Ivanna
"Actually... I.. it happened last night. After coming from the shower I was trying to blow dry my hairs. So, the dryer touched my neck", I lie.
"Really?", he exclaims.
"Yeah. So, I left it and came beside you to sleep", I mumble. I hope he believes. He catches me every time I lie.
I lower my eyes, preparing myself for more questions. He gets up and cups my face, his eyes glued to my neck. He looks at it intensely, lightly touching the band-aid. I just stare at him and his concern filled face.
"You should be careful", he says, looking at my neck. "Did it burn too much?"
"No", I sigh as he trusted my words.
Ivanna"Where's Mr Adavan? I haven't seen him for the whole day?", Christian asks on the dining table. I along with the doctor's team are having dinner at the dining table and Martha is serving us.I have almost erased the incident from my mind but Adavan's name took me back to the most horrible experience. I gulp my saliva and take another spoonful of rice."He is in Toronto for a concert", Martha says. "It'll need a few days"That's better if he stays away from me at least until Christian recovers and I leave from this place. Adavan has already tied me with a contract which I can't break."Oh! That's great. He hasn't been out of Washington in a while. I hope this concert will be
Ivanna"Dismiss? What contract?", he asks.I tell him about the contract which I signed before joining the firm and the clauses."So childish, Ivanna. You didn't read the contract?", he exclaims."Now you don't get started, please. Christian has already scolded me enough for it. Tell me if I can dismiss it or not", I ask."Well, I'm not a lawyer", he laughs. "But I have a little bit of knowledge. A contract can be dismissed if one of the parties isn't agreeing to do that. Moreover, you need the copy of the contract which you don't have with you know. If you wanna go for any legal action you'll need that contract paper", he says.
IvannaI run out of the room and directly climb to the second floor when I see Christian climbing the stairs."There you are. What took you so long? Are you ok?", he touches my cheek."Yeah", I smile. We climb down through the stairs together. I couldn't make it.We bid goodbye to everyone and the driver drives towards the highway.Adavan"Clever girl", I smirk, looking at the recording of my room. Iva must be searching for the contract papers. Does she think that I'm a fool? How can I leave the most important contract like this?It's the actual key to her whi
IvannaI ring the doorbell in frustration for more than five times in a second."Coming. Who is it? Can't you have some patience?", mom opens the door and gets surprised, finding me here. She didn't know I'm coming as I wanted to give her a surprise."Ivanna", she beams and hugs me tight. I hug her back."I missed you, mom", I say."I missed you too. Did you cry?", she figures out by my voice and breaks the hug. "What happened? And where's Christian?"I pass her a blank look as she asks about Christian."Don't talk about him", I angrily pass by her and dump my backpack on
Ivanna"But I want to", I'm still stuck with my attitude. He ignores my words and buries his neck inside my damp hairs. I can't help closing my eyes as he places a warm kiss on my neck."You say something, but you don't mean that", he mumbles into my neck."Is that so?", I frown."Yeah. Just like, you don't want me to go, still, you are telling me to go. You also want to drive me crazy with the strokes of your wet hairs, but you pretend to dry them so that I can stop you", he mutters, brushing his nose on my skin,
Christian"I wanna talk to you, babe. Open the door", I tap on it, frustration filling inside me."I don't wanna talk. I'm feeling sleepy and you may leave", she yells."Ok, fine. You can sleep but open the damn door, Ivanna", I yell back. "Here, I'm preparing myself to talk to her calmly, however, I forgot that she is too much stubborn.I don't hear anything from her for a minute. She is not gonna listen to me today. I slide my hand down from the door and turn to go as I hear the sound of the door abruptly. Immediately turning back I discover her glaring at me."Ba....", I can't complete as she walks towards her bed, taking big and heavy steps. I follow her inside. She buries herself in
Christian"Yes. Why does this even matter now? This is not the topic", she shrugs.Heck! I wanted to hit my head hard. Why couldn't I detect her aggressive behaviour today? She is on her periods that why she was getting on my nerves."Go to hell now. I fucking don't care. D whatever you want", she shouts at me and lies down on the bed again, wrapping herself with the blanket.I am feeling too much guilty now. I should've noticed her behaviour. She always loses it whenever she is on her periods. I shouldn't behave like this. However, I was too much disturbed by all this which led me to the frustration.Sitting on the bed again, I caress her hairs."Didn't you leave?",
ChristianMy jaw drops. What did she just say? I look at her in disbelief."Pregnant? Well, are you upset that you are not pregnant?", I ask her confusingly."Maybe", she says in a sad tone. "I thought I'm gonna conceive for sure as we didn't have the protection that night. I was somehow prepared for the consequences. But...", she drops her gaze.I can't believe she was expecting to get pregnant when most of the girls are afraid of it."Sometimes it doesn't happen even if we don't take protection", I just utter this line as I don't know how to console a girl when she is disappointed because she couldn't get pregnant. Moreover, to my own girlfriend!&
