Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (ebook offline txt) 📗

clearly. And it was him indeed. He was standing with his back against me while the others were lying on the ground and begging for his mercy. No, actually they couldn't even beg because they were so drunk. I wondered what could have happened this time. And the most important thing... Who is he? Just when I was about to take another step ahead to get a better look at his face, my phone rang out of the blue. So, I hurried to pick it up quickly before I got into others attention, and yes, I succeeded. They didn't even bother to look around to find another presence in the dark other than themselves. “Hello” I whispered on the phone. “Where the hell are you?” Kaith from the other end of the call shouted at me with his full volume. “Don't shout or I'll go deaf.” I yelled back but in a low voice. “Umm,.. I am out and will be back home soon.” But I think my words failed to assure Kaith enough as he kept on yelling. “Out? Did you even come back for once today? Tell me where are you. I am coming to get you.”No no. Don't. I am fine. I am telling you I will be back soon. Don't worry. And I gotta go now. Bye.” With that, I quickly hung up the call. But during the whole time, when I was busy conversing with Kaith over the phone, I didn't realize that the commotion before me which was going on a minute ago, had already ended. And my mysterious strange guy was already out of my sight, but the other men were still lying on the exact place they were before. Ughhhh... I felt quite frustrated. I missed my chance to see his face this time too. Anyway, this was not the reason I came here for. Yes, Jenny. And I need to wait for her. It felt like an eternity but still time passed and I saw Jenny at last, who was making her way out of the club, with her head low and eyes were nowhere else but on the road which would lead her to home. Seeing her after all my efforts, I felt a bit relieved and quickly moved only to walk behind her. “I realized that you didn't give me your number.” I announced my presence in no time from behind, which made her jump in ultimate shock. Aahh... I should have guessed, that my sudden appearance would definitely scare her. Anyway, I couldn't change what I just did. “Did I scare you?” Though I knew the answer, still I preferred to ask. “Hell yes.” She confirmed with her wide eyes but still was laughing at her own reaction. “Sorry.” I went to her side so that we could walk back together. “So, what are you doing here at this hour?” Jenny asked, showing that she was not feeling lonely and unsafe anymore, which was the only thing I wanted the whole time. “I was worried about you after thinking about what happened last night, and then I realized I don't have your number. So I had to chase you down.” I gave out a smirk just before Jenny exchanged our numbers with lots and lots of apologies. “So, are you planning to protect me forever from all the bad?” Her words did stir my mind with the reality that, even though I want to, but how can I protect her.., let alone the fact that I would not be allowed to enter into the club. “Let's see, what can I do about that.” I uttered shortly. “Hey, Jenny... Do you remember the guy from last night, who came to our rescue?” I don't know why but I felt that I should ask her about the mysterious strange guy. “Yes. Why?” She turned to look at me with her curious eyes, as we kept walking towards her home. “Umm... Do you know who that was? I mean did you see his face?” With a slightest hope, I enquired. “No, Sam. I don't know him and neither could I see his face last night. Did anything happen? Sam?” Jenny replied and I pretty much expected that too. “No, nothing happened. I was just asking, because when I was waiting for you outside, I saw that guy again tonight. He was beating up a few people outside the entrance. So I thought, he was a regular there at your club.”Do you think he could be dangerous?” Said Jenny with lots of worries. “No, I mean, I don't know.” Just when I said, a bike stopped with a loud screeching noise in front of us, blocking our way ahead.

Episode 9

Kaith's P. O. V “Where the hell you were?” I yelled as soon as I stopped the bike in the middle of the road with a sudden break, resulting in the wheels to skid a bit, while making some piercing noise at the middle of the silent night. And when I saw that the great Sam was walking on a different road which doesn't take her anywhere near to home at all, I frowned even more. Yes, since I had realised that Sam didn't come back home from her work, I was worried like hell. And when I called her to know where she was, you know what she did? She hung up on me....!!! Without even saying where she was!! Why she wasn't home yet? At this late hour? She didn't even have her bike tonight. What if she got into some kind of danger? Even though she is strong, but fighting alone against many would definitely be a tough challenge for her, let alone the fact that it would be a silly act to do as well. Only goddess knows, for how long I was looking for her like a mad man, anywhere and everywhere, right after she chose to cut my call without saying her whereabouts. I
