"Father!!!"
Now her father was sitting on the sofa of the living room while doing something on his laptop.
Then he just glanced at her and asked her in void of any emotions., "Where are you going?" It's looks like he doesn't care where she is going or what she is doing.
"I'm just going to my friend's house for doing a project work father." She told him softly.
"Ok, you can go but be back in time." He said to her and then again focused his eyes on his laptop.
"Fa...father how did you come home so early? where is mother?"
"That's none of your concern. Now you can go." He spat at her coldly.
She felt really bad but it's becomes her daily routine. So she didn't mind him that much. She thought at least they care for her that's why he told her to come back at time, but if only she did know the truth that they wants her to be safe and sound only because of their one evil motive! And she is fully unaware of the fact that what will gonna happen with her in the future.
With a very heavy heart she went outside where Alexander's car was parked. She then opened the door of the car and sat beside him. When he saw her gloomy expression on her face he doubted that is she okay or not.
"Is everything okay Miss Parker?"
"Y...yes, Alex. Everything is fine." She told him while holding a duplicate smile on her face as if she is trying to hide her pain from him.
Alexander knew something has happened but he decided not to force her rather he thought it would be better if he tries to do her mood better. So without asking any further questions he just started to drove the car.
Both were not saying anything and he is dying to know that what has happened with her. So suddenly he asked huskily,
"Miss Parker don't you know that when you smiles it just adds life to your pretty face. Shall I teach you how to smile huh?"
She just got dumbfounded for a moment. "What are you saying Alex! Don't worry I'm fine." She said while holding the same duplicate smile on her face.
He just moved his heads sideways to see her expression and instantly he knew that still she is not smiling. Then suddenly he stopped the car at a road side.
The weather was slightly chilly and the winds are blowing in a slight speed and a light rain was occuring at that time.
He suddenly did something unexpected at that time. He just move towards her face slowly slowly. Now her mind becomes blank. she forgot that why her mood was upset. Her heart started to drum in her chest vigorously.
"Wh...what are you doing Alex?" She asked him in a stuttering voice. He just ignored her words and continued to approach her slowly slowly. Now her face has already turned into a human tomato. She just forgot to breath for a moment. Many wild imaginations were coming into her mind.
On the other side his gaze was sharply focused on her face. He was closely observing every expression of her face. He has full confidence on his own charms and also he knew that how badly his presence just affects her. A mischievous smirk crept on his attractive face. And the weather adds the additional spices to this situation.
On the way of his approaching a sudden thunderbolt occurred at the sky with a very frightening sound.
"Alex!!!" She just jumped from her place and suddenly hugged him very tightly. Now her both hands were surrounded around his neck and her face was placed on his right shoulder.
He was now more than satisfied and was thanking that thunderbolt nth number of time in his mind. How soft and fragile she feels against his body he thought. A sudden wanting of protecting her came across his mind. Now she was shivering due to the frightening situation.
"Shhhh...Seraphina. Just calm down ok! I'm here. Nothing will be happen as long as I'm here with you. Just calm down." He hugged her petite figure very lovingly while tried to coax her with this soothing words.
She felt so much peace and relief in his arms. She just started to feel something strong and strange type of feelings for him. She doesn't wants to drift apart from him. It's like she can stay in his arms for eternity like this.
After gettting relaxed in his arms she finally leave him from her embrace. "S...sorry Alex. I shouldn't have done that with you. I just crossed the limit. I...I just got scared a little bit. I hope you'll not mind me." She told him while looking downwards the whole time.
"Look at me!" He commanded her.
She just denied him by moving her head. She don't know why but slight tears were started to glistening in her pair of beautiful eyes. That's why she doesn't wants to show him her face.
Both fear of thunderbolt and the memory of her father's cold treatment brought the tears in her eyes. She just don't wants to look weak and fragile in front of his eyes.
She remembers those childhood days very well. Whenever any thunderbolt or any thing like that used to happen, at that time no was was there to coax her or love her or care for her. No one ever came to her and asked her that 'Are you okay?' or 'Do you need something?' In just one sentence we can say that she never ever loved by her family the way she should be loved. They only provided her money and education and nothing else. What will she do when the most important thing that is love and care is not present in her whole life!
Then he just made her look at him by moving her chin towards him through his fingers.
He saw those tears and instantly understood that those are the tears caused her due to the emotional pain.
When he coaxed her in his soothing words she couldn't help but got so much emotional. In her entire life except her few friends no one ever told her these words. Especially her family. Either her parents or her sisters. How could she explain this overwhelming emotions which is coursing through her mind at this time?
"You can tell me Seraphina. In this way you can light up your mind by sharing your emotions to me, and don't worry, I'm here with you ok!"
She just smiled faintly as if she is still in pain then told him that, "It's nothing serious Alex. I just remembered a bitter past of mine and that brought these uninvited tears in my mind. Don't worry I'm fine now." She tried to reasoned him. But he knew better of her. Then suddenly he remembered his unfinished work which he have to do with her.
Then without any warning he again started to approach towards her slowly slowly...
"Alex!!!..." She gasped suddenly...
