I Need You

13. Hard to resist

"It's okay I will eat this chocolate and have some milk. Just help me to get that cereal pack" I point my hand in the direction of the cereal packet. He comes to me and grabs the chocolate from my hand. I pout and look away. He pulls my chin so that I will be looking at him. He is trying so hard to hide his smile. He knows that I love chocolates. "No sugars and processed food till you recover completely." he says looking into my eyes. His eyes are so perfect. I love the way he looks at me.

"I am fine" I say looking sideways. If we stay like this for some more time all the walls I built will break. He pulls my face again making me look at him. He leans forward. He is just inches apart. His scent hitting my nostrils. It's hard to resist his eyes , lips , his scent and his hair. I am trying to calm me down.

" Then why did you fall trying so hard to reach the packet over there sweetheart" he says with a playful smile. My heart is beating so fast. "I couldn't recognize your voice" I lie.  "And you never call me angel. I am not used to  being called angel and I thought that guy who called me angel, broke into the house. And I was scared so I felt a bit dizzy and I fell back." now I say half the truth. When he called me angel the thoughts about my kidnap, John and then the way their boss tortured me leaving down bruises all over my hands and a cut on my neck.

A knot forms in between his eyebrows and he looks at me like he needs more explanation. "A guy named John, who was incharge of me when I was kidnapped used to call me angel." he still looks at me with his expression unchanged. "Was he the one who harmed you?" he asks with a frown looking at my bruises. "No, not him. He wasn't the one responsible for these bruises." I say. Seriously he wasn't the one. He slapped me when I acted stubborn. He cups my face with his hands and looks into my eyes. He leans forward so that his forehead touches mine. His lips are just an inch apart. I am trying so hard to resist myself from kissing him. "Sweetheart I want you to trust me. Just tell me what happened. I want to know everything that happened after you have been kidnapped." he asks in a soft and calm voice. 

He sits on the chair beside me and he holds my hand in his. I tell him each and every small detail. I wanted to tell him before but I was scared that he will kill them. He frowns in between when I say they hurt me or when I say he tried to kiss me. His body stiffens. I just put my other arm on his hands that are holding mine and rub it. He relaxes under my touch. "everything is okay D. I just need sometime to get over it." I say and my stomach grumbles. He lets out a soft chuckle and gets up.

 "I will make roasted chicken and chicken meat ball soup are you okay with it?" he asks me and I nod, he kisses my forehead and goes to the freezer. Just then I remember that we have nothing but chocolates and milk. "We don't have meat. We only have milk and chocolates." I say. He stops mid way and comes back to me. He pulls me towards him and I fall on his chest. I pull away and look at him confused. He just pulls me to the kitchen and says "There is no meat in that fridge but there is lot of meat in this one" he says opening a cabinet beneath the oven. There is a small freezer beneath it. "We separate meat from the other foods. So we maintain 2 freezers." he says bending down to take the meat from the freezer while holding my hand.

He starts preparing the dishes and I go and sit at the counter. I am still weak that I can't stand for a long time. His muscles rise and relax under his white shirt. He cooks with ease. I never knew that he can cook. I told him that I will cut the vegetables for the salad. But he doesn't let me do it. He sets everything on the table and goes to throw the waste in the dustbin. He frowns and looks at me. He just throws the  waste in the dustbin and comes back. He sits in the chair beside me. I am so hungry so I started eating. "Why didn't you eat dinner the last night?" he asks me with as serious tone. I almost choke. He hands me water and calls Stephen his personal bodyguard. 

"I told you to take care of her when I am not around and inform me about her. That means you should make sure that she eats and tell me when she doesn't. I have given you a very simple task. You couldn't do it" he was yelling at Stephen. I felt so sorry for him.

"Sir, mam said that she will wait for you. And she will eat once you come back. But you were drunk. So she took you to your room and stayed with you till the morning. We all thought that she slept. So we didn't want to disturb her. I am sorry. I will make sure this doesn't repeat again." I am so embarrassed now. I instructed everyone to keep quiet about last night. But he is in a situation where he needs to explain himself and he has done what he has to do. I slowly get up from the chair and head towards the kitchen.

He follows me to the kitchen. Confusion is written all over his face. His runs his fingers through his hair. "Did I say or do anything crazy?" he looks embarrassed and worried. He is so cute. I am trying so hard to hide my smile. "You didn't hurt me." I say and smile at his expression. he eases after seeing me. "But you said I am looking cute in that outfit" his cheeks flush with deep red. This man is making me smile like hell with his expressions. 

Later he comes to my room in the evening to tell me that he has some work and he will not come for dinner. "If  you don't eat your food you will have to deal with me in the morning. You have to eat it completely. Even if you leave something you have to face the consequences." he says with a playful smirk. "What kind of consequences?" I ask in a low and keep an innocent look on my face. "I will show you tomorrow. Just eat and sleep." he says playing with my hair. "Will you do one thing for me. Like a favor" I ask him "Yeah tell me" he says looking at his image in the mirror. "Don't drink today." I ask him pleadingly. He turns towards me "Yesterday I wasn't planning on taking alcohol. It was just accidental. I will stay away from it today." he gives an assuring smile and leaves the room. He is making it hard to resist him.
