Chapter 22: chapter 22

Last night,        I waited outside her apartment. What she said is true, she is a xerox copy of her Mother. But their personality is completely in contrast to each other. My phone rang, it's Mother.I smirked and answered it, "Yes, Mother?""What did you say to Ms Parker?" Her voice was filled with irritation."What?" I played it cool, "You asked me to Date her. I asked her out, she rejected it"."Then?""Then what, I told her she must come with me. It's my parent's order, they want us to marry and you need to give birth to their grandchildren. That's it...I did what you asked. Don't blame me for her rejection"."Oh...Christopher" she snickered, "I see what you did there" her voice now filled with sarcasm, "Right, you did what I asked. Now wait for my move"."With pleasure, Mrs Rovan" I smiled, "Eagerly waiting for it".She cleared her throat, "Let me give you a hint, my next move is do with that...what's her name...uff...she's not even worth of remembering her name...yeah...the Magazine girl...yes she only..."My smile disappeared, "I swear if you touch Ana...I'll...""Blah...blah...Don't be dramatic...just prepare yourself for next move" she hung up saying that.At the same time, the apartment door opened. Grace came out wearing her handbag. I went near her, "So, you guys finished?""Mmm-hmm...Chris...""Call me Rovan" I corrected her, "I don't like when a stranger calls me Chris. Sorry, I forgot to mention earlier"."Fine, Rovan" she rolled her eyes, "Tell her, what she is missing in her life"."What she is missing?" I crossed my arms.She sighed, "Ugh...you know the rich stuff...Cars...money...fame...""You cannot stay in hell for that" I looked at her intently."Listen, what she told you is not true. She is imagining that...she wants to...""Stop!" I slapped the wall before her. She jumped out of shock and looked at me with a shock. I continued, "What I saw in her eyes was true...that hurt, that sadness, that pain. As a Mother, you failed. So, don't make it worse by bitching about her. I'm pretty sure even now you came here for a purpose. I hope Ana is good inside, otherwise..." I sighed and closed my eyes, "Get out of my sight".She moved away from me and disappeared into the hallway. I opened the door of the apartment and came inside. She was sitting near the coffee table.I crouched down and touched her shoulders, "Ana, you okay?"She turned to face me and giggled, "I'm fine, but I don't wike it here...sorry...like it".I looked beside her, an empty wine bottle is on the floor. I bought my eyes back to her, "Ana, you drunk?"She made a confused face, "Am I?" Her voice came out squeaky, "Maybe" she laughed and a hiccup followed.Okay, she is drunk. Something bad happened."Ana, why don't we stand up?"She shrugged, "Sure".I helped her to stand up, she was unsteady, "Ana...why don't we go to your bedroom and sleep?"She squinted her eyes and winked, "Oh...you and me? I like it" she came near me played with the button of my coat."No...No..." I pushed her gently away from me, "No...No...I didn't mean that"."Then, what do you mean?" She wrapped her arms around my neck."I...I...mean...you should sleep alone"."Ugh...that's boring" she moved away, "I'm...I'm...fed up with everything in my life...I'm...I'm gonna enjoy the night...I don't wike here...I'm going out and dance wike a crazy" she headed towards the door.I came in front of her and stopped it, "No, you are not going anywhere"."I am" she pushed me, "Move...out...of my way" she shouted.She tried to push me aside, like a child moving a wall. I stood like a pillar with my crossed arms. After minutes of trying, she sighed, "God! You are super strong. I give up"."Good, now I want you to go to the bed"."Fine" she hiccuped and turned to walk towards her room. I followed her, in a midway within a blink she ran towards the door, "Ana! No!" I shouted and ran to catch her. Fuck! How the hell is she so fast?She giggled and hiccuped reaching the doorknob and opened the door. When she tried to step out, I caught the collar of her T-shirt. She struggled to release from my clutches, "Leave me...Chris..."I pulled her back inside, took her in my arms and placed her on my shoulders, "Leave me...you Idiot!" She flipped her hands and legs rapidly. God! She is so light to carry.I threw her on the bed and locked the door."Ouch!" She moaned, "Christopher...."She saw I'm closing the door. I removed my coat and threw it on the study chair.She laughed, "Oh...you are getting other ideas?" She licked her lips, "I'm ready for that toooo!" She tried to remove her top."Ana! Wait!" I stopped her, "No, we are not doing anything. You are not in your sense, then you'll feel tomorrow"."No...I won't" she shrugged.I stood near the side of her bed. After a second, she inched near me and kneeled on the bed. She placed her hands on my chest, "I won't regret it, I like you. I want to try this with you".My heart started to beat out of my chest. Is she speaking the truth? She really wants to try with me...? No...No...No...Chris...she is not in her sense. Don't take advantage of her!She slowly ran her hands on my neck. My skin started to shiver in goosebumps, because of her touch. I never felt this with anyone. My breath became heavy with her touch. No! No! No! I said No!I find myself difficult to breathe. Finally, she