BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114: Does she know about me?
114 Does she know about me?
"Are you out of your freaking mind? What the hell are you doing?", said Raymond and tried to pull her hand to make her get inside the car.
But she struggled to fight his force back and said,
"Please, Raymond let go of me".
Her eyes were pleading for mercy.
He released the grip that he had on her hand immediately. She was crying incessantly, her tears mixed with the drops of water and flowed down her cheeks like a flowing river, all perennial.
She was wet top to bottom. Her clothes clung to her curves and all the opaqueness that it had, reduced to translucency. He could see her tender pale skin, her shivering silhouette and her fast beating heart which caused her to heave. He couldn't stop himself seeing her in this condition.
"Can you just get inside?", Raymond asked gritting his teeth.
"No I don't want to", Akira said.
"Fine then", he said and leaned onto her, pushing her to make her body rest along with the car. He then removed his jacket and put it over her, shielding her from the torrential rain.
"Then stay like this", he said and moved even closer.
Even though it was cold, their warm breaths were heating up the whole atmosphere around them. She looked up at him with horror and then her eyes slightly fluttered. He moved his face even closer. Drops of water dripped from his nose and lips and chin and fell on her face. She couldn't understand what she could do to escape him. Her wild mind was racing at an exponential speed. He didn't even touch her but his mere presence was enough to drive her crazy and before she could know, she suddenly raised her hands and tugged his collar and pulled him close.
She looked into his eyes for a second and then gently touched his lips with her own.
Her lips quivered as she touched his. Seconds later he parted his lips trying to make every inch of lips wet. She tried to capture his taste for a moment, but she didn't realize when she got lost in his touch. But soon she detached herself as reality dawned upon her. She couldn't believe that she could do such a thing.
He was lost in her taste and suddenly she had detached herself from him. Before he could even understand what was happening, she had covered her mouth with her hand and was shaking her head in disbelief. His heart wasn't satisfied as he was craving for more.
He threw his jacket on the road and held her waist and pulled her close. As his hand grazed through her wet back, she knew instantly that things could go very wrong at that instant. He pulled her close and kissed the crevices of her neck. Another hand of his started tracing her thighs and she instantly whimpered.
"Don't touch me Raymond", she blurted out all of a sudden.
And he stopped.
He looked her in the eye and asked her,
"Tell me what do you want from me?"
She just looked up to him but didn't answer his question. She thought that probably staying silent was the best thing that she could do. But he couldn't bear her silence anymore and asked,
"One moment you kiss me and the next you don't want to like I am the most despicable entity on earth. Am I a toy to you Akira? Is that what I am to you? One moment you feel like playing with me and the other moment you don't?"
"I take you as a Toy? seriously? Is that all you can say after what we have been through. Am I so shallow to you?", Akira asked in pain.
"Then look into my eyes and hold my hand and tell me what your heart wants", Raymond said and moved closer.
"You want to know what my heart really wants? My heart wants you to be mine and only mine. I cannot share you with anyone, neither Scarlett nor your kid. I know it's your baby, but if you want a baby and a family then have it with me. Can't you? Can't you just leave her and come back to me and wipe her out of your life like she never existed in the first place. Can you Raymond?", she asked in one breath and looked deep into his eyes, trying to figure out his reaction.
"I know you can't. No one can. I know what my heart wants is selfish but you asked for it. So there you go, this is what my heart wants", she said and took a step back.
"What If I told you that's exactly what my heart wants too?", Raymond said, looking into her eyes.
"What are you saying?", Akira asked all confused.
"What I am saying is, I understand that the child is my responsibility and I want to support in any matter related to him from his birth to his education. But I don't want to and neither do I have any intention of getting back with Scarlett. We share only one relationship with each other right now, she is the mother of my child and that's totally platonic", he said and waited for an answer from her.
"So you don't love her?", she asked.
"No, not anymore", he said.
"Then why is she staying with you?", Akira asked.
"That because she still thinks I am in love with him and she feels that she has a right on my place. Well technically she does now as she is with my kid, but not in reality. I am planning to move her to a separate house and arrange for a proper house to help to take care of her and help her out.
"Did you...?", but then her question trailed off.
"What do you want to ask Akira ask me now. I don't want to carry any baggage around".
"Does she know about me?", Akira asked.
I guess not but I am going to rectify that today.
"Rectify? As in how?", Akira asked.
"You will find out soon", he said and opened his car door so that she could get in.
