AUTHOR'S POV
There are two different emotions that can be clearly seen in the air. Love..and anger. On Felix's side, the breeze blew gently over his face like a love symphony. He got hit with the awestruck by her beauty every single time. She manages to mesmerize him with new emotions every damn time. Her fighting skills and quick responsiveness is making him fall for her even more. The boldness in her survival skills and softness in her is making him fall in love with her like it was his first time falling in love every damn time. How is it possible to fall for the same damn woman again and again like It's becoming a habit for him.
But on the other hand, the emotions and feelings from her side are total opposite like it took a 360° turn, one can literally feel the fumes of anger from her radiating around her, magnifying throughout her body just by looking at him. Well if looks could kill, Felix would already be meeting his ancestors by now.
"Ha!! Look who decided to show up" she muttered with a clenched teeth which can show the peaks of her anger and annoyance.
"Hi darling, What a delight it is to have you here, maybe gods felt pity over me so they gifted me with your arrival in the early morning". He spoke to her while walking towards her like she is his long last lover, smiling like a fool.
LYRA'S POV
It would be a joke if I say I am not shocked by this dumb motherfucker, I seriously forgot why I have come here for a minute there. 'Seriously is he nuts?! Does he have any mental disorder?!, what's with the smile you idiot, you look like a Cheshire cat'.
"Why the fuck are you stalking me? Don't say I didn't warn you Mr. Felix, You are really testing my patience, I am fed up with your tactics. Your people are following me from day to night, I am so done with this shit. What's your deal man?" I spoke to him .....no I barked at him without taking a breath.
He just stood there like a majestic king with ruffled hair looking at me with dreamy eyes, and a smile that's not leaving his face. I was waiting for his answer which was taking much longer, just as I snapped at him again, he opened his mouth.
"I want to protect you sweetheart! I can't lose you again". He answered me back.
" Look Mr. Felix, I don't need anyone's protection. Who the fuck are you to protect me? And what's with this losing thing. I've been safe on my own all these years. I don't think there something more dangerous than you. If possible...I should be protected from you....See it's hightime you stop these things, I am just warning you and leaving only with words, not taking any action because of your good reputation. I want you to stop these things". I told him and turned back to get away from him, when he spoke again which made me lose all my senses.
"I am sorry sweetheart if I caused you any inconvenience, But it's a "No" from me."
I turned my head towards him totally in dumbstruck and questioned him "What the heck do you mean by No?".
He took a step towards me decreasing the distance between us, still smiling like he won a prize or something.
"I can't stop it! I would lose my mind if something happens to you, I would not interfere in your work. It's just a safety measure''.
'That's it I am done, I'm gonna knock some sense into his peanut brain' , I charge towards him, my eyes fixed on his smiling face. I wind up my arm, cocking my fist and taking aim at his jawline. I can feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I unleash my pent-up frustration. My shoulder rotates backwards, generating torque and power for the impending punch.
I lead with my left jab, aiming to create distance and cease his reaction time. My arm extends, fist clenched, as I twist my hips and shifting my weight onto my front foot. I'm determined to land this blow and rub off that idiotic smile off his face.
But he is too quick and sleek. He slips to the right, evading my jab with ease. I'm caught off guard. My arm extending further than I intended as the punch was missed. I quickly recover, turn to my right hand side, following up with a powerful cross. My dominant right hand unwinds, right fist hurtling towards his face with increased speed and force. I'm convinced I've got him this time, but that son of a gun leans back, allowing my cross to whizz past his ear. My eyes widen in disbelief as I realize he's evaded both my jab and cross. I feel a surge of frustration and embarrassment, my face burning with annoyance.
I turn around to see his bodygaurds who were on the ground a moment ago standing behind him ready to attack me anytime. But they all left without a word when their boss signalled them to go. Now it's only him and I in the driveway.
I quickly reset my stance, preparing for another attack. But he seizes the opportunity to counter attack, his eyes locked onto my eyes momentarily. Sensing danger, I raise my guard, bracing myself for his response, When he moved towards me.
I was in my stance position ready to defend his attack. My body and mind were expecting all the ways he can attack me and was prepared to evade the attack and land some punches on him when he did the most unexpected thing.
Within a blink of eye, he was right infront of me with outstretched hands. Which I thought were to attack me. But no he just snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me into him as quick as flash which caught me off guard as I was totally taken back by his antics.
He Hugged me. He hugged me???!!! He freaking Hugged me!!.....
I was there in his embrace with my outstretched hands and clenched fists still ready to fight the imaginary dragons like a fucking boxing Barbie. I was in such an awkward position. My hands are stretched outside in a defence position and his hands are around my waist.
I couldn't breathe. Not like when I find it uncomfortable. But like my heart racing fastly and mind going numb. The morning air blew over my face so gently keeping my numbess in check. The warmth in the sunlight grazing over my cheeks along with the increasing embarassment.
