The Missing hope

Chapter Seventeen A Painful Punishment

General POV:
The next morning, in fact noon, Roy woke up first. He saw the alarm clock and chuckled realizing it was 2 pm. He looked at Jisha who was cuddled against him, with his chest as a pillow for her head. To him, she looked so peaceful, so relaxed, so beautiful, so gorgeous, so sexy. He couldn't control his virile anymore so he slid his hand under the sheets and tickled her bare stomach. He'd realized last night, how ticklish she was. Her stomach being a major weak spot. He knew she had many more and he was determined to find them.

She squirmed in her sleep with a smile written all over her face. She turned onto her stomach so he could no longer reach her stomach.

He was disappointed for a moment but then saw her bare back as her movement had left her back uncovered by the blanket she was hugging. He ran his fingers up and down cheekily on her spine. Then he started playing incy wincy spider. She squirmed in his arms.

He was loving this.

Then he dipped his head forward and briefly kissed her lips. By now she was fully awake. She initiated a deeper kiss. As always, the kiss deepened and heated very easily. Soon after, they were all over each other again.

An hour later, they lay beside each other, panting. Then Jisha stood up to go for a shower but Roy pulled her back into another kiss.

"At Least tell me your name now?" He whispered through kisses.

She chuckled breaking away. "Strings, remember? Sorry."

"And what if I get really mad and won't speak to you ever again."

That bit her heart but she recovered quickly, "I don't think we'll ever see each other again." She gave him a facsimile of a smile.

Her words pierced his heart and he pulled her into an aggressive punishing kiss. As if to punish her for saying those hurtful words.

This time their love making was filled with aggression, anger even. It was quite rough and harsh from Roy's side. She groaned in pain a couple of times but despite feeling bad for what he was doing to her, his angry side outweighed his other feelings. All he wanted to do now was punish her. How could she have said it so casually, like this made no difference to her.
Finally she pushed him away, " Roy, you're hurting me. Stop." She stood up staggeringly and walked with staggered steps to the bathroom, groaning in pain.
She slammed the bathroom door shut behind her.

Jisha POV:
Ouch... I wanted to scream so loud. It hurt so much. I sat on the bath tub edge to keep my thighs fairly apart in an attempt to reduce the pain. What had gone wrong? I just can't figure it out. It's like we were red hot then in a flash we were ice cold. Was this his way of chasing me away. Telling me he was done? It just doesn't make sense. Is it because I didn't tell him my name or because I said we won't be meeting again. But why would that make a difference, I mean it was crystal clear that this was no more than a one night stand. If he's expecting more, I have to make it clear that it can't happen. As much as I loved the great sex we had last night, I can't be committed in a relationship. So this has to end.

When I stood up to get into the shower, I realized there was a little pool of blood where I was sitting.

"Damn it." I cursed.

Then I saw the drops of blood which showed my tracks as if walked in. I looked down and saw that blood was still dripping. Shit! I grabbed some toilet paper and pressed it hard in an attempt to stop the bleeding. It burned like hell. It must be a cut on the inside. I turned on the faucet for the bath tub and turned it to the highest it could go on the hot side. I knew cold water would help soothe the pain but the hot water was more important because it would kill the germs and prevent an infection. Plus it made more sense to work with hot water and then the cold water than doing cold, hot and then cold again.

There was a knock on the door.
"Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You're bleeding."

"Like I hadn't noticed." Bitter sarcasm filled her voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Are you alright."

"Yeah just leave me alone." Annoyance replaced the bitterness.

Roy's POV:
The moment the words that we'd never meet again left her mouth, I wanted to punish her. How could she have said that so casually, I mean this is a one night stand but it could be more. I wanted to tell her to shut up and just hold her in my arms, never letting her go.
Then I smashed my lips on hers in a punishing kiss. All I wanted to do was make her feel sorry for saying that. I didn't realize when I became so harsh and aggressive that I'd started hurting her. I heard her groan but I couldn't register if it was pain or pleasure. I was blinded by my rage.
Thank god she finally pushed me off. But why did she wait for so long? She should've pushed me off long ago. Why did she bear it for so long? How did she bear it for so long.
It was a painful punishment. Too painful. I'm sure.

I looked at the bathroom door. I felt so ashamed of myself that my eyes fell to floor. My eyes opened wide as I noticed trail of blood from the bathroom to the bed, the bed to the bathroom. Then I looked at the bedsheets. There was a stain of blood. Damn it. I didn't want to hurt her that bad.
I immediately moved to the door and knocked.
Oh my god, how could I have done this to her.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You're bleeding." I didn't know what else to say. How to apologize for being such a monster.

"Like I hadn't noticed."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Are you alright." I just couldn't help it, I felt so guilty.

"Yeah just leave me alone."

I turned to leave when I heard her scream in pain. A cry of great pain.
