Chapter 253: Sorry?
"You know you don’t have to continue to console me. I am fine."
"I just wanted some ice cream, Ravi," Asher said with a smile as he held the cone of ice cream in his hand. Seeing Ravi’s suspicious expression, he blinked innocently, "Don’t all children want ice cream any chance they get? Why are you looking at....Arlen! Arlen! Over here!" Asher raised his free hand and waved as high as he could, jumping so the tall man clad in a black rather than dark blue police uniform could see them.’
Arlen turned from the group of men and women that he was walking into the hospital with and said something to them. They spoke for some minutes, the one in front, the Special Agent nodded and Arlen left them, coming over to where the two of them were standing with their ice cream.
Oh heaven! He was so handsome. Ravi’s lips curled into a smile but then he looked at those smiling blue eyes and there was not a hint of a smile in them.
Ravi’s lips instantly strengthened and his heart felt like an iron ore had dropped inside. Other officers might be at a loss at what happened, they might not pay any attention to how an officer had disappeared from their bus but how could Arlen not notice?
He slept for two days straight, how could he not place each issue side by side? He must be so upset with him for keeping everything a secret.
The heaviness in his chest seemed so heavy and he fought back his desire to bolt. He forced himself to look up and meet Arlen’s gaze.
The sight squeezed his heart tight. Those gorgeous blue eyes carried sadness.
Asher had no idea what was going through Ravi’s head, he must have known that the two of them were staring at each other for the longest time. He was grown up enough to know to give them time to look at each other some more.