After getting my senses back about what's happening, I tried to push back from his embrace, and just like that he left me and stood back like he was not hugging me a second ago. I was just standing there infront of him like a dumb doll clearly not knowing what to do. My heart beating like it would burst out of its place, my brain just switched off without giving me any chance of retaliation.
After a minute, without giving a thought as I was out of options due to these new things happening to me. The next second I realised what happened just now, I did the last thing in my list of actions I would do in any do or die situation.
I ran away.
Yes ..you can judge me all you want but I fucking ran from there as I was out of options. Like what the fuck do you want me to do? Thank him? Like 'oohhh thank you I needed that hug!!! What the fuck!?' I'd be damned if I did that!
I sprinted out of my wits from there, from that dumb motherfucker. Walking as fast as I could, I reached my car and started to drive out of his driveway as fast as I can. heart still beating like it's on marathon. What did he do to me? It's like I had an exhaustion from doing high rate cardio. I am sweating all over even though the air conditioner in my car is in least degrees.As I was recovering from the aftermath of the situation, I recalled the whole situation again. And I concluded some things.
I didn't like the way my heart exploded due to the hug.
I didn't like the way my body became so weak infront of him.
I didn't like the way I ran away from him like a coward instead of teaching him a lesson for this stalking thing.
Lastly I didn't like the way his eyes were looking at me, it was like he was looking into my soul.
What are you man? Why don't you leave me alone! Ughhhh.....
I drove out of the mansion's drive way and directed towards the main road of Weston city. 'I can't believe I am in the same road as I was just 30 minutes ago this fast. This asshole got me tricked. Why the fuck did my body react like that!!??' cursing myself in my mind I hit my forehead at my dumb decision. I expected my reflexes to be quick. But not in this way.
I can finally breathe properly when I hit the main road. I stopped the car on the side and composed myself. "Okay! what in the hell was that? It's not like I've never hugged before.... Okay! I only hugged leo as long as I remember. And my parents in my childhood. This is new. Hugging a man. No. A man hugging me. Why didn't I respond when he was hugging me? Why did I react like I am on a hit and run case?!!! It was a perfect opportunity to hit him into a pulp. Why the fuck did you stop working?!!!" I yelled at myself hitting my head like an insane zombie.
I sighed and decided to take care of this matter some other time. Driving to the library, I tried to forget the last 10 minutes like it's not the most embarassing situation of my entire life. I reached the library within half an hour and started my daily routine trying to erase the distracting moments away.
MEANWHILE
FELIX POV
My stomach twisted like it's been drowned in thousand red roses. I hugged her in an impulse. It was not my intention to make her feel uncomfortable, but I couldn't resist her. She was infront of me within the reach of my hands, it was like my hands have their own control. She looked shocked. I wouldn't blame her because I am shocked myself too. My reflexes did what my mind thought of doing. The moment I hugged her, I couldn't decipher what's happening in my mind. I think my heart took control of my body the moment I saw her. I couldn't stop smiling. I've been so serious maintaining stoic face all my days I've spent without her.
I couldn't contain my happiness when I finally saw her at my doorstep. I looked like a fool. But that's okay for me.
I smelled some Lavender fragrance from her. I breathed in the fragrance deep into my lungs to remember how she smelt. Her skin feels so soft compared to me. My body engulfed her small figure. My arms are wrapped around her waist like a snake wrapped around a rose stem. I just settled my face at the crook of her neck, it felt like home, she felt like home. I had this strong urge to kiss her there, But she would have beat me with her shoe if I did that on the third meeting. She took a good 28 seconds to react. Pushing me away from her just as I released her.
I wanted to keep her in my embrace for a little longer. Infact, I wanted to hug her even more. I might have contained my feelings if I didn't see her. But now that I got to taste the love again after hundreds of years, I couldn't compose myself anymore. A thousand butterflies rose inside my heart. The happiness I am feeling right now is undefiable.
Everything I do for her is okay. If it's smiling like an idiot when I saw her or burying a person alive that dared to bother her. When it comes to her, I would even steal some roses from someone else's garden.
And just when I left her, she ran away. Just like that. She sprinted towards the car like she just saw a devil and decided to silently escape from it without making a noise. I watched her leave in her car doing nothing. I thought she would curse me or beat me up for what I did. But calculating her reaction, I am sure that hug had some effect on her too.
I smile at her retreating back getting into her cat and driving away from me. This stupid smile refused to let me go. It stayed on my face making me look like a mad man for any person passing me by. This is the smile she brought on my face when I fell in love with her for the first time. And now, this is the same smile she brought back after 300 years of my existence. Again.
.
.
.
And just like that, I fell in love with her. All over again.
