"Hehe…. Look before you…." Someone yelled.
Katherine raised her head and saw a red car coming opposite to her. She stopped and stared at the car as her mind became numb with Ardian's re-entry into her life.
" Don't you care for your life?" Someone pulled her holding her arm.
As the person pulled Katherine with force, they both fell on the side of the road.
" Are you alright?" The person asked with concern.
" Hmmm…." Katherine hummed, checking her elbow joint.
" Hi….I am Steven." He extended his hand to Katherine.
" Thank you for saving me. " Katherine thanked her and stood up after gathering her clutch on the floor.
" It's my pleasure to help a beautiful lady like you…" Steven said in a flirty way.
She looked at him angrily with his flirty behavior and walked past him. After she walked away from him, she stood on the road waiting for the cab.
Suddenly a blue Ford car stopped in front of her. A few seconds later, the window glass of the car at the driver's seat scrolled down.
" Hi….beautiful. It will be my pleasure if you get in my car. So that I can drop you" Steven said to Katherine.
" No thanks," she replied.
" Beauty with attitude…" Steven smiled at her.
" Don't irritate me and get lost from here.." She yelled.
" I think it's going to rain as the weather is windy. It's your wish if you want to drench in the rain. And it will be a feast for the eyes of the passing by men to fulfill their thirst by watching you in wet clothes. " Steven smirked.
"How dare he talk to me like that…."
" I may lose my status, property but no self-respect…." She thought and was fuming in anger.
" Shut your filthy mouth…." Katherine screamed.
" Oh...come on… why are you getting angry? I am just predicting what will happen if you drench in the rain…" Steven said casually.
" What don't you leave from here? " Katherine asked him.
" Why don't you take my help? Are you scared of me that I may kidnap you?" He retorted.
" Katherine Davis is never scared of anything…" She challenged Steven.
" So….this beautiful lady's name is Katherine but I heard this name somewhere..." He thought.
" Then get in my car. I will drop you at your address…" he said and came outside the car and was leaning on the car door.
Suddenly it was thundering with lights in the dark sky. She opened her clutch and took her mobile to book the cabin. To her bad luck, her mobile was switched off.
" Miss. Katherine. Please….I want to give my service to you…" Steven said politely.
She thought for a while and nodded her head. Steven smiled at her and opened the door on the other side of the car. As soon as Kathie seated beside the driver seat, he too sat beside her.
" Address ...please…" he asked playfully.
" Road no 6, House no- 268, Thompson Street, …" she informed.
" Do you wanna listen to music?" He asked her.
" Is this your car? or Are you the driver?" She asked Steven to irritate him.
" Am I looking like a driver in this suit?" He asked with shock.
" I don't know. But I thought you were the driver as you were asking permission to play the music," She said to Steven.
" What a sense of humor!!!" He laughed.
But Katherine wanted to break his teeth inside her mind. Then he switched on the music player in the car and was humming along.
" Are you always like that gloomy and moody?" He asked Katherine.
She ignored his bantering and looked outside. Ardian's anger and hurtful face were running in her mind. Her body was still feeling his warm touch which she was craving for three years.
…..
….
" Kathie…." Steven called her name.
" Where do you lose your mind? Even while walking on the road, you were not in the right mind? Any problem?" Steven asked her.
" I am not Kathie. It's Katherine….I don't like strangers to call me by that name. " She said sternly.
" Then be.. my friend. " Steven extended his hand.
" Sorry…" she said.
" We reached your place. " Steven said in a sad voice. She realized and opened the door to get down.
" When can we meet again?" He asked her with hope.
" There is no chance to meet again because I am busy in my life. " She said.
She opened her clutch and took the currency to pay for the ride to make him understand that it is only a cabin service to her.
" I like your attitude. But I do not want to pay. " Saying he took her hand and kissed her knuckles all of the sudden.
" My instinct is telling me that we have a good bonding and will definitely meet again in the future," Steven said confidently.
Katherine was startled by his action.
" Good night …" saying he drove the car.
