15 - Dead Look
Her head was flooded with blood. So, does that mean she's unattractive? As if she didn't know that he's almost crazy on her body. She shook on that thought. She wasn't sure whether she'd be delighted or offended by his comment.
Shit! Abhaya temporarily slowed down the car. The enemies are no longer following them. She then stop the car and fix the towel in its knot. She began driving the car again.
Is there a storm? That's what she was thinking. She attempted to speak with Jackylyn on the other end of the line, but no one responded. She's hoping everything turns out good and Jacky survives since she won't be able to forgive herself if she doesn't.
She cast a backward glance at Hudson. For a brief while, his eyes were closed and he appeared to be contemplating. Then his cellphone in the pocket rang, he immediately took it. Someone has called. Abhaya returned her gaze on the road. She's not happy that they'd eluded their pursuers 'coz she knew that wasn't the end of the story.
"I'm fine, man. It means nothing to me."
Her brow furrowed in response to what it stated. Even though the rain was pouring heavily outside, her hearing remained strong, and she could plainly hear the man's words.
"There's no need. I'll return your call. Anyway, I already had a lead. I hacked thousands of people using Travis in the last few weeks."
She was still listening. She believes it's Cuhen Malcogn.
"My opponent is fucking serious to kill me, but don't worry, Cuhen mate, I've got this. I know who's behind it now. ”
He's knows already?!
Does it mean, Hudson outnumbered them? Oh yeah, she has forgotten. Dr. Hudson Herrence Hayes, who graduated as Suma Cum Laude abroad and has a high IQ. He's a robot, not a human.
Because of the heavy rain, Abhaya was obliged to pull over to the side of the road. She thinks they're in middle of the woods. She didn't recognize the location she had entered because she was in a hurry to drive. She simply shrugged and turned off the car's headlights. She also turned off the air conditioning. Hudson had already tossed his cellphone on the edge of the chair and rested his arm on his forehead while lying back.
She rolled her eyes and brushed it off. It was only then that she realized she was still wearing a towel on her head. She took it off quickly and combed her hair with her hand. The fervour of the lightning and thunder nearly blinded her.
She silently sighed as she remembered that she used to be terrified of lightning and thunder, but not any longer. She believe she has overcome her phobia. Her eyes glowed with melancholy as she remembered the past, but she swiftly removed it from her thoughts. She was sick of traveling back and forth between pages.
She looked out the window, the darkness that had spread throughout each area and the savagery of the rain.. She took a long breath. She felt a pang of pain in the corner of her heart and couldn't figure out what it was for.
"Put this on."
When Hudson handed her his leather jacket, she look at him. She didn't say anything. She is unsure whether she will accept it or not. She opted for the latter. "There's no need."
"I know you're naked beneath that towel," he replied coldly, throwing stares at her, which she promptly caught. "In the first place you shouldn't be here, Ms. Trunt."
"Are you insane?" she retorted angrily, "You dragged me earlier."
"Well yeah! You're not fit to be a bodyguard. After all, you're a burden. ”
Bull's eye. It's like she had been struck across the face with his razor-sharp tongue. In any case, Hudson knows how to damage her by using words. But not anymore!
"I take it as a compliment, Doctor Hayes." She then grabbed his jacket and put it on.
His jacket almost covered her. She smelled it and she was taken aback to smell his favorite perfume from then and today.
She unwrapped the towel that had been wrapped around her body inside, and she breathed more freely, but not fully, because she was naked inside. When lightning and thunder struck again, Abhaya decided to relax and they would go when the rain stopped. She reclined back in the car seat and closed her eyes slowly until she fell asleep then she was visited by flashbacks...
ABHAYA checked her phone to see whether Hudson had texted her. Two weeks have passed since they have sex, and whether she admits it or not, her body is searching for him. She didn't get a message or a phone call from him. She simply exclaimed and glanced at her personal computer.
When Freia touched her, she commented, "You look like a dead batt."
She only stared her and returned her gaze to the screen. She recalls the moment continuously, she gave all to the man her body her like a fool. Is it really necessary for her to wait for something? Like miracle?
"Oh my goodness! Girl, look! He's hot!"
"What?" she retorted, irritated.
“Look! Our big boss is with a very attractive man, and goodness, the hook of my bra is loosening! The scorching!”
She suddenly became nervous. Really? In her opinion, no one else was as attractive as Hudson. She immediately look around just to be surprised.
"Is Ms. Sahada present?" A baritone voice she heard, and she recognized it's Mr. Cuhen Malcogn.
She abruptly stood up. God! "Yes, boss? I'm here," she couldn't stare him. She simply bowed her head. She became uncomfortable and trembled.
"Doctor Hayes requires your assistance."
She immediately looked up, and there she saw the man she had been thinking about. She was taken aback when she saw his gorgeous drop deadly handsome face. He just looked at her with a serious expression on its face.
"Come with me." He said, and they turned away.
She was caught off guard. Freia, on the other hand, was soaked in salt like a worm, and she shivered as she followed them.
"Good luck, girl."
Good luck? Her heart almost stop.
They end up dining together in a posh restaurant. Her boss Mr. Malcogn already left. She clung to the menu since she was awkward in her seat. She'd lost the self-confidence she'd always exuded. There's a lot pf questions entered her mind, as though that's why Hudson is here now. Was he missing her as much as she was missing him?
"You're trembling," he said.
She took a glace. His gaze remains fixed on the menu he's reading. "My first." she said shyly.
"Okay." He drop the menu. "Be my guest, my shoot."
She flushed unexpectedly as a result of the aforementioned shoot. She recalled how many times he claimed her, and how many times she had felt the hot liquid he discharged into her.
She only then ordered a salad since she wasn't hungry. Who would want to dine in front of a man who had so easily taken her heart?
"I have something to offer."
"Huh?"
"We both know we like what happened, and I am the first person you've ever let. Abhaya, be my fucking buddy I want you as a woman. I want you to complete and warm me in bed. Be my player."
She became red when she heard what he said. What?! She was unable to speak right away. She had no idea this was the man's plan for her. Her heart swelled with rage, but when her gaze fell on his green eyes, she nodded hypnotically.
"I'm... I'm ready to play."
Goodness! You're stupid, you're stupid.
And that's how their not-so-love tale began...
SHE WAS awakened by a gentle pat on the cheek. She blinked up her eyes and shook her head as she recalled nightmares about her relationship with Hudson. She is constantly reminded of her folly.
She initially observed that the sun had recently passed through the sky. It was early in the morning, and she gazed forward. She was startled to see a fallen tree and several broken branches obstructing the path in front of them. She exited by opening the door. She looked around; they were in the middle of the woods. She began to walk on her own two feet. She was used to it, so she simply walked. She had no idea if Hudson had followed.
"Where's your phone?" she asked, turning to him. He was already perched on the hood of the car, staring at her.
"Why?"
"I'm going to call someone," she said.
"No."
She almost want to punch him. She'll simply call Yx to rescue them with a chopper. It is risky for them to go without a car. They couldn't cross since a huge tree was blocking the path. It's a good thing it didn't land on them.
She simply ignored what he said. Because of the severe rain, the road she was walking on was muddy. Her other hand was clutching the gun, when Abhaya felt her body float in the air.
"What!" she yelled angrily, "Put me down, you asshole!"
Hudson just merely stared at her with his bored eyes and didn't say anything. He stepped up like a husband carrying his wife. She punch his chest.
"Stop it," he said angrily. "Or, I'll drop you right now."
"Its my life! Put me down!"
"There are times I want to stop you with my lips."
Her brow furrowed in response of what he said, "If you want me to murder you, then be my guest." and she give him a dead looks.
