"There are some chocolate pastries present in our fridge. You can eat them , "
He turned around hearing her low and calm voice. His body filled with a strange kind of emotion by watching her care for him in her beautiful eyes.
"And there are some cookies and fruits also present in the kitchen. You can also eat them. Let's go, " She stated and tried to drag him with her but he didn't move from his place.
And Seraphina wasn't capable of forcing his huge body to move. She also stopped and turned around to look at him. She gave him a confused look who was just gazing at her and finally closed that rational distance between them.
Butterflies started dancing inside her tummy when he again came closer to her and stared into her eyes for a while. This time his gaze was gentle but still intimidating. He bowed his head to match her face level
"Why are you being so sweet and caring towards a stranger, Sera? " He whispered , fanning his warm breath on her face.
Seraphina took a couple of seconds to process his question and when she understood it, she shrugged her head.
"You're not a stranger , " She answered honestly and he just heard her.
"You're Nate's head boss. You pay money to Nate for his hard work and we use that money to pay for our livelihoods. So you are automatically a part of mine and Nate's life. "
He became speechless at her answer. How could she even think about something so deep like that? Her mind was ethereal and innocuous just as her soul.
"And besides you helped me yesterday from those b.. bad people who were... '' Seraphina was even terrified to speak those words and her fear gleamed up in her eyes which didn't go unnoticed by him.
He placed his palm over her cheek and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Till the day I am alive, I won't let anyone or anything to hurt you, Sera, " Those words escaped from his mouth on their own which sealed their fates in one frame.
Seraphina was too fascinated by his words that he was doing so much for her. He was only rude but a very good human, she thought . He just looked like that handsome evil prince but he wasn't evil like him.
Yes, he wasn't evil because he was deviously sinister. But she didn't know about it at that time.
Seraphina smiled warmly and spoke.
"Thank you, sir. "
The way she called him sir provoked so many feelings inside him and most of them were not so innocent and if they were something, they were everything but innocent.
They both were gazing into each other's eyes when his phone beeped, breaking their trance. He took out his phone and saw Nathan's message.
"Your brother has to take the long route for his home because the shortcuts are still not safe. He tried your home's landline but you didn't pick it up so now he's getting worried, " He informed her in one breath.
Seraphina's eyes widened. She was drowned so much in her crying that didn't even hear the bell ringing. She turned around to storm out of the room but he cupped her wrist and pulled her back to her place.
She gave him a cute tiny pout and spoke.
"I need to call Nate. He's worried, "
"I have already messaged him that you're safe and I am present here with you in your home . Your brother will be here in half an hour , " He said, making her sigh.
"Thank you , " She spoke and he nodded.
Seraphina gave him a tiny cute smile but then her smile dropped all of a sudden which made him confused.
"Sir, please don't tell Nate about what had happened yesterday outside my school, " Seraphina requested him because she knew he hadn't told about it to her brother yet because if he would have done it then Nathan would have asked her about it and would have been terribly worried more.
He gazed into her pleading eyes and spoke
"And why would I lie to him? "
"You don't have to lie, just hide the truth from him because Nate will become more worried and I know he will even start considering himself responsible for it which I don't want, so please please. Don't tell about it to Nate please, sir, " She stated but he didn't reply and continued with his straight face.
Seraphina caged his hand in both of her palms and gave him her puppy eyes .
"Pleeeeeeeeeeease, "
He grinned by watching her adorable way of persuading him.
"Fine. I won't tell anything to your brother, "
Seraphina was about to dance in happiness but those grey eyes had some other intentions for her.
"But what will I get by hiding it from him? "
She got stunned at his question and by seeing that evil smirk playing on his lips.
He smirked at her reaction and travelled his arm towards her waist and held it. Seraphina was so busy staring at him that she didn't even protest.
"Because I am a businessman and I do nothing for free, Sera, " He whispered ,staring into her oceanic eyes.
"Wh.. What do you want, sir? " She asked, gulping because she had no idea what his demand was going to be.
His smirk turned more devious at her question, until.
"I.. I won't give my T.. Tinnie to you, " She stuttered with her trembling voice, making him startled at her words.
He heaved in disbelief. How could she be so naive? What exactly would he do with that good for nothing teddy bear when his mind had planned to do no so innocent things to its innocent owner.
He took his face a little bit closer to her and gazed into her afraid eyes.
"I have no interest in taking your Tinnie because lately my interest has been captured by its blue-eyed owner, " He huskily muttered, which turned Seraphina into ice at her place.
Their gazes bored intensely deeper into each other, when those words slipped from his mouth.
"I WANT YOU, "
