Destiny

Chapter 26 - Cogent argument

I felt strong, taut arms go around me and I swivelled around at the startling manly touch that not only sent chills down my spine and butterflies in my stomach but also a brought a deep, hard tug in my chest .

I slowly opened my heavy eyelids that had slid shut in the comfort , winding down a little.My gaze traversed from his white button down shirt and dark blue blazer that concealed his hard profile and reached up to his quintessential jaw line .

The thin trail of dark hair that traced his jaw made him look sexier and suddenly all I wanted was  to run my nose along his jaw line breathing in his familiar dark masculine scent.

Slowly my eyes raised to his straight long , thin nose and further up until it my gaze was trapped in his holding me captive.

Those deeply set blue-grey eyes tried to  swallow me whole once again and I found myself inching closer still not breaking our eye contact .

I felt feather light touches scintillating my body with desire when his warm fingers moved across my cheeks. My eyes drifted to his thin lips at the moment and with crucifying leisure pace ,we closed the rift between us .

Just as our lips were about to collide and was at a hair's breadth away...
I woke up.
Woke up as though someone had poured a bucket of ice cold water on me.

Panting heavily I threw myself upright on the bed. My eyes roamed around and i recognised my familiar bedroom. It was still dark and long before dawn.

What the hell was that about?
How could I dream about him kissing me?
To be truthful, it had also been my fault to give in so easily-
Shut up Leah...It's just a stupid dream that doesn't make sense.

On the contrary I couldn't be so sure it was him after all .It was more like a mist covering half his face and I couldn't recall most of it. Just the eyes that held me prisoner, the lips that demanded to be crushed into mine , the jaw that-enough!!!!

I was just over thinking it. I dreamt a million dreams over the years but that doesn't mean all made sense. This was one among those .That was all...

Throwing my blankets off me I clumsily walked to the large mirror in my room .
With the moonlight falling into my room through the enormous glass windows I could make out myself in the mirror .

My sight wasn't as clear and defined as it was earlier but still it was much  better than most humans.

My shoulder length raven black hair was disheveled and my brown eyes were wide with a combination of craziness and bewilderment.

Slowly I placed two fingers on my lips.
So close...I thought recalling the moments that had been a dream after all.

Why was it that I always got affected with his presence ...No!I wasn't still sure it was him. Could have been any other man...not him ...definitely not him .

My head felt heavy and I wanted nothing but to go back to bed and get a proper sleep without anyone popping up in my dreams.

It had been more than three weeks since I last saw him- when I left him in the cafe with Pearl. And after the message I received from him that same night for which I hadn't replied , I never got a glimpse of him again which was something that I was greatful about.
