CHAPTER 12

I was crazily looking everywhere. I searched her whole apartment twice, but nothing. I went back to her room to see what have I missed? And yes, I have missed one place to look, her closet. I opened the closet door and found her on the ground, sleeping. I sighed in relief, knowing that she's fine. I quickly dialled Iris. I knew my mother and Iris must be very worried by now.



Iris: "Tell me you found her and she's okay!"



Chris: "Yes. She is sleeping in her closet. I think she was crying and dosed off."



Iris: "Oh! Thank God she's fine."



Chris: "Tell mother and father. I'm gonna stay with her to make sure she is fine."



Iris: "Okay."



Chris: "And Iris."



Iris: "Yes"



Chris: "Don't disturb."



Iris: "Okay my cheesy brother, I won't."



Chris: "Shut up Iris."



Iris: "Okay okay. Fine. I won't."



I hung up, smiling. I went to balcony and told her neighbor that I found her and she's fine. Also to thanked her for the help. Then I went back to the closet. I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. She slowly opened her eyes.



Cassie: Chris!!!!



CASSIE'S POV:-



I felt someone's caressing my cheek. I slowly, lazily opened my eyes and found Chris. Smiling weakly. "How did he know I would be here? How did he find me? Did he follow me?" I thought but all could say was.



Cassie: Chris!!!!



Chris: You scared the hell out of me Candy.



As he said those words and I started crying again. He wrapped his arms around me to comfort me a little. But It wasn't helping. I was sobbing hard. He scooped me up in his arms, stood up and carried me bridal style to my bed. I saw the glass of the sliding door was broken. He broke the glass to get in, as I used the spare keys of my apartment to get in. In the same position he sat on the bed with me on his lap. I put my head on his shoulder and was clutching his shirt by my hands. His head was on my head, one arm around me and with the other he was stroking my hair.



Chris: Why did you ran away?



Cassie: I just didn't want to face any one else.



Chris: You should have called me or wait for me.



Cassie: I'm sorry..



Chris: Shhhh..... It's okay. I'm here now. You're safe.



Cassie: He was right.



Chris: Who was right?



Cassie: Hendrick. He was right.



Chris: What did he say to you?



Cassie: He said I'll be get nothing but pity from others. I am ruined and unacceptable.



He didn't say anything but tightened his hold on me. He kissed the top of my head. Just like that he laid down on the bed and I was no on top of him.



Chris: You trust me?



Cassie: What do you mean Chris?



Chris: Do you trust me Cassie?



Cassie: Yes of course. I do, why?



Instead of answering me, he flipped us both in the bed. Now he was on top of me. I blushed hard. My heart was beating erratically in my chest.



Cassie: What are you doing?



Chris: What was left undone last night candy.



Cassie: Chris.....



My voice came out as a whisper.



Chris: I know Cassie.



He pecked my my forehead, then he kissed both of my eyes one after the other. Then he kissed my cheeks. Then he kissed tip of my nose then my chin. And then he pecked my lips. I gasped, he pecked my lips again and again until I gave in and kissed him back. I felt his lips curled up in a smile. He broke the kiss and said.



Chris: You were saying something candy?



He got up and went to untie all the curtains. Then he got rid of his tie. He kicked his shoes off and strip off his shirt. He turned off all the lights of my room. Then He turned back to me with a smirk plastered on his face. He came to the bed then and laid beside me. Tingling feeling shoot all over my body as he wrapped his arms around me again. We cuddle with each other. I inhaled his scent and he chuckled.



Cassie: What?



Chris: You seemed to like it a lot.



Cassie: Like what?



Chris: My scent....



My cheeks turned pink and I buried my face in his chest.



Chris: You know what. I like that very much.



Cassie: What?



Chris: Your blushing, embarrassed face.



He trailer his index finger from my collar bone up to my jawline.



Chris: The rosy pink color starts from here, from your shoulders, then through your neck it reaches to your cheeks, then end up here on the tip of your nose.



By the end of his trail, my breaths were so loud in all quiet room. He chuckled again.



Cassie: It's not funny Chris.



Chris: No it's very very hot.



Cassie: Stop it.



Chris: Make me.



His voice was so deep and seductive. My heart beat was getting faster by every passing minute.



Cassie: You're enjoying it, aren't you?



Chris: So are you.



Cassie: No I'm not.



Chris: Oh you are...



He said and bit my lower lip. A gasp escape my lips.



Cassie: I hate you.



Chris: Really.. but I love you.



I froze and looked back at him.



Cassie: What did you say?



