By the time I got back down after showering and getting ready, everyone had already finished their breakfast and dad was getting ready to leave for office.

Kate, Stella and Kiara were sitting in the living room discussing something.

"Jayson, next time please don't behave like that, show some manners" Mom said as I picked up a toast and smothered it with butter.

"Okay" I said as I took a bite from my toast and glanced in Kate's direction. I caught her staring at me and she blushed. I grinned as I downed my toast with another glass of orange juice.

"Well we are leaving for office; have to help your father with some designs. See you in the evening and please both you" Mom said loudly getting Kiara's attention, "try not to kill each other" she said as she grabbed her overcoat and dad helped her with it.

"We are not children mom" Kiara said.

"You certainly behave like it" Dad said as they both stepped out and closed the door behind them.

I went to the living room and crashed down in the coach opposite to the girls.

"Come on Stella, I will show you this dress I got the other day, it is so beautiful" Kiara said as she took Stella's hand and dragged her out of the living room and discretely winked at me before heading upstairs.

I shook my head at her silly attempts and turned my attention towards Kate who was sitting there across from me.

"Hey, how are you?" I signed to her

"I am fine, thank y---"she stopped mid sentence when she realized I had asked her the question by sign language. Her hands flew to her mouth as she gasped.

"You learned it already?" she asked, still shocked.

"Yup, though I am still not that good at it."

Suddenly she got and I stood up at the same instance. She came and hugged me and with that contact, every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.

I hugged her back and smiled.

"Come on. Lets go somewhere" I said to her as I took her hand and we headed towards the garage.

I took the keys to an Audi and opened the passenger door for her. She smiled and got in.

I started the engine and backed out of the garage. I knew this place where I loved to go to spend some alone time. It was beautiful there.

I knew she would love it. I glanced in her direction. She sat quietly looking out of the window and not once she asked me where we were going.

I parked the car in the basement of the building and got quickly to open her door. She stepped out and looked around.

"Where are we?" she asked

"Wait and see" I said to her and kissed her forehead and then stepped back. I didn't think before I did that but it felt so natural. My heartbeat stopped, waiting for her reaction but she simply smiled at me and interlinked her fingers with mine.

God, how much I loved her. I felt that maybe she also felt the same way for me but it was too early for us to take that step.

We got into the elevator and I pressed the button for the last floor. We rode in silence, holding hands.

Upon reaching the last floor, we stepped out and were greeted by my father's secretary.

"Hello Mr. Reynolds, here to see you father?" he asked.

"Nope, heading to the terrace, don't tell dad. I will drop by him on my way back."

He nodded and smiled at me. I took her hand lead to the back of the corridor where stairs lead to the terrace of the building. We climbed up the stairs and I pushed open the door.

Kate gasped as she took in the view. It was indeed breathtaking.

My father's office building was the tallest structure around and the view was beautiful. The statue of liberty could be seen clearly along with the entire shoreline.

"Come on" I said to her as I guided her towards a bunch of cement blocks that were lying near the railing. We climbed on them and sat down.

"So tell me about you, Kate" I said, trying to get to know her better.

"There is nothing to tell." She said

"Everyone has something to tell. How about I go first?"

"Okay"

"So you know my name is Jayson Ralph Reynolds. I was born here in NYC and have lived my entire life here. I did my graduation from Harvard in business studies and now I am pursuing MBA from Harvard."

"You are making it sound like a job interview" Kate said as she laughed.

"I am aren't I?" I said.

"How about the cliché 21 questions?"

"Sounds good to me." I smiled at her.

"Okay so favorite color?"

"Red and yours?"

"Green...emerald green"

"Favorite food?"

"Im not too picky but pizza can never be wrong. What about you."

"Same. I am not too picky when it comes to food but I do enjoy Italian food the most."

"Okay...favorite movie?"

"I am not a movie type of person. Yours?"

"A walk to remember"

"Okay nice." I said as I laughed

"It was a beautiful movie."

"Never heard about it"

She looked at me with a shocked expression like I had just told her that I do not know the name of the president of the United States.

"You have never heard about it? How about message in the bottle or the notebook?" she asked

"Nope and nope"

"We need to rectify this!"

"Huh?" I asked confused

"How can you not have seen those movies!?"

"I told you I am not the type of a person who goes for movies." I said

"Get up"

"What?"

"We are leaving"

"I am sorry if that offended you, Kate" I was now confused with her reaction. I mean they were just movies, weren't they?

"And please slow down a bit. I am not that good at sign language yet" I said to her. Her hands were flying at miles per second.

"It is not that. We are leaving right now."

"But where are we going?"

"I need my laptop."

"You can use the one in dad's office if it is that urgent" I was now very confused.

"No Jayson you don't understand. Come on, let's go." She said as she tugged my hand.

I stopped asking her question and simply lead her back down to the car. We drove in silence to Stella's house and parked outside.

"Come with me Jayson." She said as she stepped out of the car. I cut the engine and followed her in.

We reached her bedroom and she started up her laptop.

"Get comfortable" She said pointing towards her bed.

"Huh?"

"We are having a Nicholas Sparks movie marathon"
