CHAPTER 17

{Edited}

RUFI:

Sleep definitely was not on my side tonight as I tossed and turn even after midnight, pretending not to know why would be crazy. The evenings event still confused me.

It started with Ivan showing up at my door at 6:55 in that perfectly tailored shirt of his, it took me about two minutes to adjust to him in my living space.

"Enjoying the view?" He'd smirked when I met his eyes.

We then went to a Mexican restaurant to eat that gross looking yummy soup, we were suppose to head time afterwards when we almost kissed and I had a panic attack.

And he called me his ---Angel?

That's too much for a girl to digest in one night.

It was 12:45am and I lay down thinking how long it would take before  Ivan sees I'm dark and dirty.
Alarm blared from my phone and I turned to shut it, who sets alarm for 12:45 in----- Holy cow! 6:00am?

Am I dreaming?

When did I fall asleep?
.....................

RUFI:

"Good morning beautiful" Ivan greeted with that Boyish grin of his.

"Good morning" I'm lost here "Aren't you working today?"

"I took the day off, we were going to see that movie remember?"

At 8:30 am? Thank God Ana-Blaire wasn't home. I really need to talk to Ivan "Right"

"Are you ok?" He asked worried "And, can I come in?"

"Sure! Sorry" I stepped back "I'm fine, we need to talk, I need to tell you about something before you----" I fought my tears "I'm not who you think I am, I know angels but I'm not one" A tear dropped

"You don't have to tell me anything Ruf, I'm sorry if I pressured you last night. It won't happen again"

I had to fight my tears seriously "I like you Ivan, but I know when I tell you this you won't want to come near me again" I wiped my tears "you'll understand and see that I'm dark and dirty"

He was close behind me but he wasn't touching me "Go on Brown eyes, let it out, I won't leave no matter how messed up it is"

I hope so.

I walked over to the window so that we would have enough  space between us.

Then I recounted my past, every little detail, how my family neglected me, how I met Maria and the most important, about Ana-Blaire.

There was silence as I cried quietly. I told him everything I told only Maria. I had not told victor in this much detail, and now,everywhere was quiet.

I poured my soul out and I'd scared him, I couldn't turn back for fear he had left.

I warned him, I am dark and dirty.

He made me pour out my soul like I've never done .

"Where is she?" Thank Goodness! He didn't leave .

I turned around relief in my eyes! You didn't go?"

He stood from the couch and walked towards me with purposeful strides "I told you I'm going nowhere" he held my hands "you're not to blame for any of these, in fact  I wish I could be half as brave as you. A pregnant 14 year old with no one to turn to? Hell Rufi! You are an angel!"

I'm not! You don't get it.

"You don't believe me, do you?" He sighed "Baby look at me."
I obeyed, he looked me in the eyes like he was speaking to my soul, his hands slid to my back as he pulled me closer, holding me gaze he leaned forward , unlike last night there was no fear, just the sizzling sensation, I leaned forward without meaning to.
