Smile

He wasn't supposed to say that. No one is supposed to say that to me.

"I wear gloves, have black everywhere for a reason. I don't believe in god. That fucking statement 'whatever happens, happens for good' is utter bullshit. There's nothing like karma either for me.

Black or the dark color resembles my dark life. That shade tells me I don't deserve any color in my life. My past that I don't want anyone to go through. Not even my enemy. "

He said and sat down at the table in the corner. He was facing outside.

The moonlight made him look beautiful. Those locks shined under the light. My hands itched to tug them back to their place. I just wanted t reach there and hold him.

"Let me tell you the reason for everything I just said" He cleared his throat and clenched his fists.

"I was- "

Before he could proceed further his phone rang. He picked up the call and clenched his jaw.

"I'll be there," he gritted.

"I'll be gone for a few days I guess. The spare key is on the table" his jaw still clenched.

What was happening to him?

What has happened to him?

We both stared at each other.

"I'm I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hold you back. Go" I pushed him a bit and dried the tears that were about to leave my eyes.

I breathed in and out. And smiled.

"See, I'm fine. Go now. Don't worry about me" I tried my best to not break down again.

"Get ready" he said and stormed off the library.

I turned and observed the library for the last time and went back to our room.

I ran to the closet and took out the appropriate dress.

I turned around and saw in a black hoodie and black pants.

"Move"

Rude.

He threw his black hoodie at me. "Wear that and one of your pj's. I'll be waiting down" he said and left I quickly wore his hoodie and black pj's. The hoodie smelled like him. Duh!

I loved how it smelled though.

"I'm ready" I panted.

He mumbled something about me being unfit. I was fit.

The pooch was the sign that I'm healthy. I patted my belly and mumbled some 'love yous'

"Come on" he grunted.

We sat in his car and drove off.

"We both are wearing all black. Real buddies" I raised my fist, but he didn't connect his.

Meanie.

"What soap do you use? Can you lend it to me for a day?" I asked eagerly.

He glared at me and I shut my mouth instantly. After a few minutes, I tried to lighten his mood.

I intertwined our hands and stroked his.

"I trust you. But please drive slowly" his lips quirked up.

He hit my head with our intertwined hands.

"Shut it, moron"

After some strokes on his hand and agonising wait we reached a building. It was white in color.

Surprise Surprise

He opened the door for me to step out. I suppressed any question or comment I had and we entered with hand in hand.

The moment the giant 6''4" entered everyone silenced. Lots and lots of males. They all stood up and I did one thing I could.

Slowly removed my hand from his and backed away.

Jeez!

I'm socially awkward. In Fact during the shopping, I have my head down all the time. I don't know how to initiate a conversation with people and if I do, I can't sustain them, neither a conversation nor that person.

I was breathing heavily as I crouched down and hid myself behind his car.

I was outside the passenger seat with my back on the door.

I needed to get the things out of my head.

'Hey freak.'

'Bitch where's your dad?'

'Mum dad left you, poor girl'

'Hey whore. How much for tonight'

"C-Count with me. One, Two.." I remembered his words and started counting.

I won't let my memories control me. Not everyone's the same. He won't let anything happen to you.

You're a strong and a beautiful angel.

Someone held my shoulders and I screamed.

"G-get off off me" I stuttered and tried to get away from the person.

"Stop. Shh. Amor, I'm here. Shh. Breathe" he took me in his lap and guided my head on his heart.

"Why are you scared? Tell me" he cupped my face and sat down with me.

"A-alot of pe-people" I gasped again, trying to breathe.

"Didn't I promise, nothing will happen?" he continued.

"You you did"I fisted his hoodie in my hands.

"Do you know what's Petrichor?" he asked and softly massaged my scalp.

"Yes" I said trying to focus on him and his actions.

"Explain me"

"It-it's the earthy smell during the rain," I said softly.

"So do you like it?" he asked and raised his brow.

"Do you like the rain, Amor?" he added further.

"Not much. It's problematic at times"

"Can you explain?" he took my hands and rubbed them. Blowing air and heating them up. Even though I had gloves, I was cold. My anxiety attacks get me cold. Gloves are not enough then.

"When it rains rains a lot, you you get stuck and it's it's problematic. Y-yeah," I said and nodded.

"That's it?" he asked.

"Yes"

"Why don't you watch movies?" he opened the door of the car and took something out from the back seat.

"I don't find them fascinating. Documentaries are way better" he draped the coat around me.

"Do you trust me?" he asked

"I-I do" I nodded frantically.

"Does that mean if we go in you'll not freak out and hold tight on me. Not let me go and not be scared?" he asked.

I whimpered. I didn't want to.

"I'm scared" I uttered and held onto his biceps.

"We are together in this, amor. Together as in you and me both" he caressed my cheek and laid a soft kiss on my lips.

"I-I'll try" I stuttered.

"We are together in this" he firmly said.

"Together" I replied confidently. He had now picked me up on his back.

He rubbed my legs and I kept my head in the crook of his neck.

My body was exhausted from the previous event. He entered and I heard certain gasps and murmurs.

'Boss is touching her' was the only thing I could understand.

Well duh!.

He took me to his office and I saw a blue interior. No, not a 'dark' blue, it was navy blue on a few of the walls and it looked really good.

The last thing I felt was a kiss on my forehead and a blanket being draped around me.
