Cold Shower

Ivanna Pov's

.

"Butterfly" He called me, finding me lost. He was making me feel alive by raising all the feelings which I buried long ago.

"Don't call me butterfly" I snapped.

"Why? Do my words and actions affect you?" He asked.

"Affect? I'm feeling like you control my heart and tell him to increase his speed with your words and action" I thought and removed my hand from my chest before he would have noticed.

"You didn't answer me? Does my presence affect you?" I shook my head negatively.

"Your facial expressions don't match with your answer, butterfly," He said teasingly.

"Shut up"  He kept his finger on his lips.

"Why does he need to act cute now?" I cursed looking at him. He was making me fall for him with every action. Why? Why is he affecting me this much? It's not good. I can't let this stupid feeling called 'LOVE' destroy my life. I can't...

"Stay away" I mumbled the same words to him that I said to him yesterday.

"If your happiness comes from me being away then I will," He said. I turned my head in another direction, not able to understand why his presence affected me so much. I was looking at the ground when suddenly my vision became blurry.

"Fuck.. I forgot to eat anything… My blood pressure again got high" I thought and held my head as it started spinning. My mysterious man was about to cross me but I held his hand.

"Ivanna" He held me before I tripped on the ground, feeling dizzy.

"My blood pressure" I clutched his shirt tightly in my fist. He circled his hand around my waist.

"High or low?" He asked before picking me up in his arms.

"High" I replied and closed my eyes, resting my head on his chest.

"Open the door" I opened my eyes and looked at him confusingly. He pointed towards a car. I nodded my head and opened the door. He made me sit in the front seat and then picked up the water bottle from the back seat.

"Have some water" He made me drink water with his hand and then tightened my seat belt. I closed my eyes, feeling dizzy.

"What do you do when your BP gets high?" He asked, almost getting panicked.

"Cold shower" I replied what came into my mind first without thinking much.

"Noted" He muttered. I opened my eyes when he started the engine of his car.

"Where are we going?"

"Do you trust me?" he asked, looking into my eyes. I shook my head negatively.

"I don't trust anyone," I replied and a lone tear rolled from my eyes. "Whomever I trust that person broke it into a thousand pieces" I muttered. He wiped my tears lovingly.

"shh.. don't cry.. stress is not good for you especially when your blood pressure is high," He said while driving his car not knowing where. I closed my eyes, losing my consciousness.

"Ivanna.. keep your eyes open" He tapped on my cheeks, bringing me to sense. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He didn't get scared when my enemies were beating him or I pointed a gun at him but he got scared just by seeing me in this condition.

"Keep talking to me," he said, looking at the road.

"Why did you come back? Why? Didn't I tell you to stay away from me" He looked at my side upon hearing me. He moved his thumb over my left cheek.

"You really want me to stay away from you?" He asked, looking into my eyes.

"Look at the road not me" I yelled, trying to hide my emotions behind anger. He smiled in response. I bowed my eyes, not able to look into his eyes which are filled with affection and love. I get lost in it.

"You're making me feel something that I didn't want to. You're doing everything that nobody did for me after my parents. All your gestures and care towards me are making my life difficult. Please don't come to meet me again. even if destiny crossed our path then act like a stranger."

"Stranger?" I nod my head.

"Act like you don't know me and we have never met each other before. please... I beg you to stay away from me. The emotions you're raising in my heart are making my life difficult. I loved Stefan all my life and he" before I could have completed he applied for the break. I look at him.

"I don't want to listen about your love life" he snarled, tightening his grip around the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry… I was blabbering without thinking much. '' I mumbled and wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes. He stared at me for a minute before starting his car. I held my forehead, my headache was giving me a hard time.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked after a while.

"I could have asked the same question from you last night" He replied and stopped the car. I looked at him and then outside the window. He parked the car in front of the large hotel. He hopped down and ran to my side then opened the door. Before I could have asked him anything, he picked me up in his arms.

"Why did you bring me here?" He didn't reply and ran inside.

"check in with Aaron Smith's name" he muttered and ran towards the back side of the hotel. My eyes went to the large pool.

"Why did you bring me?" Before I could complete my question, he threw me into a pool, making me gasp.

"ohh god" I screamed and started struggling to get on the surface. I don't even know how to swim. Yesterday I was about to lose my life in a blast and today I'm drowning. Is some final destination movie scene going on in my life? Please save me, god.. Please… I don't want to die like this...

"Butterfly" I heard his scream. The next thing I heard was the voice of water as someone jumped inside it. It didn't take me long to understand who jumped to save me. My lunatic stranger pulled me closer holding my waist. I encircled both my legs around his waist.

"You half-wit" I yelled and rested my head on his shoulder, breathing heavily. He moved his free hand on my back.

"Calm down" I parted away from him.

"Why did you throw me into a pool?" I yelled, glaring at him.

"You told me a cold shower will help to bring your blood pressure down" He muttered confusingly.

"So you throw me into a pool filled with cold water?" I asked to which he nodded his head innocently.

"I gave you the right name.. You're a half-wit" I chuckled and rested my head on his chest, unable to understand what he was doing to me. He is driving me insane with every passing second.
