CHAPTER FIVE : TENDER HEAT
"Okay Adi. Noted. I will meet Mr. Williams on my way back. Is that fine now?" I looked at him rubbing my temple with the pen. "Yeah. You just make sure you grab all the requirements before you head to WWG" he held the intercom still looking at me.
"I'll do that. Thanks" I grabbed the file in front of me and walked out of his cabin towards mine. It's been very rare from few months that I spend my morning time in my cabin after the deal with Wadhwa's was finalized. Though I come back to Pegasus in the second half of the day I will be running across the office checking the day's work and preparing for the next days events.
I am really thankful to Adi that he makes sure my cabin remains the way I want it, neat and arranged though I won't be around for a major part of the day. I took the folder which contained the documents Adi told me to discuss with Mr. William our one more client in Paris. An international client and jet lag in a day and two within two days. I hope I will be able to go on a date with Shresht this Friday.
I was not too elated thinking about it because I had made up mind that I will not invest myself too much so that to avoid any later complications. But a little excitement makes my heart beat uneven because it's been so long that I have even gone out with someone other than business. And I very well know both the Wadhwa brothers aren't the ones to consider when you want a long term relationship. One being too cocky and the other being too calculated; none of which should be the trait of a person I want to settle down in my life.
Once I collected everything needed I headed to WWG where there was a meeting with Shresht and then from there was a plan of boarding the plane with Shikhar. This is going to be quite eventful day for sure.

"Hey Madhu" I greeted the receptionist who smiled back to me while attending a call and beckoned me that I can get into the lift. The lift opened when it reached Shresht's cabin. The room never makes me feel easy for certain reason. May be the serious silence which makes the clicking of my heels against the wooden floor sound bit too loud.
"Excuse me Mr. Wadhwa?" I called for him as he wasn't in his seat. There was no response. I jerked when the door of the lift opened suddenly and a sigh escaped my mouth when it was Shresht.
"Oh did I scare you?" he walked to me with a cup of coffee. "Take" he offered me and I looked at him confused. "I had been to the cafe and thought you will not refuse a cup of Latte" he smiled and I nodded my head.
"I am not going to fall for these" I took the cup and sat on the chair. He moved to his seat and sat on it leaning to the glass top of the table. "That's the thrill. I don't even know how to make you fall for me, so I have to try everything" he relaxed. "I think all I come here for is either to hear the cheap philandering words of your brother or to hear the tidy philandering words of yours" I chuckled sipping the coffee.
"Oh you make it sound like a competition" he pointed his index finger at me. "I am not making it sound that way. You both are trying to turn it to one and mind you I am not going to entertain this" I bent to the table. He chuckled which I watched while sipping on the cup again.
"That's exactly what makes you more attractive. Do you know that?" he leaned back on his chair. "You see I am not narcissist like your top model to accept it straight away" I twitched my lips and that made him smile. "Oh Siya can't take the burn of being roasted. But I don't deal with their attitudes here. Their face sells the product and that's why they are here" his lips curved down while he shrugged his shoulders.
"Um" I gulped the coffee. "So, basically I am here so that I do the repairing work of your brother's image while not falling for him" I looked at him quizzical. "Now we aren't discussing this" he licked his lower lip and got up to move to his personal cabin and when he returned he had a file. Placing it in front of me he pointed at a particular page.
"This is the company which is interested in partnering with us for their advertising requirements. I don't know what got into Ms. Morgan that she wanted to meet the top model of our company. After you are finished with Shikhar's show make sure you people meet her in Greece" he looked back at the file.
"Are you kidding me? I have to reschedule my return now" I looked at him annoyed. "I am sorry I spoke to her this morning only and she is too important client to refuse" he apologized. "Wait a minute" I took my phone out and checked the travel schedule Naina, the travel manger of Pegasus had mailed me.
"How much time will it take from Paris to Greece?" I asked scanning my phone. "By plane I think just an hour" he answered. "Um..hm." I hummed and calculated the time I had before boarding the plane back to India. "Done" I looked up and found him staring at me confused.
