The Undefined Love

Back in Lifen's room. Deming was silently waiting for Lifen to continue her story. His eagerness was both because of the sour vinegar he tasted as well as the curiosity he was feeling in his heart. He has always wanted to know how her life was when he wasn't around her. Her beauty was something that he really couldn't deny. Though it wasn't her beauty that attracted him towards her but rather was her heart but still he knew how capable was that to allure anyone around her. And the main thing that really makes it more difficult is how her looks didn't matter to her. Being a man himself, he knew that this nature of a woman would only enhance her traits more and more. After meeting her for the first time he has asked Murphy to look into her background and as known to him, she has always been a magnet of attention in her high school days. Many and many of her classmates and seniors had tried their luck with her but because of God's grace on him, she has never taken them too seriously. Now thinking about it again, he so wanted to go back in those days and rip off those eyes who even dared to think that they could get her in their life. His thoughts were childish to begin with but he couldn't help but be possessive for her. To him, he has always thought in a simple way. She was someone whom God has sent in this world to brighten his life and likewise he has brought to meet her in order to love and pamper her with no limits. Wasn't this the right thing to think as it has always been said that God always creates humans in pairs? He was looking at her petite face where clear lines of confusion were forming. Her confusion wasn't related to the question he asked her but was about how to present her words in front of him. He was really loving the nervousness on her face. "First I want to inform you that there has never been anything between me and any of my friends. We have always been associated because of the business. So there should be no way in which you should turn mean to them if they ever met you", she said with some authority in her voice. Her tone came out more like a command. It was not like Deming minded her having authority over him but her words really intrigued him. "So you know I am a possessive kind of boyfriend, yet you dared to tease me with such words? I can't guarantee anything now. It will depend on how those cheap men were around you?" He said as he gave a serious look to her face which never faltered even a bit. "Whom are you calling cheap? They all are famous tycoons around the world. It's really bad to look down on anyone" she said with a pout and folded her arms over her chest giving an expression that there was really nothing wrong in her words. "Do you think you have the power to bargain with me especially after your teenage childish games?" "Fine but I am still asking you to behave like a mature a.d.u.l.t not like a possessive teenage boyfriend. Since I am a woman, love proposals from men around are really something unavoidable. That was the only scenario. While I was here in London, we often had to meet and discuss business. Maybe my presence created a type of illusion in their head that made them think that we can grow something more than a business partners" "But there wasn't anything to worry, since I never reciprocated to them. I was very sure that I would never fall for anyone…" She was still in the midst of completing her words when Deming sat up straight, leaned a little towards her and pulled her forward grabbing her wrist. "You are not any woman. You are my woman and I will make sure that the whole world comes to know that. And you are right you can't reciprocate to their feelings as your feelings and heart are only constructed to reciprocate my feelings. Got that?" he asked and then looked deep into her deep black eyes. The more he looked into her eyes the more he felt he was falling for her. It was a magnet that was pulling him deep down into her, making it hard for him to think anything else. She nodded her head to his words as it would be the best thing at this moment. And above all what he said was not wrong. She also knew it well that the reason behind her not reciprocating any of those proposals was him. Her heart was too small to take in others when she already had one for such a long time that she herself forgot to count the days. He softly placed a simple loving kiss over her forehead and then pulled her up over himself making her lie over his body in a decent way while he made himself comfortable on the couch, straightening his body on it. He really liked when she cuddled within his loving embrace. "Now go to sleep. You must already be tired", he said softly as he caressed her soft hair with his fingers. "But in this position…it must be uncomfortable for you. Let me go and you rest well too. Your flight must be tiring too", she said as she tried to get up from him, but Deming pulled her towards him once again. "Shhhhh!!! Just go to sleep. I can't be more comfortable than this. So don't move and sleep quietly", he said as he hugged her more into himself. They remained silent and closed their eyes trying to feel the comfort both were giving to each other. Without coming to their realization, they were already in the deep lands of the dreams. After quite some time, suddenly Lifen's phone rang bringing her back from her dreams She stirred over Deming's body which woke him too. She tried to get up but he was reluctant to let her go. But when he saw her expression with pursed lips, he agreed to her and removed his arms from her. She stood up and went to receive her phone. But the moment the call was connected, a loud scream came from the other side, "Lifennnnn!!!! I am feeling so good, but it seems I am lost. What to do? Lifennnn!!" Lifen was all confused with her friend's different tone, which wasn't at all like her and in the background there was loud music playing. Where has this girl gone?
