Chapter - 5 (Mutual feeling)

This chapter is dedicated to DreamsRemembered... Thanks for your comments, It really means a lot to me... :-)

Ivy smiled sadly and climbed ahead to her room. I watched her go up the stairs, shoulders slumped in defeat. Like something way too heavy weighing down on her delicate shoulders. I kept watching her till she vanished in her room. I am sure I saw her today early in the morning on the bridge a mile away from the house.

First I thought she was going to commit a suicide by jumping over the bridge. I ran to help her but when I reached under the bridge, I heard her saying something. Although I could only hear her few last words, but I could feel this girl was deeply hurt and disturbed.

"...I miss you... please forgive me..."

He heard only this much. It was like she did something really bad to somebody, yet she desperately needed his or her forgiveness.

I didn't know or understand her dilemma but still my heartfelt a pull towards her. I stood there under the bridge unable to understand her or my protective feeling for her.

One moment she was crying and the next she was jogging away across the bridge. I could only see her back, her slim frame and her long, black, curly hair bouncing as she ran towards the line of houses.

Later in this morning I found her in the kitchen of my hiding. Although I didn’t recognized her immediately but I liked what I saw. She was standing there clutching a silly knife, challenging me with it.

Her body wrapped in a pink towel and her long black curly hair, Wet and dripping droplets of water on the carpet by her feet. Looking like dew washed fresh flower of spring.

She was un-doubly the most beautiful human girl I had ever seen. She was picture perfect. With her big golden brown eyes, a dainty nose and small rose bud lips.

It was really hard for me to take my eyes of her. I tried to ignore her but she kept on talking, finally I teased her and got her angry on myself so that she could run away from me as my self control was slipping away with an octave speed, seeing her standing there like sheer temptation on legs.

She ran away saying “I’ll be back” but I knew I won’t be able to control myself next time. Especially after inhaling her sweet smell and seeing her reaction to me. It was a dangerously erotic encounter.

So I quickly shut the noisy machine by landing a punch on it, and threw it into the bin. I left the kitchen and closed myself in my room, away from her. I needed time to understand my weird feeling for her. Now that I knows that Dave and Amy was her parents I can understands my protective feeling for her. I loved her parents. But why I felt so attracted to her was a completely different story and I had no clue about it.

I have been with many women in my past but never felt this kind of strong pull towards any of them, not even towards Sally. Well no doubt Ivy is exceptionally beautiful girl, but that’s no excuse for my weird feeling for her.

Well whatever the reason I needs to keep my distance from her otherwise I will lose myself to her and I am not going to let it happen to me. Not again…

Then she came to my room while I was sleeping and I immediately sensed her. I was wide awake but didn’t move a muscle. Pretending that I was still asleep, I waited for her to go away but she stood there staring at me and I could feel the heat generating in my body.

Minutes passed but I knew she was still there. I didn’t need to open my eyes to conform it, I could smell her. The sweet flowery smell of her and her alone. Then I sensed that somebody was at the door, and finally Ivy left my room when the doorbell rang.

When I came down she was speaking to Mrs. Koufax a friend of Amy and their neighbour. Ivy looked upset when she turned away from the door closing it behind her. I wanted to ask her, to pull her in my arms and make all her worries go away. But shunning that thought as soon as it came, I once again managed to annoy her to go away from me.

Before going to her room she thanked me for taking care of her parents when she was not there. I saw her sad and troubled face and felt like kicking myself for being so rude to her. I wanted to go after her and ask her about her problems but I know better. Once I got close to her there will be no turning back. As it is I have my hands full with my own problems. Gritting my teeth in frustration I went to my room, got dressed and jumped out of the window.