"I think it's time for me to leave for the airport" I looked at my watch. Grabbing the files I stood up and started to move. "Don't forget about the date on Friday" he spoke and I turned to him amused. "Only if I am able to manage all the jet lags I will be back with" I squinted my eyes. "But you promised" he protested.
"And if I am breaking it also because of you" I pointed. He neared me concerned. "I am sorry I didn't knew it is burdening you so much. I will ask Shikhar to meet Ms. Morgan alone" he suggested. "Thank you but he won't give me the insights of his meeting which will again cause me only trouble" I shook my head.
"Are you sure?" he looked still concerned. "I'll be okay. Thank you" I moved towards the lift and got out of his cabin.
While I was still in the lift I made a note of everything I had to finish in this two days three nights trip. Plus tolerate Mr. Lucifer for two days. I don't even know where are we staying in Paris. Shresht insisted on booking the place and I blindly accepted it.
When the lift stopped I found Siya standing in front of it. She did not smile at me and walked inside the lift and I nodded my head moving towards the reception. "Hey Madhu" I smiled at her and she did the same. "Can you tell me where Mr. Shikhar Wadhwa is? We have a flight to board" I asked her. "Um he was with Daniel when he exited his cabin half an hour ago. I will just call Daniel's office and inform him" she took the landline and I nodded my head and walked to rest near the waiting area.
I had my luggage which I had left in the reception. Finally Mr.Junior Wadhwa paid me a visit when I was looking at my watch for the third time. Why do I even expect him to be on time? Rolling my eyes I stood up to walk with my luggage. "Mine mine. You always kill me with this frown on your face" he leaned to me winking and I glared him back. "You know I have been thinking only about you from last night. You should wear such dresses more and if you ask me I would prefer you without anything" he smiled cockily and I looked up trying to control my bursting anger.
"Thanks for suggesting Mr. Wadhwa. I will buy something nice and of the same type in Paris so that I look elegant on my first date with your brother" I gave him a fake smile and saw his smile turning into a frown. "Now if you don't mind. The pilot is not gonna wait for us to take off. Shall we move?" I beckoned him and he still shocked moved and I followed him.
When we reached his car in the parking lot I was standing near the passenger door. I felt a drag and was pinned to the car in next moment and again Shikhar was towering me. I don't know how I get distracted by this height difference always.
"Why did you think that going on a date with my brother is a good idea?" he asked with his cold eyes looking straight into mine. "Why should I even need to answer to this?" I crossed my arms looking up at him. He moved away suddenly and looked around confused trying to come up with something to say. Pursing my lips in a thin line with one last look at him I sat in the car and waited for him.
He sat beside me finally and I knew he was trying to talk to me the whole journey. And while he glanced at me I felt uncomfortable under his gaze. And the atmosphere inside the car turned suffocating.
We arrived at the airport and completed the boarding procedure. While I was entering the flight he cornered me holding my elbow tightly. "What the hell?" I hissed looking around to check if someone was watching us. "Shikhar let go off me" I demanded.
"First tell me why are you going on a date with my brother?" he looked determined. "Any problem ma'am?" A flight attendant interrupted us and he left my hand and I nodded my head negatively smiling at her. Fortunately my seat was far away from his seat so I could relax. I don't know how am I going to handle this jerk for two more days.
It was already night when we landed in Paris and my eyes were drooping already due to the jet lag and I had a severe back pain due to the sleeping position in the flight. While I stretched my muscles walking out of the airport Shikhar stood beside me wearing his glasses.
Surprisingly he did not ask or speak anything. I some time feel he becomes totally different person in a short amount of time. From afternoon he was annoying me and now he is behaving like I don't even exist. Whatever. Let him be this because that will save me a lot of headache which I am not ready to tolerate along with the jet lag.
