50.2- Fortuitous
My mood ruptured and I released the rose in my hand, making it fall on the ground and called her dominantly, 'Eileen."
She stopped and turned to me, looking up with a smirk, 'Well, well, how was the hour-long session?" She teased, leaning against the wall, glancing at Asad who chuckled at her reaction, burning me in envy further.
'Come with me." I said coldly, not bothering to glance at Asad and turned to leave but Eileen came, stopping me, 'Wait, you dropped your rose." She called, coming and picking it up.
'It's not mine." I muttered, rolling my eyes off.
'It's his. He was holding it when he came." Asad added from behind, smirking to push my buttons.
'I didn't ask for your concern." I growled, making a sour face, discontented with his presence here and went to my room quickly. Seeing him only burns me.
It made me feel like he would steal everything I cherish from me.
I hate him. I hate Asad with every inch of my core.
'Sebastian?" Eileen called, coming after me, still holding the rose. She was perplexed at my reaction as we went to our room and the moment we entered, I grabbed her arm roughly.
'I told you to stay away from Asad, didn't I?" I hissed, fuming with rage, displeased to find her shadow anywhere near him.
'When did you say it? I was just talking, what's wrong with that?" She asked, bewildered at my sudden fury, pulling her arm away.
'I don't want him near you, Eileen." I breathed out, leaving her arms, holding my forehead, unbuttoning my waistcoat and sat on the bed.
'Is everything okay, Sebastian? Did you two have a fight or something?" She asked softly, coming closer and was about to touch my shoulder but I stopped her.
'It's nothing. Leave it. I am just telling you now, keep Asad out of our matters." I whispered, pushing my hairs behind, making them slightly messy, vexed to find him at my place.
'Okay… I was not fond of him anyways. We were talking about you..." She trailed off, shrugging her shoulders and I had no intentions of hearing what they talked about. It would definitely be something negative.
I closed my eyes, head hanging low, mood smeared at this point. I was no longer in the mood to do anything, I just wanted to lay down and rest. With a scowl over my face, I felt a stem on my ear.
Opening my eyes, I saw Eileen had tugged the rose behind my ear. I made a weird expression and she took a picture of it. My frown deepened.
'Delete it, Eileen." I hissed, taking the rose and throwing it away.
'This picture is not going anywhere and stop taking your fury on that poor rose." She giggled, picking the rose again, pissing me off now and tugged it behind her ear now.
'It looks great on me, don't you think?" She asked, checking herself out in the mirror but then glanced at my reflection with a smirk, 'But, less than you."
She was testing my patience by her demeanor, I hated being teased and she was leading me to the edge by these actions. I was not enlivened at all.
Scoffing, I got up and was about to rush to the bathroom but she held my wrist which made my heart skip a beat, my steps froze, a sudden shiver went down my spine when I felt her skin.
'Okay, okay, at least tell me when is your flight?" She asked, chuckling and hearing this melodious sound, doing what I detest felt worthy.
If it made her laugh with a cruel being like me then being teased was worth it.
'Tonight." I replied rudely, still not looking at her, being stubborn. Why am I so stone-cold?
'And when will you be back?" She asked, leaving my wrist and I began to miss the warmth of her hand in mine. I wanted her to hold my hands.
'I don't know yet." I sighed, glancing from my shoulder, staring at her beautiful features enhanced by the rose behind her ear, getting lost in her arrest. How perfectly it suited her as if all the bewitchment of this world was made for her. She deserved all the charms of enticements.
'Can I tag along?" She asked but I couldn't hear it, nothing else was existing before her irresistible presence, it chained my heart and words escaped my lips on their own.
'You're so exquisite, you know?" I whispered, bringing my fingers to the side of her face, caressing it tenderly, tugging her hair behind her ear, setting the rose properly.
'Don't forget to call me unlike before." Eileen whispered, setting my shirt and waistcoat, looking down, smile fading.
Only if I could tell her how hard it was for me to call her.
'I called before too." I whispered, that was another matter, words refused to escape my lips.
'So it was not accidental? Why didn't you say anything then?" She asked, disappointment laced in her tone. My fingers shifted, cupping her cheeks to make her stare back into my eyes, sinking in her.
'I never knew speaking two small words could be this hard until then." I whispered sincerely, telling her why words couldn't escape my lips.
'Which words?" She asked, boring back into my orbs with all her passion to tranquilize my heart.
'Come back." I couldn't tell her those two small words.
She blushed when I told her, eyes widened, mouth gaped.
She clearly didn't expect this from me- neither did I but I have realized it now- you have no control over emotions. They overflow.
'It's okay, I will call now." She whispered, averting her gaze shyly, pulling away abruptly. She was trying to control her feeble smile but it was clear on her lips.
'I will wait." I whispered honestly, curling my lips in an invisible as well which she noticed. I don't know why but those barely minimum but sweet moments of ours were tempting me.
We stared at each other's eyes for a prolonged period until she broke it awkwardly, realizing we both went into a state of faze of our own thoughts and coming out of it, we pulled away.
Clearing my throat, I went to the bathroom quickly, locking it, I leaned against the wall, releasing my stopped breath, pressing my palm on my heart to feel the rapid heartbeats asking just one question-
When did this all happen?
