"we all are fighting demons of our own, none of us have time for anyone but ourselves"

Days were turning into weeks and these weeks into a whole month. Life for them was a house of cards, in between their teasing, fighting and arguing they both were slowly getting burned by the heat of something unknown.

It was something new to both of them. Their feeling were a puzzle being with missing pieces.

She had given her finals online and he had gotten a job in one of the famous universities in Turkey. Aaban had shifted to turkey and in her apartment much to her dismay.

Their lives were falling back into their places. The headquarters of Gyrfalcons was shifted to Turkey under her command.

Tonight was Ayşe's engagement party. Everyone in tht business industry and Underworld was invited. It was huge celebration for Ayşe and Jihangir. She only just found out that heer manager and her bestfriend fancied eachother.

The hotel was glimmering with golden lights all around. The ballroom looked magnificent with the decorations and arrangements. People dressed in classy gowns and perfectly tailored suits swayed on the dance floor or could be seen conversing amongst themselves.

She stood in a corner with Ayşe as they both tiredly sat away from tht crowd, real happiness oozed off of her as she saw how happy her friend was.

"Sen ve Aaban ne zaman ciddileşiyorsunuz?" Ayşe asked as her father walked away to meet his friend. Huda turned to her raising an eyebrow at her question.
(When are you and Aaban getting serious?)

"Ne hakkında ciddi misin?" She asked waving at a man who smiled her way. Her nonchalant ways were irking Ayşe to no limits.
(Serious about what?)

"Huda"

(Huda...)

"Hayır bunun hakkında konuşmak istemiyorum" Huda shushed her sipping her drink. Her eyes settled on Aaban who was also. He looked so carefree as he openly flirted with the woman who touched his bicep. Her grip on the glass tightened as he tucked a strand of that woman's hair behind her ear smiling at her.

(No. I don't want to talk about it)

"Huda'yı sonsuza kadar yenemezsin. Her şey açık. Onu başka bir kadınla göremezsin ama yine de iddianı kabul etme. O senden başka bir kadına baksa bile öfkeyle yanarsın ama yine de bakmaz kıskandığını itiraf et. ne yapıyorsun?" Ayşe said turning her to herself. Her gaze turned to her friend who stared at her.
(you can't beat about the bush forever Huda. it's all clear. you can't see him with another woman but still don't take your claim. you burn in rage if he even looks at woman other than you but still dont admit that your jealous. what are you doing?)

"Her neyse" she said looking back to the place where Aaban was previously. She eyebrows furrowed as she scanned the room for a familiar face but found his retreating back walking to the hallway that lead to the spare rooms of the hotel.
(Whatever)

She downed her drink and placed the glass on the table, she took another glass of tht unknown poison from the waiter that walked around downing it one go. Her throat burned at the acidic sensation. She walked over in that direction following tht girls giggles making her cringe.

"We'll have a great time tonight that I promise you" the girl purred in his ears making him roll his eyes and try preying her hands away from himself.

"Get off!" he yelled making her flinch but smile creepily backing him against the wall. He was only flirting with the woman to grab his woman's attention but now it was getting too much. Huda looked tempting in that sequined short silver dress that hugged her body like second skin.

He had a hard time controlling himself from going over there and dragging her away from everyone's sight. His second best option to find another distraction.

"Hush hush. Just enjoy" she slurred nuzzling her face in his neck. Her hands running all over him as he tried pushing her off. Her nails dug in his suit jacket tightening her hold over him.

He placed his hands on her waist trying to push her away but his movement halted as the sound of heels clicking against the tiles grabbed his attention.

His brown eyes shifted towards the left and froze on the pair of black ones. She stared at them stoically, her eyes hazy and streaked red indicating just how drunk she could've possibly been. She stood by the support of the table near her.

His eyes widened as she blinked ever so slowly and a tear slipped down her cheek. Her lips pulled up in a hurtful smile as she walked away nodding her head.

"Neden bir şey bekliyorum ki? Ayşe hakkında ciddi olmamı mı istiyorsun?" She said passing Ayşe who glared at the man who ran after her friend.
(Why do I even expect anything? You want me to be serious about this guy Ayşe?)

Her heart felt that exact pain she felt years back but it was ten folds now. She had unknowingly started expecting something from him, what? Even she didn't know but now it all seemed as though it was a joke and nothing else.

She could hear him calling her from behind but she kept walking mindlessly. She had started feeling a sort of way towards him, expecting hin to sneak in her room and in her bed, wrapping her in his warmth while he thought she didn't notice. Waking up next to her like he didn't know how he got there.

His heartbeat under her palm, as she stayed up listening to it snuggling I'm his warm embrace. Him pulling her body to himself and kissing the breath out of her lungs and sanity out of her soul. It was all a joke. A pathetic joke.

The valet brought her car and she was about to settle in when a hand grabbed onto her elbow.

"Huda listen to me" she felt herself being tugged back into a strong chest. Her legs gave out as the strong smell of his cologne held her hostage.

"Leave me alone" she said trying to push herself away from. Her eyes were wet and face blank. Even pain had a hard time finding its way out of her eyes and her heart.

"All of that was misunderstanding. It's not what it looks like. I can explain" he said tightening his hold around her waist halting her struggle.

