I had no idea. All I knew was that I wanted to be with Hayden…if that was at all possible…

"I’m not sure…" I mumbled.

"Well, I’m not the one who needs to know the answer to that," Harvey surmised teasingly.

"Right…" I murmured when I finally caught on to what Harvey wanted me to understand.

While I was busy thinking of what I wanted to know and answers that I wanted from Hayden, I completely forgot that from his point of view there were probably answers that he wanted from me too. Unfortunately, I wasn’t in a position to take the first step to close the gap between us in this case because that was quite impossible since I’m locked in this room.

"What can I do to get Hayden to visit me?" I asked abruptly.

The way Harvey looked at me showed that my words had caught him a little off-guard. I was also shocked at my sudden and very direct question. Before I could process my own thought, I had already asked that question. Harvey’s wide-eyed expression quickly turned into a look of amusement.

"I have a few ideas but if I’m not wrong, you wouldn’t need to use any of those…" Harvey said with a mischievous smile.

Just when I thought I didn’t understand what he meant, the door to the room started sliding open. My eyes immediately went to the door, and I stood up from the bed. My body moved on its own and I was standing right in front of the sliding door in no time at all.

It can’t be…

Did the door always slide open this slowly or was I just anxious to see the man I thought must be standing right on the opposite side of the door? I knew that it was the latter but that didn’t calm down the wild beating of my heart.

Hayden is here…finally…

I had no idea what brought this on, but I was over the moon thrilled and excited that he was finally here to see me. The door opened and Hayden stood there with his usual cold and emotionless mask on his face. He was dressed in an all-white suit that I thought complimented his blond hair and blue eyes very well.

"Hayden…" I whispered his name as my eyes continued to take in the sight of him.

It was a little hard to believe that he was finally here. It had clearly been too long since we last saw each other. I stood there as if glued to the spot as the various words that I had prepared to say to him died a sudden death on my closed lips.

The heel of his shoes clicked against the floor as he took a couple of long strides into the room. He walked right past me without as much as glancing over my way.

"Why are you here again?" Hayden asked coldly and I knew that his words were not directed at me.

"Well, you’re back quite early today…" Harvey teased lightly.

"Why are you here?" Hayden asked again as he strode deeper into the room.

I turned just in time to see Hayden standing right next to my bed where Harvey was still sitting with a bright and innocent smile on his face. This isn’t what it looks like…trust me…

"To keep a promise. I told you already that I would visit Malissa again because I had a promise to keep and that is exactly what I’m doing," Harvey explained casually.

"What promise?" Hayden asked.

Harvey just smiled and that was the only answer that he was willing to offer. Hayden’s eyes narrowed menacingly at his brother, and I was starting to second guest my impression that the two brothers always got along. It felt like Hayden would do something crazy if he didn’t get the answer that he wanted, and Harvey’s playful and teasing attitude wasn’t improving his younger brother’s mood.

"Umm…actually…Harvey promised to show me some photos of you when you were younger…" I said as I pointed to the closed photo album laying on the bed right next to where Harvey was sitting.

Hayden’s eyes followed where my finger was pointing, and a look of displeasure graced his face before he reached out a hand and snatched the album off the bed. I guess, Hayden didn’t like the idea of me seeing more of his photos. He didn’t seem to mind when I saw the photo of him and Ethan together in his living room, though.

"Sorry…I didn’t think that you would mind…" I quickly apologized.

"Hayden doesn’t mind. He’s just being shy," Harvey corrected confidently.

By that time, I was quite sure that Harvey was acting like this on purpose to annoy Hayden. I believed that Harvey knew how to read a room and also judge what people were thinking and feeling. There was no way that he didn’t understand his brother so the only logical conclusion was that he was doing this intentionally with the hope that Hayden would…what?

What does he want to achieve?

"Don’t worry, Malissa. I’ll show you more photos of Hayden just like you’ve requested. There are loads of albums on Hayden. Auntie is truly a fan of his. She’s made more album of him than of me, for sure…" Harvey said followed by a carefree laugh.

"Aha…" I mumbled, quickly recalling that I haven’t even asked.

"Just leave…" Hayden said curtly as his eyes stared at his brother.

"Ok, I get it. Good night, Malissa, I shall take my leave now…" Harvey said playfully as he headed for the door.

If there’s someone completely unintimidated by Hayden and his anger, it was Harvey.

As commanded, the door began sliding open and after waving happily at the two of us, Harvey walked out of the room. The door started closing behind him and soon Hayden and I were the only ones left in the room.
