Her glistening body

"When will you ever understand that even though you hurt me, you are the only medicine that I need to be healed."

He heard her say those lines as had tuned on to the voice system capturing the audio from the pendant's recording unit.

Sitting inside the car, with his hands on the steering wheel, he pondered for a while if what he was thinking in head to do, was the right thing or not.

But he already had enough with living a calculated life all this time.

So he switched off the device and started his car. He was off to meet his girl !!!

She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs but instead, she went inside the bathroom and added more bath salts and bubbles into the water. She kept gawking at the foam and dipped her fingers and stirred the water. Then she went back to the bedroom all mumbling,

"I will not be affected by you. I will take a nice bath and then I will just sleep." and saying that she got undressed and wrapped herself in a robe. Then she played a list of top hip hop songs of that year on her phone in the Spotify app. She left the phone outside that washroom and kept the door ajar so that the music would be audible inside the bathroom.

She didn't want to take the phone inside as she was always scared of getting it wet.

As she entered inside, she slid out of her robe and entered into the bathtub and soaked herself completely in the mild lukewarm water.

The water relieved her like magic, soothing out her sore muscles from all that dancing.

She never felt a bit of pain when she danced with him, but she always woke up with sore muscles the day after. She never knew how and why his presence healed her in every possible way.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up her unfinished novel by Khaled Hosseini and started flipping the pages.

As he reached her window side of the room, he gently tried to lift the glass pane and luckily that girl had left it unlocked.

"When will this girl start to lock her windows?", he mumbled. But little did he know that she always kept the windowpane open since the last one and a half year, hoping against hope that one fine day, he would come inside her room, climbing that window of hers.

As he came in, he heard the music blaring from her phone with a Katy Perry number - Roar. Seeing the lights on in the bathroom he knew that she was inside.

So he tiptoed and unlocked her phone using the same old password as before and queued -?A thousand years by Christina Perri. It was a song of great significance because they had danced for the first time to the tune of this song.

After changing that song, he went and sat on her bed silently, because he knew that it was enough to draw her out.

After the song Roar finished, the track changed to a thousand years suddenly. Akira knew for sure that this song was not a part of the entire playlist and more so, this was the song that always made a pit in her stomach. So feeling all weird, she wrapped her wet and soapy self into a towel and came out of the bathroom and checked the Spotify app.

All the queues songs had been removed and this was the only one remaining to be played.

"The hell", she mumbled and started searching for more tracks.

If there was any word for killing with just her looks, then he would have given it to her at that time. Even though her hair was tied in a bun, it was almost messy and dripping with water. All that soap and water made her skin look all the more shiny and glowy.

He could feel his jaws falling down along with gravity.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Just the sight of her was making his heart race at a speed which was way more than what he could even think of racing.

The towel was hanging low on her chest, with her one hand, barely being able to hold them tight as with the other she was checking her phone.

The water was dripping from her neck, down to her lower neck and then further down in between the peaks of her chest. His eyes were trailing every inch of her skin like those drops of water.

Completely oblivious of the fact that he was inside the room, once she was done changing the tracks, she placed the phone on the mat and turned to enter the washroom. But the moment she turned, he lost all his patience.

Her back was there in front of him. All bare, with nothing but the drops of water glistening and dripping all over.

Gasping and gulping his own spit, Raymond said,

"Akira !!!"