Chris: I love you Cassie. You are an amazing person, your smile, your laugh. Your stubbornness, the care you showed to me and to everyone around you. In all those small loving moments I have fallen for you Cassie, hard. You can make me smile, you can make me laugh. You can make my worries and sorrows vanish.



I wrapped my arms around him as he kissed my forehead. I put my head back on his chest. I felt safe. I closed my eyes and drifted off.



CHRIS'S POV:-



I woke up at the sweet voice of the chirping birds. The room was dark. I looked at the beauty in my arms. She was sleeping peacefully, dreaming something that made her smile. I found it so cute that I couldn't stop myself from kissing her. I pecked her lips and earned back another cute smile. I rubbed the tip of my nose with her cheek and she slowly opened her eyes.



Chris: Good morning Candy.



Cassie: Good morning.



Chris: Did you sleep well?



Cassie: Yes and you?



Chris: Yep me too.



I kissed her forehead. She was blushing. Her face turned rosy pink again. I love the way she blushed every time I touched her or kissed her.



Cassie: Stop it Chris.



I smiled and kissed her cheek. She giggled. I held her close to me, she put her head back on my chest.



Cassie: Chris!



Chris: Hmmm.



Cassie: Did you mean it?



Chris: Mean what?



Cassie: Nothing, forget it.



I smiled, knowing exactly what she meant.



Chris: I know it's complicated. But I meant every single word I said to you. If you need time to think about it, you can take as long as you need. I'm not gonna push you or rush things.



She looked up at me smiling widely but that smile suddenly fell as I saw pain in her eyes.



Chris: What is it Cassie? Why the sad face.



Cassie: I'm not good for you Chris.



Chris: What? Why would you even say anything like that?



Cassie: Because I'm impure and you deserve someone better and pure.



Chris: I am also divorced.



Cassie: Yeah but you weren't.....



I cut her in the middle sentence with a kiss. I hold her close to me. Close enough to tell her that I don't care and it doesn't matter. No Matter What, but I love her. Hendrick might have took her innocence but her heart, her feelings, her emotions and her soul were still pure. So it doesn't matter for me what happened to her. It wasn't her fault. For me she was still my pure and innocent Cassie. I broke the kiss and wiped her tears by my thumbs.



Chris: Cassie, what ever happened with you, wasn't your fault. You are innocent. Non of us had any idea that it could happened. So I don't care what happened. The past is in the past. Cassie, love is senseless. The only thing make sense in love is actually Love. Love is pure but impure as well. Love is weakness but strength as well. Love is hard but soft as well. Love is crazy and confusing and ain't make any sense. But love is the only emotion in this world that doesn't need to make sense.



Hearing this she smiled and kissed my palm that was touching her lips slightly. She tried to say something but instead she wrapped her arms around my waist. I did the same. I wrapped one arm around her waist and rubbed her back in circular motion by the other.



Cassie: I love you too.



Chris: What? Say that again!



Cassie: I love you too Chris. I love you too. And I don't think I can live without you.



Hearing her words. I felt my heart warmed up with all the emotions. I tightened my arms around her. She gasped and spoke.



Cassie: Chris! I can't breathe.



I smiled and ease her in my arms. I was happy. After decades, I was finally happy. When I married to Emma, my happinesses, my smiles and my emotions, all disappeared. She turned my life in hell and took away my happinesses. But the moment Cassie came in my life, it all changed. I got hope, I started smiling again, I got my emotions back. One simple science girl changed my life again. I pinched her chin and guided her gaze to my eyes.



Chris: I promise you Cassie. I will bring all the happinesses to you. I will try my best to make your dreams come true. I will give you everything you have ever dreamed of.



She smiled and pecked my lips.



Cassie: Every thing I want or need, is right here in front of me.



Chris: What?



Cassie: It's you dummy.



She smiled and I wrapped my arms around her again.



CASSIE'S POV:-



He wrapped his arms around me again. To be honest, it's felt so so good. I was happy. And I wasn't scared anymore. Ever since I've been kidnapped, I even got scared if someone called me from behind. It felt so amazing. The feeling of someone loving you unconditionally, was so good. I didn't know why but I was thankful to God that Hendrick Black kidnapped me. Or I'll be with that sick stupid Sam. I wanted to spend my whole life in Chris' arms. I wasn't worried or sacred anymore. I was happy.



Cassie: So are we planning to stay here, in my bed all day?



Chris: That's a good idea. Don't you think?



Cassie: Iris will eat me alive.



Chris: Not when she'll get what she wants to hear from us.



Cassie: Don't you dare tell her all that.



Chris smiled and kissed me again. The feeling was amazing. And I didn't want it to end.
