Chapter - 6, small gift

KAENA POV:-

The night went out pretty fast. We had our dinner and some of the buyers bought some paintings which also included some of mom's painting as well, she drank a lot for celebration

"I will come back from the washroom" I said while placing my glass of soft drink on the table

"Should I come with you?" Naven asked worried

"No it's fine I can manage " he nodded as I went off. I asked for directions of the washroom from a waiter and went to that direction he showed

I could feel something on my back as if someone was watching me like a hawk. I glanced back only to find myself alone in the pathway. I shrugged the feeling of being watched and walked towards the washroom.

After finishing my buisness, I was retidying myself as the light suddenly went off. I panicked.

I hate dark places, it is a nightmare for me. I feel my breathing escalate as the time passes. I was shaking badly, my hands already sweating

Instantly I felt someone pulling me into a warm embrace. The hard warm chest made me panic more

What if he is a pervert? What if he tries to take advantage of me? Oh god not now please!

"Shhh" his soothing voice cooed in my ear. It made my heart slowly calm down, my trembling started to calm down slowly

But strangely the deep male voice seemed familiar, the cologne smelled the same that I smelled a moment ago while watching the painting.

Smell of cigar and leather

He slowly started to brush my hair on my back and started to draw patterns on my back as well

I rested my head on his chest, feeling relaxed. I was afraid and I needed a bit of comfort. I needed distraction from this dark and gloomy place and right now there is nothing in my mind about why a man is in a ladies washroom ,hugging me.

I felt him smelling me on my neck. I frowned but words were not able to get out of my lips. I was stuck. All of a sudden he let go of me and I heard the bathroom door open and close again

Immediately the lights turned on. It felt strange, the man suddenly came inside just the moment the lights were out and when he was gone the lights immediately came back

Shrugging the thought I took my purse and left the washroom. I can think about this later. First of all I need to join my family. I can only feel safe when I am with them. While on my way to the main hall a waiter stopped me on my track

"Ma'am a man told me to give you this" she forwarded me a white folded paper

Confused I took the paper and before I could ask her further questions she was gone. I slowly opened the rolled paper which was tied with a tiny thin rope. My eyes widened when I saw the contents of the letter.

My heart was beating faster in my ribcage, threatening to fall out, my stomach falling into a pit. I felt like vomiting from all the adrenaline rush

"We will meet soon little cat. You smell just divine as you always did, even more than before "

It was a small sentence but enough to throw me down a cliff. My hand shaked  furiously

'Was he here? Was he watching me all this time?Did he knew about me all along?'

Thousands of thoughts filtered my mind, making me oblivious about my surroundings. A sudden loud voice made me jolt from my thoughts. I looked up meeting a worried waiter's concerning eyes