I saw him walking towards the exit and followed. I should have booked the place instead of listening to Shresht. I cursed myself for even accepting Shresht's offer.
Shikhar wasn't coming to attend this fashion show in Paris for the first time. This is one of his yearly activity but this time he had to take his manager along as the organizer wanted to review the contract. Shresht had warned me possibly they are trying to take back this contract due to Shikhar's image and I had to convince them not to do it. It was part of my job.
"Hello Henry" he greeted the driver who stood by the limousine saluting Shikhar. He opened the door and Shikhar stopped and moved away leaving me the place to climb in. I thought he will just embarrass me instead. "Hello Madame" Henry greeted me with a formal smile bowing a bit. I smiled at him and sat inside the limo and Shikhar got inside sitting in front of me.
He busied himself with his phone and I did the same. "Henry. Is the mansion ready?" when Shikhar asked this I was startled. "Yes Sir" Henry replied. "What?" I asked Shikhar who did not reply. "The mansion where you will stay Madame" Henry spoke.
I have to stay in Wadhwa mansion in Paris. I mean I did not even knew they had a mansion there. And I have to be with Mr. Play boy under the same roof for two days and three freaking nights? No this is not what I expected.
"Henry" I called him politely. "Could you please drop me near a hotel?" "Why a hotel?" Shikhar interrupted him and I rolled my eyes. "Do I need to share the reason why I don't want to be under the same roof as you?" I asked him and he pursed his lips in a thin line trying to contain his disappointment.
"I am sorry I did not wanted to sound rude but I am not comfortable with this" I apologized and he sighed. "Look. Paris is not like any other city and I am so sure you are going to be agitated by their culture. I mean no insult Henry" he looked at his French driver who nodded his head understanding.
"But I am sure nothing gonna agitate me more than the thought of staying with you" I looked down. I saw his muscles bulging in anger. "In that case I suggest you be in a safer place" he sternly spoke and I rubbed my shoulders hugging myself.
"But first Henry drop me to the mansion and then take Miss Singhal to her destination"
I felt shiver when I heard my surname roll out from his velvety voice. But I did not let him see that I was affected by this.
Henry pulled the limo in front of the huge beautiful mansion and Shikhar got out of it and he spoke to Henry something and I watched him suspiciously. Without even looking at me further he walked inside the mansion along with his luggage.
I dialed Shresht's number but I could not as I had forgotten to activate international roaming on my sim. I thought of calling him after reaching the hotel.
Henry stopped the limo in front of a hotel which was really elegant to look and I smiled at him thanking once got out. He smiled back with a formal salute.
Walking inside I found the reception and asked for a room. Their broken English was a bit difficult to understand but I had no choice as I hardly knew french. The lady smiled handing me the key and I asked her can I make a call and she showed me a booth nearby.
Resting my luggage near the reception I walked to the booth and dialed Shresht's number. He took a lot of time to answer may be it was early in the morning in India. But I cared less about it after he put me in such a situation.
"Hello" he spoke in his raspy voice and I have to snap out from my thoughts to speak to him. "Mr. Wadhwa?" I asked even when I knew it was him. "Ree?" he asked. "Yes" I spoke. "How can you even think that I will stay under the same roof as your brother?" I asked him furious.
"Wow.. Wait" he yawned and I guessed he sat up. The picture of him sitting on his bed with his sleepy eyes and scattered hair was really tempting. "Ree.. I thought it will be safe for you" he defended making me chuckle. "I mean seriously? You think I am safe anywhere around him?" I sarcastically replied. "God Ree. It's not the time I really like arguing but I know you are new to Paris and you would be safe if he was around. Don't react like I booked you both in the same room" I could feel his annoyance for waking him up so early in the morning.
"Whatever. I called you to inform that I have booked a place for myself and no thank you" I smirked. "Wait what?" he asked confused. "You heard me" I replied. "Ree. Listen. It's Paris okay and you won't be comfortable around there trust me. Just go back to the mansion or wait I will call Shikhar to pick you up. You are not staying in the hotel" he ordered. Who do he think he is?
