Don 3: Heart's Desire

Chapter 5

Roma screamed at the top of her lungs but nobody could hear her. Everybody else was screaming as well, but for obvious different reasons. Don could feel her scream and tightened his arms around her, then turned her to face him.

Roma had the shock of her life just seeing him. His hair long, his beard unshaved, his dark eyes staring right into hers. He had a furious look that instantly turned into a dimpled smile, smirking almost. He then placed his index finger over her lips, giggling then his smile faded as his eyes scanned her, still holding her very tightly with his other arm. His hand then framed her jawline, holding her head steady.

They were looking into eachother's eyes as if there was nothing else surrounding them. She was looking scared and furious at the same time. Actually she was as confused as ever. The loud music and the bass vibrating made it all seem that more surreal. Was he really right there, in front of her, holding her? A million things went through her head as he was now caressing her lower lip with his thumb. He bit his lower lip as he looked at her lips desiringly.

Suddenly, totally unexpectedly, he felt her melt into his arms as she fainted.

Roma woke up, and she found it difficult to breathe, the wind was hitting her face waking her senses. She rapidly looked around and saw Don to her right, driving a convertible Mercedes SLS AMG.

He quickly glanced over as he felt her move 'Slept well?'

Roma chocked, she didn't even know what to say, how to react.

'Relax sweetheart, I can understand your excitement' he shouted so she could hear him. For some reason they were driving really fast and the wind made it difficult to hear anything, apart from the powerful engine.

Roma quickly grabbed her seat belt 'Nono! I wouldn't do that if I were you' he chuckled.

'Stop the car!' Roma tried to shout

'No can't do sweetheart' he quickly glanced over at her 'You see, if I stop' he paused as he looked behind him quickly 'Those nice policemen will catch us'

Roma looked in the rearview mirror confused

'And, as you know... Don ko pakadna mushkil nahin.... namumkin hai!' he said as he swerved the car unexpectedly, causing two cars to crash right behind them

Roma screamed 'What madness is this!!! Stop, stop the car!'

Don looked at her annoyed 'Why all the commotion?' You know how good I am at losing whoever is chasing me' he laughed

'Stop the car!'

Don continued speeding and almost hit a double decker as he topped a few cars.

She took off her seatbelt 'Roma!' Don sounded really angry 'Do you want to die?'

She tried the door but it was locked. 'I'll jump!' it was a convertible anyway

But Don outsmarted her as he pushed a button and within seconds the hood was covering them.

'Now relax!' he shouted angrily '... Please' he then added softly, in his unmistakable fashion.

He then heard the police sirens and accelerated, pushing her into her chair. She then decided to buckle her seatbelt back quickly.

'Good girl!' he pointed out

'Where are you taking me? What's happening?' she was seriously freaking out

Don sighed as if he wasn't even bothered trying to manage the traffic gambling both their lives while making his way through cars and taking sudden turns 'Blame your friend for this'

'My friend??'

'Yes, that girl... I took you to my car after you fainted'

He paused as he entered the sidewalk and honked for all the people to make room. Roma shouted.

'She followed us outside then called the police'

Roma was listening but couldn't even focus, they were passing people milimetrically. They were back on the road and they couldn't hear the sirens anymore.

'But you see, she doesn't know that I can't let the police get hold of me' he laughed

The police seemed long lost, and Don entered a multi-storey car park.

'What are you doing?'

But Don was speeding even here, floor after floor. He finally parked the car very neatly and rapidly between two others and got out of the car.

Roma didn't understand a thing.

He quickly reached her side and opened the door, leaned over her, unbuckled her seatbelt, and he took his time doing so. After all the speed chasing, it felt as if he was moving in slow-motion. She could feel his heavy breathing and could almost hear his heart beat fast, as the silence now felt unbearable.

'Challo' he took her hand gently pulling her out of the car.

Roma looked at his questioningly.

He stared walking rapidly, pulling her along, when she tried to stop 'Where are you taking me?!'

'I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise' he glanced over at her 'Come on' he said gently, as though there was no hurry 'I won't bite' he whispered leaning over, the pulled her along further.

He managed to drag her up a few storeys, while she was trying to break lose or stop him, but it was useless, he wasn't letting her go nor stopping.

He finally dragged her up a few stairs and on top of the building. She soon realized it was a helipad, and there was a helicopter waiting for them.

'What?! NO!' Roma shouted 'Don, you can't do this!'

Don pretended he didn't even hear her. The heli was ready to go, there was somebody waiting already.

'Sameer!?' Roma recognized him

Don smiled back at her.

When they reached the helicopter Sameer approached them 'Here' Don handed Roma over to him 'Please keep her quiet' he squinted then pressed on his ears mimicking the fact that he was tired of all her shouting and pleading.

Sameer laughed then grabbed her taking her onto the helicopter.

Don put on his headset 'Do you want me to sedate her?' Sameer asked as Don was going through final procedures before take-off.

He turned to look at her and laughed 'No need to do that'. Roma had fainted. Again.
