Chapter 56

Days flew and Saturday kissed our forehead lighting our moods but he is still mad at me. Quinn and I came with an idea to convince him, that's how we were ended up in the theatre to watch a romance movie. The funny thing is during the whole movie time he had held my hand but didn't utter any words, playing the role of an angry lover. The movie was so interesting until the word "Interval" popped up on the screen. I groaned in defeat, "Shitt!! Is he going to propose to her or not?" All the heads in the theatre looked in my direction. Oops! I think I said the word so loudly. Embarrassment!! "One popcorn and a coke," I ordered while they were ordering their snacks. After bringing our snacks, I set mine on the tray followed by Harry and Quinn. When we were about to go inside the theatre, someone from our behind called Quinn's name. His voice was hard and sent some negative vibes to our surroundings. "Quinn Lolita Parker." He called once again using the same hard tone and I looked at Quinn who was freezing on her spot, her skin paled and she looked like she will faint anytime soon. On the other hand, Kevin clenched his jaw and fisted his hand. I looked at Harry but he has a blank expression on his face. Somehow, he walked towards me and wrapped his hand around my waist protectively. "What do you want, Jace?" Kevin charged towards him with a clenched jaw. Quinn dragged his shoulder and pulled him towards her. "Kevin, leave it." She said somehow her voice barely audible as she was not sure about. The guy named Jace smirked and turned his attention towards us. He eyeing me up and down and I felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Harry pulled me on his behind and took a step forward. "Oh, Harry! Here you are!! Pleased to see you!" he said sarcastically and stretched his hand towards him. Without wasting another second Kevin charged towards him and threw a punch on his face. He fell on the floor with a heavy thud but Kevin didn't stop to hit him, neither Quinn didn't take any step to stop him. It's my first time I'm seeing him hitting someone aggressively. "Kevin enough! He is not worth it." Quinn said smirking at Jace who was not able to open his eyes. Throwing one last punch on his stomach, Kevin stood up from there. "If I see you next time, I won't hesitate to kill you. It's better to dig your own grave." Kevin warned him. I feel bad for him but somehow he had something to do with them in their past. "Come on, Let's go!" Harry grabbed my hand and led me into the theatre. All my curiosity about the movie has completely vanished and my mind involuntarily wandered around the incident. Who was the guy? Why did Kevin get angry when he saw him? My concentration was no longer on the movie screen, and also it brings lots of questions. Harry noticed my states and squeezed my hand. Once I looked at him he raised his eyebrows. I shook my head and looked at the screen but the questions didn't leave my mind. After the movie, we went to the restaurant to have dinner. We ordered our food and ate peacefully. The drive to our home was dead silent. I plucked the headset to my ear and laid my head on the window listening A.R Rahman's song. Once we reached, I hopped out of the car and went directly to my room. I tried my best to sleep but no vain. I let out a long defeated sigh and unwrapped the bed sheet from me. I hesitantly stood in front of her door, thinking whether to enter or not and even before I could turn the door nob, the door flew open and Quinn stood there apparently waiting for my arrival. "I know you will come." Quinn told me desire was evident in her voice. "Who was the guy, Quinn?" I asked straightly once I entered her room. I had waited for a long time, hereafter I can't, So I let my question out. "Sheila, both of them were used to hate each other. I'm not sure but he was also suspected of Harry's accident." When the word came out of her mouth, my heart thundered in my chest. "Oh, God! That means he is in danger?" I asked in a panic tone. "No. He is safe now. At least that's what I can say right now. But don't worry Sheila, nothing will happen to him." She assured me. I hummed in response and walked out of her room. I'm not convinced by her words. She is saying this to me just to comfort me but I know a bigger thunder is waiting for us. I opened the door of his room and for my sake, the door was not locked. I entered his room and locked the door behind me. He was sleeping peacefully on his bed. I crawled onto his bed and rested my head on the pillow. Being with him brought peace to my mind. Somehow, sensing my presence near him, he turned around and wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I placed my head on his chest and looked at his sleeping figure. He kissed my forehead and mumbled something in his sleep but I couldn't catch his words exactly what he said. I wrapped my hand around his chest and hugged him tightly not leaving any space between us and I wanted to be like this, forever. I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. I closed my eyes and welcomed the sleep enjoying the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. *
