STRANGER

Chapter 2 

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY ANGEL"

Everyone in the room stop in their track as a strong voice echoes from  the doorstep.Seanah slowly looks back, she is shaken up by the intensity of the voice.When she takes a look at the direction of the voice she finds herself speechless , the sight in front of her took her breath away. She can say without a doubt that the tall man standing in their doorstep is the most beautiful man no the most beautiful human being she have ever seen.

A soft gasp leaves his mouth while gazing at her intensely. But she hears that.

He doesn't move , she doesn't move , everyone seems to be in a trance.

In that moment Seanah observes the stranger with wide eyes.The man is wearing black suit pants with jacket and black shirt underneath which clinging to his broad muscles like a second skin while his long jacket is hanging loosely on top.He has his one hand tucked in his pocket and she can see the other hand which is wrapped up in a dark glove.

Then finally she gazes upon his face,for that she has to arch her neck up considering the tall mountain like figure standing before her.And casting one glance at his face, first thing that her eyes directly caught attention is a pair of dark eyes which was staring at her intensely all this time.This makes her realize what she is actually doing. 'Stupid Seanah! Gawking at a stranger like...stupid ! Stupid!!' she mentally hits her head while turning flush red with embracement.

Then she carefully peers through her long eyelashes up at him to see him smiling down at her. To say the least the man is otherworldly! It is clear that anyone can sense powerful , mysterious and dangerous aura around him.But she can also feel the some kind of warmth in those dark eyes.No one can imagine how his finely sculpted stone like face can look breathtaking when it breaks into a smile.

 "So pretty." Seanah mumbles to herself. 

The man takes a step forward,  as if a predator successfully distracted his pry , now acting upon his instinct to catch the pry and the pry finally realizes it . She quickly runs to her mother and hide behind her.Seanah is naturally very shy and she never interact with people outside except her only friend Jimmy.

It is really surprising she was staying calm while looking at the stranger all this time. When in reality he is the last person people find calm to look at.

The man instantly stops in his track.A shock and hurt expression runs across his face which the girl doesn't pay attention to as she is busy hiding her embarrassedly scared self behind her mother.

"It's okay, he won't hurt you!" her mother tries to calm her.But she never saw this man before in their home so how can her mother be so sure that this man will not harm her. Her mother always says that people outside their home is danger!

She slowly peeks through from behind her momma to see the man to see him standing there with his glove hand clenching.He is staring right at her with a certain emotion in his eyes. 

Seeing Seanah stare he starts walking towards her direction and Seanah is quick to hide her face behind her mother.What amazes her is the fact that nobody question him as why he is here and seems as afraid as her.

The sound of his footstep His footsteps is loud in the quite room.Finally he stops right in front of her mother.

Silence.

Seanah can feel her heartbeat more and more with every passing second.

"MOVE"

His one command is enough for her mother to move aside instantly. As soon as her mother moved she stare at him wide eyed for a second before running to the stairs panicking. Before even he could come near her she ran. 

And that was her mistake.She realizes that as soon as her one step tangled to her long princess dress while other hits the stair step abruptly making her fall instantly fall backwards on her head. Making a loud sound echo in the living room,another very loud roar and few screams follow soon.

This happened so fast that no one could do anything.

And last thing she hears is her name coming out of a deep voice and sees a dark ocean like eyes staring right at her own but this time the dark ocean like eyes spreads it's darkness making everything in her vision black.

Seanah is feeling warm and cozy. 

She doesn't know for how long she was asleep but now she doesn't feel like waking up from this blissful warmth.She feels strong arms around her tighten and hot wind blow over her face.This gets her confused .

So she tries to open her eyes only to feel a massive pounding headache . Instantly Closing her eyes more tightly she let out a small whimper. She feels that strong arm moves her closer to a much warm solid thing.

"ANGEL?"

'That deep voice!' She thinks to herself to the unknown as well as oddly familiar voice which runs chills through her being and calm her at the same time.

"Is it hurting!?Angel!

try and open your eyes slowly," 

At this the little girl pouts and tightly closes her eyes even more.The voice sounds panicked!

Those arms move again and hold onto her tightly. "It won't hurt I promise , open your gorgeous eyes for me."

"Let ME see you stare at me!"

At that statement it feels a sin would be committed if she does otherwise. 

"Slowly open." She feels rough finger tips creasing her eyelids softly.

She knows she is in her bed,home,she can never not know that when she literally spent all her life here and knowing that consoles her a little bit.

She is now terrified to see the owner of the deep voice . Then again the voice is so soft and caring towards her that she wants to be only closer to the voice.No matter what darkness lurking around the voice to her it only seems inviting.

So she opens her eyes slowly and gasps to see a deep dark eyes staring at her own.The gorgeous eyes are glossy slightly and looking very tired!

'Him.' there can be no fault at recognizing the man.

'It's the man from earlier!' He looks at her,like really checking her out with concerned and busy eyes...

And now that she is up close to him she she does what she was itching to do for the time she laid her eyes on him, she quietly observes him, his face; mentally awing.'How can one person be this pretty!?' She unintentionally thinks. His dark hair messy, she thinks he has unnaturally extra hair which are a curly mess right now. His thick eyebrows matching his eyes and hair while his lips are pale red.And those jawlines of his are sharp just like Greek sculpture.'There is no scars or acne?!' To sum it all up, His whole face is sculpted with attractiveness.

'He can clearly be mistaken by a statue of mythology if he stays still!' She thinks to herself with mouth agape.But there is that roughness that adds to his dominant aura.Some unknown evil lurking there somewhere.

When he notices that she is staring at him he quickly does one thing that she never thought he would do right that moment.

He pulls her in his arms and murmurs softly something in her hair that she can't understand or hear properly.He holds her tightly to his chest . 'Where is my momma?'she thinks while recalling what happened before. 'Stupid Seanah!' She was running on the stairs wearing that long princess dress! She was running from him and now see where it leads to her.

But she feels warm here so she thinks she will stay put for a second.

"You're all well and safe now Angel." He murmurs."Angel? Please talk to me? Just tell me that you are not hurt anymore."

"Seanah" she mumbles out softly in his chest.

"Hm...what? Wait I need to call the doctor!" 

" No, my name ....it's Seanah. " she slowly say him not moving my head from his chest. 

'He must thinks my name is angel as he keeps calling me that?' So she tries to correct him.But who's gonna tell her? 

It is silent for a moment . So she peeks from where her head is resting on his chest and see him smiling at me with something unrecognizable in his eyes ,something so warm that makes her hart melt. 

Then he laughs that makes her shake as his chest vibrates.

"I know sweetness , I know very well , you will be overwhelmed as to how well I know this one very name." His voice slows down to whisper but she doesn't miss any word as she is very close to him.

He keeps her closer. 

Closer than before and tighten his hold . 

"How?" 

She can't believe it;a stranger here claiming to know her while she is completely clueless about him!

He becomes serious, his face again resembles a stone cold sculpture.He was already looks down at her and she freezes when she stares back and just like earlier when she saw him for the first time, the very same expression that made her want to ran away and hide and made her want to hug him to be closer to him at the same time. 

The words that comes from his mouth next stops her heart and soon makes it beat two times faster.

"Because one can never knows anything better than the only thing they live for."

PERORATION :

A black clothed tall man roams around Seanah's room with a giant box in his hand. Paying attention to everything including small paintings that she made, teddies that she loves.A small smile form on his face as he looks around her room.

He stops in front of the window looking out thinking something deeply for a moment.

Then proceeds to get everything out of the box. He lays down a beautiful princess dress and a diamond butterfly tiara on her bed.

Then he goes out of her room urgently.
