Innocent Love Of A Deadly Gangster
Chapter 18 - HIS SMILE..... HER TREASURE
As they two stepped out of the car and moved in the high-end entrance of the restaurant Jessica raised her brows in suspicion. Being one of the best restaurants it was rather looking like a deserted one with only a few waitresses around. She was about to ask the receptionist when she was dragged to one of the private rooms by Steve saying he was hungry.
After giving their orders Steve and Jessica kept quite enjoying the relaxing romantic music that played in the room. Jessica was staring out of the windows not noticing that the man with her was staring at her with a look of helplessness. Soon the waiter came in and laid down the food ordered on the table.
Steve kept silent until he finally spoke gathering all of his courage, "Come on eat up! The food is turning cold!"
His voice bought Jessica out of her daze as she subconsciously looked at the steak placed in front of her. Without saying a word she picked up the knife and fork as she sliced the steak slowly. Seeing her lazy actions Steve picked up his plate that had the cut steak and replaced with that of Jessica.
"How come you are so slow? Come on eat up or you will sleep hungry today." Steve grumpily as he cut his own steak. He was trying hard to divert Jessica's mind but he didn't know that his actions were making Jessica even sadder.
Jessica bowed her head and stared at the steak as a scene unfolded in front of her eyes. She saw a beautiful lady dressed in a simple white gown as she fed a little girl. The lady was telling stories as she urged the small child to eat her food. The lady's actions were graceful and her eyes contained endless love for the little child.
Jessica picked a slice of steak and swallowed it in with all the sorrow. After that bite, she promised herself to be stronger. A man's picture suddenly flashed through her mind and she was reminded of the words, 'it is better to make the present happier than live in the sadness of the past.'
"How was your day?" Jessica asked Steve with a bright smile on her face. Steve was relieved after he saw the smile on the face of his girl. "It was great. What about you?" Steve asked with an equally mesmerizing smile on his face.
Jessica was blinded by the smile on the man's face. It was not like it was her first time to see him smile but it was her first time to see the happy smile on his face that made him even more handsome. She was now in love with this smile and decided to treasure this for a lifetime.
Steve saw the expression on the face of Jessica and thought that she did not like his smile so he put off an irritating face and the smile disappeared as if it never existed.
All of a sudden Jessica got up from her seat and moved towards Steve. Steve saw Jessica as she walked to him and stood in front of him with a serious look. Staring at her eyes he felt as if he was lost in them. It is true when people say that the eyes are the mirror of someone's emotion. No matter the look a person gave his eyes would tell you the true things. He could see the feeling of loneliness, sadness and fear in the eyes of Jessica which was totally opposite to the confident, refined and lively Jessica he knew. His heart ached as he thought of many possibilities.
All of a sudden, Steve stood from his seat and hugged Jessica. Shocked by his actions Jessica stood still as a rock not daring to move an inch. "Jessica... I am always by your side..." Steve said in a low voice. Jessica was in a daze hearing him say these words. She slowly patted his back without saying a word.
Steve finally composed himself after a few minutes and stood straight facing Jessica. Jessica was neither too tall nor too short with a height of 5'8. While Steve was 6'1 tall. He cupped Jessica's face in his hand as he said, "remember I will always be by your side to protect you." Jessica held the hand which was holding her face and nodded slightly as she hummed in reply.
The atmosphere turned lighter as the couple ate their food and talked about humorous things that took place that day. In their one hour talk, neither of them mentioned the Han family.
Steve dropped Jessica off to her apartments after their dinner. Jessica was ready to go out when the man sitting next to her grabbed her hand and looked at her with eager eyes. "What do you need?" Jessica asked looking at the men. "I have a question..." Steve continued without waiting for a reply, "what is your most treasured thing?" On his question, Jessica stared at him and quietly move out and came to the car window where Steve was sitting. She gave a slight knock on the window before the man inside rolled it down to see the smiling face of Jessica.
"To me, the most treasured thing is..... your smile... I hope you could preserve this smile always so I could see it whenever I want." Finishing her sentence she kissed the cheek of the dumbfounded man and quickly walked into the building.
The man in the car touched the place where the girl just kissed feeling extremely happy. Right now he wanted to just dance. His mind was doing summersaults due to happiness. With a proud smile on his face, he ordered the driver to drive home. he was so love-struck the did not wash the side of his face which the girl had kissed for days.....
