The next day, Natasha felt uncertain that Luca had probably forgotten about her,she had barely recovered over her encounter with him, what really gave her strong wits was that something was clearly wrong with him was the way his eyes changed easily.
Natasha didn't need any assurance from anyone to know that Luca was something else,something dangerous and she needed to stay away from him.
She looked at the mirror to feel the prints of his hand on her arm still visible, although it has been two days but the slight scar on her arm was still healing with the way he gripped her,nearly breaking her hand and she forgot to mention the way he gripped her hair.
She couldn't quite give any conclusion on what really happened that day other than the fact that he was bipolar and really needed to visit a psychiatrist.
She felt on top of the world when he asked her out to have dinner with him but what she didn't know was that her man was a possessive freak.
Her man?
She scoffed at the thought of Luca being her man,if he wanted her to be his,he needs to work on his attitude.
Luca would have killed that innocent boy had it been she didn't interfered quickly,he would have been a murderer.
Not only was he having anger issues,she too was a full combination of madness when she was angry,and if they were to be together,then something dangerous was going to be unleashed in Sherbrooke.
Natasha doesn't fancy him being possessive towards her as if she was some china doll that would break,she needed him to know that was a human and not some sort of thing to stake his claim on.
"Oh my god,what happened?''Nancy asked, breaking her out of her trance that she forgot when she entered her room.
"Nothing that would be of your concern"Natasha told her in an irritating voice which made her feel awful but as usual that was Natasha,trying to sound okay,when she's not.
"You need to stop acting like you are okay when you are not"
"Nancy!"
",Stop trying to conceal the tears behind your smile because others might believe you but to me you are like an open book,so tell me ?were you threatened?''Nancy asked, coming closer to see the scar around her arm.
"I said I'm okay,Nancy, stop it already"Natasha pushed her hand away before she could touch her hand ,she didn't need anybody's sympathy.
She was okay and that is it,inviting Nancy in this was like telling the press because she knew Nancy,she would make sure to get Luca arrested so it was better just leaving her in the dark for now until she clears things out.
She noticed the hurt in Nancy's eyes before she left her room which made her heart ache but she needed to do this.
Her ringing phone caught her attention as she made to pick it up from her bed,then looked at the caller, Henry.
"Henry"
"Hi sunshine,how are you ?"
"Well I'm fine for the records since you left me alone for a week after hearing the news about me all to myself,not caring to phone or send a message,that was good of you Henry,I must commend"Natasha said over the phone,angry at him for treating her the way he did for the past week.
She met henry in her final year in business school,he was such a nice soul to be with,quite talkative and protective of her that people actually thought they were dating but that didn't hide the truth behind the rumour that Henry was in love in her but chose not to tell her,reasons unknown to her.
Which made her feel relaxed because she didn't know exactly how to break it to him that she only sees him as a friend.
There was never a dull moment with Henry,he always knew when to make her smile whenever she was down,angry and sad but he was just a friend to her and would always be.
Henry was the only person aside from Nancy she wasn't uptight with,she feels safe around him, that's what she feels and it would always be like that,he would always be in the friend zone.
The spark she feels when she is with Luca she didn't feel that whenever she was with Henry.
Wait a minute,why are you comparing the both of them?
Seriously Natasha?
You have been totally whipped by his charm.
"I'm so sorry pumpkin,I had an emergency at home which needed my full attention,I didn't forget about you how could I do that,you know you are always on my mind 24/7 babygirl"Henry smiled back at the hotelier who came into his room to serve him what he ordered not without flaunting her curves in front of him.
What a needy bitch!
"Oh stop with the flattering already"Natasha said sitting down in front of her mirror to touch the scar around her arm,she couldn't seem to stop touching it.
"What if I say I'm already in Sherbrooke sweetheart,I promise to make it up to you once i get there"
"You are kidding right?"Natasha doubted,he might be kidding that's how he is but sometimes he's always serious.
"I'm hurt you don't know when I'm serious baby,dress up I'm taking you out in the next few minutes"Henry said,trying not to laugh at the look on Natasha's face when she sees him.
God ,he really missed her!
Being away from her these past few years seems hard but he knew he was going to be a lucky man once she gets to know the reason for him coming to see her.
Just wait, babygirl.
"Henry,I can't be seen in public now and you know that"
"It's night already and besides who dares spoil my dinner date with my angel?"He taunted while Natasha laughed."I will be there to pick you up by seven"
"Okay,seven it is"
"Dress sexily love"
"You are such a pervert you know that"Natasha told him hearing him chuckle over the phone.
"Only for you pumpkin,I have another call coming,see you soon"
"Okay"Natasha dropped her phone,walking to her closet,confused on what cloth to wear,she took out a gown that would cover the scar around her arm,she didn't need Henry finding out about what happened to her because he was exactly like Nancy,he wouldn't stop until he finds out who did this to her.
Not only had Luca hurt her but he already made her feel unsafe to be around him anymore. She prays he doesn't come back for her like he always does,because if he does,then she gives him a piece of her mind.
Luca needs to stay away from her for good,he's toxic!
