Ivanna Pov's
.
I was startled by his one kiss on my cheek. It was like his one kiss ignited the spark all over my body and my heart was beating at high speed, giving me proof that it was alive. I looked at him dumb-headed while he was smiling like an idiot.
"Thank you, Spiderman, for handling me," he chuckled. I wanted to snap at him for calling me Spiderman but his smile is so beautiful... It didn't let me scold him for kissing me without my permission. I turned my head in another direction.
"Argh... It's hurting" I look back at him when he hissed in pain, only to find a minor injury on his forehead.
"Ohh god... It's bleeding" I cursed myself for not focusing on driving. If I would then he wouldn't have got injured.
"It's hurting" He mumbled.
"I-- I had first aid in my car. Wait" I muttered and stood up to take out the first aid. He was staring at me during the whole process. I was applying the antiseptic on his forehead when a tear rolled from his eyes.
"I'm So--Sorry" I stuttered, feeling bad. I should have been careful. What happened next was enough to shock me. All of a sudden, He hugged me and hid his face in my neck, widening my eyes.
"Wh--What are yo---You doing?" I asked. Somewhere, I was surprised at the way my heart and brain were reacting around him. I should be furious and shout at him for hugging me but here I'm asking the stupid questions from him like I can't see. Don't know why I was feeling like I'm connected to him.
"What are you doing, Ivanna? Push him" I frowned at myself after a while for not using my mind. I'm letting a drunk stranger hug me in the middle of the road, everyone says right I'm dull-witted. I frowned and was about to push him, that's when I heard him sobbing.
"Are you okay?" I asked nervously, not able to understand what I should do.
"Why did she reject me? why?" He shrieked, crying in my arms. Tears rolled from my eyes, feeling his pain. I hugged him back to calm him down.
"She rejected me for someone else... she rejected me" He sobbed, hiding his face in my neck, not wanting to show his tears to me but at the same time, wanting to let out his pain. The pain of losing someone. The pain from which I'm so familiar.
"How can you think, I can love a person like you? I was just using you like a whore you're. you only tell me where would I get a girl who is ready to spread her legs for me whenever I want to fulfil my lust" Tears rolled from my eyes remembering Stefan's words. We both were letting out our pain, crying in each other's arms.
Two strangers who met for a few seconds were crying in each other's arms in the middle of the road. Maybe because we don't know each other, it becomes easy for us to let out our inner pain.
I don't know how long we were crying, hugging each other like that. I look at our position after I calm down. I was on his lap and my legs were encircled around his waist while we hid our faces in each other's necks. I didn't even realise how we ended up in this position. it was understandable that he was drunk but what had happened to me, why I didn't realise before hugging the stranger.
Maybe we both were intoxicated by the pain of love. I came out of my thoughts when he parted away from me and wiped my tears with his thumb. I was staring at him without saying a word while his eyes were roaming all around my face.
"What is your name?" He asked. I didn't reply and stood up from his lap.
"I'm not obliged to answer you" I muttered hesitating. I cried with him but that doesn't mean I gave him right over me. It happens heedlessly.
"Thank you" I looked at him abruptly.
"Thank you for being there with me when I had no one to be by my side" he mumbled and tried to stand up but again fell on the ground with a groan.
"What happened?" I asked anxiously. At first, I thought his leg slipped as he was drunk but then my eyes went to his left leg injury from which blood was oozing out.
"Ohh god" I lifted his pants a little, only to find a deep cut.
"Does it happen because of me?" I asked. He didn't say anything and pointed towards a stone beside him. I put 2×2 together. when my car hit him, he must have fallen on a stone. As a result, there was a deep cut on his left leg.
"I'm sorry" I apologised and temporarily bandaged his injury.
"I did a temporary bandage but who knows how deep the cut is. Let me take you to the doctor."
"No, thanks. I'm fine"
"I can see that" I scoffed and extended my hand towards him.
"Hold my hand" He looked at my hand and then at me.
"Think wisely because if I hold your hand then I'm not going to leave it easily" I rolled my eyes at his cheesy line while he laughed and held my hand. I helped him to stand with my support and made him sit in the front seat. The whole time, his eyes were on me like he was observing my every move and strangely, I didn't feel awkward. I sat in the driving seat and drove towards a nearby hospital.
"Why are you looking at me?" I finally asked him.
"Don't know why but you look familiar to me?" I shook my head negatively.
"But we never saw each other before" He didn't reply and turned his face in another direction. I had a roller-coaster day. In the morning I received the award of best CEO then I had an encounter with my ex, Stefan and that encounter was enough to freshen my wounds. I was trying to overcome everything when I met this stranger who claimed to know me. Don't know what else is waiting for me.
