Falling in Love Was Not the Plan — Chapter 14

She was already so nervous after such a conversation with her room mate. The feelings she experienced in the library were not letting her stay in peace and now this! He was literally banging on the door like some evil spirit has possessed him. "You are driving me madder nor Amara! Just open this fucking door and let me in." Her fingers froze, Amara stood before the door fighting with her dilemma whether to open the door or not.

From just the intensity and terror playing in his voice she understood he was angry. The rest of it was assured by his continuous bangs on the door. She was scared facing him. Amara bit her cheek while her heart ran a race. She had no idea why was he suddenly here and in such bad mood!

"Did I do— something wrong?" Her eyes brows scrunched, there was growing fear in her soft pupils depicting her dread.

Like who had not heard about his aggression! Alex Ragnar was the sweetest guy in the campus nevertheless he was equally crazy on the other side. Just how a particular colour has different shade, so did he have a personality that was too sweet sometime and too harsh sometimes.

"Amara, aren't you opening the door, are you?" He emphasized on the last two words a bit more rashly that a grevious chill slapped her skin.

However, after if seemed like a moment in a coon's age, she hesitantly unlocked the door and— the next second her circumstance changed drastically. "Alex!" she was pushed to the wall across the door while his fingers gripped around her neck.

Alex increased the pressure on her neck giving her no room to breath. "It's all because of you Amara... All because of you!" he hoarsely shouted on her mouth. Standing in his clasp she felt herself as a dead meat who was going to welcome her end real soon.

Tears replaced the fear in her eyes and trickled down from her cheeks. They fell on Alex's wrist wetting it, there was no change in his reaction albeit. "Why did you leave the library so abruptly!!! If I hadn't left to follow you then I hadn't seen what I saw today." He accuses her for something had the least idea about.

Only if Alex knew that his words were seldom hurting her ears since the pain was too much. He has literally cut the supply of her oxygen and from how her eyes widened with streaming tears gushing out of them, she depicted her utmost irony.

She was all red. Her body trembled under his presence. Amara still coughed striving for oxygen.

Amara blinked her eyes several times before she conqueringly shut them close. No sooner did it happen than he let her go and slip on the floor like a dead corpse. He— killed her.*

"Alex!" He blinked his eyelids looking around. She was standing all fit and fine. "What is wrong?" she asked him.

However, he still could not understand what did just happen now. Did not she almost fainted? Did not Alex look away, as it was a close shave. "I... I just choked you."

He locked his eyes with hers, she confusingly stared him shrugging her shoulders and— the worst realization of life dawned over him.

"Shit!" He growled looking away from her face. It was a paranoia!

Alex's point of view...

What the heck was I going to do????

I was going to effuse my anger on her for no reason! She is not even to be accused. That is me who ruined everything not her.

Didn't I know that from the star only that, Perry was cheating on me! In fact, wasn't I doing the same to her. It all started after I cheated on her with her rival under the effect of liquor.... That was how everything started.

It was me only who gave a rise to differences between us but— I was going to accuse Amara for what she hasn't done at all. She does not have anything to do with my relationship.

My legs fell weak such that I ended up hugging her tight. Even though she shivered trying to maintain a safe distance from me I pulled her wrist nears my chest joining our foreheads and hugging her tighter than previous. I don't know what made me do that; all I had in mind was that I needed this badly at the moment.

She seemingly turned surprise when I wrapped my other arm around her waist as if she were my girlfriend. "Please let me hug you Amara, I need this." It automatically came out. I did not even know how and why... Just that the touching her skin and the thumps of heart consoled my betrayed feelings.

"Alex, are you.... Uh, okay?" Ohh that I could tell her it was alas, it wasn't.

Her question made me hug her even tighter. Perhaps my visit was not to hurt her but hold her close and feel her. Few days ago when she had cheerfully side-hugged me... I like the touch of her skin and wanted me. Since then, it was like I was finding ways to touch her and today it was the correct thing to do.

She did not mind hugging me back when I snuggled her neck wrapping my arms tighter around her waist. Her anxious breaths did remind me she was no one to me but the way her hands rubbed my back lightly.... I felt a connection. Taking the advantage of the circumstance I held her by the waist until we were both on her bed with me on top of her.

Although it was wrong, I cannot suppress doing so. "Alex I..."

"Please Amara, let me Stay with you for sometime." Before she could counter my actions verbally, I interrupted her henceforth putting a full stop to her thoughts right then and there.

My vision was occupied with my and Perry's enticing encounters as I lay my head on her stomach inhaling her scent. I had met her a few weeks after we joined the college. She was a late join though and even the most desired girl on the campus.

Every guy wanted to chase her, but she being herself wouldn't give a fuck to anyone. She belonged to a rich and wealthy family and her attitude was way much much higher than any other female on the campus.

But as they say, you get things that you least expect— happened to me. I was the only guy in the college who did not desire getting hitched to Perry. And I was the only guy who she felt impressed with just because I wouldn't give her a damn back for her attitude.

It just took an unanticipated night in the pub for us to know how much similarities we had in taste for each other! I had the qualities she wished her boyfriend while the same went with me. And just as the next day appeared, and we entered the college in my car, it did not take a long time for the entire college to know that we were dating each other.

No matter how irking and disgusting I find it now, or how negatively I look at those things in the present.... I cannot refuse the fact that— Then, they were some of the best moments I spent in my life.

Tbc....
