THE OWEN HEART BEAT

OWEN-74

...❄️...

At 6am. A taxi stopped in front of the magnificent Mension belonging to one of the young business people whose name is quite often discussed lately, whether in print or social media. Elston Stuard's.

And from inside the taxi, Mia came out feeling doubtful. Not because he was afraid of the response he would receive for his presence in the morning blind like this. Because of what happened before that. Mia's heart was back.

In front of the magnificent fence, Mia who usually never hesitated to step foot is now made sculpting. He thought for a moment what he should do.

Honestly, Mia didn't want to ring the bell. Because he was afraid that if he did that, he might just wake Elston up. That's why Mia chose the second alternative, namely by calling the key holder, Bones. Despite feeling awkward, Mia had no other choice.

And in just a few minutes the gate in front of Mia opened automatically, Bones himself was the one who immediately greeted him. Mia was a little grateful.

"Miss?" bones seemed to be in disbelief. Mia could catch the look of shock on Bones' face back then. How not, instead of being in LA but now he just stands like a fool here.

"Good morning Bones? sorry to get you up so early." said Mia quickly. Despite feeling awkward, Mia could not ignore the first moment they met after a year had passed.

"Miss, how?"

"I arrived in London yesterday afternoon. And last night I went to a friend's house to spend the night there." replied Mia. I hope the explanation is enough. And sure enough, Furthermore Bones did not ask anymore. That guy is good at reading situations. Mercifully. "Are you holding the keys to my apartment?" mia said directly at the core of her arrival.

"Ah, that's right, miss. I'll give it back to you. Come in." invite Bones, friendly and also warm as usual.

"Thank you Bones." Mia followed behind the man without a second thought. "It's nice to see you again Miss Mia."

Degs...

Mia's chest warms. He is happy and also happy. Despite the long time no see, Bones still welcomed herself as she used to. Even the middle-aged man seemed to have not changed in the slightest.

"Thank you Bones."

When the two had arrived in front of the control room, Mia was just waiting at the door. He chose to observe the situation as well as every inch of the majestic mension that for quite a while he did not see Mia really longing for the atmosphere in this place. Even the faint smile on her lips clearly showed that.

Soon, Bones returns to Mia. "Key your apartment, miss. I don't know how your apartment is at the moment. But I've previously sent people to clean up the contents regularly."

"You've done a lot for me, Bones. Thanks." Mia felt overwhelmed at being treated so well by Bones like this. Moreover, if you remember the relationship between those who are only bound because of work.

"O, yes, I also bought a small gift for you. Accept it." said Mia who almost forgot the parcel she had brought since.

With a faint smile, Bones received the parcel that Mia had prepared. "Thank you, miss."

"I just came to get the keys to my apartment. I'll come back later, and the young master hasn't woken up yet, has he?" mia said she didn't want to talk too long.

"Yes miss. Young master hasn't woken up yet."

"Please keep my arrival a secret this morning Bones. I go first, and I'll be back soon." said Mia shortened the time.

"Let me deliver you, miss."

"No need for Bones. The taxi was waiting for me outside. Thank you and sorry for waking you up so early."

"No problem, miss. Be careful on your journey."

...Meanwhile, somewhere else......

With eyes still closed, Owen smiled a little smile on his face. His body feels warm and comfortable. Even in his heart he had imagined that his day would be truly beautiful.

Suddenly, the shadow came back...

A strange memory that made his chest pound faster. And this made Owen unable to maintain the smile on his face anymore.

Waking up hit by a memory that makes the feeling of raging back makes Owen turn panicked.

Ah drat.

...A flash of memory of the events of the previous few hours hit Owen's reality in a landslide....

...What have I done? how could I do such a thing, even on the day of our first meeting?...

"You're a real jerk Owen!"

He recalled all his sudden confessions to Mia. And also...

Ah. can-can her.

Owen's face warmed. The shadow was so powerful in his memories. Even Mia's fragrant body still fused perfectly with her scent.

...Did I hug her all night?...

Degs..

Degs..

Owen stopped pecking. His brain is back at work. Although her body feels warm because of the blanket that Mia might give to cover her body, but still can not cover her blushing face.

Owen rushes up to look for Mia and apologizes for what he had done last night.

Owen does not want their relationship to turn awkward again because of the reckless actions he did.

"Mia?" call Owen while looking for the girl's whereabouts. But Mia is not seen in the living room, pantry, or balcony.

"Is the girl still asleep?" it's probable. Owen smiled wryly. He wanted to knock on the door but did not want to wake Mia. That's why he left Mia's front room and stepped into the pantry.

Owen hoped that when he met Mia later, the girl would not ignore him. Especially with the ridiculous behavior he did last night.

"You're really. Why are you still such a jerk even after your breakup. Shouldn't you have persuaded him right. Get your chance again? not even acting like a fool."

Owen scolded himself. He felt ridiculous as well as pounding. This was his first time with Mia after such a long time.

...❄️❄️...

...An hour later......

After cleaning himself and also preparing breakfast, Owen again stood in front of Mia's room. It was possible that the girl had already woken up, and felt awkward about having to meet in person.

That's why Owen took the initiative to invite Mia to talk first. After all, it was the one who had made a mess. "Mia?" Owen knocked on the door slowly.

...Silent. There's no answer....

"Well, are you inside?" owen said once more. "Mia, I'll come in if you don't answer me." Owen waited for a moment. And still no answer. Owen opened the door to the room in front of him, and it was empty. Even all of Mia's stuff wasn't there. Mia is gone.

Owen's face paled. Did Mia really disappear again? Damnit.

The first thing Owen did was run out and make sure the apartment in front of his apartment. Without thinking, Owen opened the door.

Mia who was inside was slightly jolted, but she had already estimated everything, "Good morning. I'm cleaning up my stuff." Mia said, not looking awkward.

Owen's heart that had been pounding rapidly slowly began to pound at a normal pace.

Thankfully, Mia is here. In front of him.

"You're going alone? why not wake me up? i guess.."

"Sorry to make you anxious. I'm doing fine. You want a cup of coffee?" said Mia shifting the topic. And Owen could feel, the girl again making a thin distance between them.

...Your fault!...

"Mia, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't.."

Degs...

Mia's body stiffened. Why does Owen have to remember all that? why not just forget it.

"Come in, I'll make you coffee." hail Mia, after she gets out of there. Owen said nothing. Maybe he was in too much of a hurry.

Not long after, a cup of coffee was already available in front of Owen. While Mia rearranged some items that were not in place. It could be said that Mia did not want to look directly at Owen in this situation.

Owen looked back at the back that was currently feeling far from his grasp, "About last night.."

"We'd better forget about Owen." Sela Mia fast. No. gabe. No. gabe. Not like this. Owen didn't want to just forget about it. "I'm fine. I know you're drunk, so.."

"Mia,-

"May we go back to what we used to be. I'd be so happy if you didn't act like that again." Mia smiled awkwardly. He hoped his decision this time would not falter again.

Hearing that, Owen's heart ached again. Mia has decided what they want to be like.

...Is my chance really gone?...

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to" Owen really didn't know what else to say. It seems like he was too rash. This is not the right time.

"I'd better go. Thanks for the coffee Mia" said Owen then left the apartment Mia.

...It's okay you're rejecting me now....

...I'm gonna make you change your mind, Mia. Because my feelings are still the same for you and I'm sure you are too......
