Destiny's Fusion

Noticing me notice you

last night was nothing ordinary..

I thought it would be like any other night but it wasn't...

this night had someone sleeping next to me...

someone i had saved..someone i never thought or even imagined... i would come across..

but now she was there.. beside me..

taking small breaths as she drifted into peaceful and serene dreams blocking out the dangers of the outside..the soft breathing making the world stand still for me..

all the muscles in her face and body were totally at peace, the lines of her face were relaxed in slumber..

my eyes hovered over her soft red lips and i gasped.. touching them would just feel like touching fresh roses but without thorns..

she was a lot different from other girls I had encountered in my past.. not because she was an Indian but it was the way I felt being with her..it wasn't me.. at all..

someone new..someone i hadn't believed ever existed.. with these unexplained thoughts I dozed off as well but with an intense urge to see her again when i wake up..

But that didn't happen because as soon as i opened my eyes...I found myself alone in my bedroom.. there was nobody beside me or even in the room..

I got up quickly and rubbed my eyes..

my breathing got heavier..where is she!

she was just there with me when I slept.. I hurriedly stepped out of my room..did she actually leave I mean what! she didn't like my place..

th-thats not possible!..she liked it..she said so herself..then why would she leave!

i don't get it..

i looked inside the bathroom but no one in their too..shit! now where am i gonna find her..

where are you Roop?!..

I frantically walked past the kitchen into the living room but then..

suddenly noticed and took a few steps back until i was standing at the entrance of the kitchen..

bumping my back against the wall i gave a sigh of relief and my crazily beating heart relaxed slowly ..

so there you are..

loosing her from my sight for just a second made me run over like a psychopath..

what's happening to me..

Roop's POV

This isn't how i expected my life would be..my boyfriend betrayed me..he left me like a fool..a stupid person who thought it would all work out..

all these years i kept imagining he was my prince who would take me away on a white horse..

but he came...

only to throw me away into the frantic deadly sea with no point of return..now I'm still holding up until i drown completely..

How silly of me to think i was ever yours Raj..but its good that i'm here now instead of being tortured everynight by those people where he left me..i sighed..

i just ruined everything..didn't i...especially my parent's trust and i know, i wont get it back even if i tried..its just all useless..

suddenly I felt someone's eyes on me so I turned around quickly..

"sorry..didn't mean to scare you" Richard replied lazily..his hairs were all scruffy proving that he had a nice peaceful sleep. He looked cute as if had done a retro cut

"no..not at all..its fine..I was just making.." but Richard cut me off

"you could've asked me..I would have made it for you"

his kindness scared me..it just made me remember Raj more..

"No..its fine I have already asked a lot from you but not anymore..I didn't want to disturb you in your sleep as well...umm coffee?" I raised the mug with a plain smile

"sure..i'll just get fresh'n up" he smiled and walked out of the room into the bathroom but only to come back after few minutes "where's yours?" he asked as he didn't see any other mug filled with coffee..

"uhh..actually there was no milk and I don't like black coffee.." I replied frankly

"You don't like it or you never had it?" he smiled mischievously and raised the mug upto his lips but before he could take a sip I warned him

"wait! don't!..its uhh.. its actually too hot" but it seemed like he didn't care because he gulped the coffee without making a painful face

"I know but I’m used to having it that way,still thanks for the heads up"

he smirked but I just smiled and walked away into the living room

"so this guy..what’s his name again?!"

"Raj.." I muttered

"Yeah right!..how long had you been dating him?" he sat on the sofa sipping the coffee while I sat opposite from him on the chair

"For 2 years.." I replied blankly

"whoa! thats way long..and you never suspected him of anything?" I shook my head no “Guess I would be a fool in your opinion right?”

Richard sighed "well at least you should contact your parents..tell them what happened" as soon as he spoke the words my hands got cold again..My breathing got hoarse and my legs started to go numb..

i remembered the dream and my parent's faces filled with so much hatred and disgust for me..

It felt like something was pinning into my chest, it was so hard to breathe.

"i..i.. cant bare it..I cant..I'm sorry..I just can’t!" I said weakly

"Hey relax! I just thought you might want to..," he said anxiously

"I want to! but I'm scared I don't know what they'll think..what they'll say..they wont accept me after what I did...i just..I don't know" i whimpered powerlessly..