"No Mr. Wadhwa. I have already booked the room and made the payment. Don't worry I will be on time to the venue. Paris isn't that bad" I twisted my lips. "To hell with your payment. Just cancel it and I will pay it in the invoice. Do what I say now" he said seriously and I was baffled.
"Bye Mr. Wadhwa. Thanks for making me feel I only care about the money" I moved the receiver back when I heard him call my name. But I had made up my mind.
Once I was out of the phone booth I walked towards the reception to grab my luggage and walked to the booked room. It was a comfortable room. I felt good when I lied on the bed relaxing. I don't know why did these two brothers were behaving that I was going to enter the lion's den not a hotel.
After changing myself into comfortable clothes I walked to the bed and sat on it and thought of ordering food when I heard someone banging the room door. I was startled and opened the door thinking some room service might have come.
But there was a man who was dripped in alcohol and looking at me confused. He asked me something in french which I guessed he was asking me who I am. I did not answer him. What would I answer I didn't know french to reply back.
He moved further scaring me and I walked back. He looked from down to top and smirked. I was getting wrong vibes. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked him and he didn't understood what I said and looked at me confused. "You Englis?" he asked and I nodded my head and he neared me dangerously. "What the hell?" I pushed him and he smirked walking towards me again.
He was about to grab me by my hand when his hand was held by someone. I found Shikhar fuming behind him glaring him. In my panic I didn't even know when he walked inside the room through the open door.
He spoke something to the man in French and called the hotel staff and they apologized to him. He looked very angry. And I guessed why he said it was a bad idea to stay in a hotel and why Shresht also was worried so much.
After everyone left he turned to me fuming. I grabbed my luggage not meeting his eyes and walked behind him. He handed the key to the receptionist and made the payment through his credit card for the canceling amount. I looked at him to resist. But his angry eyes discouraged me and I remained silent.
As I walked out behind him I found the limo there and Henry with his formal smile. I sat inside and Shikhar sat in front of me again. I didn't dare to speak to him further. Then something flashed in my head. "Did you purposely told Henry to drop me here? So that you can come like a savior?" I asked gathering a lot of courage.
He looked at me in disbelief. "You know what? I don't want to clarify to you" he snapped and looked out of the window and I felt guilty for no reason.
Once we arrived at the mansion Shikhar walked inside the mansion and I hesitantly moved out of the limo and Henry came to hold my luggage. "Madame" Henry spoke and I looked at him. "Sir told me to stay outside the hotel and wait for you. All the hotels here are same. Lonely women are considered ready" he said and I looked at him confused.
"Ready for anyone" he pursed his lips in a thin line and my eyes went wide. I sighed when I finally understood why Shresht was worried and Shikhar told Henry to wait there. "Monsieur had traveled in a taxi for the first time in his life to reach the hotel" he smiled at me and I felt dreading feel inside me.
How can I out of all people be so stupid and so blunt when it wasn't really required. I smiled back at him weakly and he beckoned to walk further inside the mansion and took my luggage to the guest room.
I saw Shikhar near the dining table and the guilt inside me only went on increasing. I stood near the dining room and found him arranging two plates.
As I was about to speak to him his phone ringed. He received the call. "Hmmm. I brought her back. And thank you for scolding me like a small child for her stupidity" he said without turning and I knew whom he was speaking to. "She is here. But I will tell her to call you from the landline she won't want my shadow to fall on her" he spoke hurt and I regretted for my behavior earlier.
I dropped my hand and started to walk towards the room Henry might have placed my luggage in. "You can eat the dinner here. I was taking my plate back to my room" Shikhar spoke coldly making me feel more worse about myself.
I turned on my heel and looked at him walking with his plate. I sat on the table and ate my food unwillingly. When I was drinking the water I remembered Shikhar had not taken the water with him. I couldn't have found a better way to initiate talk to him. Grabbing the water jug and a glass I moved to his room.
