Only You

Savior

Seeing her distressed trembling form tugged his hard so bad that he felt a slight stinging sensation there.

The lively smiling girl was not the one in his sight.

Many questions swirling in his mind, 
'What happened to her? What has she been through to cause her this much pain?'

And when he noticed the raging guards striding towards her, he without a thought got up from his seat, his sudden moment didn't only caught his partner's attention but this time Odile's attention too.

When their gazes collided, her body started to tremble even more.
And why wouldn't it, she was seeing those pretty grey eyes almost after five years, overwhelming feeling coursed through her veins.

Still, the guards were completely unfazed by it, their main focus was to get this little trembling though unthreatening intruder out of the polish place.

Just when they were about to grab her by her arm, came a deep commanding voice that caused their actions to halt and almost startling them.

"STOP".

Odile was still in daze just like him she was not able to believe that he was here out of all the places.
And to see the timings of their situation, she just wanted to laugh at her fate.

A cruel menacing laugh filled with brutal tears.

Not a second went by when she felt her feet carrying her towards the man, she missed in all those years.

With tears running down her face, her knees buckling beneath her feet at verge of collapsing.

But she still ran with all her might towards the tall proudly standing man.

Her heart knew that once she reached under his embrace she will be the safest, away from all the danger.

Seeing her advancing steps he too took long strides meeting her halfway, without any second thoughts, she threw her arms around his torso engulfing him into her embrace.

Trying to seek as much as warmth and safety possible.

Her body shook with each sob that escaped her.

Evander took a few seconds to really believe that she was real and really in his arms, they never got this intimate before.

Before neither he had courage nor confidence to pull such a stunt with the only girl who showed her genuine compassion towards her.

But now here she was hugging him like her life dependent on it.

His hands automatically went around her shaking frame, one resting on her head and the other around her waist,
feeling her trembling form, he stroked her hair soothingly and ran his hand up and down her back in order to calm her down.

He pulled her impossibly closer to himself living no space between them, trying to transform into one single entity.

She in return clenched his suit jacket between her fingers, the smooth yet rough texture giving her nerves some relaxing feels.

"Hey, hey.. Shhh..", his deep melodious voice reached her ears.

To which she sobbed even more, it felt like her tears had no bounds.
They seemed endless.

"I'm here, Odile. Right here", he kept on going trying to do anything to calm her racing heart.

"Shhh.. Calm down..."

"Take a deep breathe. Please for me".
he said and tried to take a look at her face but she was not letting herself go the grip on his jacket.

His hand stroking her now disheveled hair, now came down to stroke her cheek, slowly and gently lifting her face up.

He made her face him, taking a closer look at her tear drenched face which kept on coming on and on.

"Odile", the way he said her name made her breathe to hitch in her throat.
It was like a lullaby to her burning lonely heart.

"Breath with me. In and Out."
"Can you do that for me", his voice just above a whisper but she surely heard him though his voice as the moment went by stared sounding distant.

Odile gave a meek nod at Evander's gentle request.

Seeing Evander hugging
