The tiny sun beams tickling through the narrow slits in the window sill woke me up. The river bed and the adjacent garden looked lush green and fresh with droplets caressing them due to yesterday's rain.Tiny pink flowers smiled. I lay on Allan, I snuggle on him, he is really comfortable. I turn around placing my legs on either side of him. I gape at his flawless appearance. He appears really innocent in sleep his eyes closed, perfect nose, lips slightly parted. His white T shirt lay carelessly on his chest. His hair messed up, how much I desire to run my fingers through it. He looks extremely hot when he sleeps. I sat there examining and drinking every detail of him. I know it is just a midsummer nights dream meant to vanish as I am awake.let me enjoy it until it lasts. I wish to remain like this forever but only if I could.. He wriggled a bit, made me stare into him inducing the naughty nerve of mine to protrude so vigorously. His lips were of pale pink, I haven't seen him so close before. Did I tell you he had long lashes, he looks nothing less than a Greek god. A six two feet handsome kid of 24, pinned under me. I pulled the windows open the cold air rushed in, whisking his shirt. I bend closing in that nearly our noses touched each other. However near I go to him, he appears flawless. I wonder if god has taken extra care while creating him. I inch closer, so close I can feel the warmth of his breath as icy cold wind hitched in. It appears oddly comfortable....
Suddenly the large emerald green eyes unlatched. He opened his eyes.
His eyes met mine. His long eyelashes intertwined with mine. Our lashes hugged each others.
The brief silence followed by me suddenly pulling apart as realisation hit me like a lightning bolt. He gave me a grin of unwary satisfaction. I blush crimson at his stare. He tried to get up but clutched his back in pain. Yesterday's imperfect sleeping posture has lead to this sprain. I helped him up.
"you must have woke me up, if it was hurting "I asked.
"the comfort and satisfaction of keeping you safe and peaceful in my arms outweighs the pain of my bones"he said more to himself than to me.
there was a lot to read between lines but I didn't know it then. I was grateful for having him. Love and feeling of being cared for are indeed great perhaps it comes with a dire feeling called insecurity and fear you might lose this care you are getting now.
He just pulled me close, still one hand on his back. "I love you, though it might hurt us both in the process. "
I nodded.... Nothing he told made much sense I was mesmerised in his emerald green eyes.
"Elena,"he chortled... As I recovered from the haze. "Am I that attractive,that you can't take my eyes off me"
My ears turned deep red.
Suddenly I heard the door creak open and someone barged in.
Allan's secretary , how much I detest her that I always feel like ripping her throat apart perhaps the feeling is mutual she gave a scowl of utter disgust.
Allan looked at her annoyed and yelled "out"
"it's really important "she retorted.
"this is my personal space and you have no right to interfere "he stormed.
"you must stop being this filthy female "she cried.
"know your limits "he said annoyed.
"she is just a "she started.
"you are fired"said Allan coolly.
"you fired me for this scrawny bitch" she galloped.
"Mark"yelled Allan.
His bodyguard rushed in confused why he was summoned.
She groped Allan's shirt.
" sending five to six guys to attack my girl was no joke"he said strangling her throat.
"I have asked you to leave her alone, if she was hurt. I swear I would have killed you right here"he roared, his kind emerald eyes antagonised with fury.
"you are gonna pay "she said pointing her index finger at me.
"Mark"shouted Allan.
"I will leave, but don't forget one thing. I am not the only one who want her dead"she smirked.

We sat in silence in the breakfast.
"Firing a secretary is risky right Allan, she might know everything about you "I asked.
"I always desired to fire her, only thing that holded me back was the fact she was my cousin "he said.
"And now your family will hate me for being the reason why your cousin was kicked out. "he said.
"hey don't over think. Everything will be alright "he said.
His phone rang .he attended the call a frown rested on his face.
"I must go... I will be back in few minutes "he said speeding off.
Little did I know that few minutes meant twelve months.

