Diamond Ash ( Completed )

Team..

The sheet brought us even closer... Now our faces just an inch apart and our eyes locked together.

Shivers went through my body like electric currents through a metal.. But i hardly think it was due to the wind

It was because of him... His closeness

My heart was beating like a hammer on a desk but i was unable to withdraw my gaze..

But neither was he

I somehow wanted to get more closer... More absorbed by him...i wanted to kiss him...

No.. No way liv... You cant... Dont think of it livv!!!... He is your kidnapper not anything else...

But...

"Uuhhumm.. There is only one sheet left... I dont want you catching a cold and thennn, troubling others by your sickness" he said while finally untangling his eyes from mine and trying to avoid eye contact.

He tried his best to bring back the ice in his eyes and voice but somehow he was failing... His eyes were betraying his words.... His hands not knowing where to settle... On him or on me... They were waiting for something...a sign....maybe from me...

No matter what explaination he gave, i knew it...that deep inside... he was beginning to care... And he himself was afraid to accept it.

"Thank u..For not letting me get soaked up.. Whatever the reason!!" I mumbled... It was the only sober thing that i figured was worth doing.. Other ideas that were coming to mind were highly inappropriate

He did not even bother to reply.. Maybe he was still busy in deciding the best place to put his hands...

The freezing wind did not bother me anymore.. Maybe because of the warmth of the sheet or maybe because the heat radiating from his body... Probably the blazing fire of desperation inside me , desperation to melt in him... was also keeping me warm enough.

At first i thought that his body would be as freezing as his gaze but the way the slight touches by this shoulders sent sparks rushing in my veins... I knew i was very wrong..

I want to get closer to him... Moree closerr

No livv!! Dont you dare!!!

But my body betrayed me and moved towards him... Our bodies constantly touching now...

He looked shocked by my movement

Told you traitor limbs ... Its a bad idea...

"Ahhhh...Sor. rr. Y... I m still feeling freezed" despite the fact that my soul and mind were currently ablazed with a threatning urge...i lied...it was the most sensible thing to do..

He hesitated for a moment but then his one hand finally found a place around my shoulders to settle.

He pulled me into himself and rested his second hand on my thigh.

"Better?? "

"Much better"

Being in his embrace was so soothing that i forgot everything else around me... I lowered my head in his shoulders and closed my eyes..

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The first glittering rays of the sun from the window shone on my face , bringing me back to consciousness.

I was too lazy to open my eyes.. yet i was smiling foolishly thinking about the weird dream i had last night about stefan...so close to me.. Holding me in his arms..

Then i finally started opening my eyes irritated by my stiff pillow...

Wait.. I did not have a pillow

I quickly opened my eyes...found stefan beside me...i was sleeping on his shoulder... Not a pillowww..

It was not a dream

I did not know how long i had been asleep... but by the time i woke up.. Stefan was asleep too.. His hand still around my shoulders and head which was previously on my head was now on my shoulders..

And we were still tied

That meant i had to remain here.. In his embrace untill he wakes

Or you could wake him

And then he would return to being the cold and harsh Mr. Tough looks. !!!

So..No... I will wait.. Wait untill he wakes up..

And then he woke up...

He looked just like a baby when he woke up... Rubbing his eyes and observing his surroundings to find his mom

But then as soon as he realized my presence Mr. Tough looks was back!!!!in place of baby stefan and the comforting hand around my shoulders gone!!

He hurriedly got up the bed to move away from me... Completely forgetting that we were ummm shackled together and made me trip off the bed...

Damn!!he was strong

He turned around.. Opened the shackles and tied me to the sole of the bed and went away...

That arrogant son of a bachelor!! Could not even muster an apology!!! After bumping my head to the ground... Even after what happened last night..

Maybe he really was interested in protecting me from the cold just because so that i would not bother him... Or maybe not.. I was not given the time to decide.. Salaazar and farkle  thrusted open the door with breakfast platter in hand..

Uptill now i did not even realize they were gone as i was so lost in watching stefan sleep..

We all had breakfast together....bacon and eggs.... Far better than what i expected to find here...I guess we all were getting to know each other..

You should not brag about having cordial relations with your kidnappers

They did not felt like my kidnappers anymore.. The looked like my teamm

Except team members dont tie you up
