Apparently I Know You #Wattys2019

Chapter 4

We were always just that close
Wrist to wrist
Toe to toe
Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose
So how come when I reach out my finger
It feels like more than distance between us            -Rihanna

Munira's POV
Whatever you do,just don't look into his eyes.

Peering into his eyes
Playing in that ocean
Drowning in his waves
And suddenly lost

I snapped out of my thoughts and attempted to inch away from his chest but his grip was too strong.

"Um,you can let go now..." I spoke softly.
I kept my eyes trained on his neck,acting unfazed by his unwithering gaze.His adam's apple was bobbing up and down.

"If I let go,you might run away again..." His deep voice shushed my battering heart.
Munira,woman up!

"Kind of hard to do that when you locked the car door."
I wanted to make it sound like a retort but I whimpered instead.I was quite afraid of his notion.Why did he do that? A certain pair of menacing grey eyes flashed through my mind.I shivered.
No,not again...

His grip was tighter now.
"You know you'd actually sound saucy if you could even look at me properly."

  I could feel my heart thrumming hardly in my chest,the sound so deafening that it drowned out my shaky breaths.All I could feel was his hot breath fanning the bridge of my nose.

"Look at me."
His voice was stern as his rough finger tipped my jaw up.My eyes still didn't budge as I glanced to the side.
"Munira.I said look at me." He demanded louder this time,grabbing a fistful of my hair and drawing me closer to his face.

I still refused to listen and licked my dry lips.I felt his body tense.

"Unlock the door." I whimpered again.
Please don't hurt me...
"Not until you look at me." His voice was a mere whisper now and his hand was still clad around my fluffy sleeve.I could feel the warmth flowing from his skin.
His skin provided more warmth than all my jumpers and sweaters.My,my...
"I don't want to.I just need flowers." I whispered back,I peeked down to my clammy hands.

Suddenly,he let go of me and I heard the door unlock.I breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh no is he gonna kick me out? I don't even know where I am.
As I finally glanced at his face,his eyes were still fixated on me.He wanted to ask me something but he held back.
"I know a place where we can get those spider lilies..." He stated.
"Where?"

Dominic's POV
I glanced at her small curled up figure beside me.Her head was turned towards the window,her long mahogany curls sweeping against her chest.Her big eyes were scanning the streets in comfortable peace.She was acting like nothing just happened...My hold on the steering wheel tightened.

If she doesn't stop biting and licking her fucking lips...I swear I was gonna do that for her.

Why was she so afraid just now?Why couldn't she look into my fucking eyes?It felt great to touch her just now.Just imagine the feel of her skin if she wasn't wearing sleeves...I wasn't gonna let her leave the car.If she thinks she's gonna get rid of me with her snide remarks and attitude...Well then she's got another thing coming.

I pulled over to just outside my hostel.
"You live in a frat hostel?" She questioned with a tinge of shock.
  "Yeah why?"
   "I just don't peg you as a greasy-haired bookworm with tons of team spirit"
   "Oh so now you claim you know me?"
I added playfully.It felt nice conversing with someone for a long time.Well she wasn't just anyone though.
  My mind went back to us always exchanging Nutella sandwiches and Milo packets while playing Truth or Dare.
  I discreetly smiled.
   "Well your hair isn't greasy..."
   I chuckled.
   "I don't do the holding up three fingers and reciting stupid anthem thing 'in the heart of Jesus' shit.I'm not really into the frat stuff."
