Chapter 66 - Advancing to another stage

Nathan not being the type that allows this type of closeness unless he initiated it himself, couldn't help but pat the back of this woman crying in his embrace. He looked void of emotions, but knew how hard it must have been on Diana to hold back her tears in front of those people.

He admired her courage, "calm down." He said as Diana couldn't stop crying and not letting go of him, her lipstick, as well as her makeup has stained his white shirt.

"I..I can't." Diana stammered in between heavy sobbing, her hand shaking as she held onto him tightly, just as she had wished to hold her father and cried in his arm.

Picking her up in the princess style, Nathan headed towards the plane, while Diana buried her head in his chest and kept crying her heart out.

All the trainees and senior didn't even seem like they were concerned about what's going on. Even if Nathan were to be killing someone in their present, neither would they do as if it's any of their concern nor talk about it behind him.

The plane soon took off with Diana in his arm, as he settled down in his seat. Diana soon find herself drifted to dream land while she hiccup in her sleep. Nathan gaze remained frosty as he held her still.

It's late when they arrived at their base, Nathan stared at the still asleep Diana in his arm and headed for her quarter. Getting there he helped her to her bed in her private room.

Diana felt their body parting, his warmth; even though it seems like his heart is made of stone, about to escape. She held him tight, not letting go.

"Human, we are on your bed." Nathan reminds her.

"Can you sleep with me?" Diana asked.

Nathan scoffed, "you're asking the impossible human." He said.

"Why? I want to." She replied.

"Because you want to escape from your thoughts?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah, I needed distraction." She replied, opening her eyes and staring into his as they remained in each others embrace on her bed.

"Don't resort to this type of distraction idiot, it will add to your problem the next day. You might try to kill yourself to get over that, so try to gain strength from your problem, instead of doing something that will hunt you later." He said.

Diana nodded, "thank you." she said.

"It's fine. If you still feel like doing it when you're sober, come find me. I nearly forget to breath when I saw you appear looking so different today." He said.

"Why don't you just do it now?"

"I told you, I don't take advantage of women, you're not clear headed now. If I do, it won't be different from taking advantage of you," He replied. "But I don't mind this." he added and leaned to kiss her, but before he could, Aroma stepped in, as Nathan has instructed one of the senior to ask her to come find him, before he brought Diana to here.

Seeing what's about to happen, Diana arm wrapping around Nathan tightly and Nathan about to kiss her, she knew she came at the right time, "I'm sorry boss, I will come back later." She said and wanted to leave.

"It's okay," Nathan replied. "I didn't know that she will be waking up so soon, I wanted to ask if it's okay for her to sleep without cleaning all the paints on her face." Nathan stated the reason for requesting for her presence.

"What were you doing?" Nathan asked Aroma.

"I was training."

"Type?"

"Boxing."

"Good! your trainee needed distraction, that should do it." Nathan said, and Aroma nodded.

"Thank you," Diana said and released him from her embrace, his warmth still lingering on her skin, but she's surprised by the type of person he is, it's like he didn't possess a heart, she couldn't even feel his heartbeat despite the closeness, not even when he said he nearly forgot to breath when he saw her. She finds him not humans like, scary, dangerous and seems to be more than he looks on the outside. "I don't want special treatment, I want to train like the rest." she added.

"You got it." Nathan patted her hair and left, his face still void of emotions like a robot. Aroma waited for Diana to remove her makeup and both headed out to advance to another stage.
