Sylvester’s P.O.V.
I really liked the Anya’s company in the party. It was my first party where I avoided all the professional or business related chit chats etc. I was really proud when Mrs. Mayor told me that she trusted me with Anya’s safety. I was really happy but the same time scared too. The deal which I had made with her father, I needed to talk her about that deal. That deal included her. It was her life which we had decided without her consent. I know what I did. I had to do this to save her. But, how can I now explain her this condition?
I insisted Anya to let me drop her to her house. But, inside I knew that she has nowhere to go now. I was battling in my mind how to tell her. I looked at her and saw her sleeping. She is really beautiful. I watched her for few moments and then I did that I didn’t have to.
I put my hand on her lap and she woke up with a shudder. She was looking scared. I cursed myself because I knew that she was thinking something bad about herself. It was true that whenever I felt to hold her, to embrace her even kiss her… I did. She never protested… Some how she showed trust on me. I don’t want to break that trust… never I do. But right now, I wanted to tell her.
“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.”, I told her. She was totally scared.
“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…. “, she was totally scared to death. I knew that she was scared from her father but on this extent… I was really mad but this was not the time to show the anger. She was hyperventilating.
I stopped the car at the side of the road and instantly reached to her. I gave her water bottle and pulled her closer to me. She rest her head on my chest and started deep breathing to calm herself down. I started stroking her hairs.
“Hey… hey… Anya… calm down … please…. Nothing will happen to you…. I will not let any thing happen bad with you… please trust me”, I said to her. I was really worried now how will she react when she comes to know about the deal. I wanted her to trust me. I really wanted her to. After few moments, she calmed down and get back to her 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?”, I told her and started the engine.
I was looking at the road now. There was a storm inside my mind what to do or what not.
“I trust you Sylvester”, suddenly I heard her. I couldn’t explain how relieved I was. I …. Sylvester Blake…. The business Tycoon who doesn’t know what the fear is….. was scared. I am not ashamed to admit that I was scared.
“We reached”, I informed her after parking the car in the garage. She was in her deep thoughts. She looked at me blankly. We both get out from my car. She was with me right now but now in right mind. She was just walking with me like she was not in her possession. She came out of her trance when we reached to my pent house.
She was standing outside the living room and looking towards the apartment. I went towards the kitchen and brought a glass of water for her.
“After my parent’s death, I live here in this pent house. This is my small world Anya”, I told her after giving her glass. She gulped the whole content in one go. I gestured her towards the living room. There she sat on the sofa hesitantly. I was really don’t know what to say or what to do. So I asked a really really stupid question.
“Would you like to have coffee Anya. I used to have before going to sleep”, I asked her softly. She looked at me and came towards me.
“Let me make the coffee and you go and freshen up, if you don’t mind”, she asked me hesitantly. I sighed. I wanted her to be comfortable like before. I was really missing her smile now. I hold her from her shoulders and said “Listen Anya, you need not to scared here. You are totally safe here. You said you trust me, right?”. She nodded her head but looking towards the floor.
“Then go by your instinct. I know that you are not of that kind of girl who likes to spread their legs for pleasure or for money. I really admire your self respect. So, please be like that Anya who was with me from last 3 days.”, I pulled her in my embrace. It was really relaxing to have her in my arms.
After 1 or 2 minutes I pushed her back away and said “make yourself comfortable Anya. No one is going to bother you here. I am going to take a shower. Make a cup of black coffee with no sugar for me also. My bedroom is upstairs. When I will come back, I will show your room for tonight.” After that I headed towards upstairs to my room. Suddenly I remembered that she hadn’t eaten much in the party. I stopped at my way. I know how to cook but I wanted her to be comfortable here so I decided something strange.
“Ummm… Anya…. I don’t want to be judgemental…. But …. Can you cook?” I asked her.
“Of course I can cook… if you want to eat… I will make something for you”, she sounded confused.
“Great…. Then please make something…. I am little bit hungry”, he grinned at her and she smiled. She smiled like her and said Ok… go and freshen up now. I smiled back and headed towards my room.
After taking my shower, I just wore my t shirt and capry. I didn’t dried my hairs just toweled them little bit. Then I headed back again to the kitchen. As soon as I opened the door, a good smell of food reached to my nose. It was really mouth watering whatever she was cooking. I reached to the kitchen and stood behind her.
“Wow… they smelled too delicious to resist”, I inhaled sharply. She blinked and then speak anxiously “Uhhhh… would you mind to put these here on the table”, I Smiled in my mind. We were too close. She has my affect on her. I just shrugged my shoulder and said sure. Then I took plates of pasta and put on the dinning table. Then I took out the cutlery from the drawer and placed them on the table. Anya came with plates of sandwiches and then both mugs of coffee. She gave me mine coffee mug. We both sat in front of each other and started eating. I took first spoon of past in mouth and moaned on the taste.
“mmmmm….. It’s really delicious…. I want to kiss your hands now”, I took her hand and placed a small kiss on the back of her hand. She blushed hard.
I said again, “You are really a good cook. Now, I look forward to have these kind of treat often in the future”.
“Thanks for appreciation Mr. Blake. And of course I would love to cook for you again in future”, she said smilingly.
I frowned on hearing Mr. Blake again. “Anya, what’s that now….Again Mr. Blake?”, I said little be irritatingly. She covered her mouth saying …. Ooops? What’s that now. We both looked towards each other and then burst into the laughter. I took the plates towards the sink and said ““I will handle the washing later. Let me show you your room first”.
I took her to one of the guest room and showed the closet where some night suits from one of my cousins. I was looking towards her. She was looking little bit uncomfortable with the clothes.
“Uhhhhh…. Sylvester… please don’t take it otherwise… but can I have a t-shirt or something like that to wear.”, she asked me hesitantly.
“Why… Is there anything wrong with those”, I questioned her back.
“No… nothing is wrong with them. It’s like.. I am not comfortable wearing these anytime. But… it’s ok… it’s just a matter of one night… I will wear any of these.”, she gave me her reason.
“No… don’t wear if you are not comfortable… go… have your shower…. I will go get any of my t – shirt for you. I think that will work as a complete dress for you”, I made a joke while comparing our heights to lightened her mood. She looked towards me making pout. It was really so cute.
“Oh..God…. Anya…. You look too cute when you pout”, I laughed little bit and pulled her cheeks.
“Ouch…. You are making fun of me”, she shoved back my hand and stroked her cheeks.
Ha ha ha ha…. Go have your shower Anya”, I told her while going back towards my room.
