I wanted to kick Ryan's ass for sticking around with Taylor. When everyone left, I paved angrily towards him. And I started yelling and speaking whatever that came to my mind. "How can you do this? One night you are dating me and next day flirting with a b*tch?", I screamed and catching hold of his shirt pushed him to the wall. He was staring right into my eyes.
Me: I thought you had changed but why am I fooling myself. I should have known you never liked me in the first place. Maybe I am not as attractive as Taylor is.
Ryan's POV
I had to teach dance to the class. I didn't tell her because she was already sleepy today. So I chose Taylor, as she promptly came forward when I asked for a partner to demonstrate. Riley felt jealous of her and instantly reacted. She was angry, I could see a difference in her emotions. I wanted to fight back but I experienced a strange pull towards her.
When she pushed me to the wall, screaming out loud, my attention was stolen by her lips. I remembered the peck on her lips. Damn...it drove me crazy. I just couldn't resist myself. I wanted to kiss her again, passionately.
POV end.
I loosened the grip and stepped aside from him. I was about to leave when he caught my hand and shoved me into the wall. He grabbed my waist pulling me close to him and I felt a strong desire rising in me.
His lips slammed mine, claiming me hungrily. His other hand moved up to the nape of my neck, kissing me more. My finger moved through his gelled hair, holding him to me. " Do you still doubt that I find you unattractive? ", he mumbled between the kisses. I stepped back to catch my breath. My cheeks flushed red. Looking at those soft lips, even I let loose. Cupping his jaws with my hands, I kissed him back, slightly biting his lower lip. " Maybe...I am attractive.. ", I replied parting away from his lips. I still couldn't face him as I was feeling embarrassed at my move. He took his hand and raised my chin up, so I could face him. Sliding his thumb over my cheek, he said," You were good. I enjoyed this naughty side of you." Those words felt so good coming from his mouth. Ryan's cell started buzzing. He picked up the call. It was Ashley.
Ashley: Hey Ryan! Riley ain't picking up her call. So, I figured maybe you would tell her to come meet me in the cafeteria.
Ryan: Sure. The dance practice is over. I will send her to you.
Ashley: Thank you. *call ended*
I need to go to the cafeteria, I have like 8 missed calls from Ash. I started to tie my hair up. "You look more pretty if you leave them open. It will drive any guy crazy", Ryan shouted from behind. " Maybe I don't want any guy to go crazy, I will untie them when I meet you next time", I said and winked at Ryan before leaving the hall.
I had a long chit chat with Ashley.
When I was about to leave, I got a call from a private number. It was from an officer named Alan Peterson. He wanted to talk regarding the cartel case. He asked me to step in the black SUV waiting outside the college. I felt terrified. All of it flashed before me. I realised that Ryan had pulled out the gun and shot that hoodie guy in the head. Many questions started building up in my head.
I saw the car parked outside. When I stepped near the window, two guards showed me their official badges. I was asked to enter inside. I was scared as hell but their badges were real. I was blindfolded and escorted to a place. I was scared as hell. Then after sometime, the car stopped. I was asked to step out and my blindfold was removed. It was huge building with high tech equipment and men dressed in black. I followed the guards and they showed me a room. It looked like a conference room. I saw a man in his 50's with hair dyed black and a strip of white on the side. He introduced himself.
Guy: Hello, my name is Mr. Alan Peterson. I am the head of federal intelligence services.
Me: Yeah, but why did you bring me here?
Alan: You were a prime witness during the drug cartel shootout.
Me: But it is solved. Lawyer said that I had nothing to testify further.
Alan: (showing me the picture) You recognise him?
Me: Its the hoodie guy that kidnapped me.
Alan: His name is Jim Oratni. He was a wanted criminal for drugs, trafficking, smuggling etc
Me: So? He is dead. Its good.
Alan: He was the right hand of Dimitri Zubov, a criminal mastermind. The interpol is trying to catch him since years.
Me: I don't understand what this has got to do with me. Why are you giving me a criminal history reading?
Alan:(banging the table loudly) You were there when Ryan killed that guy, weren't you?
Me: (panicking) Yes.
Alan: Now, don't you as a human find it disturbing that someone you knew pulled up a gun and shot a guy dead?
Me: But he did it to save the officer's life and mine too.
Alan: (coming closer and showing Jim's dead picture) Look at it! Its a straight head shot.
Me: (scared to look at his face) It looks so disgusting.
Alan: (yelling loudly) Don't you have any questions as to how Ryan got hold of a gun? How did he know to use it? How did he track you down in no time?
{It was all going on in my mind, but I refused to tell because I didn't want any trouble for Ryan.}
Me:( hesitating) No.
Alan: Even when 4 guys beat the pulp out of him, he was standing upright. (High pitched voice) How the hell can you not make out a difference?
Me: Enough (scared by that rough tone, my tears broke out)
Alan: Do you even know your guy? Know about his family? His ...
Me:(crying) Let me go, please. I can't take it anymore.
Alan: I apologize for my rude behavior, but its part of my job. It is my duty to know..
Me: Please, I want to go home. I cannot stand this any further.
Alan: OK. I cannot force you. Just get to know about his family, about him. My guards will escort you to your home.
Me: Thank you. And please, don't ever meet me again.
Alan: I can't guarantee that.
And the blindfold procedure followed till I reached my home.
A/N: They kissed..finally! An intense moment... I guess jealousy eases out the feelings!
But wait...who is this new Alan guy and why did Riley got pulled into an interrogation? Seems like the investigating officer duty...but why the blindfold? fishy...
To know what happens next...Stay glued to the journey ahead!
