Marooned With A Billionaire

Chapter 10. Chasing her.

Saira's POV.

How dare he deny being with Mira? And why is he doing it? He is already aware of my families association with the Johnson's and still he denies being Mira's soon to be fiancé.

I felt a soft touch on my cheek. Leonardo! I tried to swat his fingers away only to have him put his arms around my waist and pull me towards him. "Zavi, I almost went mad with worry these last two days." He said softly.

His warm brown eyes boring into me. I could feel myself softening towards him. Snap out of it Saira! I looked away with effort.

"Mr. Norcross, I don't understand your need to worry like this, but thank you for your concern." I know I am being rude. But I have to be careful with this man. He is breaking through my defences swiftly.

I barely know him, I met him just a few days back and already I feel I can trust him. Which obviously is a ridiculous thought!

I lost my ability to trust years back. I had learnt my lesson the hardest possible way.

His melted chocolate brown eyes came into focus again. He had hooked a finger on my chin, tilting it so that I could stare into those orbs on fire again. He held my chin firmly between his thumb and index finger making it impossible to turn away.

"I know it is weird Zavi. I don't completely understand it either. But I do know that not having you around me makes unhappy. Not knowing your whereabouts or if you are safe set me off in a state of panic."

"I will second that." I heard someone speak from behind me. Leonardo frowned at the owner of the voice and pulled away from me, only to hold my hand.

"Zavi, meet my brother, Mark." Leonardo said gesturing towards one of the two men who had joined us. "And this is Mikky, a business associate."

I started to smile politely at the two men intending to introduce myself but it quickly turned to a gasp as Mark took my hand and brought it to his lips "It's a pleasure to meet you Zavi." he said kissing it lightly.

"Cut it Mark! Her name is Saira Zaveri. Only I call her Zavi." Leonardo snapped from beside me as he grabbed the hand that Mark had kissed.

Oh Lord! What have I got myself into? I was already trying to escape one crazy Norcross, and now I have another, an evident player in hand too.

Mark grinned at his brother unabashed "Do you have a special name for my brother too?" he asked me grinning.

"No-"

"Loony" Leonardo said sounding absolutely delighted "She calls me Loony."

Madman!

He really is mad. Who else can be okay about being referred as loony and be so happy about it.

I decided to keep my mouth shut. If he wants to announce to the world he is crazy then who am I to object?

A sharp bark of laughter left Mark as he heard Leonardo say this but he wisely did not pass any remark.

"By the way Zavi, Mikky is Tom's brother." Leonardo says..

Before I could acknowledge this Mark exclaimed. "You know Tom?"

"I met him two days back at-"

"She met him when we went to my Lake house. And Cheese ball loved her." Leonardo interjected, smiling at me.

"You took her to the lake house?" Mark asked his eyebrows raised. "How did you convince him to?" the last bit was directed to me.

"I took her Mark. I wanted to talk to her without interruption." Leonardo said scowling at Mark.
