THE CEO AND ME!

It was early in the morning when Tinsley felt her lips dry so she woke up from her deep slumber, partially awake but she could feel as if someone was touching her hairs.

It was still dark and she could not see the face of the person who was doing it as she was sleeping, curled to the other side.

Her heart started thumping against her chest speedily, not knowing who the stranger might be...her worst thought let her to thinking what if it was Josh??

What if he was here and it was him behind her???

She did not move at all, remained static in her position, did not giving any instance to the unknown man that she was awake and in alert mode.

A numerous amount of thoughts were blasting her mind second by second...planning of how to deal with her intruder.

Her eyes fell upon the flower vase nearby on the bedside table and thought of smashing it on the intruder but then if she made any movement to get there, her intruder would come to know she was awake.

But other than that there were no more good plans she could think of putting into action.

With each time passing, she pretended to move in her sleep, not giving any way of signal to her intruder that she was awake.

And once her right hand dangled out of the bed, she waited for a while trying to calm herself down.

She knew that picking up the vase and simultaneously turning over and smashing it on his head would have to be very very quickly or else she would be caught forever and there would not be any escape.

She waited for a few minutes or so and when she was sure that it was time and she could do it...she breathed in a huge chunk of air, getting ready to jump on a mission.

She still could feel the fingers running over her hairs, the same way it was before so he was not alerted yet.

With the lightning flash speed, Tinsley swung herself up, got hold of the flower vase and smashed it on his head, not even waiting to look at his face.

"What the hell???"

He shouted and Tinsley screamed, jumping out of the bed, as the broken glasses of the vase spluttered on the bed.

"Stay the fuck away from me... Help.. help!!!"

Tinsley yelled the last part when she saw him standing up from the bed, one hand massaging his forehead and coming towards her.

"Don't move closer...don't you dare...I will...I will jump through the win...window..."

Tinsley stuttered, walking backwards as he moved his steps forward. His face is yet not visible to her. It was dark inside, the curtains were covering the glass walls.

"Goddamnit...It's me...Tinsley...stop..."

"No...I will not...stay away from me...I will jump...jump off..."

Tinsley cried out, still moving backwards, a few steps away from hitting her back on the walls made of glass, covered by the white curtains.

"Fuck....for fuck sake...stop you scaredy cat...I won't move...fine....fine...see I m not moving..."

Tinsley did not stop until she saw him stop on his track. Her chest was heaving up and down, afraid...too much afraid.

She was not in the present state anymore. Her mind had taken her back to that villa where she was kept captive by Josh.

"Tinsley....relax...calm down. It's me... it's me, Kian....baby breathe..."

Kian tried to move closer but that only made her step backwards again so he stopped abruptly.

"Ok...fine...I won't come near...Tinsley wake up...I m Kian...just calm down...I m Kian..."

On recognising that voice from her daze state of mind, Tinsley looked up at the stranger.

"You...you're Kian??"

"Yes...yes... it's me Kian. Breathe baby."

She was yet not sure whether or not to believe it. His face was not visible to her but then the voice....she recognised that voice...it was Kian's.

Kian got the hint of her state, she was terrified at the moment and had gone to the dark zone again so he instead moved backwards, himself, giving her the sense of safety and meantime getting closer to switch on the lights.

When she saw that he was stepping backwards, that made her put her guards down a little bit and when the light was on, she looked around in shock only to see Kian...standing by the threshold of the room...his head bleeding.

"Oh my God...Kian...what the..."

Once she saw him, she rushed towards his side in a heartbeat and held him in her arms...Kian hugged her back.

"What did I do to you??"

She cried, looking at his state. A bit of blood flowing out of the glass cut on the right side of his forehead.

"It's fine... it's nothing, just a simple cut..."

"It's not... it's my fault..."

Tinsley could not stop the tears coming out of her eyes, repeatedly without a full stop and at that moment, the sight before him broke Kian's heart.

He was sure of the fact now that he could never look at her in such a horrifying state, scared and so much afraid.

"It's not your fault. I should not have sneaked out at you like that...Tinsley, I m fine..."

She shook her head when he tried to console her, rubbing her back as she could not stop sobbing her heart out.

"Come to bed...let me do the dressing before it gets infected."

She said, holding his hand and letting him sit on the bed. She moved out to get the first aid kit while he waited for her.

On returning, she opened the box and took out the wipes and band-aids to aid him. He kept silent watching her every move.

She sure was one hell of a beautiful woman and it was very obvious he was mesmerized by her. His aunt was right and holding back from it...it was too late now.
