Stuck

Tiara's POV

"Damn!!" I have been stuck at the bus stand, for two hours drenched in rain. Waiting for the bus, but damn not a single bus passed. And my phone is also switched off.

I can only imagine what will be my uncle's reaction, seeing that I was supposed to return by 8 and here it is already 10 at the night.

Spending another few minutes, I decided to walk rather than be stuck. Because either way, I am late, drenched with no other way to go back.

Wrapping my arms around myself, to give myself some warmth from the cold, I started my walk back home.

"What were you thinking Tiara? Seriously you could have ordered that book. But no you couldn't wait for a day and came out of town to buy it. Wow now enjoy." I angrily muttered to myself, sarcastically.

I may have only taken a few steps when I saw flashlights of a coming car. Waving my hand to it. I asked for a lift with hope. The car came closer, but instead of stopping, it passed by me.

And there went my last hope. My shoulders and face fell with disappointment. I felt like crying in my situation.

I was mopping at my situation but suddenly hearing the horns of a car, I raised my head to see the same car, I asked for a lift earlier, standing in front of me.

A hopeful smile immediately took over my face. Moving closer I knocked on the driver's window to ask for help.

But no sooner did the windows roll down, than I started questioning myself if I want help.

Because the person driving was none other than Mr Stefano Valentino. The same man who in the last few days had occupied a lot of thoughts.

"Get in." I don't know if it's only me or everyone, but I feel whatever he says is a command. A command you can't deny.

"You don't have any other option, Tiara. There is no take it or leave it. You can't be stuck here for the whole night." the rational part of me, reasoned to me. So finally after a pep talk, I sighed and going around, I took my seat on the passenger side.

"Thank you" I meekly said, while wearing my seat belt. Nodding he started the car.

I was feeling very awkward, sitting drenched in his car. But suddenly a thought panicked me.

My book!!!

Panicking, thinking that it might have been ruined due to rain I hurriedly opened my bag to find my book safe. Only drenched a little at the corners. Taking it out from the bag I put it on the back seat to dry. Then I put the bag at my feet and smiled with satisfaction.

"All this trouble for one book." in my state of panic, I forgot about Mr Valention.

"It was the last copy." I rationalized my action. Peeking a glance at him I found his eyes straight on the road, his left hand's index finger drumming the steering wheel.

Thinking that he is busy driving. I took the time to read his beautiful features. It was like, god used all his talents on him, and give him a flawless body. I mean how can a person look so perfect. He was the definition of captivating. I am sure if he is in a room, he will be the only thing your eyes will yearn to keep looking at.

Oogling at him, my eyes went to his messily styled hairs, and my hands yearned to set them back. I wonder if they will be as soft as they seem. Moving down my eyes stopped at his purplish-pink lips.

"So edible." the dirty part of my brain pointed out. As if I don't already know that.

I sighed dreamily, wishing how I wish can taste those lips for once only.

The thought tinted my face red, and I am sure, I am looking like a tomato right now.

"Seriously Tiara you lose it. For god's sake, he is Celina's uncle, he is double your age. And here you are eye-fucking him." I scolded my raging hormones for lusting over Mr Valentino.

But in my defence who won't.

Arghh!! This hormone. I screamed inwardly with frustration.

"We are here." the deep commanding voice broke my self-talk. And that's when I realised, that we are parked in front of my house.

Embarrassed, I fumbled in opening my seat belt. But the damn thing was not ready to open.

Argh!!! Why god why. Hadn't I embarrassed myself enough? I said frustratedly.

I was busy tugging it to open it anyhow when suddenly a warm touch stopped my movements. His touch sent tingles all over my body, and my breath hitched. He was art racing at double speed. His cologne misted all my senses. It is now my favourite smell from now onwards.

And just in one snap, he opened the seat belts. Just like that.

Mr Valentino turned towards me, his face only inches away from mine, and now that I am looking into his from this close, I realised his eyes are darker than I thought, they are hypnotising.

"Ms Williams," he whispered his breath fanning my face. His proximity clouded my judgements.

"Hmm" I answered involuntarily.

"You can step out." at this I came out from the haze I was in, gulping I nodded. Opening I just had taken my one leg out when his words stopped.

"And Ms Williams..", I turned to look at him "next time when you ogle at someone, remember that, they have eyes too," he said smirking devilishly.

Embarrassed, I quickly stepped out and ran to my front doors. Not daring to turn to know if he left or not.

"You bitch. He checked you out too" my inner bitch smiled mischievously.

A little crush never knew is gonna a lot of things in my life.
