Her Black

2.

Denial was driving to the Black Enterprises where they were supposed to meet Mr. Black for meeting. Anna was sitting quietly beside him while playing with the black band on her wrist which was well hidden by the sleeve of her shirt. But he knew her too well.. she had this habit for as long as he could remember. Whenever she was upset or nervous she will always play with that blasted band. He had asked her on many occasions about it but she always ignored his questions. The thought makes him sick that this wrist band belonged to a men, he didn't like the thought of her keeping memory of any men near her other then himself. It makes him want to do things he promised he will never do but he could never do that with his Anna, with himself. She was too important for him.

He had stopped denying the fact long ago that he had fallen hard for this women sitting beside him oblivious to turmoil going on in his heart. He was madly in love with her and that could be clearly seen in his eyes by even onlookers, but Anna.. she never noticed. It was like she was in some trance where she couldn't see past her own little world and sadly he was not a part of it. Denial wanted her to come out of it, desperately wanted her to see his love, his lust, his passion and desire for her but didn't knew how to bring her out of it. He felt helpless. If he could he would grab her and shake her body till she acknowledge his love for her. When she will love him back! Sighing delightfully, woah! Such a beautiful sight it would be.

On one hand this ignorance of her irritated him beyond anything and on the other hand made him love her innocence even more. Everything about her drives him wild, but he was waiting. Bidding his time till Anna comes out of this God damn trance and becomes ready to move on in her life, with him. He will never force her. He was a man, he could wait for eternity if required, do anything until she was by his side. This thought made him smile, his sweet Anna.. even didn't knew, how much she have been growing more and more dependant on him as the days pass by. He made sure he was always around. She unknowingly was spending most of her time with him and he thrived on it.

Once they reached their destination, he have to actually shake her shoulders for her to come around and move out of car. Anna seemed very nervous which was so out of her character. He asked her if she was okay but she gave him her well practised fake smile and moved out of car and towards the building before he could say anything, while he was left to park the car. Guess he will have to wait to talk to her till this meeting ends.

Anna was anything but fine right now. She was very nervous. No matter how much she practised and planned this meeting, facing Black was not easy for her. It never was. He always had this ability to make her nervous with his mere presence. All the memories were coming alive again and it was almost getting hard to breath. Before reaching the reception she briefly closed her eyes and took few calming breaths. Once her breathing was under control and her face was once again devoid of any emotions she moved. Taking slow confident steps towards reception she asked for her appointment with Mr. Black. She was immediately taken to his office, as expected he was waiting for her. She once again traced her fingers across her wrist band and made sure it was well hidden by her sleeves. Taking one last long breath she entered his cabin to face him.

Jonathan was waiting for Ms. Pearce to arrive and get done with this meeting. Once the door of his cabin opened his whole world stopped. He couldn't believe his eyes. Those dark brown eyes were staring at him, same long black hairs were pulled up in neat bun, those full lips.. it was like a dream. It took him whole minute to realise that she had moved inside and was offering him her hand for handshake. He extended his hands and could feel the touch of her soft fingers on his.. he didn't knew what else to do. This all didn't made sense, he wanted to drag her to himself over his table and kiss her senseless, wanted to touch her to make sure she was alive and in front of him, wanted to ask her where the hell was she.. to ask why???

But he couldn't, he was in shock. All he could do was stare, stare at the love of his life, in her eyes. Then it struck like lightening to him.. there was nothing in her eyes, void, not even recognition. She was just looking at him like waiting for him to soak in this vary realisation. Now it made sense. Anna had taken her mothers last name "Pearce" which in itself was a proof that she was involved in all this. He was confused and was feeling betrayed at the same time that this was his Ann. It took everything in him to control himself and not pull her towards him and ask her why. It was too much.. he was loosing it. His anger was increasing per second. The moment he decided to act up on his instincts, door opened and a nerdy looking guy entered with the thick black trimmed glasses. But there was this dangerous aura around him, he was hiding his muscular build under his loose shirt Jonathan could see as much. His profession taught him so. Then this guys eyes moved and landed on Ann and he smiled, smile that boiled Jonathan's blood. This was the kind of smile he was very familiar with. The one which made him do some ugly things in past. The one which him wish to stand up and break his jaw.

Rather then acting up he decided to wait for the scene to unfold, there was too much going on and it was only wise for him to wait and see. The meeting proceeded and he tried to just keep discussion at bay so that meeting will not lead to any decision today. Later on this guy turned out to be her PA Denial Waterbrook. He observed her every movement, there was no denying that she is grown up now into a very attractive woman with the confidence that shouts 'Stay out of my path'. He didn't liked it even a least bit. He would have been impressed by it if here she was not sitting in front of him and behaving like she had never been in his arms, like she was unknown to the warmth of his body, like she never promised him to be there by his side always. He wanted to punish her for this. Denial's presence was making it even more hard for him, it was making him feel all that familiar jealousy which he haven't felt in last 5 years. His jealousy was going to rear its ugly head if this meeting will not be concluded soon and there was nothing he will be able to do. Luckily meeting was concluded in time and they will be meeting again to discuss the matter at hand. Not that he was ready to sale this company but yes he now have a reason to keep this discussion going and find out the truth. He was going to make sure that this meeting is scheduled soon enough.

But before all this it was time to give a visit to his lovely Ann and find out few answers. Finally the Deer was in the Lions den and now it was Lion's time to play!
