In future try to trust me more

Days passed very quickly. Lisa started going to school as her father's condition was much better. During these days Carl Black dropped her in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon every day. Life was going smoothly for them.

Lisa and Anna Green were sipping coffee in the cafeteria after they finished classes.

Anna Green looked at Lisa and asked "Did Daniel tell you anything about Neil?"

Lisa looked back to Anna Green and said shaking her head "No. He didn't call me these days."

Anna Green shrugged and leaned back to the chair. She sighed deeply and said "I can't sit here and wait for his call anymore. I'll go to the 'Y' city to find my brother. I'll take help from the police."

Lisa frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. I can't waste any more time. It's already too late. Who knows what difficulties he is facing there?"

She lowered her head to hide her teary eyes and continued speaking "Something might happen to him. Otherwise, he will not live at ease without talking to me. I have booked a flight ticket for tomorrow to 'Y' city."

Lisa was surprised and asked "What? But how will you manage alone there?"

"I am managing alone here. Don't worry. I am not that weak. I can manage."

Lisa was very worried about Anna Green but she couldn't do anything as she already decided to go to 'Y' city.

She only said helplessly "OK. But do call me if you need any help. I'll talk to Mr. Black. Maybe he can help you."

Anna Green held Lisa's hand tightly and said "Thank you, Lisa. That means a lot. I'll call you."

At that time Lisa received a call from Carl Black. He informed her that he is waiting outside the gate.

She patted Anna Green's hand and said "You take care. I am leaving first."

After parting with Anna Green, she went out of the school and saw Carl Black's car parking outside the gate.

She got up the car and said "Hey."

Carl Black frowned to see Lisa's flustered face and asked "What happened?"

Lisa looked at him and said "You know everything looking at my face. I can't hide anything from you. Are you a mind reader?"

Carl Black chuckled and said "I am not a mind reader. It's all overwritten on your face. Anyone can tell that you are not in good mood. Now tell me, what makes you unhappy?"

She looked at him for few moments and said "Anna's brother Neil is missing for few days. His phone is switched off. Few months ago he left for 'Y' city and started working in an IT company there, but for few days she is not able to contact him."

Carl Black frowned and fixed his gaze at her without saying anything for few moments. It seemed that he realized something.

He started saying indifferently "You met her that day to discuss this, didn't you?"

Her face turned pale realizing that he had caught her lies. She only nodded without saying anything.

He looked away from her and said indifferently "I know someone. He used to be a private detective. But now he took retirement. We can ask him."

She felt very bad after hearing this.

She looked at him and said "I am sorry. I should tell you on that day. But you were already tensed with the matter of Dad so I didn't want to trouble you. Daniel went to 'Y' city for his works, so I asked him to find out Neil. He has many connections so I thought...."

Before she could finish she heard his cold voice "You.... You told Daniel everything and you didn't think to tell me."

Carl Black felt disappointed and fixed his gaze at Lisa. She felt helpless by the piercing gaze of Carl Black. She knew that he is angry with her and this feeling was killing her.

She hurriedly tried to explain "No, no, please don't think like that. I really didn't ...."

He interrupted her "It is ok Lisa. Don't explain anything. It is OK if don't want to share with me anything."

He looked away from her and tightened his grip on the steering wheel before he continues "But in future please try to trust me more if you can."

He looked at her and said "I promise you that you will not regret it. I'll try my best to solve each and every problem of yours whether it is small or big."

Lisa squeezed his hand and said "I trust you. I only didn't want to trouble. Sorry."

He held her hand and said "How could that be a trouble for me? Hmm? I can do anything for your smile. Remember this always. Don't hide anything from me. OK?"

She skipped a bit to hear this. She is hiding her past relationship with Daniel Brooke. She tried several times to tell him but she failed to do so. Though Carl Black told her that he doesn't bother about her past but still she didn't feel good. Whenever she thought this she becomes restless. She thought the matter of Daniel Brooke will hurt him. She scared of hurting him. This is the greatest fear of her life. She didn't want to hide her past relationship but she was also not able to tell him due to the fear of hurting him. She felt very uneasy and shifted her gaze away from him to outside.

Carl Black drove away and the journey was very quiet. No one was willing to talk and very soon they reached the apartment.

They both got off the car.

Lisa looked at him and said, "Please come in and have some coffee."

He nodded and went inside together. He dialed a number as soon as they entered the house and asked him to help to find out Neil Green.

He turned around and looked at Lisa and said "We will go to meet him tomorrow. You tell Anna to come here. We will go together, OK?"

"But Anna is leaving tomorrow to 'Y' city."

Carl Black sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and said "Then you tell him whatever you know about Neil."

"OK."

Lisa paused for a moment, pulled the corner of Carl Black's sleeve, and asked "Are you angry with me?"

Carl Black looked at her, placed his hands on her shoulders and said "No. I am disappointed. I am disappointed with myself because I failed to gain the trust of yours. I am disappointed with you that you trust Daniel more than me."

He pulled her into his embrace and said "You trust another man more than me makes my heartache. I can't bear this feeling Lisa. It's killing me."

Lisa hugged him back instinctively "Mr. Black I trust you. I am sorry. Please forgive me."

Carl Black lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely. Lisa was stunned with this sudden kiss. She was not prepared for this. Her eyes were wide open and she was staring at his enlarged face in shock.

Carl Black was kissing her like a mad man as if he wanted to tell her that she belongs only to him and she can trust only to him. His kiss was possessive and aggressive.

After a long time when Lisa was almost fainted out of breath he released her.

He looked at her swollen lips, caressed her lips and said slowly "Sorry."

He turned around from her and said "You... you go and freshen up."

She was standing on the spot dumbfounded as if she was rooted there. Her heart was beating so fast and her breathing was uneven. She placed her hand on her chest and slowly walked away to her room.

Carl Black looked at her back and his face turned gloomy. He was feeling very depressed. He never wanted to kiss her like this. He thought many times how will be his first kiss to her. He fantasized about it but he never thought that his kiss will be so much aggressive. He thought that he hurt her feelings and this thought was enough to erupt emotional turmoil in his mind. He rubbed his forehead in frustration. He was feeling ashamed to face her and it angered him most.

He sat down on the sofa. He leaned back closing his eye and placed his fist on his forehead. He was sitting in the same position for a long time.

He was disturbed by Lisa's sweet voice. He opened his eyes only to see her holding a cup of coffee.

He was staring at her without saying anything and he heard her to say "Mr. Black, I made coffee for you."

Carl Black regained his sense and said "Yeah, yeah... um... please keep it on the table. I- I'll take it."

She placed the coffee cup on the table and turned around to leave. But she heard him saying "Lisa.... I- I am sorry. I shouldn't... I mean..."

He couldn't complete his sentence in nervousness. He was feeling so embarrassed that his face turned pale and cold sweat appeared on his face.

She looked at him and suppressed her laughter and said "Coffee will get cold. Drink it first. Stay for dinner. I will cook for you."

She left hurriedly to the kitchen after saying this and she couldn't hide the naughty smile on her face. She found Carl Black's expression very cute and her heart was filled with joy.
