Hearts in the Shadows

"Now as to my part of the bargain. You must arrange a date for me as well."

"No" he firmly said.

Furious I turned him towards me.

"What do you mean by no?"

"No, I won't."

"Why not?"

Silence.

I introduced you to Zoya. Now it's your turn to keep your end of the bargain.

More silence.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Some more silence.

Bewildered, I almost shouted, "Zain! I am talking to you, damn it."

In a quick movement, he turned towards me, his eyes red. He held me by my waist, pushed me against the walls, closed the space between us and smashed his lips against mine.