"no blind dates Mikey"i cried "I already love someone "
"someone who is least concerned about you, someone who never provides you the merest liberty of using his name."Mikey cried.
"he hasn't called her for an year now"linda growled.
"Linda please" I say longingly peering on to my phone.
"this is what you did the whole year, waiting for his call"mike hissed with fury.
"mike, let's drop this topic. How is that new girl from English major who you were dating? "I asked.
"she was just a fling. Don't try to divert me Elena "he said.
"mike, I love him period. And I can't go out with anyone else "I said storming off into the lawn.
"please, I told him you would come. He will kill me if you don't go.... Please "he begged.
"no"i said.
"Elena, please he told me if you go out with him he will get me an internship. Please.i am on my own I desperately need it to survive. My parents aren't paying for anything anymore as you know"he pleaded with remorse.
"okay"i said "make sure you come with me and position yourself where I could always reach out to you. If anything goes wrong, consider yourself dead"i said.

I wore a bottle neck purple shirt and a blue jean. I wasn't on a date so just a tinge of pink lipstick was all the makeup I adorn myself with. . I wonder why that guy wanted a blind date with me so desperately. Will it have something to do with Allan? I am pissed off with Allan already but I gulped in agony.
I walked into the expensive restaurant with Mike. Mike sat two tables away and gave me a thumbs-up. I nodded nervously, I am doing this for Mike's career and Mike is nearby. Nothing will go wrong.

I sat there as the nerves hitting me like hailstorms and indeed literally devouring me every passing second.
A lean tall blond guy smiled at me. I am Christian, I am your date I suppose, he smiled.
I grinned as perspiration kindled me. I have seen this guy he belongs to those elite rich folks in college. Those kind everyone admires, the cousin or brothers or sisters of great influential people.
"I am glad you turned up, it is really hard to even speak to you "he said .
The guy in front of me was fair blond with his hair tied into a small pony behind. He had small blue eyes. He was elegant and handsome in rich classy way with his expensive suit not naturally breathtaking as Allan or Mike. If I was not acquainted with Allan or Mike I would really consider him stunning .
I glanced at mike who gave me a faint smile which I returned back.
"hey" Christian called out
"sorry, I might have spaced out, what were you saying "I asked.
"you are really beautiful, but very less outgoing "he said.
"well thank you, my boyfriend doesn't like me going out with guys"I said.
Suddenly a message appeared on my phone.
Allan :I never asked you not to go out with guys
I gazed around startled.
"Are you okay? "he asked.
"yeah" I replied.
"you don't go out with anyone rather than Mike .are you both together? "he asked.
"he is just a good friend "I said"my boyfriend is a busy business man he can't come every now and then. "
"you are lying girl. I have hacked your phone and all you speak to is to your parents, Linda, mike and occasional texts to your some girl friend and sometimes with a girl working in Hawthorne international. That doesn't mean you have a boyfriend "he said.
"excuse me"i stated annoyed.
"who gave you the right to hack my phone and I do have to appreciate your grit to confess it to me. "I lashed out.
"why in the world are you doing all this? Who are you? "I asked trying extremely hard to remain tranquil.
"I told you I am Christian "he sneered.
"What do you want"i asked.
"I am just a well wisher Elena, I heard something that disturbed me badly. I might be a stranger but I have risked my life to let you know something. Now listen to me carefully"he said now his voice turning into mere whispers.
"be careful, there are people here in the college plotting to kill you and I am not sure why. But I don't want a beautiful and innocent girl like you ending up dead. The tangles here are too deep and complicated. Be careful beautiful. You are too beautiful to die. "he said.
"but why should anyone kill me"i shrieked as fear throbbed me hard.
"I don't know dear, I really have no idea. But if both of us are alive next weekend will you come on a date with me. "he shrugged.
I looked down.
"can we order something? "he asked.
He was quite a gentleman. He was witty and charming. At last he kissed my hand stating" if the circumstances were different, I would have proposed to you here. But since you have a boyfriend "he smiled....
I smiled weakly. The gravity of his words were seeping in. There is someone out there who desperately want me dead. It might be Allan's secretary but I am not speaking to Allan at all.
That made me remember the text. I reply
Me:where are you? How are you?
No reply. Mike rushed to my side.
"hey, how did it go? "
"he was quite a gentleman "I said. But my mind was racing with innumerable questions about who might want me dead.