Shikhar was watching something on the TV and his eyes moved to me when I stood hesitantly at his door. His eyes shrank and moved to my hands which were holding the water jug and glass. He looked at the juice can he had placed on the side table and my shoulders dropped realizing how stupid I looked right now.
Feeling more embarrassed I was about to turn when I heard him. "I would need the water also" he said and I looked at him and the muscles on my face relaxed and I smiled weakly and walked inside his room and placed the jug on the side table along with the glass.
"Thank you" I looked at him while he was still staring at me. He just nodded his head. "Is that bad that to expect me to be concerned about someone?" he asked and I had no answer. "I am sorry but I..." I stuttered.
He placed the plate on the side table and stood facing me making me nervous with his height.
"I understand I have always made you uncomfortable but I don't know I have never done it but I was genuinely worried about you. But you refused to stay here and I couldn't force you for that. But then my brother called me all angry rebuking at me for letting you stay at a hotel. I tried to make him understand but he just didn't listen to me. I had no choice but to bring you back" he spoke calmly this time may be sensing my nervousness.
"I am sorry you had to go through all this. But I had no idea it will turn out this way" I looked apologetically. "He really cares about you" he first time smiled at me. And that made something within me break. I couldn't smile back that easily.
"Good night" I smiled at him. He nodded his head and I walked to the door feeling light. "And I did not let you speak to him because he was already cranky and you were scared" he said and I nodded my head walking out of the room.
I let out a deep sigh thanking god for saving me in that freaky night. It made me shiver when I thought what would have happened if Shikhar hadn't arrived on time. May be he was a playboy and used woman like clothes somewhere there was something good about him.
Why was my heart beating so fast suddenly?
***.***
"Adi.. I am really fine" I sighed when I tried convincing my boss next morning. "You know Mr. Wadhwa had come office directly in the morning and told me to activate the international roaming on your mobile and he was so angry for me being so careless. And I am really sorry that I forgot about it. But why have you forgotten that other sim?" he asked and I smiled. "I thought this number will be enough and you know I don't like distractions" I reasoned.
"He told me to postpone the meeting with Mr. William and book your return ticket. I tried to convince him politely that it was my company's commitment and he wasn't the one to take decision"
I chuckled hearing it. "You are laughing Ree. You know I was so scared when he barged directly inside my cabin. I alone know how I convinced him" he sighed making me giggle. "You better call him soon" he warned before disconnecting the call. I am so glad Adi is not typical judging person after what Shresht did. He respected my personal freedom though it effected his company.
As soon as I looked at the screen of my mobile it started flashing Shresht's name and I gulped in scared. I was really scared after my last night stunt to even hear his voice.
I kept staring at it without receiving. "If you don't answer and think avoiding his calls will make it easier when you land in India you have huge misconception. You are only worsening it"
I turned to Shikhar who walked to the dining table with his coffee. "I hope he will finish it off fast. I don't want us to be late to the show" I spoke looking at the screen. Gathering all my courage I moved the caller symbol up receiving his call.
"Oh my god" he sighed and I looked confused. "Who takes such a long time to contact back?" he asked a bit serious suppressing his anger with much difficulty.
"I was talking to my boss Mr. Wadhwa and I don't understand why did you paid him a visit with your such bad mood?" I tried to contain my annoyance. Shikhar looked at me worried choking on his coffee. I guess he wanted to tell me to calm down but I was in no mood to do so.
"Listen Ree" he spoke dangerously. "Ms. Singhal. We will be late. Henry told me that it will take a lot of time. There is a parade in the city square which might cause traffic" Shikhar acted as if shouting from far. I looked at him confused.
"I hope you will take my call when I call you for the first time" Shresht disconnected the call. And I stared Shikhar crossing my arms waiting for an explanation. "Nobody talks to Mr. Shresht Wadhwa in that tone when he is in his signature ballistic mood" he bent his head one side.
