Just A Step Away

Chapter 28

Katherine's POV:

I woke up with the major headache. I grabbed my head with my hands and groaned in annoyance.

"Why did I drink that much?" I asked to myself and threw blanket off.

WAIT.

Why the hell are you naked?

I became stunned on my inner self's question. What happened with me?

Soon flashes of previous night appeared in front of me. I was hell drunk, Darwin kissed me, I kissed him back, I went on top of him and started unbuttoning his shirt then- Oh God! We did that?

Soon my face turned red with embarrassment but then I started feeling both happy and guilty. Happy because finally I was together with Darwin. My Darwin. And guilty because we rushed things in my drunken state and I didn't even remember much of it. But all in all, I was happy more than anything.

"Darwin?" I stood up from the bed, while wearing Darwin's shirt as soon as I noticed it lying on floor. My cheeks again became hot and red as I started imagining the ways through which it got on the floor.

"Darwin, are you inside?" I asked while moving towards the bathroom.

He was not there too.

I decided to take a shower and change my clothes before going for the hunt for Darwin but as soon as I turned around, the door opened, revealing Darwin himself.

I smiled at his sight and walked towards him shyly, still not getting over the fact that we were all over each other the previous night.

"Good morning." I hugged him, taking all his scent in.

"Let me take a quick shower then we will go down to have a breakfast. I can't wait to get back home. I mean it is not like I'm complaining being together with you in one room but you know, everyone will be so happy-"

"Katherine."

"Fine, I'm doing fast. Look, I've already taken clothes out from the cupboard. Just give me two minutes and I'll-"

"Katheri-"

"Fine. I'm gone already. You-"

"Katherine enough." Suddenly his voice echoed in the room, making me stunned at my place. I gulped down my own saliva when I saw rage in his eyes.

"Darwin?" My voice came out too low yet enough for him to hear.

"Enough is enough. How long are you planning to take this drama of yours?" He said frustratingly.

"I don't understand. What drama?" I asked confusingly

"Please, stop it now. I can't take this anymore. You don't know what I'm talking about?" He asked in disbelieve.

"Darwin yesterday you were-" He again interrupted me.

"Wait. Let me show you something. I'm sure you will understand everything then.." I was standing there dumbfounded. He took out a CD from his jacket and walked towards the CD player.

My head started feeling dizzy and my heart beat was beating loudly. I was afraid as hell but I was curious too. I wanted to know what he thinks and what was there which was disturbing him and our relation.

Shortly some video started playing on the screen. I was confused to saw myself on the screen.

"Come, look at this." He grabbed my hand roughly and dragged me forcefully in front of the screen.

"I was so stupid, so damn stupid that I loved you, trusted you, and believed that no matter how long we'll stay apart, you will wait for me. Every day and night I used to think about you. I used to imagine your reaction when we'll meet, I insisted my father to take me to you for once. All I wanted was to see you for once. But then one day a courier came and look what I got that day." He said angrily.
