Chubby Cheeks 28
I could feel his intense gaze on my eyes and I was pressing my stance to make this happen. Because I knew I was playing with secret devices in me, I didn't know if he was searching for anything or trying to irritate me; either way, I silently prayed for him to not know about the devices. In fact, I was sitting with a camera which was a size of the button placed on my red checkered shirt and a recorder which was the size of a pen in my jeans. A gps was placed on to my phone and bracelet. To be honest, I was thinking this was really a big drama. But, this man was capable of a massacre or worse if possible and I didn't want to take any risk, as in the words of inspector Jenkins; so, I didn't argue.
Den changed over time to someone we never knew about. His thoughts and plans were so ruthless that I knew he was playing with me, but somewhere inside of me, the girly shade of my heart believed him and I didn't know why. Somewhere on the other side of my heart, I wanted to bring this man down for so many things. I am not sure what all things, but two things were clear, I wanted him down for pinning Alex to the music case, and for killing Charles.
His gaze never faltered and I knew he was calculating. But, my plan was having more potential than his mind game. Inspector Jenkins was a doll to surround this place with five top secret agents to look after me and kept Alex and Fabio out of this saying it might get dangerous.
Patience was thinning on me and I wanted to yell to his face, but I know better; I shouldn't provoke a fighter bull to my red cape. So, I rubbed my chin and pinched my nose and finally found the audacity to break the silence.
"Why are you not talking? We have been sitting here for fifteen minutes straight; I am hungry."
"You think you can deceive me?"
"Yea, like hell I think I can. What are you talking about?"
"I am talking sense here."
"Look Den, I am not to be trifled with. I mean business when I say I want to teach that b*** a lesson. I want to know if you will help me or not. Alex is your headache, not mine so I can plan myself for her or do something to get my revenge done."
"Ok, what's the plan?"
"Atta boy..."
"Get to the point."
"Oh...business... well, like I said earlier. I will somehow try to get Alex's second hand bike and Stacey's stand side by side where the bikes are halted and you should damage Stacey's bike. Hence, Alex will convince Stacey to take his other bike. As I don't know anything about bikes; I want you to bring some miscalculations on to the other bike to make it look completely accidental. You should be careful there; I don't want you to kill her. So, when the accident takes place... everyone will be over there with Stacey and then you can play around Alex's bike as well which will make it look like his one is also a complete accident."
He looked at me for a while; I wondered if he will compliment me for my idea or not. As it is, he cupped his hands, with his point fingers of both hands supporting his nose and looked at me intensely. He leaned back on his seat leisurely with his legs casually straightened. After a while, I scratched the back of my neck and fidgeted in my seat. I nibbled my finger nails and rubbed my nose. But, it never moved Den and finally, I mustered courage to sit straight, lean in and snap my fingers at him. It must have been fifteen minutes after I said my idea, but his face was plastered onto an emotionless statue, that I had to break him apart.
"Are you ok? Say something."
"You must be really mad or something right?"
"Why?"
"Do you think your plan will actually work?"
"Why not"
"You are insane."
"Well then, it looks like you are the only sane one here. So, do tell me."
"Look, the bike point to different groups are properly named and guarded. I can never even peep in to the other groups sections, and you say I should come 'in' and alter the bikes. You must be insane."
"Look, I have never been inside such a race or tournament. I don't know what the rules are and how it works etc. So, you are the one who has to make it work. I just told you something from the little of my brain."
"Hmm, I have been contemplating the idea. It's not as simple as you say it is, but I can find a way using your idea. Either it has to be done before the bike gets into the bike point or after it has been moved to the war ground zero. It can never be done inside bike point. I highly doubt that."
"Well, it's not like the place where the groupies hang out will always take care of their bikes. You will have time if you disguise anyone to be playing around. Don't tell me, you have no idea how..."
He laughed at that. "I have plenty but I do not trust you to make it happen. Thanks for your idea honey, I got to go. I have a plan in hand and I know what to do. Bye."
"Hey, you can't go like that. Say it to me."
"You may want revenge against Stacey. But you never have any double feelings for that prick of your boyfriend. Ciao senorita, if I can't have you... neither will Alex."
'And that was a fine threat.' I looked at his retreating back. Just as he was going to get into the black jaguar, he turned a smiled at me which looked more like a smug smirk. He had plans and I was really a fool to think I could whip it out from him.
Just as he rode away, I heard the horn coming from a distance making me snap from the jaguar to the opposite side where my ride was parked; I shook my head in dismay. I got up slowly and walked towards the car. There was only one man waiting for me in the driving seat. His eyes were a chilling blue which made me want to swim in it.
"All others left separately. We heard your conversation; it's ok, don't feel like you failed in it."
"Hmm, why did you say that?"
"You face looks obvious. You are about to cry and please don't"
"But, I didn't get anything. I was a fool to believe that Den had feelings for me and I was a fool to give him an idea how to alter the bikes. And I was a fool to believe that, I had a plan to bring him down. I am a stupid."
"Hey... it's ok; you don't know how such people work. Trust me; I know... they are very deceiving. They do anything to gain the trust of the weak and play around them to work against whatever they have in mind; so, that the dirt won't stick to their palms, but on the weak. You very actually brilliant to stick to your plan and make him get on the edge; you never gave in any details nor did you show any weak points where he could have climbed on board. You very stunning; trust Me." his eyes twinkled when he looked at me and said that. I sniffed and looked at him; his eyes softened and gave me a small smile. Then he pulled to an edge and that's when I looked out and knew I have reached my place and Alex was waiting for me in front of the double doors. I looked at him and smiled, then turned to the blue eyes as he was saying something in a hushed tone.
"You know no wonder why Alex couldn't take his eyes from you. You are very beautiful. Goodbye and good luck."
I was stunned at his comments, but in my own turmoil, I just smiled at him and said a meek thank you. I climbed out and walked towards the warm hands of Alex. It seems like he too heard the conversation, so I just sobbed slowly to his chest as he took me to my room.
"I feel stupid. He played me, Alex, he played me and I feel stupid."
"Angelina, my dear... you are new to such encounters. You don't know how such dangerous guys play. They play with your brain and make it look like they are on your side. He played very well, not using you; but by using your trust to be precise. You have nothing to feel bad about. You did well; I appreciate you for that." Apparently inspector Jenkins was the one who opened the door along with another man in black.
"But..."
"How many times have you had an actual conversation with Den?"
"Hmm, this must be my first. I mean after the whole kidnap thing."
"Ok, do you think he was really stupid enough to walk you out if he didn't have any other plan in mind?"
"I am not sure."
"Exactly; you are really pissing yourself off for no reason. He is vile and he played with your trust. You didn't ruin this, in fact, you helped me. He slipped out a slow seed into my hands and you are the one who helped me with it."
"I don't understand."
"It's too much into detective stuff. Know this that you didn't fail here, you helped me actually. Alex, take her to something or do something to take her mind off things. I will see you soon."
"Yes, inspector"
Ok, it was a fact that I did a mistake in believing Den. But, I didn't have to cry, yet I cried and I have no idea why. These days I am crying too much, it must be because of the pressure I am in. After this, I probably won't even see him and hence I calmed myself by blowing a big sigh. But, somewhere inside my brain I feel guilty that it was because of my idea, a plan may have triggered in him. That was the feeling that made me feel bad inside.
And as I was about to turn and say that to Alex, one look into his eyes was all that I need to take every blame from me, every doubt from me, every stupid notions from me and throw it away as we made love with an intense kiss to start of listening to the symphony of Adele, Shakira, and maroon 5.
