My One And Only

I tried to get her up but she must have felt weak on her knees and was about to fall down but I held her back, snaking my arms around her abdomen and she hissed in pain.

“Did I hurt you??”

I asked, looking concerned. She shook her head mildly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Val…Valeria kicked me there.”

She said, looking down, embarrassed at herself for not being able to protect herself.

But it drove me with rage towards my aunt, thinking why would she do that?? What did Tinsley even do to her??

“Can I hold here then??”

I implored touching her waist softly. She nodded her head and I held her tightly there as we made out of there without wasting any more time.

Her steps were small and slow so in the midway without confronting her, I picked her up. She gasped in surprise, not expecting that at all.

“Do not worry, I will not let you fall. I have done this before.”

I confirmed to her if she was having any doubts and walked out of the basement.

Thankfully there were no guards in the hallway and neither in the passage out of it.

But I had to bow down as soon as we reached the backyard. Guards were walking around.

She looked at me with eyes asking what were we going to do and how were we going past it.

I sent a message through my phone to Carlos, to start the act, making Tinsley sit on my lap for a while as we hid under the bushes.

“Do not stress. I came planned.”

I said and pecked her lips, waiting for them to get in the action as we both looked at each other.

Then in the darkness of the night with the faint lighting of the lamps, we heard a noise…a commotion.

It was my men in the front. Guards from the back ran there, freeing the space for us to move ahead.

“Come… it’s time.”

I said and picked her up again. She did not protest and got comfortable in my arms as I strode towards the edge of the wall.

It was this part that I had not thought about at all. The walls were high and I could jump off but then Tinsley…

The hell I did not think about it at all. It must have slipped from my mind. What were we going to do now??? Plus it had to be quick too.

“I did not think this through.”

I told her, still in my arms. She did not say anything and remained still in my arms.

“Maybe I could run with you in my arms through the gates??”

I offered and she immediately shook her head in a no.

“What??? You think I cannot run fast??”

I asked mockingly and she shook her head in a no again.

“Even after all this?? Do you doubt my stamina?? You deeply wound me, Tinsley Rutherford!!”

I joked trying to lighten up her frozen mind and I could see a faint curve of her delicious lips.

Only her, Tinsley Rutherford, could smile in the hardest of time. Her innocence was the most pleasant gift I was blessed to have sight of.

“I…I have a plan.”

“Oh, now you do??”

I joked and she squirmed in my arm like a butterfly signalling me to let her off. I obliged, making her stand on her feet, leaning on my body.

“You can help me climb up and then we can jump together.”

She proposed, making me narrow her eyes at her. She was barely standing on her own and recommending to let her jump.

“I had jumped off through the window from the first floor. I m not afraid, Kian.”

She pressed and I knew that she did that. It only proved that how brave and strong she was but I could risk her life on trying to escape.

“I did not break my bones either.”

“You are barely standing.”

I pointed that out to her. She huffed and then again looked at me as if I did not understood what she was actually trying to say.

And then it rang me, she was asking for me to help her climb up. I could not help but smile at her naive plans.

“You sure you will be able to climb up me??”

I questioned and her palms touched my right cheek assuring that she could.

“You are not that tall when you are on your knees.”

She said and I pecked her cute nose, getting down on my knees and hands. It gave me a naughty idea but I kept it to myself.

“I will get you on your knees soon, one day.”

I whispered and she leaned on my back as she got up. I tried to remain still, not wanting to make her fall and make a mess.

“You do not remember but we have done this so many times. ”

She murmured and like a flash, a faint shadow of one boy and girl reflected in the back of my mind.

The boy was on his knees and the girl was getting on top of his back, her giggles in the air. The entire scenario was not clear. It was shadowy, blackish and purple.

“Stay still, Kian!!”

“Sorry!!”

I mouthed as I was lost in there for a second and unknowingly was moving a little.

Tinsley got up and sat upon the edge of the wall. I stood up on my feet and took the help of the brick as I climbed up and joined her there.

“You ok??”

I asked, patting her head. She nodded, looking at me. We both could see the guards and my men gathered in the front gate.

“I will jump now. I will catch you then, ok??”

“Ok!!”

She said, looking down. The ground was not that deep but it was too hurt you if you were not careful.

“I will be fine.”

I said as I could see in her eyes, worrying about me. It only warmed my heart more for her.
