Chapter-50

"Did you find anything?"

I ask him the same question again. My face resting on my palms, as my head lolls out of the window.

"Yeah, coolant leak."

He says as he puts his hands on his waist.

My god does he look sexy.

He has taken off his blazer, his sleeves are rolled up till his arms and his shirt is haphazardly hanging out of his pants.

His hair is a mess but still glorious.

His hands dirty as he puts them on his waist and bites his lips looking dubiously on the engine of the car.

Suddenly being stranded alone with him in a dark forest inside of a broken car doesn't feel so bad.

In fact the way my eyes are ogling the veins of his hand I seem to quite enjoy it.

He on the other hand is worried as hell, since the car broke down.

When he turned the steering wheel, the car turned towards the forest. Due the high acceleration of the car and the sloppy path, the speed increased. We almost even crashed into a tree but he pulled the hand brake and pushed the brake real hard.

I was pretty relaxed and de-stressed the whole time but he looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown.

He tried to start the car but it broke down. He got down immediately, prohibited me to get down and has been doing some witchy shit with the engine since then.

"Well explain in simple words."

I don't give a damn about what happened. I just want him to speak about this car stuff.

"Antifreeze, coolant, or oil can leak out can cause the engine to overheat and can even lead to engine failure or a fire."

He looks hot when he teaches me something.

I am almost tempted to say

Should I take my panties off professor?

They are already off.

I remind myself of the adultery we both did just before this car situation.

"So the car is going to catch a fire and you are still making me sit inside."

I ask knowing very well that it won't happen if we won't start the car.

I just ask to tease him.

"No nothing of that sort is going to happen until we don't turn the engine on."

He explains with an appalling expression like I should be ashamed for even thinking that he would put me in such situation.

"Well now I don't trust you enough as you hid this pivtol information from me."

I say and open the car door to get down.

"Kuhu, don't come down, it's a forest you don't know what bugs are down there. They can bite you."

I ignore him and get down.

I come around, near him and peek on the engine. How does he even know what's going on?

"Kuhu, sweetheart please it's night and this forest is very dense. You don't know what animal might be hiding in plain sight."

"Nice try to scare me Mr Accardo but Mr vitalli in today's dinner told me how much safe this forest is and tourists usually come here for camping."

He looks taken aback by my recital about the forest being a hit among tourists due to it's safety.

"Yeah, that is true that there are not big predators like lion and tiger found but that doesn't mean you won't encounter a fox or a jackal."

He says trying to proof his point.

"In that case, I have my own tiger to fight those animals."

I say eyeing him up and down.

A proud smirks rests on his face while he grabs me by my waist and pulls me towards him.

"This tiger of your's is prolific in many other aspects too, not just fighting."

He says as he leans and fake roars.

I giggle and tell him

"And how would I know that?"

I say while unbuttoning his shirt's first two buttons.

He puts his hand on my shoulder toying with the strap of my dress.

"Well, you would know soon enough if those boobs keep enticing me to devour them."

I laugh and say

"Oh, so they are enticing you."

"So much so that I am willing to risk...

He is cut off by the sound of his phone ringing.

He immediately pulls out the phone from his pocket and let's go of me.

While he was fixing and looking over the car he had me try to call almost every single number in my dial list.

But due to the poor signal here, none of them connected.

"Hello luca?"

He asks over the phone.

And I listen intently hoping finally we'll be back at home.

"Fratello, hello."

"Yes, yes luca. Hello."

He almost yells into his phone.

"Hello, hello."

Luca says on the other side.

"Damn it."

He groans in frustration.

"Hello, fratello."

These were the last words before the line went silent.

"Fuck this shit."

He curses in annoyance and I see that the signal is gone in his phone too.

"What are going to do now?"

I ask him

"Hope that they start finding us now so that we would be able to reach home

tomorrow."

He replies

"Why don't we just follow the car tyres marks and find our way back to highway."

"Sweetheart we were going at a speed of 200kmph, that 3.33 kms per minute. Before the car went out of control time was about 1:00 and after we ended in this forest the time was 01:25. So that's...

"83.33 kms we got to walk. Got it."

I cut him as even picturing myself walking 10 km in this dress is unbecoming.

"So, what we stay here and never see face of another human beside each other's?"

I ask

"That sounds quite good to me."

He says as if it's a good prospect.

"Shut up. I am not joking and please tell me what do we do now?"

I question.

"Nothing just wait. Angleo knows that we should have been home by this time and I think he would wait another few hours, after that he will start looking out for us.

It's most likely that they would find us by the morning. So don't worry."

"Means you have been in this type of situation before."

I ask

"Yeah, one time I somehow got stuck on an iceberg in antartica."

He reiterates

"Don't bluff."

I say as I lightly hit him on his shoulder

He looks back at me with no bullshit expression.

"You really did?"

He nods

"What were you even doing in antartica?"

I ask absolutely flabbergasted

"Ah! Nothing just completing an assignment my father gave me."

He says a bit somberly.

Sensing the mood of the conversation dipping, I say

"One time I also got lost."

I get his attention as I continue telling him.

"I was 18, just had joined my medical college. New city, new people.

I lost my way."

"Then? What happened? How did you get back?"

"I got myself arrested."

