27. Her laugh is worth being stupid.
The weather of Milauje did gave a hard time to Rayne for choosing a nice piece of clothing. For instances, it did accompanied its atmosphere with a moderate weather but just like the majority of days it was humid and warm .
Rayne stumbled through her wardrobe and chose a nice dark blue coloured summer dress that Alec brought for her.
She put on a side brown bag to fix the look and scurried outside to buy a gift that would make her brother happy. After all Ian's birthday was just a few days far.
The market was five minutes far from Alec's mansion. So, she decided to walk. Being the introvert person she was, she didn't find it comfortable to have been accompanied.
As soon as she reached the market, she spotted a gift shop and entered it.
She started looking around the exclusive stuff that was hanging around fashionably in the shop.
She wasn't wearing heels, it was flats that made up her footwear, so she found it hard to pick up a showpiece from the top most shelf.
Out of nowhere, muscular hands grabbed her waist and as if on a cue, she jumped around in surprise.
"Who are you?", she asked the man whose hands just picked her up.He just smirked and moved a step closer. His dirty blonde hair were shoddily adjusted on his head. He wore a black leather jacket and light blue jeans with a black t-shirt inside. There was something bad radiating off his whole body.
His intense grey eyes and hard jaw, always accustomed in the minds, a stern picture about him.
Rayne looked at him like he has grown a new pair of hand of his head.
"Forgot me so soon, darling." And there the husky voice cleared it all.
He was the same person the called Rayne at the back of the library. The only difference was that he wasn't wearing a ninja mask today. It was just like a ghost growing more dreadful.
Rayne's pupil dilated even more in horror.
"What do you want?", she asked.
"What do I want?" He repeated the question and rubbed his index finger and thumb over his half shaved jaw, "Umm...let's see, I want everything."
Everything was a very mysterious word to understand, it never meant something associated with anything .
"Can you be more specific?", Rayne spat.
"I want everything that is yours or rather his."
"His?"
"Yeah darling him. He fucking destroyed me and I'll take what is his."
"You are a freak. Leave me alone." With that Rayne tried to walk away. She tried.
At a mere distance of about half a decameter, Alec was passing by in his car. He had been on a return to home from the meeting he had with William. He was fuming with anger already and wanted to kill James right ahead, but a sight just stroked off James from the now prior.
He could see all from the transparent glass of the gift shop.
The sight of a buff man, holding Rayne's hand whilst she struggling to get away just, added more fuel to his anger.
He stopped the car right away and entered the gift shop.
Alec shoved the mystery man off Rayne and grabbed her by her waist, almost patching her to his side .
Rayne gasped but sighed in relief when she saw Alec .
" Well, well, well. Isn't it the knight in the shining armour? " the mystery man said, posturing himself right.
"Caden? ", the mystery man's name rolled out of Alec's tongue.
"Oh so you remember me. Good ."
"Stop the crap and leave her alone." Alec literally was dragging Rayne out when he stopped at Caden's voice.
" Revenge is a very sweet thing Alec." Sarcasm was evident in Caden's voice .
Alec just shrugged him off and sat Rayne in the passenger seat and after sitting on the driver's seat and starting the car.
" What the hell were you doing with him?!", Alec shouted.
"I wasn't doing anything. He was the one who came to me in the first place."
"Do you know him?" Alec asked .
"No. Please tell me you'll keep this a secret."
Alec nodded.
"I have had a numerous texts from him. He threatened me to come and meet him at the back of old library, the other night or else he'll kill Ian. I was so scared that I went to meet him. Then he said not tell anyone else about it."
"So that bruise was from him?"
Rayne nodded.
"I will fucking kill him!"
"How'd you know him?" Rayne darted the question.
"I'll tell you later. Anyway what were you doing there?"
"Don't change the subject." She said nonchalantly.
"I am not changing the subject. I am just saving the conversation for tomorrow."
She just winged her head in disbelief.
"So...", Alec trailed on the two letter word.
"So..." Rayne just stretched the awkwardness.
"So what were you doing there? At the gift store?"
"Oh I was just trying to buy a gift for Ian. His birthday is this Saturday. " Rayne soothed her dress while saying.
"Did you find anything?"
"No, I didn't get time to -" Rayne was cut off by the sound of Alec's car drifting into another lane,that didn't lead them to mansion.
"Woah! Easy there. Where are we going? "
"For buying a gift, duh." He said like that was the obvious, but it did made some irony.
They reached to a fancy gift shop in a mall nearby.
"Ahh I hate shopping." Alec said seeing the wide variety of goods, "But I do have an amazing taste."
"You told yourself that, didn't you?",Rayne asked.
"I observed things and concluded that."
"What things?"
"That you look beautifuller than ever in the dresses I got you." He looked at her and the dress that she made perfect, just by wearing it.
"Beautifuller? It is not even a word." She laughed at his stupidity.
"I know I just wanted to make you laugh."
