617 Words
After receiving the call from Darren,
Bianca's ground shook. She had just
met Alessandro this morning and was
functioning well except the burnt hand and now he broke his leg, how could someone be so careless?
"Umm- Henry let's fix the shopping for another day I have got emergency now." Bianca blabbered.
"What? But we have just entered." Henry
fired at her.
"Sorry, I have to go." She whispered and ran out of the boutique without hearing Henry.
She hastily got inside the cab and asked the
driver to get her to the destination. As soon
as she climbed out of the cab her heel stuck
on the driveway channel drain twisting her
leg. She immediately fell down and yelped in
pain.
"Ahhhh!!" She screamed and tried to open her heel.
Right in time a muscular hand helped her
to get rid of the heel. "Are you alright?" The
man spoke with concern.
Just then she had her eyes on him. He was
alright and in one piece. Wasn't his leg broken? "Your leg?"
"Forget about my leg but you have twisted or
might as well broken your leg. How can you
be so careless?" Alessandro screamed at her
in anger.
"I-I" She had limp in her throat.
"I am so sorry, did I scare you?" Alessandro
caressed her cheek trying to read her
emotions and she shook her lowering her
head down.
"Look at me, please." Alessandro lifted her
head meeting his. "See, I am sorry, I did not
want to scream at you but watching you cry
in pain made me angry not at you but your
clumsiness." Alessandro tried to reason to
which she blinked her eyes.
"What happened?" He asked.
"You apologized." She whispered.
"I did. It sure must be your magic." He
chuckled.
"I'm not a witch." She again lowered her head feeling embarrassed.
"No, you are not. You are my angel." He whispered. "Let's get your foot heal, alright?" He asked but picked her up anyway without
getting her reply.
"What are you doing? But your leg?" Bianca
tried to protest. "Nothing happened, don't worry. Darren
was lying." Alessandro replied. "And I wish I could kill him, because of him you are injured." He muttered.
"Why would he do that?" Bianca asked herself.
As they entered Alessandro's place, he went to his kitchen and brought an ice bag. He placed it on her leg and changed the position
from time to time.
He was fully concentrating on the work that
he did not realised when she fell asleep peacefully.
Just then he moved closer to her to get her
better view. He even took out his mobile
phone and clicked some photos and set them
as wallpaper. He smiled how cute she looked in photos but he could watch the beauty live
right now.
He slowly adjusted her pillow and covered
her with a warm blanket and started gazing his beauty, his universe. He studied every detail of her face imprinting it in his
memory. From the total number of moles in
her face to color of her eyelashes, from her
sharp jaws to thin lips, he noted every detail.
As the morning bird chirped, Bianca moved
to adjust her body to cover the light that
was poking from the window. Instantly,
Alessandro raised his hand blocking the
light coming to her face. The whole night, he had been admiring his
angel. By now he could even sketch her with
eyes closed.
When the clock struck eleven in the
morning, Bianca woke up hearing her
ringtone. She lazily picked up her phone just
to be yelled at, "Where the hell are you?" The person screamed breaking Bianca's sleep.
"Henry" She whispered.
