TALES OF TWO CULTURE

11. Boxing

[SONAKSHI'S POV]

Serena punch snapped my head back with a force, when my vision cleared, her frown came into my ear like a mosquito.

"That was an easy fight, where's your head today"

"It was just a fucking one hit don't get dramatic"

"four" she grunted when my uppercut caught her

"I kissed alexander" we'd done more that but I sure as fuck not going to discuss my sex life with serena, my boxing partner

we both were rival; I have met her during my fight illegal mma match. From that day we've been friends, she was a good friend of mine, her body was covered in tattoos. She is also a drug dealer.

Serana gave me a strange look "you kissed your soon-to-be husband so what?"

Fuck. The kiss and everything had screwed me up, our engagement was a business, but most arrange marriage still involved physical interaction before the wedding. If not sex, then at least a simple kiss.

"It was so fucking different from last time" I shouldn't have let him do anything more than a simple kiss. But yet I did anyways

Somehow, alexander digged in my skin, and I didn't know how to get him out.

"It was just a kiss don't think about that much" it was not just a simple kiss.

"My head is screwed up" I poured the water on my head

"Mixing business with pleasure isn't that bad"

"Look who's talking" I never liked mixing my business and physical intimacy

"Cheer up Kim.luna, liking your fiancé isn't the worst thing in the world"

Maybe not in her world. But it was in mine. A fucking worst thing

[TIME SKIP]

My efforts for avoiding alexander were toughest thing for now, when I returned home, there was a knock on the door.

"Oh my god, what happened?" his horrified expression, what I already knew-I look like a mess

Bruised jaw. A cut above my collarbone, and my cheek

Thank God, I didn't have any meeting or family gathering for almost week.

"I was just practicing" I let him come inside

My house was also a mess. Messy like my life

"What kind of practice?"

"Boxing with serena" I blunt the truth

"You box for fun?" he started picking the clothes from the floor as I removed my coat and throw away

"yes"

"It's mean you have temper" he started cleaning my hall

I took my place on the couch

"I'm sure the past wounds and Injury are from boxing only?" he teased me

"yes"

He was the reason serena got chance to hit the shit out of me in the ring, and now he was teasing me

"you're teasing me"

"It's too easy" his smile fade

Alexander's eyes linger over my wounds, my shirt three buttons were open anyone seeing the wounds.

"You should ice your bruises and clean those cut or it'll get infected"

"I'll be fine" they weren't my first or painful injury from the ring.

"Ice and clean it" in min he has already cleaned my hall and folded my cloth "now" he said firmly

"Or what" he was so cute when he tried to boss me, I couldn't resist

"Or I'll tell your parents and tell them everything, your parents were surely listening to me, because they like me more than you" he was annoying and pain in ass.

"Meet me in the bathroom. I'm getting ice and medicine from my house as I know you don't have any" he was right I don't have anything

I headed to bathroom

Yet here I was waiting for a goddamn ice pack; my wounds didn't hurt. Much.

Alexander enters carrying ice bags and medicine box

"I told you I'm fine" I protest, the soft feeling when he brushed his finger over my jaw

"Kitten your skin getting purple"

"mhm" I nodded

"Stay still" he pressed one of the packs against my face

"I can handle this, I've been through worse" still he didn't move and made me sit on the counter of the bathroom, his one hand over my waist and one was dabbing the wet clothe over my wound

"What you mean by worse"

"I broke my nose and right hand when I was thirteen, some girls were bullying my friend, so I hit them, she hit me back, it got so serious that I was in emergency room"

His eyes widen "how old were those girls"

"fifteen"

"It must be hard on you" he placed the Band-Aid over my cut and stepped back with happy expression

"you're forgetting one thing" I tapped my cheek

I didn't know why I was here, with him, but I couldn't remember the last time some did this to me, it's been years

He furrowed his brows "what?"

"My kiss"

Pink nose looked cute on him "now you're the one teasing me kitten" he took step closer

"I would never tease about such a serious matter alexander" I tugged my hair behind my hair and smiled

"One kiss for each of my injuries, that's It, would you deny a dying women last wish" a mischievous smirk appears on my face

"don't be dramatic, fine, if you insist so" he caged me between his arm like he did when we were---

My heart thud, when he brushed his lips over my brow, then my jaw, and last above my collarbone. "better"

I nodded

"you're such a kid Infront of me" his laugh filled my ears

"it's not the worst thing someone has called me"

"what's your height basically"

Dumbass "5'2"

"don't you dare to laugh" I know I was short, I barely reached his shoulder

"baby" he ruffles my hair

Heat radiant on my cheek, I never have been so attached to anyone, but him, it was different, so different

"About last night" his breath touched my face

"You were right to stop things-when I did...us. What we did was a mistake" disappointment sneaked through my chest

He sighed "I know we've created a contract and broke it..but trust me I won't do it again" he backoff

"a mistake right" I took a deep breath

"Right just a mistake"

"Take care" in seconds he was gone, I was alone again

The bathroom smelled like mint and ointment.
