Chapter 5 - How Dare He?

Natalia's POV :

"I knew you would come." He laughed softly.

"Was it very important to scare me, huh?" I raised an eyebrow while trying to decrease my heart beat.

"I didn't plan to scare you. It just happened." He grinned.

"Come to the point. What do you wanna talk about?"

He reached his back pocket and pulled out his phone and started taping something. He turned the screen to me. I looked at the screen and saw it was the pictures of Marjan, Reema and mine. My eyes popped out of their socket as I realize it had taken when we were in the club.

"What the hell?!" I widened my eyes.

"Relax, I won't tell anyone." He laughed.

"Oh yeah, I get it. So you're blackmailing now?" I crossed my arms on my chest and scoffed.

"What? Of course not." He knitted his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Then why are you showing this to me? Why did you even capture these photos in the first place?" I raised an eyebrow as my blood boiled in rage.

"Relax, Natalia. I'm here to ask you why you went to that club last night. That's it."

"And why should I answer you?" I frowned and laughed sarcastically.

"Natalia, Natalia, you're very innocent! You shouldn't have gone there! That place was full of bad people!" He said in a serious tone.

"Well, it's none of your business. Did I ask for your opinion?" I fired back. "Why were you there then?"

"You know my father is the police commissioner. He's working on the recent murder case of that journalist. So I am trying to help my dad. I was there to collect some information."

Well, believable reason for an excuse.

"I know you're mad at me, Talia. I know it's ridiculous to you. But I always cared about you and still care about you." He spilled out.

"Then why didn't you listen to me and choose Delilah over me? Whatever had between us was over a long ago. I tried to make you understand me but you're all on Delilah. And now here you are suddenly so concerned about me," I scoffed as I felt my heart cracked.

"You know what, go to hell with your beloved girlfriend," I hissed.

Whatever was going inside me, I wouldn't show him that.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what I did to you. Delilah ruined everything. And when I finally heard everything from Ryan, I really wanted to talk to you about that, but I was nervous. I knew actually I ruined everything and I hurt you. I'm really sorry for everything. It's all my fault. But I care about you," he looked at me, guiltiness was visible in his hazel eyes.

"I don't know, Fardinn. I'm really confused. I don't know what you're planning to do but remember I will never fall for your sweet talking," I said in a hard tone.

It was really weird and confusing. He was standing in front of me, showing me some photos of mine and my friends dancing in a club and then apologizing for some shits that had happened a few months ago. It was confusing but at the same time it was quite ridiculous.

"I understand what I did. I was the real b*st*rd with full of shits in my little brain. I'm so sorry for everything. Just give me a chance. We'll be good friends again." He looked into my eyes like he was searching for something.

"I don't know. I hope you won't leak these photos." I gave him a small tight smile and started walking in the direction where I came from.

"I won't. Don't worry, you can trust me on this. But Natalia, don't go to that club anymore. It's not a good place for an innocent girl like you," he said in a cold suspicious tone.

I didn't say anything, I just gave him a small nod and walked away. let out a deep breath and hoped he wouldn't leak those pictures.

I reached my home at 4:30 pm. After freshening up, I went downstairs. Mom was making dinner in the kitchen and Ellerie was watching 'Doraemon' on TV.

"Mom, let me help you."

"No, honey. I'll do it." Mom mumbled while chopping vegetables.

"Let her help you, Arina. She's going to a useless woman if she keeps tapping on her phone." Granny mocked while knitting the wool.

"Yes. You're right, granny." Ellerie inputted.

This kid!!

I glared at Ellerie and grabbed a knife then started chopping an onion but God, it was a bad decision. My eyes started burning like hell.

Dad came home at 8 pm and then we had dinner together. Mom and I made pasta, fried fish and vegetable salad.

I went upstairs and entered my sky blue colored cute bedroom. I took my laptop and sat on my bed. I scrolled through the social media but horrible murdered news was floating everywhere. People were sharing and posting the news. I messaged Reema and Marjan through the online group which we had made a few years ago only for three of us. I told them everything about Fardinn and they were also as confused as me.

After half an hour of scrolling and messaging through the internet, I shut my laptop and went to the bathroom.

I was brushing my teeth sitting on the counter and thinking about the horrible murder. All of a sudden, a loud shattering sound came from my room.

I jumped off of the counter and stood on the floor. My heart started pounding in my chest. I slowly opened the bathroom door and peeped my head out.

Heavy breeze was blowing outside. It looked like a storm was coming. I slowly walked out of the bathroom, toward my balcony and found out one of my terracotta flower pots was shattered on the floor.

A white naughty cat was standing there. When it saw me coming, it jumped off from my balcony and landed on the big mango tree beside our house. Its huge branches reached my bedside window and balcony. So sometimes naughty cats entered my room through the windows and balcony.

"You little devil! How dare you to harm my babies." I yelled.

"Oh my little baby plant! Don't worry I'll fix you tomorrow morning, I promise."

I kneeled down and took the rose plant, leaning forward I kissed its leaf and placed it beside another plant.

I went back to the bathroom and washed my hands and my mouth. I came back to my room and turned off the lights except my bedside lamps.

I grabbed my silk nightgown from my wardrobe. I started undressing, I unbuttoned my blouse, then tossed it on the chair and unclasped my black lacy bra. As soon as the bra fell on the floor, the cold breezes hit my half naked body and made my n*ppl*s harden.

I smiled shyly as my cheeks became warm. Then I unbuttoned my jeans and threw them on the same chair. Now I was standing only with my black panties on. I slipped into the nightgown and stood in front of the mirror to brush my long hair and braid it.

I closed all the windows and doors of my room because of the stormy weather. I laid down and took a deep breath.

A few moments later my eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep quickly.

A big warm hand cupped my cheek as caressing it with a big thumb. Slowly that hand trailed down on my neck, neck to my left breast and squeezed it harshly.

A different kind of pleasure rushed in my veins, making me gasp. I felt warm breathing falling on my neck like someone was lying beside me. It felt so f*ck*ng good and warm. That warm hand slowly trailed down on my exposed stomach and then slowly went down and down until it touched my―

I jumped up and sat down on the bed. I was sweating badly and my breath was heavy. My heart was hammering inside my ribcage.

A few moments later, I realized my bedside window was open. But I was d*mn sure I closed it before I slept.

A sudden fear hit inside my soul. My heartbeat increased as adrenaline rushing through my veins.

I looked at the clock and it was 3:15 am in the morning. I sighed and got up from my bed. I took a water bottle from the table and drank some water.

Then I laid down again but I couldn't close my eyes.
