I flinched at the curse that slipped
out of his mouth as she noticed his traits
moulding into a state of panic caused by
the sudden knock.

He dislodged his hand off the wall and his body jerked back; the heat of his closeness and the lethality of his stare leaving me for a moment

My gaze fell on the harsh movement of his teeth sinking into his lower lip, which i noticed, was slightly battered like he had been hurt hard.

Impatient fingers tapped on the door again with more force this time and the sound

Sami-resounded in the room.

Me-Could this night get any more... eventful?

Sami mentally groaned, bringing his vision back to me

Sami- go!!

I was just looking at him with out a blink

Sami- hello?rush!! Here?

Me- o ha ? Yes ? Wait what?

Sami - the door!!

Me - oh yeah the door !! WAIT THE DOOR? OH SHIT WHAT IF ITS THOSE TOXIC AUNTIES!!!!! THEY SHOULD NOT SEE US TOGETHER  !!! REUMORES THING YOU KNOW!!!!!!!

Sami - cool down compose your self and go open the door!! (In a icy voice ) and who ever is there don't let them feel there  is another person in this room and make them leave quickly

Me- what are you saying how can I do that ?

Sami - (groaning in pain) i don't care how you do it just do it!!

I gathered my scattered wits and
decided to oblige because i didn't know
what else to do. Whoever the person was at the door, it was in  my best interest to make them leave. I slowly nodded my head,earning space to breathe from him as he Took a step back.

"Ill just.." he trailed, looking around the
room and then pointing at the backside of a large wooden cupboard, "hide there."

He said me  to go and traipsed to
the spot while i took a deep breath,
steadying myself.  Tucking up my dress heavy steps carried me towards the door; heart uttering desperate
prayers to Allah to get her out of this mess.

A sheen of sweat broke on her forehead
as her shaky hand turned the door handle with her breath stuck in her throat and
opening it, she tensely peeked out.

"Rush "

I breathed annoyed at the sight
of two wildly overdressed, middle-aged
women staring back at me. The two
aunties standing before me were my far
relatives i had only met twice in my life.

"Assalam o alikum." I smiled,

"Walakum assalam "

1st aunty -Hum tumhe dekne aaye the

2nd aunty- what are you doing here ? And why is the door locked ??

I cleared my throat, "Uh... I-I don't
know, I didn't lock it."
They both made a twisted face before the
other took a step forward, attempting to
enter inside but I quickly blocked her
path with frame standing in between,

Myhand gripping the door handle tightly.

"Aap ne d-dekh liya na mjhe? Now you can go," i said,

"At least let us come inside and sit with
you for a while!" Auntie number two
exclaimed,
looking at my incredulously.

Me- "You can't sit with me."

Aunty - "Aray leken-"

Me- "]ust leave, please. Go!" 

I almost yelled but i didn't care..

The two women raked her with
disparaging eyes, rightfully offended by my blatant display of disrespect they turned around and rewarding me with curt badtameez ladki !!

As if I even care lol ..

I singed closing my eyes for a sec and closed my eyes i turned around as my eyes clashed with him again

Sami- lock the door
( with a icy voice promoting her to immediately comply)
I was worried i thought you would pass out before opening the door but that was a quit nice act tho!!

Rush - he he thnx !!

Sami-stop showing your teeth nothing so funny!!

Rush - looks like some wants to die soon

Sami - "Yeah well, that's very clos to happing if I leave this wound unattended for any more time

" He took off his leather jacket, the movement inflaming the throbbing
pain and making him wheeze.He unfastened the first two buttons of his
jet-black shirt, revealing the ragged gash
underneath his left collarbone; the crimson liquid saturating his shirt.

I grimaced at the unpleasant view;

A tingle of sympathy rising within me, He must've been in so much pain.

Sami -"Do you have a first aid kit?"

Me -"I don't live here." I deadpanned.

Sami -"There must be something here I can treat this bloody thing with?"
( he grunted)

My eyes narrowed before her shoulders
sulked and a defeated sigh fled her lips. i think i should help him!!

But i couldn't help it.

Not when he sat there with a tormented
expression on his face and looked at me
like that.