"Calm down Roop..we wont if you don't want to..we'll wait till the right time okay..until then you can stay here as long as you want...No rent-No rules!," Richard chuckled. He said it so easily but what I was feeling he didn't know..

I was being a burden on him and what if he takes advantage of that

"its too kind of you but i just..don't want to trouble you..I'm asking too much of you" I said miserably

"Geez! would you stop assuming things Roop!..I never said that to you..just trust me..It’ll be fine..I don't mind having you here at all"

Trust..trust was something I had on Raj which he broke in a split second..but i deserved it equally as i did the same with my parents..

Suddenly we heard a noise like a phone ringing..

Richard immediately got up and reached out for his phone in his pocket "aah s**t! i gotta take this" he quickly walked over to the balcony & closed the glass door behind..

i hesitatingly picked up his mug and it still had a little coffee left in it..

#you don't like it or you never had it#

I remembered his words..

I looked up at him and his back was facing me while he conversed on the phone so I mustered all my strength and gulped the rest..

straightaway my face turned pale like an ugly duckling and I felt like vomiting..chee(Yuck!) it tastes awful how can he have it! i again looked up at him but he was still busy on the phone..

I shook my head in disgust and went over to the kitchen sink..to wash the mug and keep it aside..

Richard's POV

"what the f**k man! where the hell are you?!," a voice shouted disrespectfully from the other end

"at my place.." I stated plainly but i really wanted to reach from inside the phone and knock him down

"YeaH right!..you just sit there at your place doing nothing while I get f**ked by the clients you were supposed to handle. Is this a joke Richie!? I’ve got my own s**t to handle you know that!" he spoke angrily

"Yeah I know very well what s**t your talking about..do you want others to know it too..you and veronica..up in the store room..it wasn't hard to figure out what you were upto" I chuckled

"F**k..How did you?..Shit! just get your ass up here man..you know its important Rich!" he said helplessly..

I sighed and turned around to look at Roop but she wasn't on the sofa so I took a few steps back until i could see her.. she was cleaning my mug..

a smile appeared on my face and my heart warmed up instantly

"Rich are you listening..Hey! you there?..where did you go man!" he spoke panicking

"I..I cant make it jeff...just tell them I'm not well or whatever..I’ll get back to you tomorrow," i sighed and ran a hand through my hairs

"Are you f**king serious?!" jeff barked roughly

"yeah I'm f**cking serious! now just do it or else I'm out with your little Secret" I replied back fiercely

"God! whats gotten into you..if this goes wrong..its on your ass Rich..are you even.." before he could talk more s**t i hung up the phone..

Great now I'm screwing up my job as well..

I stared at my phone for few seconds then switched it to silent mode excluding vibration and placed it back in my pocket..

I walked back into the living room closing back the glass door

"So what do you wanna do today?! I asked enthusiastically but it looked like she didn't get what i just said as she kept staring at me with folded arms

"Is everything alright?..you look disturbed," she asked curiously..

wow! she noticed

"ah Nope..everything’s Perfect! so do you wanna go out or something..You’ll feel better..thats if you want to.." she shook her head no

"okay then.. How about we watch a movie and order pizza..Sounds good?!" well it did seem good to her as a slight smile creeped up onto her redlips..

God! she is so cute

"You got it Miss..i'll order the pizza..there's stack of CD's in that cabinet..just choose what you wanna see and we'll put it on," she nodded with a smile and went over to the cabinet beside the television.

I took out my phone again and noticed 5missed calls including one message..just start ignoring them and look how popular you get..I smirked and called up joe's..

I didn't know what she'd like to have so decided to order something usual less spicy..

"thanks yeah! that's all"

after ordering I kept the phone in & heard her snicker so I turned around quickly and saw her holding a CD that read

"XxxDirtySweatxxX

My eyes got bigger and I gulped..Shit s**t s**t!

"uhhh..thats... umm Tha..thats not mine!"

i stuttered and froze up like a mannequin

"You sure?" she eyed me teasingly

"yea absolutely!" I reached out and snatched it from her..

then walked over to the trash bin to throw it away

"you don't have to throw away the CD to prove it!" she said simply but I smirked

"why? you wanna watch it?," she frowned and folded her arms

"I didn't say that!,"

I saw her ears getting red and slowly covering up her cheeks..she looks even more cute now..

