The Undefined Love - Chapter 319

“So you are worried for me?” Hunter asked as he glanced at Daiyu turning his head slightly towards her while walking to his wardrobe. “Yes of course. Or why do you think I am like this?” she said confidently. Though it was one of the reasons among the rest, it was true. The first thought that struck her was, what if his girlfriend found them like that, on the bed all over one another. They would have broken up and that would really be great. Her way would have been clear. And another main reason was if her self – control.  She wasn’t sure whether it was because she was at her prime age and never had a relationship that now she was facing some hormonal changes that were making her lose her control. Earlier she felt that if she didn’t stop looking at him she might have grabbed his face to initiate a long sensual kiss that would have satisfied her to the core and had given the worst embarrassment as an aftermath. Daiyu bit her lower lip remembering her thoughts from earlier but again she justified herself saying, ‘Who would be able to ignore the temptation of such an amazing – handsome – s.e.xy man’. No girl could ever resist such feelings. They are bound to come. “Then why haven’t you thought about your boyfriend? What if he had come to know that you have spent an entire night with me on the same bed, and that too lying over me, feeling all my muscles”, Hunter said, still keeping his back to him. It was his first time telling such shameless things to someone that too a woman. But he somehow wanted this to come out. “Huh! Why would I bother someone who doesn’t even exist? You should care about yourself. By the way, did your girlfriend visit often? Or does she live here, in this house along with you?”  she asked curiously shrugging off his question, while scanning outside the room. He turned around to look at her when she was looking outside. The curious expression on her face made him smile. “So you don’t have a boyfriend?”, he asked as he took his steps towards her. She too turned to face him when he felt his voice coming closer. But unlike other girls she didn’t show any reaction to their nearing proximity. “No, I never had one. Not found someone to suit my style”. Her voice was so confident like really she had never met someone that would suit her choice. “So you really like me. You are saying that I am the one suitable as per your style”, he asked again, taking his steps a little more closer to her. This time her breath got hitched. She didn’t expect him to bring that up without giving any prior notice. She looked at him as she gulped down the shock she has got with his sudden question. “Huh?” she asked feigning innocence but failed terribly. Innocence was something that never suited her personality. She has always been a very outward character. Never cared what she was saying and to whom she was saying. Never cared whom she was offending so innocence was something she never practiced on herself. “Earlier in the morning you said it yourself. Wasn’t that you?”, he asked again, taking his steps dangerously closer to her, now enough to feel his breath on her face. So he did hear her words and left after that. ‘Why did he leave then? Did he feel that felt bad for me? Or does he have to reach her girlfriend and he didn’t want me to take false hopes? False hopes! Exactly that could be the only reason that is going as per this situation. Because she was very much sure that he had got a woman in his life. She had seen her picture inside his cupboard. And how indifferently he treated her in the morning made her more sure about it. Thinking it made sense to her so she thought to make herself look a little easy going in front of him. Though it would be a little tough for her but she can always try, that way it would be less embarrassing for her. She looked directly in his eyes as she said, shrugging her shoulders backward., “Yeah that’s true. I confessed early in the morning and got rejected. That’s it. No big deal”. “So I am really the type that suits you. But exactly what did you like in me? I don’t think you know anything about me?” he asked standing just in front of her. Now when he asked this question, Daiyu gave some mind to it. That was really the most genuine question to be asked. Exactly what made her like him to the extent that his rejection made her drink to forget the pain? She stared at his face as if she was going to get her answer from it. But even after two minutes, nothing particular came to her mind. He was a good looking man. But she was not a girl that would go just after a man’s look. To take his nature and behavior as an instant, she has never spent her time with him to know anything about that. And that black knight in shining armor concept was something that she hated from the day she got some mind of her own then exactly what made her fall for this guy, whom she had known hardly for two days. “Huh?”, he probed her again. He, himself, wanted to answer his question. Maybe that could help him find out the reason he was feeling that way. He wanted to know why he was getting so attracted to the woman who he hardly knows off his mission. She has become the reason that has brought many changes within him in just two days. “I don’t think that my words hold any value. It won’t bring any change so why bother. You can ask your girlfriend. Sher can give you much better reasons. By the way, thanks for today. I won’t be asking how and when I got here because I know that you won’t be giving me an answer. So now I think I should make a move now. Otherwise your girlfriend might really catch us like this?” She said as she turned a little sideways to make a move. But suddenly she was pulled back to the same place she was standing. When glanced at her wrist, she found that the man had his grip firmly but carefully around her wrist. She lifted her gaze up to match his eyes. “What girlfriend are you talking about? It looks like I am unknown with my own life, because I never remember having one”. He said looking at the woman who has brought up the word girlfriend so many times in one night that he really started feeling that he had someone in his life, “Are you asking me?”, she asked in confusion. “Of course I am asking you. Because I quite not remember having one in my entire life. So please introduce me to her”, he said looking at her face which was so full of confusion and questions. “Huh? There is nothing to lie. There is nothing awkward in having a woman in your life whom you love so much. Why are you making it a secret? Are You thinking that it would make me upset? Don’t worry, I am all good. I am not a type of serious girl who would cry over any guy. So stay chill, just like I am”, she said as she again tried to turn around. But she couldn’t move as his fingers were still around her wrist making her stay put at her place. She turned to look at him again and gazed at their hands, “What?” “I said I don’t have any woman in my life” his words came firmer than before. Daiyu squinted her eyes at him as she tried to look deep into him but in the next moment gave up. His eyes were so deep that she was unable to stare into his eyes for long. There was no hint of lie in his words, then who was the woman in the picture she had seen before? ___ In some grand restaurant, Lifen was sitting on the table with a man across her. She was still in her dress from the morning. Her face held a soft polite smile for the man and the man was also staring deep at her face as if he had met her after a very long time. “Mike! Thanks for coming at such a short notice. I thought I would need your help but the matter is already solved”, she said. “It’s fine. At least I got to meet you that way. Or else there is no way you would come on my invitation. Only work can bring us together”, the man said with a friendly smile but there was a hint of something else in his tone. “My apologies for that. But you have seen how busy I got when I started working. And now…” she was about to say something when a deep voice came from far away. “And now she has a boyfriend to look after too!”
