Mr Bodyguard, Protect Your Heart!

Gavi took the lunch box from Dante, before he bid one last goodbye, and ran inside his school building, before he bid a last goodbye to Dante. Dante smiled as he too waved his hand, looking at Gavi’s back as he entered the school building. There he met a few other kids, who he recognised as his friends, and then he turned towards the car. Getting inside the car, he found Dove looking his way, but he could tell that she was a little absent minded. Maybe, she is bothered about something related to the company. He thought. I will ask her about it later if she needs any help.

"Dove, shall we go to the company now?" He asked her in a gentle tone. To which, Dove looked at him, and she hummed and replied, "Yes." Dante started the car, and started driving. And what he did not notice was her eyes looking at him with a complicated expressions.

It was a regular bad habit of Gavi to always forget the lunch box in the car. And that was why, it was almost like a daily duty for Dove to remind him that. But today, she was so zoned out in her own thoughts that not only had she not realised when they reached his school, but she did not even remember about Gavi’s lunch box. And the main culprit were her thoughts about Dante, that had been revolving around her head since last night. It had been giving her a lot hard time since last night! She did not want to think like this about him. She did not want to think negatively about what he had been so excited and happy to share about. But no matter how much she wanted not to think about it, it just wouldn’t work.

So, she had just decided to bury all her attention in her work. And perhaps after a while, it would get normal! And hence, she did not even pay attention to her son! And just when Dove was starting to feel guilty about it, she saw Dante’s and Gavi’s interaction. And her heart shook. They way he was so gentle with Gavi. And the way, Gavi was so happy around Dante. And now their interaction made the thoughts in her head worse.

Did... did she really start liking Dante? Honestly, Dove couldn’t be hundred percent sure. After all, she had never really experienced something like this before. And maybe, she would have got the guts to go with the flow and see it for herself where it leads her, but right now, she couldn’t. Especially after knowing that Dante already had someone in his heart. And even if that thought made her feel bitter, then so be it, because her her integrity would never allow her to even extend any chance towards a man who had another woman in his heart.

Dove sighed, before she closed her eyes and rested his head on the seat. She had not completely noticed herself when and how her feelings had come this far for him. Was it when he showed concern for her? When he stood beside her during times when she thought that it was difficult? Or when he made her laugh with his humour? Or was it simply his charm that cornered her? She did not know.
