With Love to cat from fin

CHAPTER 27

We spent the rest of the evening eating brownies while we talked about our families and college, we laughed talking about samrat's childhood adventures, Granny ordered us to leave after dinner, i called up my mom and said that i'm eating dinner out, she said okay and so we proceeded to prepare dinner, Granny made us a typical Irish stew for dinner with beef and potatoes, it was soo delicious that i and samrat almost licked our plates clean.

We cleared the table, i followed sam into the kitchen "sam when will you tell her?"  i asked placing the plates in unwashed dishes, he bent down opening a cabinet and took out gloves, he handed me a pair  

"i plan to talk after this" he said squeezing the soap onto the scrubber, i nodded while wearing the gloves, 

"And when will you tell me about those bruises all over body?" i said placing a hand on my hip, he slowly started turning away from me, i sighed and continued to wash the dishes, fine if he doesn't want to talk, i don't need to know, why should i be concerned about him, he is the one facing pain, let him be.

"i fought with ethan that night after you went home" he rushed out without looking at me, 

"what?!" i yelled in surprise, 

"fiona are you okay?" granny shouted from front room 

"yeah gran, we're fine" he said signaling me to calm down, i was no where near calming myself, i felt mixed emotions about it, i first felt scared why would he do that? i mean what if ethan grudges over it, oh come on girl, that shit deserves it my inner voice said and also i felt happy cause i always wanted someone to kick his ass for me.

"why would you do that?" i asked trying to contain my excitement, 

he gave a amused look "no one gets to walk away throwing empty threats at you" he said in a serious tone, i gaped at him "also he was the one who started it, i just finished it for you"  he said handing me the bowls, 

"what!? why did you fight him when you knew they're just empty threats" i said containing my laughter, i was soo excited to hear someone kicked him 

"i didn't like the way he looked at you and i....i don't know i just..." he sighed without saying any further 

"really?" i said barely containing my laughter "seriously, he deserves it though" i said laughing out, 

"yeah and you should have seen his face when i punched him and pulled his red hair" he said laughing with me, 

In stopped laughing "then why were you mad at me that day?" i asked in a low voice, it came out as a whisper 

"no, no i wasn't angry at you, that day....it just.....fiona look at me" i flickered my eyes to his, "i wasn't mad at you, i was worked up over the fact that he left talking all rubbish and i was just......listen i really wasn't mad at you, sorry for behaving like that on that day"  he said looking sincere 

"you made me feel like i have done something wrong" i said  

"sorry" he sighed out, i nodded with a smile, we have done the dishes talking about his fight and placed the dishes in the cabinets. 

"thank god i thought you would be mad at me if i say this so i tried to change the topic every time you asked about these bruises" he said removing the gloves, i took both of our gloves and clipped them to dry off, i sensed him standing behind me "i thought"  he paused as i turned to face him, we were standing close, dangerously close to each other, my heart started beating at a abnormal pace  

"yes?" i breathed out "i thought you would be mad that i hurt him" he said, i looked into his brown eyes, 

"no, i'm happy, i'm happy that you're not seriously hurt, i'm happy that you fought him for me" i said tracing the scar on his left cheek, he leaned in to my touch, we stood there looking at each other.

Granny cleared her throat coming into kitchen, i withdrew my hand and hurriedly walked out of there, i placed my hands on my cheeks, hot, i felt so hot, god what's happening with me?  

samrat came out after a while and sat next to me, granny came out smiling to herself, she looked happy with our visit, "Gran come sit with me" he said patting the place next to him, i stood and walked to the other side as granny sat next to him, samrat took her hand into his and said 

"Gran, the real reason i visited you today is......" he paused and looked at me, i nodded encouraging him "actually gran, dad had a mild heart attack recently"  he said gripping her hand tightly, 

"he's fine now, no need to worry, i'm here because dad wanted me to personally visit you and say you that, he's sorry and he really regrets hurting you regarding their marriage and gran, dad's parents have died a long time ago, you're the only elder we have, please forgive my dad and come visit us granny"  he finished looking into her eyes, 

she sniffed and said "this is the problem with your parents, they think i'm still angry at them, how can i be angry at my children, they have given me such a sweet handsome grandson" she chuckled with teary eyes  "i'm just spending my time with the memories of your grandpa, here i feel more comfortable" she said caressing his hand "tell them that i'm not angry at them, tell them that i'm living happily, tell them that i love both of them, will you?" she asked looking into his eyes, he nodded and looked at me "And i'm soo happy that you visited me today" she said taking my hand in hers, 

I nodded "granny, is it okay if we visit you more often?" i asked hesitantly, "of course child, i would love to have you here" she said smiling at me.

We talked for a while and stood up to leave, i packed my dress in the bag and Granny gave me extra layers of cloths since it's cold outside, we hugged her and bid goodbye's to her.

"she likes you, i knew it would work" he said unlocking his car,

"stop it, she was so sweet to us, she is nothing like you said" i said getting into car "she even let me borrow your mom's clothes and she was so kind to us" i said  

"yeah, yeah but thanks for today" he said starting engine, i smiled "i should be the one thanking you, i had nice time today" i said.

While driving back home he got a call and he put it on speaker "hey, jerm"  he answered 

"hey man where are you?" aedion answered 

"aedion, i'm on my way to home, what's up?"  sam asked  

"nothing just wanted to check on you, is fiona with you?" aedion inquired 

"yeah"  he answered 

"how did it go?" aedion asked, before samrat could answer we heard a shuffling sound "hey, bud" jermy shouted in phone "getting her to meet your family already? you're too fast sam" jermy said, 

"careful jerm she might hear you" aedion said in the background 

"i did" i said looking at samrat who sat with a blank face "shit" someone swore and i heard some shuffling before aedion spoke "he was just joking fiona don't mind him" 

i hummed in answer, "so how was your day?" aedion asked ever so politely 

"good, we're heading back home and he's driving, should we call you later" i answered

"yeah sure, see you later" he said and hung up. i turned to face samrat who sat silently clearly embarrassed about the whole situation.
