Enchanted Love

With the sound of a small kid, she walked to the hall as if owning the place like a queen. Her white fur snuggled the floor as she jumped to Clara’s hand instantly wailing her tail. Clara closed her eyes in frustration. Alex needs to grow. He was scared of this beautiful little thing?

“Okay, that’s not any thief or intruder. But a small tiny kitten!” Clara muttered under her breath as she took her pet in her hand. She turned to see Alex who was very scared as if the cat was going to attack him at any time.

“Are you even scared of cats?” She asked as she ruffled the hair of the kitten who seemed to enjoy being in her arms.

“Don’t touch it. It will bite you” he screamed and jumped again. Both are startled by a loud thud. Clara widened her eyes, seeing her beautiful couch in pieces.

“You, idiot. You broke my couch” Clara screamed as she threw the pillows over his side. Bella and Ron came running to the living room to see the scene.

“I told you a thousand times, Clara. Not to let this cat inside our home. What is it doing here?” Bella freaked out. She hates whenever the cat messes up her home.

“Will you ask him what he did with my couch?” Clara is now pissed off with her mom’s behaviour. She has been favourable towards Alex and it’s not alright for sure.

“Oh my God,” Bella came near Alex.

“Are you hurt anywhere?” she asked as she helped him to stand up. Clara gaped at her.

“I didn’t ask you to check on him. Check my couch” Clara stomped her foot.

“Thank God it’s broken at last. I always hated to have this tiny couch which is spoiling my designed sofa in the living room” that was pretty harsh from Bella’s side as Clara gaped at her mom. She cannot believe that her mom is okay with that, who can’t bear it even if there is a scratch on a wall.

“Please, ask her to take the kitten away” Alex tried to not show his scared kid’s face but it’s all visible to even a small kid.

Clara removed her hands purposefully whereas the kitten ran again, making Alex freak out. Now it’s the time for Clara to laugh out loudly. She didn’t care about her couch as she couldn’t control her laughter seeing Alex’s state. He has never been like this. A grown-up guy jumping like a kid and getting scared by a small kitten. It must be a treat to watch.

Everyone around her was just calm seeing how she was glowing when she laughed. It’s like the old Clara is back. Alex wanted to pull her for at least a hug. She looks so pure whenever she laughs like this. Bella wiped her corner eyes not to show her emotions transparently. Ron admired her daughter as if his prayers were answered.

Clara closed the door of her parent’s room and turned to see Alex struggling to even walk straight. Damn it. How can the night be so bad and long?

“Did you give me something wrong to take revenge?” Alex asked as his eyes blurred unusually and he felt like falling anytime.

“I asked you to leave once you take this medicine so that you can sleep in your home. But you were very busy mingling with my parents.” Clara taunted but she didn’t even budge to help him, who is struggling to hold support.

“What did you give?” He asked as it started spinning again like he was on the spinning wheel.

“It’s just an antibiotic combined with a sleeping dose so that you can get a nice sleep and it could help to lessen your back pain” Clara replied uninterested but she ran to his side when he was about to fall.

“Dammit. Now you want to sleep here too?” She asked but got no response from his side. He is completely exhausted and leaned over her petite frame for support. When he realized that she was near him, he relaxed a bit and leaned further over her shoulder, making it hard to even move.

“Mr Smirh. I can’t carry you. I am not a superwoman. Just be a little cooperative. Let’s go to my room!” She added as she struggled to take him to her room.

“What are you planning to do with me in your room?” His voice was not stable but she could hear his nonsense.

“Just wait and watch what all I am going to do” Clara replied with a hint of danger but he smiled in response.

Once she entered, she pushed him like a rice rag as he rolled up to the bed and slept instantly in the same position.

Clara looked at his sleeping figure and sighed tiredly. She wanted to sleep early today in her bed all alone. What a messed up day. She helped him to lay there comfortably and soon a small smile appeared on his face responding to her gesture. She removed the socks and sat beside him.

After contemplating for about fifteen minutes, she hesitantly took her hand to remove the first two buttons of her shirt.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

No bad idea. It was just to let him sleep as he was sweating so bad in her hot room. There was no ac in her room.

Her eyes fell over his chest. A slight green line was visible. She couldn’t resist but opened the third button to see the entire thing. She looked at the stylish big C and a heart with Jaan. His tattoo was so stylish and holds lots of memories. She runs her fingers to touch the skin.

A fresh memory rushed to her mind as she touched the tattoo. She ran her fingers long way to it while recalling the moment

Flashback:

“You should wear a full dress when you work out in the gym” Clara yelled at Alex and sat over her sofa with a huge frown.

“Jaan, it will be uncomfortable” Alex pulled her for a hug but she pushed him off immediately.

“Every girl was staring at you.” She replied with a cute pout which compelled him to chuckle and kiss her forehead instantly.

“Oh, my Jaan is jealous?” He asked as he made her sit over his lap bordering her with his both hands.

“I am not jealous. It’s just that I don’t want their hearts to hurt. I mean they might get attracted and might even want to have a chance with you” she replied honestly.

“Well, in that case, I will not go to the gym.” He decided as she widened her eyes. He is very sweet all the time. How can he not go to the gym whose day can never begin without a workout? He is very considerate with her thoughts and the only thing that compels her to hide most of her fears as she doesn’t want to feel so burdened by his nature.

“It’s not that. I just wanted to be convinced by you like the way you always do. It’s not about the gym anyway.” Clara replies with a shy smile, making Alex widen his eyes. She is becoming naughty day by day.

“If that’s the case, let me call Edward and cancel the appointments today” Alex lifted her in a bridal style as she buried her head on the crook of his shoulders.

*****

After a small romantic time, Clara woke up and found her bed empty. She tied up her hair and wore her silky nightgown to get down to see where Alex went all of a sudden.

“Jaan!” His voice startled her as she turned to see him without a shirt but with a band-aid on his chest. She panicked as she ran towards him.

“What happened?” She asked him with so much concern.

“Love bites” he replied as she gaped at him. She would never do that. That must be a lie.

“Relax. It’s just a surprise.” He spoke as he gently removed the plaster and she gawked at him seeing the tattoo. It’s C with a heart and has Jaan in it. It looks so stylish.

“Whenever I workout in the gym, every girl would wonder who Jaan is. And they might not even think to come near me.” He spoke as she just hugged him with no words spoken. He always captures her heart like anything.

“You need not have to do this” she mumbled as soft kisses were placed over his tattoo.

Flashback ends.

The scene was very fresh as if it happened the previous day. Clara let the tears flow down effortlessly as she closed her eyes to sleep in the same position. She was sure that she had moved on but the happiness was still fresh and she craved reminiscing. The thought made her feel so cheap and she wanted to smash herself for even thinking that. After all, it’s him who has asked her to leave. She has self-respect. She can’t go and beg before him to accept her. She will never go back to him even though he makes everything right.

She has decided one thing as the sleep overtakes her and that is to stay happy and change like before. She is just tired of crying and reminiscing about her past with him. It’s time to move on and be happy for herself and her parents who have done nothing but have lived for her. She should accept the fact that their journey was fated like this only. Maybe God wished for this.
