Darkness

Riley's POV

" Can't you sit quietly?" He asked me.

" No, I can't. Who told you to call me here?" I asked.

" Just sit quietly. Don't talk and definitely don't make any noise." He said.

" I can't sit like that. That's a punishment." I said to him. He glared at me and I twisted my lips.

I was getting bored. Why had this guy called me to be here?!! I was just sitting here in front of him from 1 hour without doing anything while he was just checking piles of files. I sighed. I took out my sketchbook from my bag and started to draw random lines. I looked at it after awhile. Wow!!! Not bad!!! I really think I am extraordinary. I kept sketching my own. It gave me a of mind. I knew that I am talented but I come to know that I am more that talented. I am sketching in this kind of situation.

I was feeling bored now sketching these new clothing. I decided to sketch something else. I looked at the cabin and started to sketch it. It was fun to sketch things randomly. I was almost done when this Naga Viper came into view. I thought for a second then smirked. I sketched him as well. He was deeply in thought about something.

" You can stare at me. I won't mind. I know I am hell dashing." He said without looking at me. I rolled my eyes and completed my sketch. I closed the sketchbook.

" What were you sketching?" He asked me.

" Office stuffs." I said.

" Really?! Show me." He said.

" No, I won't." I took my sketchbook and shoved it inside my bag.

" Why not?" He asked me.

" I don't show my sketchbook to any outsider." I said and he looked at me sharply.

" Or your sketches are that ugly that you don't want to anyone to see that." He said to me.

" Whatever you think I won't mind." I said to him not wanting to create a fuss here.

I don't want to show my sketches to anyone before it is shown in the event. We are new in this platform. I don't want anything goes wrong for me. I want to keep it secret by any means. No matter what I will protect my sketchbook because it's GS's secret property. I will protect with all my might. Besides, this sketchbook has many random things inside. I will be embarrassed if it comes out.

" Why are you acting weird about that? It's just a sketchbook." He said.

" There are nude sketches. Do you want to see that?! Does your girlfriend know that you have a sick kind of mind?" I asked him.

" Then you are agreeing that you have a sick kind of mind?!" He asked me.

" I always had a sick kind of mind. I was born with that. But that doesn't mean you too have to follow me. I am a bi*ch. Are you a man wh*re?" I asked him. Hitting his button.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😜😜😜😜😜😜😜. He rolled his eyes.

" If you think I will believe your blabbering then you are wrong. I have researched on you as well." He said.

" How much of it you know about me?" I asked him. He smirked.

" More than you know about yourself." He said.

" Oh!!! Whatever. I am not an interesting thing to do a PhD on me. But congratulations that you did." I said." But still I don't think you could go that deep of it. Because people always keeps distance from darkness and I am darkness." I said.

" Riley Dowson, right?" He asked me. I gritted. I hate this name and I hate that woman. " The name was given after your mother's right? She left you just after you were born. Both of your parents remarried. Your grandparents raised you up. After finishing highschool you joined a local fashion house as an apprentice. Now after 5 years you earn quiet a lot I success. I am quiet impressed with this." He said.

" Finished?" I asked smirking at him. " Only this? But I have to say that you have tried a lot to learn everything about me but failed savagely." I said.

" Oh, really? Which thing I missed? Did I miss the part that you had a psychological problem before? Oh, I didn't miss it. I just skipped it intentionally." He said and I looked at him sharply this time.

" What do you want from me?" I asked him.

Who sent him?! Is he one of them?! I don't know. I just don't want to go back to darkness anymore. I don't want to be caged again. I love my life. It's beautiful.

" I don't want anything from you. I just want to be your friend." He said straight. I looked at him weirdly.

" Without any expectations?!" I chuckled. " Boys always have two meanings of friends. I don't know which one you are meaning. But I am really curious about it. Why do you want to be my friend?" I asked him.

" Not everyone are the same. And not every questions have an answer." He said.

" But I don't want to be your friend. I stay away from boys." I said. " Yes, I date with them then throw them away from my life. I don't need any obstacle in my life." I said.

" That's what I want to know. Why do you do that?" He asked me.

" My life my choice. I am not bound to answer your damn question." I said.

" Why don't you want to be my friend?" He asked me.

" I told you that I stay away from boys. Specially from them whom I can't use and hurt badly." I said. " As you are to dear to Nova I can't hurt you. This us why we can't be friends." I said. " I genuinely love some people whom I will never hurt ever. This is the reason we can't be friends." I said.

" Just for that or there is something else which you are hiding?" He asked me.

" Yes, my darkness which I am hiding." I said.
