My One And Only

Tinsley rubbed off the blood from his wound very carefully, her eyes watering every second of it throughout the entire thing.

Once the wound was clean, she applied an ointment before putting a band of air on it. The cut was not too deep, so it would heal sooner.

She moved out to keep the box in its place but then Kian held her back, snaking his arms around her small waist.

“I m fine. I promise. ”

He could not help but say that for he could see how much guilt and pain she was feeling from it.

He needed to make her know that it was not her fault and that he was actually really fine, by looking deep into her eyes.

“I m sorry.”

Tinsley whispered, bending her head forward so that both their foreheads were touching then.

“You are fine.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Kian smiled at her, extending one of his hands up to rub her tears away, making her lean more to his touch, closing her eyes.

He pulled her closer making her sit on his lap. She obliged, dropping the box on the bed, circling her hands around his beck.

Both of them did not say a word and continued to stay in that position, holding each other in silence as the sun rose up from the horizon lightning the room through the drapes of the curtains.

It was in nine in the morning and the maid was serving the English breakfast in Tinsley’s room.

When the door of the bathroom clicked opened, Kian turned back to see Tinsley come out, dressed in a fresh set of clothes after she much needed refreshing bath.

He could not part his eyes away from her. She looked so beautiful in that knee-length off-shoulder dress.

It was for the first time ever since the party, he was seeing her dressed properly apart from his shorts and shirts.

Tinsley did not know if she did the right thing choosing to dress up in the very morning. But she wanted to try something new so she went on with it.

Looking at Kian how he was watching her from head to toe, she did not know if it was a good sign or a bad sign.

Not knowing how to break the silence, she said the first thing that came to her mind.

“I see English breakfast.”

That made Kian to jump back into the present and then he signalled the maid to walk out.

“Come… let’s eat.”

He said, gesturing for her to walk forward. She nodded her head and stepped closer. He pulled the chair out for her and once she was seated, he moved to the other side to take his own seat.

“How is… your head??”

“It’s never been better before.”

Kian smiled and she returned that smile to him genuinely. Without saying much, they both started to move their knife and fork to eat the food served in their place, stealing mini glances of each other.

Kian could not stop his eyes from heating on the sight before him. As she ate, her chest heaved up and down. The off-shoulder dress gave a clear view of the cleavage.

It was at that time, he got reminded of his aunt’s saying how she would dress up to try and seduce him.

Was she really doing that at the moment??

Was she really faking innocence to gain his sympathy and protection??

He could not help but be raised to those questions without a possible answer.

Throughout the breakfast, her gaze was down on her plate of food while his eyes remained pasted to hers.

And out of nowhere, he finally decided to let out his thought for her to hear and get answers.

“Are you trying to seduce me?”

He asked, loud enough for her to hear, making her stop eating altogether, dropping her fork on the plate, raising her head to look up at him.

“M I what?”

“Are you wearing that dress to seduce me??”

Kian repeated his question once again, moving his eyebrows up.

Somehow that question made Tinsley rile up with anger. How dare he think she was that low to do such kind of thing??

All her life, she was looked down on, treated mockingly… Josh spent his time around calling her a slut and never did once, she tried to fight back as she should have done from way before.

But hearing the person… the man she trusted so much more than anyone even after long year’s of separation, doubting upon her made her skin boil in lava.

She decided against giving him any answers at all and stood up abruptly to walk away but Kian held her back.

She tried to struggle out of his grasp, he only tightened his hold.

“Let me go.”

She spat, narrowing her eyes at him.

“Not before you answer my damn question.”

Kian retorted back harshly getting agitated by her behaviour of trying to disobey him. It only made him give in to a little bit more belief in what his aunt told him a few days before.

“And what if I do not want to tell you anything at all.”

Tinsley spoke out, burning her eyes on him. She was furious at him for trying to act all good and innocent when he was not treating her better than anyone else, in reality, keeping her as the mistress in the secret.

“Grown quite a mouth of your own? Don’t you think?”

Kian mocked, standing up from his seat, still holding her in place, not letting go of her yet.

“Why do you even care when you have your woman to go back to?”

Tinsley yelled, trying to push him off of her. That only made Kian look at her strangely.

What the hell was she talking about??

He thought internally.

“What did you just say??”

“What??? Blown out because I know the truth?? ”

Tinsley’s eyes spurted hot waters out of them as she spoke out, with so much pain and agony that even Kian could feel it, looking right into her red eyes.

“That all this while when I thought you were the right one but you turned out just like all of them… keeping me as the mistress hidden from the outside world.”
