And I Owe It All To You

The Wound

I looked at him and he was still holding my fingers and He was looking down as if he was afraid to look at me.

"Kevin..." I softly said.

He looked at me.

"Can I see your hand... Please..." He got uncomfortable first, then he stared at into my eyes and nodded. He pulled out his hand to show me.

His hand was in bad condition. The cut was so big I can literally see the blood gushing out, which was wrapped under some sort of dirty piece of cloth. That was definitely a curtain. Looking at that a tear slipped from the corner of my eyes.

He pulled me into his arm hugging me tightly. I felt nice in his arms. He was moving his other hand in my hair, I was still sniffing.

"Kevin, I don't know about you but this is hurting me... Can I clean this wound?." I asked him sincerely.

He released me from his arms. "You don't have to worry Sam... That's nothing new. I have learned to take care of these things on my own. Trust me..." He took my hands back into his.

"Yeah... I know by pouring liquor and tieing some curtain clothe which may not be washed for ages." I snapped at him.

He laughed. "How do you know this Sam?"

"Have you forgotten Kevin, God has given me two eyes and a nose."

He pressed his lips trying not to laugh. "Okay, you win...do whatever you want Sam. I am all yours."

He surrendered his hand into mine.

I ran toward my to bag, and pulled out mini first aid kit. He was surprised seeing it. 

"Why on the earth you are carrying this box..."  He asked me and smiled.

"Shhhh... let me do my work first." I removed the clothed.

"Okay so this may burn and can hurt you... But I promise I will be quick." I took the cotton and started cleaning the wound with Dettol.

"Take your time girl I am not in a hurry." Then he winked at me.

"Stop it... Kevin, you are disturbing me."

"Ohhh, Sam, you have no idea... I have already thought about many different ways to disturb you..." He was smiling and biting his lower lip and my butterflies started making a beeline in my stomach.

"Shut up... Kevin... let me focus and stop looking at me like that." I snapped at him.

"Ohhh like what... Please enlighten me." He said in his teasing voice.

I decided to ignore him and tried hard to focus. He was playing with hair by his free hand. I was almost done with cleaning the wound. I applied some creame and started rolling bandage around his hand.

"Do you keep this first aid with you everywhere?" he asked with curiosity.

"Nahh... it just.. whenever I go out. I feel... Ummm I am sort of... prone to accident. Okay, I am done with my final touch Mr... You are good to go now."

The door got opened with the bang. Shit, he closed the door but didn't locked it and Anisha was standing there fuming like a wild cat. She looked at Kevin and she was waiting for him to look at her.

But he kept staring down then she left slamming the door behind her.

I startled and my world class balancing gave up, causing me to fall and there... he plunged towards me and pulled me back. We both thudded on bed and we were laughing. He looked at me with intense gaze that melt me in seconds. I was feeling nice but I was not able to bear his weight.

"Ummmm Kevin..." I was barely able to talk now...

"You are crushing me I can't breath..." I told him.

He rolled "Ohh... I am Sorry... So sorry... He shifted and got up quickly."
