Diamond Ash ( Completed )

Disguise..

A sign board passed us....saying " 500 metres to Vermont "......with every second passing by... I was getting further tensed.... What happens when we get there?? When we get to her??

"So?? Do you know where this carol is actually living or are you planning to threaten the rocks by your looks and get the address from them??"

I cant believe that now i have progressed to speak out loud what i could only think when i first met him..

"Farckle and Salaazar have dug up the hotel in which she is currently living... And for extra credit...i do not threaten rocks!!! "

I did not actually expected a reply because he has been on mute since that little eartquake... And when he did with sarcasm....i was like flying over the skies...

Well now if he is in such a mood to talk then...

"Uhhmmm.. The diamonds... The ones that carol stole....Your diamonds I mean....The diamonds that you are digging up the whole world for.. Are these the ones that...ummm... You sto...took from your faAath.... "

"Yes... " just a small world.. but it was enough to scream that the stefan i saw.. The soft hearted one.. was inside him somewhere deep down... And it longed to escape...

"Why did you hold on to it?? You could have gotten rid of it..long time ago"

"It was the reminder of what i could have been... Reminder of my mistake... And i am not yet ready to let it go... "

"No stefan....it was an anchor connecting you to your humanity...reminder of what you really are.. Preventing you from loosing yourself in the shadows of evil... And now when its lost...you are panicking... Because you yourself are not ready to get lost... But you are also unwilling to forgive yourself.. "

As usual...a deafening silence was the only achievement i got.... And as i galced sideways on the road... I realized that the hills and highway had dissappeared and we were now inside the busy city...with cars and taxis... Buzzing from ear to ear...

About in just 5 minutes we reached the parking area of a grand hotel and stefan parked his car...followed by another one in which farckle and salazaar were waiting for us..

All of us got out and just as stefan and i started rushing to the entrance farckle stopped us..

"We cant get in like this...Those freacking watchman... They will catch us"

"What do we do sir?? "it was salazaar

Stefan took out the gun from his back and handed it to salazaar...

"Liv and i will go in from the main entrance... You two find a way to get yourselves inside along with the weapons... "

"Aye Aye... " exclaimed both of them and left the parking lot quickly..

Stefan took my hand and hurried towards the entrance...

Why the hell is he holding my hand??? I mean not that i love it... But the feel of his fingers against mine is making concentrating on the outer world a lot harder.... And it is surely not an advantage when you are trying to sneak into a hotel... And probably going to threaten someone...

The condition became worse when just before the entrance stefan pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and placed them on my eyes... He then placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer... And whispered something in my ear...

It was extremely exhausting to concentrate on his words and not on the warmth of his breath tickling my ear...

I hardly caught the words " hide... Face... Cameras... Don't... Speak...not.. Interfere"

And then he began to hurl me towards the reception...

"Good Morning Sir... May i help you??"

It was the receptionist trying to be as polite as possible..

"Yah sure...Is there any room available in this hotel for me and my lovely wife to stay the night for??"

What???lovely wife???did he just not break up with me just 3 hours ago?? And now i am his wife?? Bravo!!!!

As i was not allowed to speak.... Just when i was going to attack his foot... The receptionist interrupted us...

"Sir it seems like we have plenty of rooms available... Do you have any preferences?? "

Yup....i prefer you to not disturb me!!!

But stefan probably had something different in mind

"Yes...it would be a real pleasure...if you could get me room number 243 or any room close to it...its kind of my lucky number...?"

Lucky number??? What the hell is going on here???

"How fortunate sir!!... Room 243 has just been checked out... Just Give us 15 minutes...to clean it... Then you can have it... Untill then you can wait in the lobby...and i will bring you some papers to sign... "

Just as we began to descend into the lobbyi whispered in stefan's ear..

"What are you trying to do?? Aren't we here to get your diamons back?? Then what's with this lovely wife and lucky number thingy?? "

Stefan chuckeld and whispered back..

Even his chuckle makes my heart skip a beat...

"Well you got the jist... We are here to get the diamonds back... But you know what?? In a reputed hotel like this... The staff does not let people meet the guests untill the guests permit them... And i dont think that carol would be delighted to meet us....i wonder why??"

He's right...i am so stupiddd!!! But i am never going to admit that!!

"And about the lovely wife part... I thought you were on this trip for some adventure... So i gave you one... A part in this lie.... I partner in my crime!! "

"Ain't i correct darling?? "

Darling???

Just when i was about to give him a snorkly reply the receptionist interrupted again.... And i understood the reason of him calling me darling... but no matter how much i convinced myself that he was doing this just as an act...i really had a strong feeling that he was enjoying it...

You are enjoying this too Livv..