"And what makes you think I give a damn about his moods?" I asked him in disbelief. "You are one hell of a woman" he smiled moving to the freezer. "You haven't even gone on a single date with my brother and you got guts to upset him to the highest level knowing he might back off from all this?" he bit the apple looking at me.
"Like I care. He was the one who begged me for this date. I have survived so many years without a man and I think I can do the same for all my life. If he is so controlling it makes me more withdrawn" I held my head annoyed.
He served a pie in front of me. "You can't fight the day in empty stomach" he smiled and I chuckled. "What?" he asked confused.
"I can't believe you are being so sweet and supportive of me suddenly" I looked into his eyes. He rolled them moving away. "Your opinions about me are too much rotten" he sighed. "Can you blame me? You looked like you will kill me the moment I told you that I am going on a date with your brother and now you care that this date might be canceled?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"True. Because you don't know my brother" he shrugged his shoulder. I looked up at him with the spoon near my lips. "But now when I know he is serious about this I thought I shouldn't be a jerk but be a bit supportive" he sat in front of me.
"I am not interested in forming any relationship with your brother. It's just he designed that dress for me so as a gratitude I am going out with him" I munched the pie. "That dress was designed by him?" he asked shocked. "You don't live in the same mansion?" I asked in response.
"We do. But he is too secretive about his personal life. So much that I came to know him asking you out by you" he spoke and I nodded my head. "And you are the complete opposite of him" I smirked. "All thanks to me he looks well mannered" he said proud. I chuckled when I heard his theory which was similar to his brother.
"But I have never seen him so concerned about someone though" he looked carefully at me. It scared me for some unknown reason. "You know you are scaring me with all this?" I looked up at him. His eyebrows furrowed. "I don't want to be in such relationships this early or may be never" I looked down.
"Scared?" he asked and I glared him. "What do you think I am? I have lived all my life on my own and I love it this way" I spoke looking up. "I am just not ready to accommodate someone in my life which is so perfect" I smiled and found him looking at me placing his palm under his chin. "What?" I asked him.
"You really are something different. All my life I have met women who are either try to seduce my brother or when they fail they be on their toes to fall in my bed" he relaxed back.
"And here you are. Two Wadhwa brothers are trying to woe you and you are running away from them" he nodded his head with a smile.
"In that case I would offer how about you spend a night with me and make it clear to my brother that you aren't looking for any relationships" he suggested earning a death glare from me. I was so pissed that I threw the fork in my hand at him. "Ouch" he winced getting saved from it.
"And I was thinking deep down you are a gentleman" I huffed turning away. "Oh come on. You told you aren't interested in forming any relationship that makes you..."
"Available?" I looked at him angry. He twitched his lips agreeing. I pushed the plate aside and got up to leave. He held me by my shoulder but I did not turn back to look at him.
"It's just healthy approach. After spending so much time around you I have decided to be a bit polite with my approach" he confessed. I turned to him with a mocking smile.
"When I agreed to go on a date with your brother that eliminated the last possibility of me falling for you Mr. Wadhwa. I hope now you are clear about it" I moved out and he stood there watching me.
These two brothers are only annoying me more and more with each passing day.
Once I checked the time I walked out of the room and waited for Shikhar to arrive. When he descended the stairs I walked to the limo outside not willing to speak to him. But I forgot that I had to spend an hour in the limo with him which was difficult.
But he didn't speak the whole journey and I am thankful for that. I don't know how he senses that I am not ready to tolerate any of his talks at given times.
After half an hour of our arrival the show started and Shikhar was getting ready in the cabin assigned for him and I thought of talking to the organizers meanwhile.
I was happy to convince them about Shikhar's capability to promote their brand all over the world with the data I had collected. They handed me the extended contract and with that I walked to the back stage to share this with Shikhar which I regretted soon as I saw him snogging a French model. "Mr. Wadhwa" I walked to him furious. He sighed dragging himself away from the model. He winked at her and she walked away waving at him.
