The overwhelming desire to kiss .
*Thea .. thea ... theaaaa* Ani nudges Thea who had wrapped her arms and legs on Ani like the snake wraps his body around its meal .
Thea slept late in the light , continuesly thinking about the man and what if someone tries to break in their apartment.
Ani bites Thea's ears in attempt to wake her up ,
*wtf* groans Thea , finally leaving Ani she gets up moves and body and goes to the window . It was cloudy the sun was not visible ... just like Thea wanted ... her favorite wheather.....
*what about that hwat man ? Is he gonna leave today?* Ani asked with smirk
Thea moves her head a little bit .
*I need you to arrange a phone*
Ani hmms and gets out of the room to the kitchen.
After taking shower Thea comes out the room , she doesn't find Ani there , she looks in the kitchen and finds plates and butter on the platform. She steps towards Ani's room slowly.... she doesn't want to see the man but she wants to make sure Ani is fine .... Thea is an introvert she doesn't like socializing much .
She knocks on the door ....
*come in* Ani replies
The door opens and Thea peaks inside, just her head .... the man was on the bed and Ani was sitting on the chair near him with a cup of coffee.
* I kept your lunch in the kitchen did you eat ?*
Thea nods in no .
* I have asked for the phone , Nile will bring it *
Ani says .
* why Nile!* Thea complains
*bc earth is flat* Ani speaks
Thea shuts the door annoyed.
After some time Ani comes out of the room while Thea was working on her laptop near the window .
*what are you doing?* Ani questions
*counting starts * Thea says
Ani narrowed her eyes and kept her hand on her hips ...*fuck you* and walks away.
The doorknob again turns and the man comes out of the room , he looks at Thea emotionless ..
Thea speaks *come here* softly just the ways she handles her pretty patients in hospital..... you can't deny that he wasn't pretty... he deserved all love and care .... Thea thought but who was she to do so ..just a stranger.
The man walks to her and sits on the chair near Thea.
* I have booked the ticket it's tomorrow at 9 am*
The man nods . Thea opens the drawer and starts to clean his wounds again ...
*I'll pay you once I reach my place , just give me your bank account number * Dante finally says
Thea stops her movements and looks up for few seconds...
*you don't have to * she replied.
*No-* Thea cuts Dante's sentence
* I said no , I hope it's very much
audible and clear*
she glares at Dante
, and continues cleaning his wounds, she puts a small bandage on his nose and on other cuts .
Ani comes out the room and open the main door , after sometime she comes back with a box .
* here it is * she keeps the phone on the table.
And opens the drawer next her and takes out a small Sim card .
She arranges everything and gives it to Dante.
Dante takes the phone and dials the number and gets up to move in the room .
*he is not just someone ordinary* Ani utters
Ani was a wise lawyer and a on the top list of newly selected young lawyers .. it was not a difficult thing to read people.
Dante comes out of the room .
The day passed just like that and Thea is cooking in the kitchen while Ani and Dante are watching the TV .
Thea places the food on table on by one and calls both of them ..
* where do you live Dante?* Ani questions as she takes the spoon ...
* Boston*
*oh ohh my aunt lives there, and what do you do ?* Ani says
* my Dad's company , i take care of it *
*Thea is kind of boring if you are not close friends* Ani looks towards Dante.
Dante and Ani both looks at Thea and Thea looks at both of them as if she doesn't care or give a shit about what she just said .
There conversation was Interrupted by a bell , everyone stops the bell rings again and now it a thumping on door ..
Thea likes dark places so she keeps curtains closed and most of lights off so no one can see
Their heartbeat raising second by second...
Thea quickly takes her phone out and dials a number...
*someone's at my door , can you check ?*
Thea hmms in reply after the person on other call replies...
*I think you should hide-* before Ani could finish her sentence she heard another voice a female... a known female...
Thea tells Dante to hide in her washroom with Ani ..... and she goes to open the door ...
She finds lilac standing in front of a man
...* I'm a police officer, this is my house *
Lilac scolded the man showing her ID
*I'm sorry ma'am I just came to ask about the water leakage, ma'am has asked me*
He looks at Thea...
*it's fine now* Thea says
The man leaves, lilac enters the house.
Lilac calls Ani as she places her gun in the drawer near door... Thea hugs her , terrified and anxious , *what happened?* lilac questions.
*lord we thought it was our last day* Ani joins Thea and lilac .
*nothing* Thea said
*I'm tired AF , I'm going to sleep* lilac says and goes to thea's room .
Ani looks at Thea...*gotta tell her ?*
Thea shooks her head ....
************>_<********
Finally it's the day ... Thea can breathe properly once the man leaves .
Lilac had already left the apartment , she had work . Now Ani and Thea were preparing everything, Ani went to take her car . Thea and Dante leaving the apartment quickly.
*I hope no one saw us* Ani exhales
*someone might have* Thea says
Ani looks from the front mirror..
*now what?* she asks
*who got guts to ask me questions * Thea says checking outside the window.
Ani laughed nodding.
The car starts .... Thea didn't speak a single word for the whole ride . .. she was just looking outside the window.
*let's goooo* Ani says unlocking the car and stretched her arms
They search for the platform number , they reach to the train ... they had 10 mins
*it was really nice meeting you , if you ever need any kind of help from me you can contact*
Ani finally breaks the silence. Smiling... she was not scared as Thea who avoided eye contacts , it was just not In her habits .
*sure* Dante replies ,Smiling a little.
Oh God they way his eyes changed.
Ani's phone rings
*excuse me* she moves away from them.
Finally Dante moves in front of Thea , looking at her face , he smirks lightly .
*you are not gonna say anything?* he asked
*what if your man pops up on my door* Thea complains .
Dante's expression changes , now you could see him tense. He holds thea by shoulder .
*it will never happen* he answers .Thea looks up at him her eyes were watery she was trying to hold her tears ... what will people say she is crying bc a stranger is leaving?
Dante pulls her to his chest , dropping his head on her shoulder.
*it's my promise, you will never face any such situation In your whole life as long as I'm alive*
He speaks softly.
The train gives the alarm....
He pulls back and pecks her forehead and climbs up on the train .
Thea kept starring until the train disappeared.
