Unrevealed Truth

CHAPTER - 13

Anya’s P.O.V.

"Well, I think you two are already meet each other", as soon as I heard Mrs. Mayor voice I immediately backed away from Mr. Blake. We were too close to each other and I was very much in comfort with him.

I saw her coming towards with a smile on her face. Mrs. Gabriala Hawkins aka Mrs. Mayor is an influential personality whose aura screams power. She herself is very powerful lady like Mr. Mayor, Mr. Edison Hawkins. She has wore a beautiful back less party gown in Emerald color which was looking flawless like her. She has very beautiful eyes some how has same color of mine but prettier than mine.

“Mrs. Mayor…. Ummm.. it’s really a nice party”, I complemented her for the party as she came near to us.

“Well… thanks sweetheart… you too are looking stunning today. I must say that It’s really surprisingly good to see you here to join in our happiness. I really glad you did”, she praised me while removing a strand of hair from my face tucking behind my ear.

I blushed…. Again….

Then she turned around Mr. Blake.

“Well…. Sylvester… thanks for taking care of Anya in our behalf. I was worried for her as she is not a party animal. But, I am happy that she is with you, it means she is in safe hand”, she thanks Mr. Blake in a genuine voice.

“It’s my pleasure to have Ms. Roberts’s company Mrs. Hawkins. And now…. I am really glad that you trusted me for her safety”, he politely thanked Mrs. Mayor.

“Please…. Sylvester… you are always charming like this… I am flattered”, she said while having a small laugh. Both me and Mr. Blake a smile to her.

“Ok… kids….. I think … I should check others guest too….. please feel comfortable and enjoy the party then”, she gestured us and then left us there alone.

I release the breathe which I was holding from not know, how long……

“Anya…. Ummmm….. I want to ask you something….”, Mr. Blake asked me hesitantly.

“Of course Mr. Blake… please ask me what ever you want”, I instantly spoke.

“ummm…. You know…. It’s really awkward some times.. to hear Mr. Blake from you…. I mean… don’t take it in other way…. But… I want to … I want to request you …. That… ummmmm…. Can you call me…. Sylvester… when we are alone?”, he spoke in a very hesitant tone as if he was afraid of some thing.

My heart skipped a beat. I was blinking continuously for few seconds. My mouth was slightly open. And why not…. I had a crush on him since I was in high school. And… and…. He is asking me to take his name……… Oh My God….. just kill me…. If I die right now…. I die happily….

“It’s ok….. it’s ok…. If you don’t feel comfortable with this… I really don’t mind… just forget it….we are good …. Right?”, he again asked me in a worried tone taking my hands in his hands.

As soon as he touched me, my body shivered and I came out of my trance at that very instant.

Oh My God…. He thought…. I am angry on him for making a small request… no .no. no.. this is not good… 

  “No… No… Mr. Blake… it’s not like that…. I really feel good that you believe in me this much. And I am really glad that you offered me this opportunity to call you by your name. ….. I … uhhh… I really… I really glad”, I instantly replied intertwining my fingers into his as he was already holding my hand and unconsciously I took one step forward towards him to get close.

“Then what’s the problem Anya”, he asked me in a husky voice pulling me towards him.

We were looking in each other’s eye without blinking… for some moment I forgot that I was in a public gathering where so many eyes were witnessing our closeness.

Unconsciously, without breaking the eye contact I called him by his name “Sylvester, I think everyone is looking at us”.

Suddenly we both realized our situation there and instantly backed away from each other. I gazed away on other side to avoid looking at him… My heart was doing summer sault in my chest and it was hurting my ribs constantly.

Then I realized that I called him by his name and instantly jerked my head in his direction with so much force that It could sprain my neck. He was too looking at me with amusement in his eyes. I instantly realized what’s that and lowered my eyes and blushed.

Oh My God…. I am so dead…… I scoffed myself in my mind.

He again came close to me and lifted my chin upwards. I had shut my eyes tightly. I was so embarrassed. I must be looking like a tomato now.

“Look at me Anya”, he commanded me in a lower tone.

I slowly opened my eyes and met his gaze. There was a happy kind of emotion in his eyes. His eyes were damn… so f****ng beautiful.

“It’s really good to hear my name from you. Now, you will call me by name in personal. And that’s an order not a request now. Am I clear?”, He asked me again in his husky sexy voice.

I Blinked and nodded my head.

“Good…. Now we need to go back in the party. Be with me tonight”, He intertwined our fingers again and then we moved back to party. It’s really a long night for me.

After almost 3 hrs, I was heading back to my house… of course with Mr. Blake. Mrs. Mayor specially requested him to drop me as it was too late to go alone which he happily agreed. Though he has already told me that he would drop me to my house as he didn’t believe anyone for my safety. It was really weird as well as overwhelmed for me. No one … till today… he shown me so much of care for me….

In the car, while sitting on the passenger seat, I was trying to keep my eyes open. I was too tired to be awake right now. Once again, he buckled me and I scolded myself in my mind. Soon, I started to dozing off. But, as my head jerked off, I instantly alerted and kept my eyes wide open while looking outside the window.

I was a peaceful silence in the car which was very comfortable. Suddenly, I felt his hands on my lap and I instantly looked towards him questioningly. Did I give any bad hint to him? I was scared.

“Ummmm… Anya… I wanted to talk with you on a very important matter. But It looks like that now is not the time to talk…. Please don’t get me wrong… I don’t have any evil intention for you…. But… we are heading towards my house. You are staying at my house tonight.”, He told me where we were heading and I scared to death. My father will beat me till death if I stay outside let alone with Mr. Blake. No No No… I can’t do this.

“No…. no… no…. Sylvester… I can’t stay out in night. You don’t know what will happen with me if I do so… no no no no… please drop me at my house…. “, I was hyperventilating due to fear of getting beating from my father if he come to know about us.

He suddenly stopped the car at the side of the road.

“Hey… hey… Anya… calm down … please…. Nothing will happen to you…. I will not let any thing happen bad with you… please trust me”, He requested me with a lot’s of worry in his voice and gave me a water bottle. He pulled me closer to him and I rested my head on his chest trying to calm me down. He was stroking my hairs gently and sushing me.

It took few minutes to calm me down. I raised my head from his chest and came back to my seat.

“If you are thinking about your father, then don’t worry. I have his permission. He will not say even a single word to you. So don’t worry tonight about anything. Just trust me Ok?”, he said to me and then again started the engine.

What….. my father gave him permission…. What’s happening now….. he was asking me to trust him… Can I trust him???? I was astonished on… what he told me… and was asking the question to my self…

I just shut my eyes and let loose my brain for few moments. After some time, I opened my eyes and looked towards him. He was looking towards the road and was in deep thought. I put my hand on his hand. He instantly looked towards me.

“I trust you Sylvester”, I said to him.
