Head over Heels (ON HOLD)

Chapter.9

Remo.

"Breathe in. Breathe out." I have been telling this mantra for an umpteenth number of times to Rachel. We were in one of the powder rooms of a five star hotel named Cavallos.

Yes, as you can see I accepted Rachel's proposal which earned me quite a few names from my brothers and I became the centre of their mockery for a few days. Fabiano saved my back and promised to supervise the whole mission. God, he might have seen the grit in my eyes to help Rachel. Since he is committed to Gia he might have assumed something like that between me and Rachel. Naah there isn't anything between Rachel and I. Or there is Remo. My mind messes with me sometimes.

Fabiano made the game move faster with his influence and we got an invitation from Mr. Maxwell as Mr and Mrs Styles. We had to change our names and act as a couple. Not that the idea of acting as a couple with Rachel pisses me but I wanted to keep her out of this. I didn't want to involve Rachel in this,but was reluctant to.

"Remo! I am not sure if I can do this. See this dress itself." She sighs pointing to her shrimp red dress. It had a dip right between the valley of her ripe breasts,which was begging for my attention, her flawless skin flashes from behind as it has a very deep V cut leaving me to my wild imaginations. The slit that ended right above her thighs. Fuck it was driving me insane I was already turning hard on seeing her. What would it feel if I am to take her and drive her crazy with each thrust? Damn it!

I was standing near the door frame admiring her curves which was driving the shit out of me. I move forward and manage to control the caveman in me. I unclip her hair,which makes her lustrous waves to fall back and hide the flawless skin behind. I like it when she leaves her hair open, it adds to the overall beauty of my girl! We both stare at each other through the mirror placed infront of us. I hate the idea of other old fuckers seeing her in this dress, but the mission demanded it.

Her breathing seems to fasten by the passing of each second! I remove my right hand from my pocket bringing a chain out of it. I carefully remove her hair from the right and move to the left shoulder. And place the chain around her neck. My fingers wanted to linger around her neck for few more minutes but I ignored the dirty callings behind my head.

"This is for you. It's no ordinary locket,it has a bluetooth and a camera connected to it so that we can record your movements and if by any chance you are in trouble I'll come rushing to you. I promise."

I can't think anything happening to Rachel so I myself asked Alessio for the making of such a locket.

"Promise?" She asks with doubt and fear dancing in her eyes.

I take her right hand and place it right above my chest to make her feel my heartbeat. Her fragile hands were trembling under my coarse ones.

"I promise you that whoever fucking tries to come near you or even dares to raise the tiniest of his finger against you he will fucking die by sword. And that sword will be me, Remo Falcone."

Her breathing seems to have come back to normal. She closes her eyes and leans against my chest.

Damn it!

It seemed that she sucked out every last breath out of my lungs filling it only with her innocence and fragrance. I was a bomb about to detonate any moment.
Gathering my courage, I began to soothe her by running my hand through her hair.

"Thank you Remo. Thanks a lot for coming out and helping me. It means a lot to me." She smiles and I nod.

"If this mission is to work out, I'll give you anything you will ask me for." She declares.

Did I hear her right? Or am I still in my own happy bubble?

"Anything?" I cock my head at her.

"Yes, it's my word." She winks.Oh Fuck! She has no idea what I would ask her.

"Okay. That's a matter to be discussed later. We'll look into it." I wink back at her.

"Now let's move before the assholes gets out of our hands."

"Wait, just let me give a final glance at my makeup." She chuckles and moves to face the mirror.

"Oh Cara, since you have the luxury of being beautiful you don't have to bother. Trust me very few are as fortunate as you are Angel!"

She seems to digest what I said before and light dawns upon her as she walks towards me poking a finger against my chest.

"Don't tell me Mr.cage fighter that you have read the After series." Her eyes widen as if she can't take the fact that I just quoted from the After series.

"Would you believe me if I say yes?"

"Oh come on Remo, I can't believe you reading a teen love story." She throws her arms up in the air in disbelief. She laughs to her hearts content as if she cannot comprehend what I just said. Does she feel that it's not something plausible for me to read After? Really?

"Whoa! Whoa! Easy there lady. Even I too was a teen once."

"But still I can't believe it Remo. You know what? I am a die hard fan of Harry! His bad ass behavior just ignites the flame in me man! I was literally 'after high' after reading it. I couldn't contain myself."

"Yah. I read because I like reading but this book took me to another level and soon it became my obsession. I could clearly see myself in Harry. We are just the two fucked up souls."

"But he found his Tess. So will you Remo. Your Tess might be waiting for you somewhere in Vance House or in SF." She nudges me with her elbow. I wish I could tell her that my Tess is standing right infront of me. But I can't promise her my heart, because it was already sealed by the devil.

"Thanks Remo." She squeezes my hand.
"For making me feel at ease. You know to pull me back at the right time." Her eyes sparkle.

"You don't have to thank me for every small stuff. Since you said we are friends I don't give a damn about your sorry or thank you or any sort of pleasantries."

"Don't you think that you swear a lot Mr.Harry Styles?"She pouts. Making me hard again.
Haha! She was coming up with different names for me. I like though!

To this comment of hers I can't help but laugh. She is too innocent for me and I don't bloody deserve her man. She's too good..too good for me.

The look that she gives me has become like some sort of addiction. An addiction in which I wanna drown myself more and more into it till I get the best out of it. When I tell her how good she looks on our way out of the powder room, she mouths me a 'thank you', to which I just roll my eyes.

This girl!! She is gonna be my addiction, my obsession and what all not?
