THE TRUTH BEHIND MY EYES

PROPHECY

"Come on Trace I can go to the washroom by myself" I yell at her while she clings to me tightly.
It's been 2 days since the accident and now Trace is super protective of me.
She doesn't even leave me for one second.
She wraps her arms around me tighter.
"Trace, I am warning you. Leave me before I throw you out of the bed."
"No, I will go with you. I am not leaving you alone. You will vanish suddenly again."
She stubbornly murmurs while pouting lips.
"Trace, I have to pee. You can't go there with me."
Why does she always have to play with my patience?
"I can. Both of us are girls. So, I can go with you there."
"Yes, we are girls but I am not lesbo okay. If you want to watch someone pee then call your boyfriend and ask him to pee in front of you. He will clearly enjoy that."
She again starts to make puppy faces.
I sighed out in frustration.
God!
I am not that fragile.
The sound of the doorbell reaches our ears and Trace leaps out of the bed to open it.
How is she so fast?
At least I can go to the washroom now.
I went to the washroom to finish my girly moments.
After washing my face I looked at my reflection in the washroom face.
Dark brown bruises on my face along with a faint mark of cut on my forehead.
Well it's not faint.
I ran my hand over my face.
I never considered myself the most beautiful one but at least I was pretty.
But not now.
I look like a ugly witch now.
I stepped out of the bathroom and came face to face directly with Greco.
"Hello Knifey"
"Hey"
How can someone look like a Greek God in this early morning?
Brown tousle hair where I always want to run my hands , dazzling green eyes which is enough to lose my breath, straight long nose slightly crooked at the edge, thin pink lips which is way too much kissable,sharp smooth jaw which can cut a marble, smooth pale flawless skin which I am jealous of and a perfect sculpted figure.
Damn this man.
Why is he so delicious?
I fixed my gaze into his Adam apple which is bobbing up and down.
I want to touch it so badly.
"Are you done with eye fucking me?" I snapped my gaze back into his eyes to see him smirking down at me.
"Oh hello Mister keep your self centred ego to yourself. You are not that handsome that I have to eyefuck you." I flipped him off.
Or atleast I tried.
I shifted my gaze away from him and looked everywhere for Trace.
Where in the fuck is she when you need her the most?
Maybe fucking with Reuben.
I mentally cringed at that thought.
"Knifey?"
"Hmm, what?"
I am shocked to see how close I am to him.
He pressed me against the wall with his hands planted beside my head.
I can feel my breathing hitch because of this close proximity and my heart is racing like a fucking horse.
"Why are you standing so close to me?" I whispered Shakily.
He smirks down at me.
"Why? Are you complaining?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then you have to make it a habit because I am always going to stay close to you."
"Are you flirting with me, Mr. Antonio Greco?"
"Why to flirt when you are already mine." He grazes his nose along with my jaw while breathing heavily.
The sweet smell of cologne is mixed up with his honey and musky scent.
I can almost taste it on my lips.
I close my eyes and run my fingers on his muscular back.
Feeling the muscle twitch beneath my fingers.
"Who says I am yours?" I challenged him.
Although I had not said anything, I can't lie that I have some unimaginable feelings for him which I still have to make out.
His eyes meet mine.
Brown against Green.
His eyes still have the glow of love which has become my favourite.
A small smile lit up his face.
"Don't pretend that you don't know anything, Knifey. I am saying it and I don't like to repeat. So, end of this discussion."
"You have to try a little bit harder to win my heart, Greco. It's not that easy." I whispered in his ears and started to trail up butterfly kisses on his neck.
His neck is still slightly bruised but better I guess.
"I don't like easy things either. But one thing I have never failed and I will be damned if I fail you."
Then he kisses my forehead softly.
I reached up to my tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek.
Why in the hell is he so tall?
He is like 6 feet 2 inches and I am like 5 feet 4 inches.
I sighed and hugged him tightly.
It literally feels like heaven.
No, it doesn't feel like one.
It is one.
He also wraps his arms tightly against my waist and keeps his head on my shoulder.
"Why aren't you wearing the brace?"
I had forced him to wear a brace due to the electric shock in his neck.
"Greco?" I glared at him.
"It's annoying and it's not like I have broken my neck." He whines out in protest.
I am not a doctor but still I told him to wear that.
I run my fingers over the red bruise and he slightly cringes at that touch.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Slightly but it will get better."
I kept glaring at that spot.
Tears threatened to spill from my eyes.
"It's my fault."
I pushed him off of me and went to sit down on the sofa.
"No, it's not." He sits down beside me and pulls me over his lap.
I started to squirm out of there but he locked his arms around me.
"It is. If I am not that damn stupid then nothing has happened to you. At first you got burnt because of me and now this."
I turned my face away from him and wiped down the tears with the back of my hand.
"Knifey" he pulls my face up to meet his eyes.
"Nothing is your fault. Okay? That bastard knew that you care about Mr. Davis, that's why he threatened you to go there. And being the most selfless person you also went there to save him. So that was not your fault. So stop blaming yourself."
I know there is no reason to argue with him anymore so I just nod my head.
"Okay, now tell me about something."
"What?"
Now he has a mischievous smile on his lips.
" Why did you break Maggie's nose? Not that I am complaining. But suddenly why?"
Crap. How did he find out about that?
Of course he is the boss of this college. So he will find out about this idiot.
"Nothing just personal issues." I grumbled secretly praying to God that he drop the topic away.
"Ohhh, do personal issues include jealousy?" He shows me a wolfish grin.
"I'm not jealous." I scream at him while punching him on the face with a pillow.
"Owwww"
He immediately covers up his face.
"Oh my God, I am so sorry. Are you okay?"
Shit! How can I be so stupid?
I forcefully removed his hand from his face and started to check for any possible damage.
But there is nothing excluding the early bruises.
"I am fine. But it warms my heart to see that you care for me."
"Of course I do." I glared at him.
I tried my best to look angry but he still has that stupid grin on his face.
"I love you" I freeze over him.
It's the first time he said these words to me after the incident.
"Aa, I I you whaa" I mumble.
"Hey, don't worry about it too much. I know you need time and that's okay. Just remember that I will always wait for you till the end of my last breath." He kisses me softly on the forehead again.
It's so comforting that I can't even describe it.
I just smile up at him while looking deeply in his eyes where I am only able to find love shining for me.
"Wow, never in my wildest dream did I think that I would see something like that." Reuben's sudden exclamation makes me fall from my spot on the sofa.
Thud!
"Ouff"
"Knifey" Greco helps me to stand up while I glare at Reuben.
Trace is still looking at me with shock written all over her face.
Beside her Ben is grinning like a fool.
"You" Trace points at me.
"Both of us need to talk."
Both of the boys groan out loud.
Fuck!
I am in trouble now.
