Chapter – 3 (The encounter)
Ivy came back home before the sun rise. I went to the kitchen and started the coffee maker before going to take bath. As I finished having bath I heard the coffee machine whistle and came running to the kitchen wrapping a towel around my body, I was alone in the house so it hardly mattered if I was properly dressed or not. Well I was wrong… when I reached the kitchen I noticed that I wasn’t alone anymore, there stood a half naked man right in the middle of my kitchen, facing away from me. Topless, he just wore jeans that snagged on his narrow tight hips. His shoulders corded with muscles and he looked huge.
He was staring at the coffee maker which was whistling and indicating the coffee was made. I panicked; there was half naked stranger in my house. What should I do now? I can’t just run away, he would hear me and attack. Well best defence is self defence, I thought and quietly picked up the kitchen knife from the counter beside me and asked "Who are u and what are you doing here?" He turned in the blink of an eye, and now he was staring down at me. My height is 5.6” and he was towering over me so he must be 6.3” or maybe more. He looked intimidating with his tall and broad frame, his chest and biceps bulging with muscles, his has perfect six pack abs and his golden smooth skin shining with the morning sun rays filtering through the kitchen window. I was literally gawking at his glorious body when I heard his deep voice “Who are you?”
I was taken aback by his question and looked up to his face and wow… His features was awesome, golden hair, square jaw, thin supple and slightly pink lips, sharp nose, silly long eyelashes and ocean blue eyes with silverish black ring surrounding the iris. It’s was mesmerizing. His eyes kept me captivated for longer then necessary. I don’t know it was for few second or hours, but I was lost till he cleared his throat.
“I… I am Ivy” I answered coming back to my senses and remembering his question. I have never seen such a drop dead handsome man like him ever before, Gorgeous, handsome, sexy and beautiful. If u can call a male species beautiful then he was definitely one, and his eyes. God… those were just out of this world.
“Ivy…” he repeated like he was trying to taste my name on his tong and he sounded exactly like the man from my weird dreams, same deep voice and same way of stretching the ‘y’. That cannot be possible. My mind was playing a trick, just trying to place this handsome hunk in place of my faceless lover. Well that’s pathetic, am I that desperate? I scoffed at myself and tried to compose myself.
One of his eyebrows twitched and raised, maybe he asked something that I didn’t hear while I was spacing out and staring at him like a hormonal teenager. "What?" I snapped, annoyed at myself.
"What are you doing here?" he said looking annoyed too.
"It’s my home. What r u doing here?" I replied getting little annoyed by his rude tone. He has some guts. Standing half naked in my kitchen and asking me what I am doing in my own home.
"Are you the new owner?" he spoke again sounding little relaxed now.
"No. I am Ivy Whitson and this is my parent’s home" I said frustrated now that he is not answering my questions exactly.
"Oh...” he said and turned back to the coffee maker and asked "What is this?”
I kept my cool long enough, now I challenged him, waving the knife at him "Look mister if you won't get out of my house right now I am calling the police"
He turned towards me again, smiling now “Well... I live here now. Umm... Tenant... I am your parent’s tenant" He gave so many pause like he was making it up.
“ah…uh… Since when?” I asked suspiciously.
"I have been living here from last three years" he said carelessly, turning back to the coffee maker as if that was the most important thing right now.
"My parents died last year”
“I know” he replied still not facing me.
"They never told me they kept a tenant” I asked, still unable to believe him.
Then he turned and took few steps towards me. Looming over me he raised his hand to wipe the drop of water from my shoulder, I felt the electricity run down my spine by his touch. I took a step back as he tried to touch the towel’s knot at my other shoulder "They never told me they have a sexy hot little daughter too...” he replied eyeing my towel and smiling wickedly. I immediately realised that I was standing in front of a total stranger in just a towel.
"I’ll be back" I said and ran back to my room on first floor. I heard his throaty laugh behind me.
God… he knows what he had done. He made me aware of my nakedness to escape my questions. I changed in to a pair of jeans and a loose t-shirt as fast as possible before running down again. But he was not there. The coffee maker was broken and lying in the dust can.
What the hell I thought and searched the whole house for him but he was nowhere. Tired now I thought he must be some thief or something, looking for free place to live. The house was locked from one whole year, maybe he thought nobody lived here and planned to crash in here. That’s why he ran off while I was changing in my room. I didn’t hear him leave though. Well… maybe I was too furious at him to notice anything except his throaty laughter; I didn’t even hear the noise of coffee maker crashing. His laughter still rang in my brain. But thief or not, he was really gorgeous creature.
Half of the day I kept cleaning and emptying the cupboards and drawers of my room. It was 3:30 when my phone rang. It was Aunt Mary; I spoke to her for long time reassuring her that I am fine and will come back soon.
After the phone call, I picked up the boxes of useless things that I didn't wanted and took them to the attic store. As I opened the attic door, there he was, laying flat on his back on a big bed. The attic also didn't look like attic. Instead it was looking like a spacious bedroom, tastefully decorated in black & silver colours. His bed sheets were made of silky black materiel and he was soundly asleep on it. He was looking stunning even while sleeping.