"What's your problem Ms. Saint?" he asked and I looked at him annoyed. "I am trying here everything to repair your image and all you're doing is spoiling it again?" I looked at him in disbelief. "That's your fucking job" he spoke a bit loudly and I looked around when people stared at us.
"Look I don't care how much you are trying to repair my image. But this is who I am and I can't change myself to honor your hard work. You want me not to hook up with a new girl every night then resign from this job. Because I am not gonna stop this" he looked dangerously nearing me.
"Fine" I sighed. "I just came here to tell you that I did my job and got an extension of your contract. Of course you don't care for..." I stopped from cursing because I was in the company I was going to speak about and I don't want anyone to think the contract is of my least concern.
"I will send the scanned copies to Mr. Wadhwa" I walked from there towards the audience and he rolled his eyes. He is such a pain.
Once the show was over I walked towards the limo. Henry was standing there worried. "Madame. Sir drove the car. He told me to go home" he looked at me apologetically. I fumed hearing him. "He was not alone was he?" I asked and he looked down and I understood why he left Henry here and forgot me.
How can someone be so impulsive. "Its okay Henry you go home. I will board a taxi" I dismissed him. He did not agree first then I can't make him wait for me when his shift was already over. I just asked him to help me with boarding the taxi and he complied. He guided the taxi driver who ignited the engine. I bid bye to Henry and the taxi moved in the direction of the mansion. My blood was boiling like anything.
After paying the taxi driver I walked to the mansion door and tried to open it. But it was locked. I banged on the door bell and banged on the door but there was no response. I looked around searching for the limo. But that wasn't there too.
I sighed when I realized he might have gone to the woman's place he earned a hook up with and the keys of the mansion are with him only. How pathetic? How cruel?
The night was really cold. I am not used to this type of weather and my coat was no where near to enough to protect me from cold. It was midnight when my phone ringed. It was Shresht. I so much wanted to talk to him but my teeth were grinding against each other and my hands were frozen.
With difficulty I received the call and said "Hello" shivering and hugging my coat more dearly. I don't even know for how much more time I had to wait outside the mansion for the jerk Wadhwa to arrive.
"Ree?" he asked and I tried to answer but no words came out of my throat. "Where are you?" he asked suspiciously. "I..." my body shivered when the cold breeze passed.
"I..." I stuttered not able to speak. The cold was literally hitting me with a hard rod which was really very cold. I only stuttered further.
"Why are you shivering?" he asked concerned. "Your brother." I finally gathered the heat to speak and my eyes started to build tears.
"That asshole made me stay out of the mansion while he went on a fucking spree with a model" I shivered again this time the heat in my stomach increased. But I wasn't sure he was hearing what I exactly spoke amid the cold wind. I wanted to scream I wanted to hit that bastard.
"Ree. I am not getting what you are talking" he said confused. " I will talk..." I gulped in. "tomorrow" I disconnected the call. I did not wanted to waste the little energy I had to fight the cold.
When I looked at the time it was 3 am and still I was freezing more and more. And I had no hope that I will see the sun that morning. My vision blurred and I was about to fall on the cold freezing ground when I felt warm hands holding me.
His cologne was enough to recognize that dumb ass. I tried to resist him but he lifted me in his arms. I couldn't see his face with my cold eye lashes which were dropping.
I was hitting him hard on the chest but with the energy I possessed right then I hardly think he was effected by it. My mind clogged with cold did not let me register anything. Last thing I know was I felt warm. And finally could breath. But his perfume was still hitting my nostril. I made a mental note that if I found his perfume bottle in my room when I wake up I will smack his head with the same bottle. But I wasn't sure I will remember all this when I open my eyes.
I felt like a baby sleeping in a swing covered with tons of blankets and slowly my fingers started to unfreeze and I felt better. I wanted it to be a nightmare and forget it as soon as I open my eyes. But this warm feeling is new and I don't want to let go of it.
Ever.
