If Only

Chapter 03

NOTE: CONTAINS TRIGGERING DREAMS

(Isha POV)

I am damn sure that the man infront of me is not sane. Does he think I can't do anything just because he is double the size of me? Even though, he should know by now that I am strong by the way I pinned him against the wall and held him on chokehold.

"Do not make me hurt you. Why the hell are you following me?", I asked anger taking the best of me.

"God, bloom. Your icy cold touch has become my favorite recently", he said. 

Is he for real?

I turned him towards the wall, by twisting his hand. Thanks to all the years of practice in martial arts. 

"You take me for a joke, don't you?", I said holding him in the position. There might be a scratch on his fine cheekbone with the pressure I am using. 

"You forgot who I am?", he said. 

With that being said, our positions were swapped. Now, I was the one to be held. Unlike me his grip on my wrists are gentle, he held both of my wrists in one hand while the other covered the back of my head like he doesn't want me to get hurt.

I saw his face clearly. Ocean blue eyes, pale skin,a scratch on his cheekbone, sharp jawline, messed up blonde locks falling on his eyebrows. Wait, he is the same guy from the parking lot. My eyes grew wide. 

"I came for you, bloom", he whispered in my ear closing the distance. 

I regret taking the less crowded road today. It's almost dark, the only light is from the street light at the far end. Bravo, Isha. You never really take a single proper decision, do you?

"I craved that touch of yours, that worried look, and those damn eyes. How can someone have such magnificent eyes that are enough to tell what that person is thinking? ", he said breathing out a sigh as if he is controlling his actions and emotions.

I formed my hand into a fist, and pushed him with all my might to make sure his body isn't touching mine. God, I guess I should join weightlifting or gym.

"Why did you come for me, Mr. Stalker?", I asked emphasizing the last words, my anger building within me.

 "Isn't it obvious? I like you", he admitted.

No beating around the bush. No formal approaching. And stalks me everywhere, flirts while he is in chokehold and admits he likes me.

"And you are telling me this by following me in secret like a stalker, I mean you are one. Also, on that note weren't you the one who stalked me at the cafe too. With these wonderful activities of yours I ain't falling for you, nor do I have minimum interest in you. I ain't a hopeless romantic who falls for their stalker", I said and gasped for air. 

"The tongue of yours is pretty fast, don't you think?", he said grinning. 

And that is enough for me to lose my cool. I punched him in the stomach with great force which made him to bend, I hit his nose with my knee to which he stood and kicked him with my iconic side kick in his stomach. My moves fast, so he didn't get a gap to regain his composure. 

I ran to my dorm. Thankfully it is just in the next street. I didn't dare to turn my head back and ran like there is no tomorrow. I reached my room and closed the door behind me. I took a warm shower to calm down. I pulled my phone from my bag and opened the girls chatroom and told them what happened. 

I assured them that I reached safely, thanks to my self-defense. I always thought it would be useful since I was a kid, the only good decision I took. Dia said she would be staying with her parents until they go back to their hometown. Anya and Nivi will probably be late since they are at the library to complete some research for their presentation tomorrow.