"What?"

He exclaims astonished.

"Yea, actually I had crossed over to the dangerous part of the city.

Guns hippies drugs.

It was a night I would have most likely been murdered or raped."

"Then?"

"Then I acted like I am part of the city. I acted like a drug dealer hippie. I went out to the busiest part where there will still cameras working and which was under jurisdiction."

"Still not sure if it was safe to reach out to someone for help so caught myself selling weed on a camera.

And you know New-york police works fast."

"Woah, you are no less than a hero."

He looks at me with inspiration.

I laugh and say

"Well, I was crazy back then."

"Then what happened to you. You know, now you look so tamed. Nobody would have guessed that you did all that. You are goody two shoes now."

"It's just the tip of the iceberg sir."

I say with haughtiness

"What? You have done more crazy stuff."

He asks excitedly like a puppy.

"Once a professor named Harold tried to harass me.

I reached out to my other professor Nigel and he instead of supporting me told me that I should give in and should have sex with him."

"Son of a bitch."

He says with anger.

"The next day I delivered red panties, ski mask and lubricant at harold's home with a message saying

Wear them tonight and oil up.

-xoxo Nigel."

"What the fuck kuhu?"

He looks at me and laughs hysterical.

"Then her wife found the box. She filed for a divorce and the whole university deemed both Nigel and Harold as gay who fuck with ski mask on."

I smirk

"I am turned on, sweetheart."

"Shit, you were a force to reckon back then. I didn't know you had it in you to do all that."

He looks at me with an amazed expression.

"You have no idea how bad I was back then."

I lean in and say seductively.

He pulls me towards him and says

"I have every intention of knowing how bad you were."

He eyes my lips while saying.

"There are 2 rules Mr Accardo"

I say while fixing the collar if his shirt.

"I am all ears."

He says smitten by me.

"One:Never fuck with kuhu oberoi."

"Two:Just follow rule one."

I fix the buttons of his shirt which I opened previously and button them back.

"Oh, I am in trouble because I have every intention of fucking you, Miss Oberoi."

He leans in to kiss.

I laugh and lean in making it seem like I was about to kiss him. But as his lips touch mine, I bite his lips hard.

Not too hard to bleed but hard enough to hurt.

"Fuck."

He yelps back and looks at me with betrayal and astonishment.

I just chortle seeing him amused.

"You are a brat."

He says lightly laughing at my antics.

"I told you I was."

I tell him proudly.

"Then what happened to you now?"

He asks almost dejected that I am not creating havoc now.

"Nothing happened. Just you slow down with time. That shit don't give you that high anymore."

"And trust me I have that in me plenty it's just that now I have people I have to take care of."

"Earlier I was alone. Noone to question me, noone to hold me accountable."

"You mean noone to take care of you, noone to ask you about your well being."

"You do all that so that you could get the love and attention even if it's in the form of punishment."

He says and I see the look in his eyes. The one I despise the most.

Pity.

"Don't look at me like that I had plenty of my mother's love and attention. I think it's more than enough to last me a lifetime."

I say and he nods.

"So are we going to stand here and talk or we will find a suitable place to take shelter under."

I turn the topic of conversation as the wind turn chilly and the clouds rumble.

"Yes, see that."

He says and points finger to his right.

"A hut."

"Yes, as you said this is a very popular place among tourists for camping. So these huts are build at every 50 kms by the tourists as they want to experience of living in wilderness."

"When did you even saw that hut?"

I ask

"Pretty much when I set foot out of car."

He shrugs

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

I ask the obvious

"Well I wanted to test out my chances with the car. But it's not going to work and we have to wait until morning. So let's go and take shelter there until then."

"Now that my majesty have decided to proceed. Shall we?"

I lay my hands in front gesturing him to walk ahead.

He grabs my hand and makes me walk alongside him.

We both walk for sometime and I look up at the sky to see the clouds thundering.

"It looked pretty close but it's so far."

I say mentioning the hut.

"Just few more minutes and we will be there."

He reassures me.

I feel a drop of water hit my head, followed by another and soon the pittar patter sound of the rain resonates in my ear as we both get drenched.

"Shit"

"Kuhu walk fast or else you'll catch a cold."

Lorenzo says worrying about me.

"Lorenzo stop."

I make him come to a halt.

"What happened?"

He asks

"It's raining."

"I know that but what happened?"

He ask puzzled

"That means we need to stop right here and enjoy it."

I say as it downpours drenching us fully in the rain.

"No kuhu. You'll get sick. Let's go."

He says but I let go of his hand.

"It's a crime to not let a lady enjoy the rain so stop and let me feel it in my bones."

I say and spread both my arms out, tilting my head back as I close my eyes feeling the cold raindrops hitting me.

"You know what you are crazy but you are my crazy. So I guess let's enjoy the rain."

Lorenzo says as he pushes back his wet hair with his hand.

Smooth.

I think to myself as I see the shirt clung to his skin making his toned chest and abs visible.

And as I am ogling him, he picks me up by waist and turns in circles.

The sound of my laugh along with that of rain falling reverberates as he finally let's me down.

We both smile and look and each other, our eyes filled with glee. I wind my arms around his neck and humm a familiar tone.

Soon the song ensues the tone.
