Fighting Flames

Chapter-15

I waited as I stared at the screen, it was loading the information and I waited for it. A minute passed, then another and believe me it still felt like forever.

The men were busy staring at the screen, and I made an eye contact with my dad at the same time.

I saw him motion towards the people who were busy staring at the screen.

Whatever dad did left the laptop trying to load the information, the money.

I knew what he meant and and kicked the most important person in the group standing and pulled my knife from my shoe pointing at the man.

"One more step and he's dead."
I threatened.

"Drop the weapons."
I said again.

They looked at him and put their weapons down.

"Open Becca and my dad right now." I said as I took one more glance at the computer. I was shocked. All the money had transfered to their account and the process hadn't stopped the money was transferring from their account to I don't know where meaning they will have no money left.

I was actually happy and didn't notice Dustin enter.

He looked at me, his eyes showed worry, they were tired sad and angry. More than anything he looked hurt, I don't know why but I know it hurt to see him like that.

One  more moment I maintained my eye contact with Dustin and the room burst open and David's men barged in taking the control of the attack. I stood their the laptop had done its work the money had been transferred from the Black's account to an unknown account.

Dustin ran towards me and grabbed my wrist as he pulled me put of the room,"where are you taking me Dustin?"                                                                                                                                                               I asked.

He looked at me this time his light blue orbs were blank like there was nothing to read in them. He pulled me out of the room and lead me somewhere. 

"Why did you go there like this? You were outnumbered, they could've hurt you, kill you even. We had a plan to take them down. We knew Becca was  kidnapped by them."                                             He asked.

"They beat her for god's sake. and if you knew that she was kidnapped by them then why didn't you tell me? You know we wouldn't have gone through all this." 

This was going out of hand. I can take care of myself but its them who won't understand this. the worst thing that could happen was me getting killed. but what I don't understand is that why David hid all this from me. 

He didn't keep secrets and trusted me.

"Why won't you understand that we all want you safe-"

"You want me safe? You think i'm not capable of doing that on my own? It was me who survived three years with drug addicts and alcoholics and spent my time street fighting, shooting guns and throwing knives. Why can't you just accept the fact that I am independent, that I don't need anyone to take care of me."  I cut him off.

He stared at me, then he pinched the bridge of his nose, as if thinking something.

"How could i forget that you are Kiara Evans and you dint't need anyone to take care of you because you are heartless." He said, his stone suddenly cold.

"I wanted you to leave the gang mess so we can have a happy life, a normal one. I left my gang at once when you asked but you just cannot leave this shit behind can you. here you are giving away your life for us, you want your family to stay happy but did you ever think about me, I LOVE YOU GOD DAMN IT." He finished yelling in the end.

I stared at him wide eyed. he loves me-? But how can he. I am such a shitty person who does not deserve his love. I understand why he didn't tell me about Becca's kidnapping because he knew if I came to know then I would happily die for her. He loves me and the fact is that I don't know what to feel anymore. I am a horrible human being and I definitely don't deserve love-his love to be precise.

He looked up at me, "Why do you love me? I am a cold hearted girl, the most feared girl,  I don't deserve your love-"

"Don't ever say that you don't deserve it. you are the only person who does. Okay? You want to know why, its because you love everyone who cares for you, you are always ready to die for everyone, you are selfless, beautiful, independent and about being cold-hearted, you are not, how can you be. every time you separated someone's loved one from the, you took proper care of the person, you did good to everyone, people will always form rumors, they say you kill everyone but the fact is that you haven't even killed a single person, you take care of everyone. and that is what I love about you," 

 I stared at him, his eyes nor even once left mine, I  was overwhelmed when he said that his eyes told me he was telling the truth. 

He slowly leaned in, closing the gap between us as he pulled me for a long passionate kiss. He showed me his feelings this way. His lips moving with mine in complete sync.  I felt the sparks rising as one of his hand tightened around my waist, the second one cupping my cheek. My hands played with his hair at the nape of his neck. I let out a low mewl as he traces my bottom lip with his tongues as I gladly opened for him. 

Both of us devoured each other's taste. He finally pulled back to breathe and giving me a heart-warming smile.

I smiled back at him, no trace of awkwardness in the air. 

"Let's get back home."

"But dad and Becca?"

"They will come." he said as he guided me toward his car.

I wonder why the black's are ready to kill all of us. they are working with laser's and the laser's readily agreed to give such a big amount to them so they can buy slaves in revenge for Kaden, Dustin's grandfather's dad, where my dad was not responsible.

When we came home I went to my room to check my bruises and they were there. I had a black eyes, busted lips, my cheek was blue from the impact of punches thrown on me. As i lifted ,my shirt I saw a blue bruise still forming, there were many cuts and a lot of blood stains on my t-shirt which would have been clearly visible if I didn't wear black.

I decided to take a few pain killers and sleeping pills and go to sleep. I wore a long loose black t-shirt and pajama shorts.  I was about to get into the covers and wait for the effect of the sleeping pills to hit in when I saw Dustin enter. he gave me a smile, a big one. Even though he was tired he looked at peace. Without saying any words he got inside the covers and hugged me from behind. My eyelids started dropping as I heard him say " 'night Kia"

I smiled at the nickname and fell into deep slumber. 

I was happy everything was peaceful then, most of the important people of the Black's were killed today. even though their leader was not present there it was like a bomb dropped on him.  Thinking that things would go uphill from here for me and my mess will be long gone I started feeling peaceful.

But what I didn't know was that fate had other plans for me.                                                                           ****
