Twisted Scars

16. I need you

                       I need you...

"Itha? Look at me. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Did u feel uncomfortable of my touch?" Reyansh asked Itha seriously without any sign of joke

Itha gazed at him. He never used her name, Itha, unless it was serious; he always called her 'little kitten.' "Yes, I am his little kitten, so why is he calling me by my name? I've never disliked my name so much before. Why now?" Itha pondered, frowning. His hands were still gently holding hers.

Misinterpreting her silence, Reyansh spoke.

"I am sorry, Itha. I never intended to make you uncomfortable. I will never touch you again," he said in a low voice and released her hand.

Itha's POV

I looked at him suddenly and realized what she did. He mistaken me. nooo... what I am feeling ? why? Did I feel uncomfortable? Noo instead I liked it. I don't know what is this but not even once I felt uncomfortable. And why the fuck he is calling me by my name. I am your little kitten.

But you didn't like him calling you little kitten you were irritated when he called you that her subconscious mocked her

 youuuu just shuttttt upppp.....i don't know all that but I like him calling me by little kitten but before thatI need to express my feelings to him. He appears guilty at the moment. Oh God, I never knew Reyansh had this side of him. Everyone misjudged him as a devil, but in reality, he is a gentleman. He cares too.

I held Reyansh hand with my hands and asked him seriously

"do u feel like I am uncomfortable?"

Reyansh looked at their intertwined hands and replied.

"ummmm... you can just tell me if u are unc-" 

"yes or no Reyansh? Just say your answer in yes or no. Do u think I am uncomfortable?"" i interrupted him midway.

"NO" he said confidently but somewhere he wanted to know my answer

"I didn't feel uncomfortable even for a second Reyansh. If I felt like that then I would've slapped you by now."

A broad smile spread across his lips as if he had been anticipating this very answer. Once more, he drew my hands close to his lips and kissed them softly, looking straight into my eyes.

I quickly averted my gaze not able to resist his gaze on me.I could hear his chuckle.. When my hand touched his lips I felt a shiver run through my body.. Just then I heard his voice

"I think we should really go now." Reyansh said

Author's POV

Itha simply nodded, and as she reached to open the car door, Reyansh had already opened it for her, extending his hand. Itha glanced at him, then at his hand, and gently placed hers in his. Together, they walked into the café, holding hands

"Hey, love birds" old couple greeted them with teasing smile.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Evans." Itha greeted them and turned to Reyansh "I was talking about them. Mr. and Mrs. Evans" Reyansh nodded to them, and they took their seats at the corner table, which offered a view of the distant sea, emanating a peaceful aura.

"Anything different today, or the usual?" Mrs. Evans asked me knowing very well whenever i come here i order the same thing. I responded with a sheepish smile, "The usual, but two plates, Mrs. Evans." As she was about to leave, I stopped her and then added, "Could I also get a choco lava cake, please?"
