Chapter-12

Natasha's POV

"I want you so bad Cara Mia. So fucking bad,that I can't even control myself anymore. I want to show you that you are mine. Every inch of you is mine Natasha."

*****************
After what seemed like ages my brain cleared up and sensing the mistake I was going to make, I pushed him away.

"I am sorry!", I whispered softly taking a step back. "But we can't do this."

Sebastian didn't utter a single word. He stared at me as if he was looking into my soul. I couldn't help but feel conscious under his scrutinising gaze. A few minutes later he sighed and ran his hands through his already messed up hair. And I couldn't help but blush at the reason why they were messed up.

"Sebastian I didn't. I-"

He cut me off by putting his finger in my lips. "Its alright Cara Mia. You don't have to answer or explain anything to me. I'll wait till you are comfortable with me", Sebastian replied with a soft smile in his face. I stood there shocked. This was this first time he was being so gentle.

Although we barely know each other, I couldn't help but feel protected in his arms. I smiled back and nodded at him and enjoyed the feeling of his arms around me.

******************
"WHO WAS THAT HOT HUNK OUTSIDE OUR HOME? WHAT'S HIS NAME AND AGE AND OCCUPATION? WHAT WAS HE DOING WITH YOU AT SUCH AN UNGODLY HOUR? NATASHA OLIVIA USBOURNE! YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS EXPLAINING TO DO!!!!!!", Megan literally screamed at my face as soon as I entered the penthouse. I am damn sure I just turned deaf.

 My dear lord please save me from these monsters. Please have mercy on me.

"Will you start speaking or do you want me to kick you?" This time it was Kimberly who tapped her foot showing her impatience. I sighed in defeat.

"Can you guys give me just five minutes to change? I swear after that I'll explain everything." I pleaded making my best puppy face.

Meg cringed. As usual. "Yea yea whatever. Go and change. You stink. And if you are not here in five minutes. I WILL KILL YOU!!" She pushed me away.

I swear she is bipolar. One minute is she sweet and the next she is literally plotting a murder plan. I sighed again and rubbed my forehead in exasperation. When Sebastian offered to drop me off I forgot about the fact that I have not one but two annoying best friends who'll happily chop my head off if I don't tell them something. And when its about boys, they are not even ready to listen to any excuse or reasonable explanation for that matter. 

Dammit! I don't even have a valid excuse this time. I cried internally as I made my way towards my ultimate death.

************************

"Dude! That dude is really awesome. Finally you made a great choice Nat", Kimberly clapped her hands happily as soon as I finished my whole story.

"Here drink some water!" Megan offered. I smiled gratefully and gulped down the water in one go. "So-", Meg drawled. "This Sebastian dude. He is Aiden's cousin? Like our Aiden's cousin? Man that's messed up. I can already imagine a love triangle. 'Cousins after one lady who stole their stone cold hearts'. Nat whom will you choose huh!" She wiggled her eyebrows at me.

I gave her my best glare and she burst out laughing. Talk about being over-dramatic. I seriously don't know how we became friends. They are really idiotic. 

"Shut up already", I grumbled.

"Aww its okay sweetheart. We get that you really like him. After all, its him you've been thinking of for the last couple of months". Kimberly grinned.