stopped near my cheeks. Her blue eyes were covered with lust and she swallowed hard, "Why, don't we start with a kiss?" She brought her lips towards mine.To be frank, I lost my willpower for a minute in that. I was pulled towards those red lips and I'm ready to kiss. Then my sense shouted somewhere from my brain to stop this madness. I opened my eyes and moved my head away from her, "No...No...Ana...Stop!"She growled, "But...why? You don't like me?" She made her puppy eyes."No...No...I like you too. You are the most beautiful woman both inside and outside, I ever met" I stroked her cheeks, "But...this is not the right way to do that...we should...we should start it, when...when...we are umm..." I struggled for words, "When we both are in sense...I don't want to rush things. Please, understand, my sweetheart" I kissed her forehead.She moved away from me and sat on the bed. I sat near her. After minutes of silence, she spoke, "You are right" her eyes glassed a bit. She wrapped my arms in her hands and placed her head on my shoulders, "Do you know why she came back here?""Why?" I asked touching her hands."To bring me back there. So that, she can be free from him" tears rolled down from her eyes.I got shocked. Fuck! What kind of lady she is? She is now officially a Bitch. I should slapped her, instead the wall."And...what did you do?" I asked grinding my teeth."I...I...asked her...to get out" her voice choked in sadness. She raised her head from my shoulder and looked at me, "How can she be this cruel to me? What did I ever do to her?""If you want, I'll kill her".That bought a little smile to her face. I touched my forehead with her's, "I won't let anyone to take you away from me and you can't even escape even if you wish. Cause, you became an important part of my life".Now her lips twitched into a full smile, "I can say the same".We remained in that position for a minute. Suddenly, her face twitched and panicked, "Oh! God! Chris..." She closed her mouth and ran to the sink. She vomited both on her dress and sink. I rubbed her back gently and pulled her hair behind from her face. After few seconds, she raised up gasping for air, "Oh! Shit! My dress"."I'll help you, wait" I helped to wash her face and dress. All the time she eyed me, "Why the hell you are a gentleman with me?"I looked at her. She continued, "I mean...you've been an asshole to girls. But why me?""Because, you and I are one" I pinched the bridge of her nose, "No difference. We've been hurt since our childhood...and also..."No! Chris! This is not the right time to say it. Wait! Until she becomes sober."Also?""Umm...nothing...You understand what I feel" I smiled.She smiled back, "You don't want us to make out. I'll agree to that, only on one condition"."What?""Give me your shirt. I'll sleep with that and I won't disturb you"."Ana...""Please for me" she made her puppy eyes."Fine" I removed my shirt and gave it to her. She went inside to wear it.I came out in my white undershirt. Months back, if any girl touched my shirt, I'll make them to feel sorry for that. But now? What happened to me?Ana, you are doing something to me. She came out wearing my shirt, no bottoms."Can we sleep now?" I asked looking at her face. If I look down, I'll lose my shit.She chuckled heartily. That smile, Damn smile makes me do anything for her.I removed my shoes and went towards the couch."Chris" she called me. I looked back."Umm...please sleep near me" she said looking down.We lay down on the bed. This time, she was close to me snuggling inside my hand. I kissed her head."I like you" she mumbled in her sleep and buried her face on my chest.I was happy. At the same time, I was scared that this will vanish away from me suddenly. I closed my eyes, inhaling her scent. For now, we are good, that's enough for me.Present,    "Chris, I'm so sorry" I apologized to him, "I was not in my sense...shit!" I cursed myself, "I made it awkward, am I?" I gave my innocent look to him.He laughed aloud, showing his white teeth, "Look at your face, omg!" I looked at him with confusion.After a minute he stopped laughing, "I'm sorry...but nothing...happened between us"."Really?"He nodded, still smiling.I punched his chest, "You idiot! I was scared. Stupid!" I let out a breath finally."Sorry...sorry...I was just kidding" he raised his arms in the air.He stood up and grabbed his watch from the night lamp table, wrapping it on his wrist he asked me, "Now, can you give back my shirt?""Oh! Wait! I'm sorry. What happened actually? Why am I in your shirt?" I went inside the bathroom."Well, what happened is you want to go out in that state. I stopped you, so we made a deal. You asked me to give my shirt and sleep near you and I did it" He explained.Fuck! I am the one to take advantage of him. I slapped my forehead in shame."I'm so sorry, Chris"."Don't be. I will be worst than this if I'm high".I came out changing my clothes and gave his shirt back. He wore it and asked, "Listen, are you free today? I need to say really an important thing to you"."Hope that is not about yesterday's night?""No" he chuckled, "But something important"."Hmm..." I gave a thought for a second, "Okay, but...you need to hang out with me the entire day"."Okay, I'll do"."Not as Christopher Rovan. You are coming with me as, Chris. Deal?"
