love drug

Chapter 8

The glistening moonlight crept through the flowy curtains of Reena's room. She laid in her bed, engulfed by her slumber. Her face held a little smile as she tightly hugged her pillow, her eyes still closed. Her voice was shallow but she whispered something that cut through the midnight silence. 

"Rocky.." 

Her lips took his name and the smile on her face grew. 

Rocky climbed through her balcony, his feet thumping on her floor, causing her head to dart towards the balcony door. She saw his figure through the white curtains and ran to open the door. She was welcomed by his warm smile and the gentle breeze of the wind. His eyes shamelessly wandered all over her body. Reena was wearing a black lace night dress that reached her mid thighs, her hair was swept over her shoulder, showing of her back. He began walking towards her so she began moving back until she was pinned to her bedroom wall. His eyes were filled with a new found lust. As his hands were about to touch her he stopped. His fingers traced the outline of her frame on the wall, almost caressing the lace material of her clothes. She closed her eyes feeling his hot breath on her neck. She lazily opened her eyes when she felt his breath move to her face, right in front of her lips. She gasped as he was now inches away from her. If she moved their lips would touch. 

"Rocky.." she called out. 

He leaned in and she once again closed her eyes waiting to feel his lips on hers.

Her eyes shot open as she jerked up. She felt the beads of sweat on her forehead. She could feel her cheeks heating up and she tapped her head before making her way to the bathroom. The moon was still out and the night was still young.

 She glanced at her wall clock that read 4:12 am. She splashed some water on her head and shook her head remembering her dream.

 'you just found out you love him Reena, and your thinking all this. what happened to shame girl' she thought.

 She walked over to the sofa and picked up his leather jacket that laid there. She caressed the leather material and brought it close to her chest hugging it. Her hands made its way to the pockets and she felt something cold inside. She pulled out a small crumpled paper and some sort of necklace. her eyes focused on the necklace. She remembers seeing him wear it whenever she saw him. 

'maybe he accidently left it in here when he gave it to me, I have to find him and give it back' she thought and brought her attention to the paper. 

Reena unravelled the paper and began reading what was inside.

To my dearest Chinna, the girl who owns my heart and soul

I know that my love for you may seem foolish to you or fake but I promise you Chinna, no person has ever won against me but you are the first to conquer me and my heart. I love you more than anything in this world. Time and distance might test me and the power of my love but I promise you it will never win. No matter how far I am, whether it is next door or on the other side of the world, my love for you will only ever increase with time. I am so sorry that I could not give you this letter in person but I want to tell you that the moment has come for me to fulfil my mother's promise. So for this I have to embark on a dangerous mission. I cannot say if I will return or not but I want you to know that you are the first, last and only person in my heart. I hope I was able to carve myself a stop in your heart. Keep the amulet as my promise. It is the only thing I have of my mother and I want it to be with someone meaningful. I would have tied it on you myself but I wanted the only thing I tie on you to be a thali. I will be thinking of you always. I love you killady.

From your ashiq...Rocky

She finished the last line and felt a sob escape her lips. Her vision was blurred with tears that threatened to shed. Reena hastily grabbed the amulet and tied it around her wrist. She held the letter close to her heart and began to cry, letting her tears flow freely out of her eyes. Her mellow cries where swallowed by the walls, the noise being unreachable outside her room. Before she knew it, it was morning and she was still in the same spot. Her face was now red and swollen due to the crying and her cheeks were stained with tears.
