When We Were Perfect

You made me cry to the fullest

You made me laugh to the fullest

I earned love by losing my heart

You asked me for a star and I made the moon appear on the earth

The one who used to come and go like my breath

Turned into the air so suddenly...

Previously, 

Amy laid down closing her eyes but Daniel's face was still flashing before her eyes making her restless.

"What's tormenting you, Daniel! Why are you becoming a mystery to me!" She whispered to herself.

"A mystery I so badly want to unravel!"...........

**********************

"Oww!" Amy groaned, pulling Ozan's hands from her hair.

"Stop tugging my hair Ozan, mommy spent fifteen minutes doing them!" Amy said to a cheerful Ozan who continued to tug at her earrings and hair playfully.

"Let me take him Amy otherwise he is going to ruin your hair and dress!" Martha came to her rescue, taking Ozan from her.

"I don't mind it as long as he is happy but I don't want to get ready again!" Amy replied, adjusting her neckline and hair.

"You look beautiful Amy. I am sure, Master would keep his eyes on you all night!" Martha complimented her, cradling Ozan.

Tonight was Silas and Nadia's engagement function. Daniel was still getting ready since he came late from the office while Amy was already dressed.

She was wearing a navy blue gown with lacey embroidery adorned with a diamond waist belt, her hair in a messy updo causing some strands of her hair to fall on her face but beautifully. She was really looking alluring tonight.

"I doubt that Martha!" Amy responded, kissing Ozan's cheeks.

"Thanks for taking care of him for a while, I would have taken him with us but I still don't want him to be in gatherings!" 

"No need to say that Amy, I love to take care of this chipmunk!" Martha said, pinching his cheek.

Ozan pouted cutely in response, 

"No pinchy!" He mumbled, making both of them laugh.

Amy heard footsteps from behind as she turned back, inhaling a deep breath.

There he was, looking handsome as ever dressed in a branded coffee color suit with a brown waistcoat, crisp white shirt matched with a brown tie. His hair was gelled to perfection complimenting his look.

"Hey, baby!" He said kissing and caressing Ozan's forehead without giving much of a glance to Amy rendering her a bit disappointed.

"Daddy, mommy go!" Ozan mumbled with a scowl.

Daniel chuckled, 

"We will be back soon okay, be a good boy to Martha!" Daniel cooed, kissing his scowl for one last time.

"Martha, if he troubles you please call us!" Amy said, Daniel's gaze finally settled on her as he eyed her for a second.

A certain heat was rushed to the back of his mind just by her alluring figure and enticing look. He immediately turned his head towards Martha.

'She still has an effect on you, Daniel!' His mind whispered.

"I will call you guys, have a good evening!" Martha stated, calming his mind.

"Good, let's go!" Daniel said, striding towards the door, Amy also planted a kiss on Ozan's forehead before following him.

All during the car ride, Daniel sat staring out of the window while Amy glanced at him all the time. She didn't know why but she had a sudden urge to do so. Reaching the venue, Daniel went to her side as they started walking side by side in silence, his hand accidentally brushing against her making both of them shudder.

The venue was small but beautifully decorated with a blue and white theme from the flowers to the tables. There wasn't much gathering, only a handful of people chattering among themselves, Aunt Kyla was near the elated ground which looked like a stage instructing some workers. Waiters were moving here and there serving drinks and starters.

"Look who decided to grace us with their presence!" Silas came to their side with an offended expression looking sleek in his navy blue suit.

"I thought we were on time!" Daniel said with a smile hugging him tightly.

"You guys are family, you should have been here before the function started!" Silas exclaimed, pulling back from the hug.

"Yeah! Of course, they should have been here even before the decorators!" Nadia butted in, appearing from behind. Silas gave an eye roll her way.

She also looked stunning in a light blue gown with light shimmers, even with the boyish cut she totally looked mesmerizing in that.

"You both look so lovely tonight!" Nadia said hugging Daniel and then Amy.

"Says the one who definitely outdid all of us!" Amy complimented making her grin.

"I didn't know it was a theme function, maybe I could also wear something blue!" Daniel remarked, eyeing the interior and their clothes. 

"All thanks to your friend here, I only asked him to take care of the decorations and he hired birthday planners for it. Can you believe it!" Nadia exclaimed glaring at Silas who gave a sheepish smile.

"But everyone likes the decorations. Now please let go of it!" Silas said in a heartbeat, kissing her temple lovingly, hugging her waist.

"Fine! Only this time. Next time I will seriously kill you!" Nadia gave a smile his way. They really looked so good together, Amy watched in awe. Could it be Daniel and her one day? she wondered

"Guys! It's your engagement function. Let's not talk about killing and all!" Amy said with a shake of her head.

"Yeah, you are right, Amy, why don't you come with me. Mom would like to meet you!" Nadia said, grabbing her elbow.

"Why not, I would love to!" Amy glanced at Daniel.

"I will be back!" She muttered, Daniel gave her a small nod as she stepped away with Nadia.

"Do you think I am doing the right thing!" Silas stated absent-mindedly, Daniel who was taking a glass of juice from the table turned gave him a curious look.

"Why would you say that now?"

"It's just I, I really don't know!" Silas said biting his lips, trying to figure out his problem.

"Do you love her?" Daniel cleared his throat.

"Of course I do!" He replied in a heartbeat.

"When you fall in love, you really don't care about anything. All you want to do is cling to the person you love and make them the happiest!" Daniel spoke in a calm tone drinking his juice.

Silas stared at him for a moment in a daze before showing his usual grin and chuckling.

"You should have been a poet, thanks for the help brother!"

"Anytime, now let's go. I want to meet Aunt Kyla, it's been a long time!" Daniel said, dragging him towards the other direction.

It didn't take long for the ceremony to begin and before anyone knew they both were engaged officially. Now dancing with each other in the middle along with some other couple. Music was at its loud so was the clattering of dishes and chattering of people as Daniel sat at the table seeing Nadia and Silas enjoying their happiness.

Amy also sat beside him grinning lazily, in truth she was getting bored. She glanced at Daniel who wasn't much affected by the silence between them.

She was also having the urge to dance like other couples, finally contemplating for a minute and building enough courage she stood from her seat extending her hands to Daniel.

"Would you give me the honour to dance with you!" Amy asked with a nervous smile.

Daniel looked at her confused before clearing his throat about to deny when she spoke again.

"Please! I am really getting bored!" Amy said with a smile that always did wonders to his heart. He looked around and saw that two or more people were staring at them.

Sighing he took her hand hesitantly moving towards the dance floor.

Daniel couldn't fight it when she gazed at him with a soft look, placing her smooth and delicate hands around his neck bringing him close.

His breath hitched as he involuntarily placed his hands on her waist dancing to the rhythm.

Place your head on my beating heart

I am thinking out loud

And maybe we found love

Right, where we are...

Their gaze locked on each other as they continued to dance.

Amy squealed in a low voice when Daniel twirled her.

"I didn't know, you could dance this well!" Amy said amazed.

" Maybe there are a lot of things you don't know about me, Amy!" He whispered in her shoulder, making her shudder from his warm breath.

"What if I am willing to unravel every part of you!" Amy whispered back as their gaze again locked with each other but this time in an electrifying way.

Their bodies were now touching each other, setting up tingles in their stomach. It was a new feeling for Amy as she continued to dwell on it, taking the delight it was giving to her but for Daniel, it was the same feeling he had buried in his heart, a certain dread running through his body with those emotions.
