I was done packing and handed my keys to the owner. I took cab to the airport where my colleagues would be waiting for us to say goodbye. Aron might be there too. I am upset and excited too. I got messages from Aron that our tickets are booked and seats are planned. We got a big apartment as we are engaged in Tokyo. He seemed excited.

I arrived at the airport and bed goodbye to the colleagues. Aron wasn't there and Fritz was late. After some minutes he arrived. "Hey , sorry Meli , just traffic was harsh" Fritz said. "It's fine hurry up. Um , Fritz , by any chance did you see Aron?" I questioned. "Sorry but no" he said. I nodded . He placed his arms around my shoulder and we left for our security check. I looked back the last time but Aron wasn't there. Our flight took off and we held onto our breathes for a new start.

"It's fine Meli , Aron would contact you later" Fritz broke the silence. Did I look too tensed or something? "Yeah , no it's fine" I added quickly. Our flight was smooth but was a 3 hour flight. I slept for 2 hours and then ordered snacks. For the whole flight Fritz can't stop planning about our future. I got tensed when he mentioned our wedding and children. "Fritz , time is the god , don't predict things from now" I said irritated. Fritz was shocked and decided to keep quiet. Our flight landed and it was a relief. There were agents and drivers to drive us to our Apartment. On the way , we saw our office. It was big and beautiful. Flowers of different colours added to it's beauty. The apartment given was really big. It was two stored bungalow with two bedrooms well furnished with peach colour. There was a big open kitchen and two powder rooms. It was beautiful as a small garden was made with marigold flowers. It felt wonderful as a cherry tree was just beside us. "You like it?" Fritz said "I chose it because the cherry tree was just beside , I know how much u like cherry blossoms" He added. "Oh my my , thanks Fritz" I gasped at everything. I was so excited.

Fritz offered the upstairs room to me and I unpacked the things. Suddenly I saw a photo frame looking at me through my bag. I gasped as I looked at the photo. It was me in my childhood and this is my favourite picture. I assumed that Aron had put it before I left. The picture reminded of myself. I kept it at the bed table and showered. I went downstairs and made coffee for Fritz and me.

"It's so much peace here , isn't it , Melissa?" Fritz spoke up. I looked at him , "It is" I replied. It was really peaceful. I found comfort in Fritz arms and slept there only. It wasn't until dinner time that I woke up. I saw the whole room dark and a way of candle lights leading the dining place . I followed the path until I gasped when I felt two arms grabbed me from the back. "Fritz?" I enquired. "Yes , dear, who did you think can touch you without your permission?" he spoke up , his voice calm and cold. I gasped some air when I felt his lips going down my neck. Fritz stopped just on my shoulder and enquired me , "Hungry?", "Yes please" I said. He picked me up in his arms at once and I could see his jawline perfectly masculine. We had dinner together and on my way to the bed he called me again, "Meli" . "Yes?" I said. He came closer to me and hugged me tight. "Promise me that u will never ever leave me, promise me that you will always stay beside me" He said, he voice calm and composed. "Don't worry , I will" I assured . I slowly kissed him in his lips and it was deep. It was the first time that I was really falling for him. But the kiss was perhaps a mistake as he kissed me back deeply, gripping my neck and falling with me on the bed. We kissed like our hungry souls needed assurance. When he tried to take my sweatshirt off , I hesitated. He understood me and just nodded. "It's fine , we have all life , good night to you Meli" Fritz said I just stayed quiet as I was still processing some thoughts.

The next day was our first joining date and everyone wished us good morning. The staff members were nice enough to take us for a visit of our office. We are the head of the new project and we were well aware of our job and this continued. Our life with work and limited physical contact until we get comfortable with each other.

There are times when you try hard to forget something by experiencing something new but those memories just rise up in front of you in every alike moments. I guess that's why people tell that Love is the most Dangerous Addiction.
