My arch enemy

9

Rhea

He stood there looking at me with astonishment.
He thought I'll probably fight him and tell him to stay away from me, that I had every right to meet guys, date them and fuck them .
True, all of this was true.
And I should've done just that.
But isn't that exactly what he wanted ? To fight with me, to trigger me .
And secondly,
Do I wanted to talk to anyone ? Hell no!
He was doing me a favour if he was going to stick to what he just said.
He looked at me with an unknown expression, my breathes were heavy against his, we were so close and yet so distant.
The fact that I didn't run away the moment he touched me should've been my cue to actually run away, his eyes looked toxic, yet I wanted to drown in them.
His touch felt nice , even when I shouldn't.

Hell, my psychiatrist is going to freak out when I tell her about this.

For once in my miserable existence, I felt normal again , Even if we were anything but normal.

"I'll send someone to give you dry clothes, you wouldn't want to go home all drenched ." the realisation that he was going to leave made my stomach twist.
He side stepped me and was about to  leave when I caught his shoulder .
He looked puzzled.
I looked at him with puppy eyes...
He cocked an eyebrow.
"Why do you hate me?i can see how hell bent you are to isolate me from every human possible. What did I ever do to you?"I wanted to ask this question ever since I met him 5years ago.
But I was too scared to hear the answer.
There was flicker of an unknown emotion in his eyes before he turned it off and went back to his cocky self.
even though I would've normally passed out at his mere touch , instead, I felt safe.
Safe from the monsters out there.
Safe from Ishan.
But the only problem was that the biggest threat was Ryan himself.

" I don't owe you an explanation."

"Huh. Cool. Then I won't owe you an explanation when I crash my lips on Ishan's , when my -painful to look at face- as described by you, writhes in pleasure beneath him."
I HAVE NO CLUE WHY I SAID THAT .
But I wanted to squeeze out a response from him . Hate , jealousy, anything.

I watched him from my watery eyes, .I can tell when a guy is checking me out, and he's not doing that. He's more like assessing the damage he wants to inflict on me. I know his hatred for me runs deep because when he talks to me, every word is a blade, causing a shiver to roll down my spine. Instead of ending in my toes, though, it explodes between my legs.

Within a flip second, Ryan gripped my neck with his left hand, his fingers curled around my neck , applying enough pressure to make me feel uncomfortable, but not painful enough.
Our faces were merely an inch away , I could feel his minty breath on my cheeks.

Unexpectedly, his right hand drifted to my hip. It settled there and pulled me  closer. I  inhaled sharply. I was against his warm chest, chiseled to perfection. Must he be so perfect? I splayed my  hand against it, intending to push him away, but instead I left it there. His breathing quickened as did mine .

I hesitantly looked up at him. The swirls of emotion I saw there made me gasp. Lust and desire. However, before I could ponder about it further, he yanked me to him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. As our lips crushed together, I felt like i was walking on air. It was magic, the way his lips connected with mine. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than I could have imagined and I opened my mouth with a low moan.

He kissed me ravenously, Soft and slow and he tasted like November, like hot chocolate on stormy evenings and crisp autumn air.

His mouth disconnects from mine, and it takes me a few seconds to register what's happening.
"Here, this is me marking you officially as my pet. you see Rhea? I can kiss you , touch you , ruin you enough for any other guy , and still, you'll become a puppy when it comes to me."

"Now get the fuck out of here nem."

My body wants to freeze like a deer in headlights; the only thing that makes it possible for me to take a step back  is the fact that I refuse to let him see me cry.
"You're disgusting," I say Take a few steps back in shock until I reach the door of the shower.  Ryan looks like he wants to say something, but he doesn't. "Stay away from me from now on—I mean it!" I shout, and he closes his eyes.
I ran past the corridors , not caring about a bunch of losers  giving me awful looks about my apperance . drenched in water , messed up hair, swollen up eyes.

I walk as fast as I can to get out of building
, to my car, somehow managing to hold in my tears until I get inside my car . I reach my car and hop in , shut the door , rested my head on the steering and break into sobs. How could I be so stupid?
I knew he was going to hurt me again .
And I was stupid enough to let him.

That's his game, he will make me believe that he cares , in his stupid , fucked up way, he cares.
And then, Boom!
Destruction 101.

But I swear, he was not going to see another tear from me.

I changed my clothes at puma , bought a new pair of yoga pants and grey puma hoodie and headed straight to bhangarh, I missed that place like a limb .
I needed some air after what just happened.

🔹🔸🔹🔸

After sitting there and watching the skyline for almost an hour , I decided to call Ishan.
I had to call Ishan after what he just told me.
I shouldn't have reacted the way I did after knowing that he wanted to help me , but he couldn't.
I guess if I was forced to choose between my mother's life and Ishan, I am not sure if I would've stood by him .
But when the memories came back flashing, I couldn't hold back.
Now I am pissed at myself that I separated myself from him  all this time for no apparent reason, punishing both of us.

I took out my phone and called him, since I changed my number so he might not  recognise this number and probably won't pick up.
But I knew his number by heart , he was among my emergency contacts .

After the second ring he picked up.

"Hey, who's this?" It seemed like he was working out in a gym because he was panting.

"Hey" that's all I could say.
And that's all I needed to say.

"Rhea? Thank fuck . You called me? So that means you forgave me????" The excitement I'm his voice was so obvious. I could practically imagine him grinning like an idiot.
I smiled to myself.

" well, I can still change my mind. You'll have to bribe me with your mom's homemade cupcakes." God I loved his mom's cupcakes . I missed them all these months .
I know that she did leave hampers of those outside our place, but they never reached me.

"Only if you do my accounts homework."

"YOU WISH . Asshole!"

"I can't believe my best friend is back."
And just like that, everything became Normal once again .
And I ALMOST forgot about Ryan .

Honestly, I kind of like his arrogance.