I sighed and tried to focus on the road. That's when I felt his hand on my cheeks. I glare at him angrily.
"I let you touch me before that doesn't mean I give you the right to touch me whenever you want" I snarled and pushed his hand.
"I was just trying to clean the spot of tears from your face" He mumbled. I look at myself in the side mirror. my whole makeup was ruined because of crying continuously. I tightened my lips realising he was right.
"You can park the car at the side and wash your face," He suggested and then smirked.
"I don't want people to get afraid of you, spiderman"
"Don't call me Spiderman" I growled and parked the car at the side to wash my face.
"Stop passing that cocky smile" I growled and hopped down from the car. He passed me his handkerchief when I sat back in the driving seat after washing my face. I was about to deny it but he didn't give me a chance and wiped my face with his own hand. Okay, I didn't expect that gesture from this grumpy gentleman.
"Now people at the hospital are safe," he muttered. I scrunched my eyebrow, not understanding what he meant.
"If you wouldn't have washed your face then anyone in the hospital might have had a heart attack after seeing you." I parted my lips in shock after hearing him.
"Then why didn't you get a heart attack? It would have been great if you had died." I scoffed.
"Because I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm brave, spiderman."
"Brave" I laughed sarcastically.
"Relax, now you're not looking like a witch" he smirked.
"That was mean" I frowned, gawking at him shockingly. He laughed when I smacked his arms.
"I'm helping you and here you're making fun of me instead of thanking me"
"You're helping me because you're the reason because of whom I got injured otherwise you would have never helped a drunk man" He mocked. I opened my mouth to say something in my defence but no word came out of my mouth as he was right. At 3.00 am, I would never take a risk to go near a drunk man who was roaming in the middle of the road.
"halfwit" I muttered under my breath and started driving. I looked at him annoyingly when he started laughing like a maniac.
"What? Why are you laughing?" I growled.
"I'm halfwit and you're insane. What kind of strangers met in the middle of the night in the middle of the road" He laughed.
"Ohh god... With whom I stuck" I muttered frustratingly and increased the speed of the car to reach the hospital and get rid of this person as soon as possible.
"Shoot... I took the wrong way" I groaned frustratingly realising I took the wrong way because of talking to this idiot. My eyes shot up when I tried to apply a break but it didn't work.
"What the fuck?" I yelled.
"What happened?" He looked at me.
"Breaks are not working" We both look at each other with terrifying looks and then at the road.
"Aah!" We both screamed together, seeing death in front of us, ready to greet us.
Ivanna Pov's . I again tried to apply a break but the result was the same. I took the car towards the long and empty road. Thankfully, as I thought there was no car on the road but still, the brakes are not working which is enough to tremble my soul. "Ohh god... I don't want to die like this... it can't be the end of my life" A tear rolled from my eyes because of fear and only one person came into my mind. "I still love you, Stefan. I love you despite everything that happened between us. I forgive you for what you did. I forgive you my love" I thought and held the pendant which he gifted me with my left hand. I was lost in my world. That's when I felt a hand on my left cheek. I look at the stranger who wiped my tears, making me realise his presence. What kind of feeling is this? I'm stuck between my past and this stranger who unintentionally acts as a cure for my pain. I again turned my head towards the road and took a deep breath to calm myself. Crying is not a solution. "We ca
Ivanna Pov's . I was staring at this strange person without blinking. I don't know why I felt something magical about him. "It is not stupid to find someone attractive in the first meeting only but it is stupid to find a drunk stranger attractive" My mind mocked my heart. "I know, I'm handsome" I came to my senses when he spoke and sat straight. My heart was beating at a higher speed reminding me that I'm still alive. After separation from Stefan, this is the first time I'm feeling something for someone and my heart was beating at this speed. "No... don't forget what happened in the past, Ivanna... Love is meant to break people" I thought and took a deep breath to calm myself. "Someone is calling you" I look at his side and then at my phone which was on silent mode. I click on the earbud to pick up the call. "Where the fuck are you Ivanna" I heard my brother yelling at me from the other side. "What happened?" "You went out without security and now asking me what happened" He
Ivanna Pov's.I was staring at him without blinking my eyes when suddenly he held my head and pushed me down. The next thing I heard was the sound of a gunshot. I looked at him, widening my eyes and then sat straight and looked back only to find a hole in my driving seat. One of our enemies might have shot at my head and he saved me on time. I turned my gaze towards him. He was glaring at that man as if he would eat him alive. Does he even know what they are and how dangerous they are for us?"Stop glaring at him. He is dangerous and if he gets offended then he will play with your eyeballs for glaring at him." I scoffed"how dare he try to harm you" he gritted his teeth. He was still giving that man a death glare. I shook my head, realising it's not time for stupid talk or making him understand how childish he is behaving. they all are in the mafia for god sake and what he is: a common man.I look at the leader of my enemy before raising my both hands in the air, indicating to them I
Ivanna Pov's . I kept looking at him to see any kind of distress on his face but he had an impassive look on his face, making it difficult for me to figure out what was going on in his mind. "You have ten seconds to answer then I will pull the trigger" I muttered in a threatening tone but he didn't even flinch a bit. He was right when he said he wasn't afraid of death. "One.. Two. Three." I clamped up when my eyes went on his shivering hand which he raised towards my cheeks. He kept it on my cheek and wiped the blood from the corner of my lips. "Aah," I hissed in pain. That moron hit me hard. "I---I'm so--sorry" he stuttered. I sighed when I saw his condition after seeing a minor cut on my lips. He can't be a man because of whom they all run. He is shivering after seeing a few drops of blood. A man like him can't be in the mafia. "They must have misunderstood you as Lord Stan. Thanks to god we are safe" I dropped the gun and took a relief breath. It was a long drama of my life.
