Coming out of his room, she looked around and realized that all this time he was staying next to her room.

Shaking her head out of disappointment, she marched ahead towards her room.

Reaching in front of her room, she tried to search for the room key card all frantically, but she couldn't find it. Gasping for air, she turned around and saw him leaning on the wall next to his door, looking at her all smug.

Getting all irritated, she shouted,

"Give me my room key back".

"I don't have it".

"Then call the reception to send me a duplicate one".

"Well, why should I listen to you? Apparently, I am someone who doesn't love you enough".

Saying that he gave out a shrewd smile.

She was getting late for her meeting and he had started to act all cocky. She thought for a while and then again stormed back to his room and called up the reception.

"Hello"

"This is the reception. How may I help you, ma'am?"

"I have lost the room key card for room number ..."

Beep Beep Beep

He stood there all nonchalantly after disconnecting her call.

"What the hell Raymond. I need my keys. Let me talk to the receptionist. This meeting is ...."

"Very important to you. I know that. So today morning I arranged for the duplicate key. It's on the bedside table over there. I was just trying to save some time of yours".

"Save my time? Wow, you could have saved my time by telling me everything right at the airport. But no, you had to act up. Her medical conference might be more important than my meeting. So go, run after her to the Imperial College".

"Wait a min !!!"

"What?"

"How do you know that she is here for a medical conference at Imperial College? I never mentioned it."

Akira got startled with his question coming straight out of the blue.

"I think you have forgotten. You told me about it today morning".

"Akira, I can't remember faces, but my memory is perfectly intact. So tell me, how did you get this information?"

"Are you worried that I might do something to her? Wao", Akira sneered.

"I will say this for the one last time".

"She is just a doctor and I have zero percent interest in her. I came along with her because you were coming to London. Plus I am her subject of study for her paper and many other doctors from around the world will be coming here to see my test results and discuss it. So I am not going to leave any stone unturned. I will do anything possible in the world, to have a figment of that memory that carries your face Akira".

Her heart just melted after hearing him say those words.

Her foot got sealed on to the floor.

He knew he had her attention. He knew she was getting captivated with his charm. But that was not enough for him.

He wanted all of her. He wanted the anger inside her to melt away. He wanted her to wither in his arms just like the old days.

So without batting an eyelid, with his gaze fixated on her, he started taking his steps towards her.

Seeing him approach all close with that intense look in his eyes, she asked,

"What are you doing?"

"I am trying to get your undivided attention", saying that he scaled the gap in between them and pulled one side of her robe down till her shoulder level, baring a bit of her chest and her shoulders.

That bite mark of his had turned her skin all bluish-red and with his slender long fingers, he started tracing the outline of the hickey.

It was starting to get all hot.
