Chapter-22 its tempting,want to touch it again

Erica's POV***

When he told me that he would be there for me from now on,just those simple words really moved my heart so much that I wasn't able to stop my tears from falling ,I cried to my heart, where he was still there comforting me.

After a minute or so,I settle down and then I realised that I had been crying while hugging him. I got a part from him and wipe my tears which were still on my cheeks.

Then he said,"you alright now!!"

I lift my head up to see his face and he gave me a small smile,"mm....yes I am fine and sorry for crying like that"I said with my cheeks turning red in embarrassment for my action.

He then rub my cheeks with his thumb and said,"no worry,you can cry on my chest whenever you like because I'll be always here for you from now on,got it"

"o-okay"I replied shyly.

"okay so you want to continue or..."he said and stare me for a second ,then

"maybe some other time ,we can tal...."I cut him off  in between,

"no,I want to continue"I protest.

He stare at me with concerned and then said,"okay then"

"do you know why those people came to our house?? its because of Melvin parents actually Melvin is from a wealthy family as well so when his parents heard what he did and how he was charged?? ,his parents ,I don't know what they had filled their heads but without having a second thought, they all march towards here to abused me and my family"I stated with so much pain and anger inside.

"and after that incident I didn't dare to walk out from my room for almost a week because I was quiet shaken from all those abuses??", I put my head down and kept staring at my hands which is now sweating like anything. He place his hands on my hand and squeezed it tightly.

"I-I thought that its all over since its already been a week or so but then one day when my parents went out leaving me with my cousin alone here ,on that day we were watching the pink panther show then out of nowhere Melvin along with two boys and two girls broke in and they did..."I stopped for a moment then,

"They started their usual routine abusing me to their fullest and not only abused but they even cut off my hair ,at that time I had this long hair but they cut it all off ,my head was like bald ,I really can't imagine my hair being cut off like that ever again.."I stated and a lonesome tear rolled down but then I quickly wiped it off and I lift up my head and gave him a forceful smile but he seemed to noticed that it was not genuine  so he just rubbed my hand with his thumb.

I felt my tears were on the verge to fall again so I shook them all away and said,"mm...and in the college ,ever since he came ,my life was filled with fearful memories again,my fear began to surround me and  whenever I step inside the lobby those tortured he gave me all came back in  just a snap, whenever he sees  me 'anywhere' he drag me into some dark and empty room and abused me physically as well as mentally which was too hard for me to take it all alone"I felt his grip on my hand got even tighter and as I lift my head up I saw full of raged in his eyes,which made me surprised and when I open my mouth to say something ,he all of the sudden open his mouth

"when I  meet him ,I  going to make him pay for it"he said with full of anger in  his tone.

I was happy from inside that he is now listening to me, believing me and now I can see those trust and hope , which I always wanted from him, finally but...but the only problem is that he doesn't feel the same as I feel for him. I broke out from my thought when he said,"but I want to know what actually was the reason for them to abused you like this?do you know why??"he asked me with full of seriousness.

I nodded my head at the same time shook it because I remembered that day when Melvin's grandfather who was at that time the head of this small society ,he warned my parents and my grandparents that no one can be richer than them and also if anyone who tries to break those rules will suffer like me that's the first day when they found out me engaged to Richard,who is a billionaire.

I was brought back to reality when Richard said,"hey,you alright!!"

I nodded my head with a tight smile and said,"yes and the reason of this abuses and torture was all because of power and wealth,you see,Melvin's grandpa who was once the head of this community and still now,he  always had those jealousy eyes over all those wealthy people and he thinks that in here in our community, no one should be richer than his family so when he found out about my engagement or say marriage thing they began their hunt on me and..."I stopped because there was more reasons which my parents doesn't know either .

"and what??"he asked with concerned.

I lift my head up and said ,"and I heard something which shook my mind off "

"what??what did you heard?"he asked

"I heard that those factories inside the city which the public were accusing me and my family were all set up by Melvin's parents and they did that to get rid of my family from your family ,I really can't understand, is wealth more important then a persons life"I stated

"did your parents know about it??"he questioned 

"no they don't,I didn't told them about it and even if I tell them what will they do??so let it be"I said with so much sadness 

Then I heard him sigh and as I lift my head up to face him,he was busy ringing someone. Then I heard him saying,"hello,Fred"

"yes,I want you to go to ....,okay,alright I'll email you the details later, okay, thanks,bye"and he hung up and I just kept on staring at him.

"what??"he asked

"nothing!!!",I lowered down my head with the feeling that he was still in his own world,thinking about his life,meeting up with his friends, partying and so on and that thought really makes me wanna cry and feel sad,but then he all of the sudden said,

"its just a friend of mine,no need to worry its a boy not a girl and its not related to my daily routine which I often do,its way too important then those"and he wink at me.

I stare at him and nodded my head before muttering,"okay!!"

He  chuckle before he said with kind a bit of anger in his tone,"you should have told me earlier or maybe when you first came to NY??"

"What do you mean I should have told you earlier about my past?"I replied,Wow!!!what's with him ???a second ago he was sweet and now, angry ,and he wouldn't listen to me when I was there in NY because he was always an a*s when I first came to NY and now he is yelling at me again, why I didn't told him earlier, God!!!what is wrong with this man?

"and will you ever listen to me at that time,and as far as I remember someone was always a jerk ,full of himself,right"I stated but tease him towards the end.

He shook his head and said,"yeah ,I know but you could have just told me about it ".

I glare at him for a second and rolled my eyes away ,"in your dreams ,you'll ever listen to me"I said and pulled my hands away from his hand and I waited for him to speak.

But his eyes widen, when I pulled away and I waited what will be his reaction as well as what he will say then after a second ,he asked,

"I have been thinking this for some time just before you left NY."

Okay!!!now he is back to his normal self again,hmm....like a chameleon changing his mood swing over and over anyway I love this side of him.

"what is it??"I asked him 

"why do you always listen to me ,I mean whenever I told you  not to come near me or appear in front of me or say not to talk,why do you always listen to me without protesting?"he asked 

I stare into his eyes before smiling at him.

"what are you smiling about ??"he asked in baffled .

"its because how much I tell you, you won't never feel the same so its useless "I replied

"try me"he demanded while smiling back at me.

I look at him from the corner of my eyes  and said,"okay!!!",I stood up and walk towards my study table and pour water into the glass and gulped all of it.

"tell me what's the reason behind you not protesting it ?"he demanded an answer 

I sighed and turn around only to bumped my face on his hard bare chest .I stood firm at that position feeling his warmth   bare chest and smelling his cologne ,he smell so fresh and good but that ended until I heard him .

"if you keep on sniffing and rubbing your lips and nose on my chest ,I don't  think I'll be able to stop myself from taking you right now ,right here"he warned as soon as I heard him say that I realised my actions and I was really sniffing and rubbing my lips and nose on his bare chest thenI push him away with all my strength which made him fall on bed again.

When I did that he laughed out hardly and said,"I never thought that my body really has this affect on you maybe I should try to be more naked around you so that I'll get more of your attention and affection and also I can try to pleasure you and mysel...."I cut him off 

"never in my life I  am going to come near you when your flesh are exposed again"I stated with full of confidence and then cross my arms over my chest .

He look at me from the corner of his eyes and then gave a smirk before he said,"oh really!!!"

"yes and closed those button up its so ...."

"its so tempting yes I know ,wanna touch it or maybe sniffle or rub it again,"he said , making me speechless and blush at the same time.

what in the world has gotten in to him ,which made him act this weird and different???