Ivanna Pov's . It's easy to say I want to die but today I realised how difficult it is to face death. I would have lost my life if my lunatic stranger wouldn't have stopped me and if that thief hadn't stolen my car. Tears rolled from my eyes. "Relax… Everything is fine." My stranger coed me. I look at him, only to find his eyes on me. He was staring at me with love filled his eyes. This mysterious man saved my life twice. He lovingly wiped my tears. Unknowingly he was doing everything that no one did for me except my parents. He was slowly ruining me with all his gestures. No.. I can't let this strange feeling enter my heart again. I don't want to get betrayed again in love. No... I pushed him away using all my strength. "Stay away from me" I muttered and ran away from him as fast as I could. He was continuously calling my name from behind but I didn't stop and ran at a higher speed, knowing he couldn't chase me because of his leg injury. I was running as fast as I could until I
Ivanna Pov's.I flinched when the sun's rays fell on my face. I looked outside of the window after sitting straight, only to realise I cried the whole night."Your love always makes me vulnerable, Stefan. I cried the whole night." I chuckled and wiped my tears then took a deep breath."It's enough Ivanna. There is no point in crying over a person who destroyed you mentally" I muttered to myself and took off the shirt I was wearing. I again look at all of Stefan's belongings before locking them inside the box."I don't know when I will get relief from the pain you give me, Stefan. I thought your apology would heal me but it didn't. Your insulting words still haunt me as a nightmare" I sighed and kept that box inside the cupboard then got up to live another unwanted day of my life.I was having my breakfast before leaving for the office. That's when my brother entered the dining area. I didn't even bother to look at him and resume my eating, ignoring his presence."Where were you last
Ivanna Pov's . I was staring at my smoking hot and handsome stranger. The smirk on his lips was making him more desirable. Yesterday, I didn't notice much of his features and now when I'm doing it, it takes my breath away. He looks like a mafia king of novels: hot, handsome and desirable. The beard and the black hoodie suit him. I bit my lower lip when my eyes went on his lips which made me forget the world yesterday. "Done checking me out" I came to sense upon hearing him. All my confidence vapour into thin air and my cheeks burn out, realising he caught me red-handed. "I wasn't ch---checking you ou--out" I cursed myself for stuttering. Whenever I got nervous or afraid, I started stuttering. I hate this habit of mine but it's not in my control. "You don't need to be nervous. You haven't done any crime" I turned my head in another direction, not wanting to look at his smile which always increased my strange feelings for him. The feelings that will drive me crazy. "You burned the
Ivanna Pov's . "Butterfly" He called me, finding me lost. He was making me feel alive by raising all the feelings which I buried long ago. "Don't call me butterfly" I snapped. "Why? Do my words and actions affect you?" He asked. "Affect? I'm feeling like you control my heart and tell him to increase his speed with your words and action" I thought and removed my hand from my chest before he would have noticed. "You didn't answer me? Does my presence affect you?" I shook my head negatively. "Your facial expressions don't match with your answer, butterfly," He said teasingly. "Shut up" He kept his finger on his lips. "Why does he need to act cute now?" I cursed looking at him. He was making me fall for him with every action. Why? Why is he affecting me this much? It's not good. I can't let this stupid feeling called 'LOVE' destroy my life. I can't... "Stay away" I mumbled the same words to him that I said to him yesterday. "If your happiness comes from me being away then I wil
