Her Black

3.

After meeting Anna was tired as hell. Today's events were taking toll on her. So much that she have to cancel all further meetings. She didn't knew how she maintained to stay calm during meeting. He was not changed. She could see how Denial's presence in room was affecting him. When she saw him she felt like crying. She felt like begging him to just tell her what she did to deserve this. Didn't she loved him enough? But, there was no sense of asking those questions now. When he was holding her hand her legs almost gave up on her. She knew Denial sensed her uneasiness. He was continuously asking questions which she was not ready to answer. So she did what she always did the best, ignored him. She left for home early.

Now she was finally making her way to her apartment and was ready to face the inevitable. Opening the door she entered in her apartment and moved to the refrigerator for something to drink. The moment she stood straight after grabbing her bottle, she smelled all too familiar scent. Next, strong arms were wrapped around her. She audibly gasped even after expecting it. His touch was doing things to her and she couldn't help it. She could almost feel him breathing down her neck. That soft tickle was doing some crazy things to her. After composing herself she somehow was able to force out the words "Mr. Black.."

He visibly stiffened at that. Craning his head sideways he whispered "Hmm.. Mr. Black.."

Moving back he nudged her neck with his nose softly "Hmmm???.."

Anna's eyes closed for time being. Her brain was trying to control her shiver and her heart was trying to absorb every bit of that feeling. She was conflicted about her own next move. All the while Black was moving his hands down her covered hands softly. Just before he could reach her wrist she snapped out of it and forced him away from her. She can't allow him to see that wrist band. It will make it clear that he still owned her soul. She can't have it. Her breathing was harsh.. it was not going as she had planned. She knew he will come to her apartment. She knew him too well to not expect it. Of course it was not his first visit like that. Ahhh.. it's painful how she knows him so well. It was sick.

Black stared at beauty standing in front of him, he could see the wheels turning in her head. He walked to the couch and made himself comfortable. He finally got time to take a good look at her apartment. It so smelled like her. But it lacked her touch, there was no pictures, no cats, he couldn't see any little cute antiques anywhere. It was almost lifeless. More like his own apartment. He still remember how she used to always complain about his apartment was too lifeless for someone like her.

He finally asked "When will you learn to close the door of balcony before you leave your apartment love? Bad people out there wait for such opportunities, haven't I told you before.. hmm? Do I need to tell you once again.. my sweet?"

This statement earned a sharp intake of breath from Ann. Old memories clouded her head once again. She have to get out of it. She didn't planned it like this. She was getting the thought that may be she was not ready to face him yet. She hated how weak she was. How her heart still yearn for his affection. How she wanted to just go to bed and cuddle with him forgetting about everything that happened.

She was struggling to say something when her mobile started ringing. Slowly making her way towards it she saw the name of Denny flashing on screen. Picking up the call she heard his worried voice.. which actually made her feel guilty. He cared for her and she always ended up behaving rudely with him. He was the only person she could call her friend now. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't noticed presence behind her.

Jonathan was done playing with her. Now he need the answers he came for. The moment he was going to ask her, her mobile started ringing. He saw that fond smile on her face while looking at the caller ID which didn't sit well with him somehow. For all he knew it could be from her family. Her family who refused helping him in finding her all those years back. He knew there was something wrong. He have been tracing their calls and moves since then. But nothing ever helped.

She was telling she was alright when Jonathan moved more close to her.

"No Danny you don't need to come here for night.. I am alright.. No no.. I am going to sleep now anyway.. No, I am absolutely fine. No.."

This was enough to make Jonathan crazy. She was with other man. How can she move on with her life when he was still waiting for her. No she can't. He won't let her. She was his and that will remain that way till she die.

Suddenly mobile was snatched away from her hand and was smashed on wall. This took Ann by surprise. She couldn't understand what made him do that. She felt the sharp pain in her head only to realise he was tugging her hair back.

"You are playing with fire there Ann.. How could you... This?? " He huffed and pushed her away like she was diseased. Like her touch will burn him.

Her mouth opened to say something then closed. She didn't know how and what to react. She was not able to comprehend the situation. This was too fast and uncalled for. So all she could do was stare at him and she did just that.. stared at him long and hard.

Jonathan's breathing was laboured. He was fighting his anger. He needed to leave before he did some serious damage. She was looking blankly at him which made one thing very clear to him. He was not going to get any answers from her. Not any time soon..
