Often Leena gets furious when she remembered the old pain although she moved past it. Because she still doesn't understand why she deserved that suffering.
She buried her face in his chest wrapping her arms around his waist inhaling his scent. It calmed her always.
"Devin...can you wait a little more time... I promise I will tell you everything." She whispered. She had seen a hint of suspicion when she pushed him away. If she was right, he might have an inkling of the sudden change of her demeanor. She wanted to tell him about the past, but those were only painful memories and words couldn't form when she wanted to tell.
"Take your time, sweetheart. Clear what is on your mind. For you, I will wait for no matter." He patted her back to soothe the shivering body. He could feel that she wanted to talk about something desperately, but at the same time, her tongue seems to be tied when she opened her mouth.
"I am afraid." Leena voiced out suddenly releasing herself from the hug.
"Afraid of what?" He asked in unrest Did she not believe my words when I told her that I will wait for her?
"I am afraid you will replace me with someone else in the future and find someone better. I am afraid someone will make you happier better than me. What if you lose interest in me and us?" Her words were barely a whisper. She has never liked someone and never wanted to feel loved until she crossed paths with this man and when it comes to him, 'what if's' always linger on her mind although a part of her tells nothing to be afraid of. She never realized that she would fall for someone this desperately. Never in her dreams did she think that she would find someone who would touch her life profoundly and give a whole new reason to breathe and the reason she is afraid to lose him.
"Leena!" Devin rested his forehead against her. "You are the only one who can make me smile without trying and you are the only one who can affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain how much you meant to me in words but you are the only one I am afraid of losing you. You are my world and I am willing to spend every day for the rest of my life proving this to you. Never have such thought. I am yours, Only you can have all of my heart wholeheartedly."
"Aye Aye, babylicious. You are mine with no refunds." She sulked, her heart skipped a beat when he was looking at her with a love-filled gaze. She wanted to confess those three magical words. Even if she is a girl, she was fine to confess to him first as long as it is Devin but at the same time, she wanted him to remember the confession forever just like the letter. It took her a whole lot of time to prepare a confession letter and she doesn't know how long it would take to prepare for it.
"I am glad that you feel in that way, sweetheart. Let's go, you have to have lunch. Aren't you hungry?" He asked. Although it's weird to be called babylicious, he was getting used to it by now.
"Very hungry." She grabbed the camera to put it in the bag and recalled something she was yearning to ask. "When did you start liking photography? You must be practicing a lot to know every minute detail."
Her question made Devin halt his footsteps. When did I start liking photography? Now that Leena asked, he doesn't even know why likes it. He felt like the photography hobby suddenly popped out into his life. "I_I don't remember exactly."
"What??" Leena's mouth opened in a frozen scream. He doesn't remember why he named his private jet as Raven and now he doesn't even know when he likes photography. Did he have amnesia?
"Perhaps, did you hit your head somewhere?" Leena asked with a loud gasp. Although it's out of the question, she couldn't come up with any other theory other than amnesia with brain accident.
"No. I did not. You watch a lot of dramas." He chuckled at her assumptions. Sometimes even he felt that some missing puzzles are not pieced properly in his life and his heart and brain always a battle. His heart always speaks some bizarre things which his brain doesn't understand. He never had any accident to have amnesia. But still, he went in to confirm if forgetting things has anything to do with his health. When he asked his mom, she told him that it can be due to weariness. "It might be due to exhaustion that I forget things easily."
"Okay," Leena nodded in a daze while her brain was adding the permutations and combination of the possible outcomes. Who forgets such important things? She still remembers all the important events in her life and she could tell every detail even if she was awakened in the middle of her sleep. Why can't he remember? Unexpectedly, she remembered Dumbledore from the Harry Potter movie. When he had too many thoughts crowded into his head, he siphoned excess thoughts into the basin using the wand to forget unwanted memories. Did he do the same thing to keep memories organized? Is he a wizard?
Leena snapped out her thoughts when Devin flicked her forehead.
"Ouch....that hurts, idiot." She snapped.
"Your brain is going beyond bananas again." He retorted rubbing her forehead to unwind the pain.
Leena awkwardly scuffed her forehead for assuming Dumbledore's theory in real life. He would laugh for calling him a witch.
"Let's go. I am hungry." She grabbed his hand pulling him away.
Right after reaching home, Leena got fresh and took the lunch responsibility after coming to an agreement that he should cook dinner for the night. He accepted it readily when he has YouTube to save his skin.
While Leena was happily chatting with Devin preparing the ingredients, her mobile echoed around them disturbing their sweet moments. When she gazed at the contact name, she frowned and glanced in Devin's direction.
"It's Will. He is doubting that I am in a relationship." She explained. Her phone got engaged multiple times when Wilbur called and he has been throwing questions after questions asking if she is talking with a man. Although Leena informed him that it's her friend, he pretended to believe her but One night he called around three in the morning to check if Leena was speaking with someone. Lucky that she was not talking to Devin at such an odd hour. She never knew he would become a doubting Thomas and searching for evidence to catch her red-handed. Can't he be patient for a little more time until I introduce each other?
"Is it? Talk with him. He will have to know it one day." Devin jumped down from the kitchen countertop when he got an idea to make it more suspicious to Wilbur. Devin was certain that Wilbur would be hitting bathroom doors powerless to comprehend what's going on with her sister after this call.
"What took you so long to pick my call?" Leena heard his commanding tone the moment she picked up the call. Taking a deep breath, she went for another story.
"I was taking shower...Ahh...." She gasped a mouth full of air when her waist was squeezed like a shot.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Wilbur asked, panic-filled him to the core when he heard Leena's uneven breathing.
"I_I" Her breath knocked against her lungs when Devin appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around the waist. Not a word, her brain. could process. "I_ I_ a cockroach....."
Leena made another loud gasp when Devin took her soft ear lobe in between his teeth biting and sucking it gently. It was a slow painless nip sending jitters of pleasure. He whispered a threat into her ear. "Tell him that you are with his brother-in-law."
"Leena, are you all right? Did I hear a man's voice?" Wilbur asked in a dreaded voice.
For a moment Leena forgot to speak. Devin was driving her crazy to the point that she forgot everything and let out a whimper. She wanted to end the call but the deviant pervert behind her was holding her phone without allowing it to end while his other hand was poking her waist now and then. She was under his spell completely.
"Are you there? I am coming home."
"I_I...No one...I will call you later...." With all the amount of energy, Leena picked her voice and spoke up. She kicked Devin's leg surprising him suddenly. For a second, he put his guards down when he was in his own pleasure of teasing her. Grabbing the chance, Leena pulled the mobile and ended the call before her brother could hear her lewd sounds.
She threw her mobile in the kitchen and turned around to reprimand him. "Are you teasing me, idiot? It sounds so gross making out when my brother is in the call."
"You are making me crazy for a week, sweetheart. Lucky that I am only teasing you.." He pulled her and instantly she was in his arms.