"Explain then" she said looking him in the eye. The hostile look in her red streaked eyes was chilling him to the core. Gone was the warmth he worked so hard to feel in this past month.

"She. She forced herself on me. I swear it was all so sudden I was caught off guard" he breathed out trying to cup her face but she moved back holding her hand up.

"Umhm. Alright. And what about the flirting. I don't think it was her who gave the green signal" she said crossing her arms over her chest.

"I was just trying to irk you it was nothing serious" he sighed looking at her who looked unreadable.

In one swift motion he was pinned against the car with her standing in his personal space. His gaze caressed her every feature, without a warning he felt her lips crash on his. Her hand curled around his nape pulling his head down, the other cupping his jaw.

His arms rounded her frame pulling her flush against himself. Her lip moved against his possessively biting and nibbling on them making him hold her closer to himself.

"You're only mine and I don't like sharing what's mine even if it's for a joke. You won't like tht outcome of irking me more if you even dare to" she gripped his jaw firmly in her hand surprising him by the dominance and determination her eyes held.

Feeling her pressed against himself was already too much for him and now the burning need and desire in her orbs was driving him crazy.

She tugged at his tie pulling his head down to hers claiming his lips in another passionate kiss. The sky cried down heavy tears of rain soaking them in it's pour.

The driver was beckoned, the car was driven to their home while they dwelled against one another in the back seat. The rain grew intense with the droplets hitting the pavement with delight.

He carried her inside the building and their penthouse. The wet suit jacket was forgotten on the living room floor, shoes kicked off, their mouths tasted eachother as if there was no tomorrow.

Her rage and his need were a deadly combination against the raging storm outside. He laid her on the bed discarding his wet cloths. Her chest heaved up and down as she shivered feeling the chilly air hit her wet body.

"You're all the same. You make me want to love you. To hold you in ways a lover would and then. And then show me how just not enough I am. He cheated on me, you. I don't expect anything else from you too." She whispered staring at the ceiling lifelessly. Her eyes turned to his as she turned her head to the side.

"It's always what's on the outside that they want, no one cares about what you feel inside. I'm right am I?" She asked inhaling sharply and wiping a start tear away from her face.

Aaban stared at her laying figure on the bed, he crawled up on the bed pulling her up in a sitting position. She looked like a lost child with her head tilted to the side, her eyes glistening with tears.

"You said you want me to love you right? You want me to feel the way you feel? How do I do that? How do I know what it feels like? If wanting you even when I'm sober then yes. I love you. If waking up with my head on your chest and feeling complete is what it feels like then yes I do feel that way. But I'm scared. I'm scared that this feeling, this want will eat me and end me" she cried softly placing her head on his shoulder.

"It's all a fear and Huda doesn't have fears right? I'll make it all better" he cooed making her scoot closer to him.

"What if you also just want me for a night and are just playing around to make me believe you."

"I'm not-"

"I won't take it nicely this time. This time I won't be able to resist and save myself and this time I'm afraid the curse will surely come true." She whispered pecking his shoulder.

"Do you trust me?"

"I want to. But I don't know if I should" she whispered as he pulled her back and laid her back on the bed.

"Then trust me this once and let all you fears go away. Just let it go and let me show you how much I've fallen in love with you over these months" he whispered in her ear kissing her earlobe. Her breath hitched as the intensity of her desires and fear increased.

"Aaban-" she whispered pushing him away a little. She looked in his eyes which gazed at her like she was all he ever wanted to set his eyes on.

"Do you trust me on this Huda? Would you let all you past go for me. Just for a night to see and feel what it all is like?" He whispered caressing her cheek.

"Yes" she whispered letting herself go in his embrace. Letting her barriers fall and let him meet her vulnerable side.

He kissed her lips like they were a fruit from heaven, his hands slipped her dress off her frame, she blushed crimson feeling his heated gaze on her body.

"You're gorgeous" he whispered kissing her neck, pinning her hands beside her head interlacing their fingers.

She moaned at the skin to skin contact and the new sensations that rocked her body making her coy and meek under his touch.

He worshipped her body like he had never before. Her moans filled his ears as he made her his own. He kissed all her pain away making her fall into a dimension that seemed like a dream.

The storm calmed down outside and the rain pattered on the glass windows of her room. The curtains have them the privacy that they required hiding them away from the preying gaze of the stormy clouds.

She felt herself falling into a portal of pleasure and bliss feeling him kiss her shoulder softly as she finally lost her consciousness and fell into the warmth of his arms that held her against himself under the covers.

He gazed at her flushed face as she breathed slowly on his chest. Her arms wrapped around him and her head placed on his chest, her soft breaths falling on his skin making him shiver under the after effect of what had occured.

He was surprised to know he was her first but happy at the same time. He moved a strand of her damp hair away from her face.

"I didn't even know that I've fallen in love with you until I felt restless after you left Pakistan. I didn't know what being afraid of losing someone was until you almost fell from that balcony months ago. I didn't know what love was until I met you. I'm not perfect, hell I'm not even close but you are. To me you're and will always be a perfect half. I love you. I really do, and I want to keep it that way" he kissed her forehead, his lips lingering there for a minute too long.

He pulled her close to himself and felt himself falling a sleep as the first few rays of the sun hit the sky and the world bringing in a brightness that would light up their whole world......