I laughed and threw the CD in trashbin

"I'm better off without it..so what are we watching?" I came towards her and she handed me a CD #three in one# which had (my sassy girl,lake house & just like heaven)

Girls they never get bored of such stuff do they?!

"why do I get the feeling that you have seen all of them" I eyed her weirdly and smirked..she chuckled and raised her two fingers

"just two..haven't seen the lake house out of the three" I was happy that she was more frank and bold with me..made me feel like we had been great friends for a long time

"ohh..then the pleasure is all mine..please be seated miss and let me put it up for you" she laughed for the first time and i saw her beautiful dimples..just mesmerizing..

wish I could capture the moment forever as it soothed my heart and senses like never before..I placed the CD in the player and picked up the remote..it showed the three movies on the tv screen "which one?" i asked..

she had already made herself comfortable on the sofa by folding her legs in a criss cross manner

"umm.. just like heaven" she smiled

"Good choice!" I nodded and switched it on..I then sat back on the sofa too..

"its actually one of my favourites" she said with a warm smile looking at me

"is it?!" i asked with a fake smile..

Shitt!..i cant take those Sappy-mushy scenes again..

I’m soo gonna sleep man!

"let’s watch it then" i smiled broadly...

but if it makes her happy somehow then heck with it..i'll resist..let’s just do this!..

I relaxed and adjusted my back against the sofa

after an hour my eyes were all drowsy and as much as i tried not to yawn..

it was impossible but she didn't notice as she was totally engrossed in the movie but the doorbell saved me from actually falling asleep..

"i Got it!!," i shouted stupidly and made her flinch..

she looked at me weirdly "you just sit there and enjoy" i awkwardly got up from my seat and received the pizza..

i closed the door after paying the guy and placed the pizza on the coffee table in the middle.

.she didn't eat much and i didn't ask why..

didn't want to disturb her in between but i was all over the pizza..

trying out different angles to eat the pizza until it was all over.. we watched 2 movies simultaneously and lakehouse was up..

but i couldn't take it anymore..

how can she watch it so intently..

i looked at her and my eyes softened as they rested on her graceful features..her expressions changed as the movie progressed..

i felt i could watch her all day like this without blinking..

without moving..

without breathing..and then it happened..

my heart started thumping against my chest rapidly like an angry bull on leash..

i gasped as my eyes got big and immediately looked away..stop..stop..

this isn't happening..

just stop thinking dammit and watch the movie..

i kept staring at the tvscreen like a lunatic..

after a while my eyelids slowly touched themselves ready to cover up my eyes,

but before I could, my eyelids went apart as I felt something moving closer to me, the next thing I know was I felt pressure against my shoulder..

I looked over to my shoulder to see Roop's head pressed against my arm

"uhh..Roop..?," I whispered, but to no avail..I tried to take my arm away

but then I realized what a stupid idea that was, I didn't want to disturb her as she was sound asleep..

I had no other choice but to listen to my brain saying

Hey Richie.. trust me.. it's fine, it won't get worse, she just thinks you're a pillow that's all. Just go with it... be a man.. do the right thing.. I had no choice but to listen to my brain.

Just as I thought that everything couldn't get any worse, Roop, still asleep, threw her arms around me and it landed right on my chest as she started to move both her head and body closer to me..

Right there and then, I felt a hot, burning feeling around my neck and my spine...

My mouth tried hard to break into a smile, but I tried to hold it back..

My head suddenly felt dizzy and my eyes just wanted to close by itself..

Just what is with this feeling dammit! I felt like i was burning in a furnace..

I thought to myself as I look over at Roop's arm that was on my chest...

My body heated even further when I looked over at my shoulder to her face just a few centimeters away from mine.

My lips nearly touching her forehead..i could feel her silky black hairs swayed above my arm and face..

I slowly reached out for the remote which was beside me and switched off the tv.

But this hot and cold sensation around my body was forcing my eyelids shut, forcing me to fall asleep, which I did by slowly bending my back against the sofa..Buddy, this is so gonna hurt tomorrow but for her, I felt pain didn't matter at all.
