Silly Emotions

Chapter 11

  It was 3 p.m. when Sierra woke up. She nearly jumped from her bed because of her nightmare. Wait? Nightmare? Tha man! What happened?

  As she was thinking about it she went to the kitchen, she couldn't see very good,she felt dizzy. Sierra didn't even notice someone laying on the couch and watching her with worry.

  Sierra thought about what happened yesterday. She was talking to Hadley about Ramin...
It's strange, she could even smell his cologne. She told Hadley about her feelings for Ramin.  God,she remembered, she fainted after that man choked her,but she was at home... She needed to see Ramin! No! The bruise!  Now she could feel it hurt after her touch!

  " He can't see me like this... Apologize,I must apologize...  I should call him", she mumbled to herself,but her legs became weak and as turned around she fell in someone's arms.
 
  " Call whom? " she heard familiar and sweet tenor which she's glad to hear every time,she looked up and saw him. But what was he doing in her apartment?

  " R-...Ramin?" she asked like if she were dreaming.

  " How are feeling? " he asked holding her by the waist and looking concerned, he touched her cheek and she closed her eyes. Her heart was so happy to see him,but her mind told her that it was he,who saved her and  she flinched. Her eyes flew wide open,filled with fear. She seemed weak infront of him,at she thought that.

  " No!" she released from his arms quickly,she looked into his eyes; he knew, he saw,bhe saved her, "No,no,no!" she refused to believe that he saw her that way: frightened,crying! She turned away from him." It was a  nightmare... Y-,you wasn't there," she whispered,but he heard.

  " Oh, I was,Sierra," he said,though he knew she wasn't asking,but trying to convince herself that he hadn't been there. " I saw you crying at the theatre and went after you," he was trying to stay calm he touched her shouldelr.

  " What for?" she flinched. She was panicing. Her voice said that for her.

  " What for? I wanted to know what the hell was happening with my friend!" Ramin raised his voice. " And I found that somebody was following you! You think I could turn away after that?!" he was angry as he recalled that night, " And the worst thing is that you knew that he was following you for a week! Didn't you?!" Sierra didn't say anything. He sighed.

  " You knew it all the time! And didn't tell me! Why?" he turned her around, she had new tears. " And don't you say that you didn't want me to worry about you!"

  " I could have solved it by myself," she answered but it sounded more like question.

  " If I wasn't there, you-," he paused, " I don't even want to think what could happen!" he was absolutely serious. He carefully took her face and looked into her eyes. " I was holding you breathless and pale,Sierra! I thought I had lost you!" his voice stuttered. His forehead touched hers he closed his eyes.

  "Ramin..." Sierra whispered,she knew him as good as he knew her,he was going to leave. " Did I-.. Did I hurt you?" she looked into his now opened eyes,he was still angry,but also tender.  One of his hands was carefully caressing her bruised cheek and another hand moved her curl behind her ear. Sierra closed her eyes and didn't want this moment to end.

  " Yes,Sierra..."/" Please,don't go,"she was sobbing through his words. /" You did," and his hands were gone. She didn't feel them anymore. More tears were falling down her cheeks. She opened her eyes and saw his deep brown,but sad eyes. He turned away and after a moment headed to the door,but Sierra stood right infront of him.

  " Ramin! Please!" she cried with eyes full of tears,her hands on his chest,trying to stop him.

  " You can solve everything by yourself,Sierra," he said quietly. Without looking at her, he took her hands to realeas himself,but she tried,she couldn't let him go.

  " No,Please! Ramin, I-" he was stroger, he released himself. " Stop it,Sierra," he looked at her and kissed her forehead. " Don't leave me,not again..."he was in five steps to the door.

Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...

He opened the door...

"  I love you," she whispered and closed her eyes,letting more tears fall down. Everything stopped,Sierra couldn't hear anything,but his breath. She heard the door. It closed.

  No! She wouldn't let him leave!  Not like this! She opened her eyes and was ready to run after Ramin, but was tightly embraced. His cologne. His arms were strong around her. She was crying into his chest.

  " I-I'm so sorry,Ramin! Sorry for avoiding you all this week! Sorry for not telling you anything!",he was rocking her," If it wasn't for you,I-, I could be-

"Shh...," he held her tight to comfort her with his chin on to of her head.  He closed his eyes for a second as if he didn't want Sierra to finish this phrase

" Please! Don't leave me! I was in panic!" Ramin lift her chin,looking into her emerald eyes, she was looking into hers.

  " I'm not leaving you anymore, Sierra," he whispered caressing her cheek. He was so close to her, wipping her tears.

  " Ramin, I need you beside me..." she said stuttering with her eyes closed and her hands over his as if she was still afraid that he would leave her. " I-.. I love you...Ramin," he smiled.

  " I know," he answered and Sierra opened her eyes to look into his.  She had never seen his eyes as beautiful as then. It seemed they were shining,looking at her. His smile that she loved so much Sierra didn't dare to breath.

  He leaned in and Sierra felt his lips on hers again. The kiss was filled with emotions,but was tender and passionate at the same time. Ramin preesed Sierra closer to himself and her fingers found their way in his hair. The world around them stopped its existance and nothing mattered except for them.
