Head over Heels (ON HOLD)

Chapter.10

Rachel.

We were now standing infront of a huge ballroom. As soon as we enter we are greeted heartily by a good looking man in his late sixties.One which I recognize as Mr.Maxwell,the mayor. He is the mastermind behind this cruel act. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that the person ruling over a city is a paedophile and manages to act so clear infront of the camera and the law. Most of the people gathered around are people from well to do background. Such vile creatures should be forever erased from the face of the green earth. If it was under my control I wouldn't be anywhere near this man. I was feeling ill at ease and leaned towards Remo who was holding his hand behind the low of my back. My leaning closer to him meant as if I was drawing as much as confidence from him. His hand on my back did send sliver of chill down my spine but I was too intrigued by the man infront of us. Mr.Maxwell!

"Hello Mr and Mrs Styles, so good to have you both here." He plasters a fake smile on his face and extends his hand.

"The pleasure is all ours Mr. Maxwell." Remo says extending his hand for the handshake.

I was quite surprised when Remo agreed to help me in this matter. We continued to meet in the park and our friendship seemed to have been growing day by day. He didn't consider myself as a pitiful soul but as woman with her own voice and opinions. I was beginning to like his company and was happy in my own bubble.

I was so lost in my world that I was broken from my trance when Remo caught me off guard when he kissed me on my cheeks. His hot air fanning my cheeks which didn't help much to hide my obvious blush. Bringing his mouth to my ears he whispers, "Darling! He's asking you something". After a long pause he went on to say "Angel hold your head high and remember you are with me, take pride in it." He said by withdrawing back only to rest his hands on my hip.

I feel that he has taken his husband's role quite seriously that I am sure he is absolutely making hay while the sun is shining. Even I am not gonna back down from this role.

"Sorry darling I was so lost in my thoughts about us this morning. Aren't you a real naughty?" I kiss Remo back and I can make out that Remo is totally shaken beyond means by my kick ass answer. The startled look on Remo's face was worth it.

"Your wife is sure a beauty with brains." Mr. Maxwell winks at me only to get a death glare from Remo. Even though we were acting,we were so into our roles that it was really difficult to put a finger in our life as 'couple'.

We move ourselves into the room and I am surprised to see many gathered for such a menial act. Bile rises in my throat but I push it down. The ball room was decorated beyond means. A band was playing soft music on the stage. Drinks were served in one corner and food in the other. Remo's hand didn't flinch from my waist even for a second and I gathered courage from them.

"So why is it you need these kids Mr. Styles?" Mr.Maxwel asks.

"I am planning to start a drug business so I feel using kids can save my ass. You know police these days are just suspicious that they won't make poor drug dealers life easy. So I think kids can just keep us out of the reach of police and government." Remo says. He used the word drug and dealers with so much ease which made it look as if he was really one among them and it seems Mr.Maxwell too bought for his lie. I had to give Remo for his acting.

"Any age limit for it?"

"No I want all the kids you have,its a hell lot of a work you know." Remo says.

"I'll soon inform you. Till then please help yourselves." Mr.Maxwell replies.

"Mrs Style I would see you around soon." Mr. Maxwell says taking my hand in his to kiss it. I give my best fake smile ever. After he left I am busy rubbing the spot where he kissed. Before I could ask anything more about our plan,Remo pulls me into the dancefloor to dance along with others. He yanks me to himself and our chests collide,our faces are just inches away, his hot breath fanning my lips depriving me of any thoughts. His eyes held an intensity and I could make out that he was angry beyond control.
