Chapter 38

Ravi's POV

Somehow even after everything that that bastard had done, I'm still pretty excited to be sharing a room with him and I hate it so much. I need to hate him so that when I leave this beautiful place, I would be leaving EVERYTHING behind except my heart of course.

"So this is our room...with just a bed."

"Yeah I can see that." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Yeah don't roll your eyes at me baby boy." Nic said coming closer to me.

"W-What are you?" I stuttered out. He moved closer and I moved back on still there was no place for me to hide. "Nicholas, what are you doing?"

"I don't like your attitude baby boy." He said, our nose touching and our lips barely an inch apart.

"So what are you gonna do about it?" Oh my God, I can't believe I am encouraging him.

"Good that you asked. I'm going to bend you over my knees and imprint my palm on your ass cheek. I'm sure you will love that."

I wasn't even thinking when I let out a moan. So embarrassed but I couldn't get the image of me bent over his knees out of my head.

"And you're going to moan my name even louder than that baby boy." He said, licking his lips and drawing me in more.

Shit...I can't do this, especially not with him. So I did the next thing that entered my head, I pushed him away from. He stumbled back with a shocked face.

"Stay away from me Nicholas and don't call me that ever again." I said and walked more like I ran into what I think is the bathroom and banged the door shut.

We almost kissed, the same first kiss that I was so willing to give to him before he threw my mother in my face. I shouldn't be thinking of all these things. What I should be thinking is how you get the hell out of here in one piece... Without any attachments to anyone.

But that decision hasn't stopped me from thinking of what he said to me. I mean what does spanking have to do with sex... Nothing I think but I want to be spanked by him.

Oh God, what the hell am I thinking of. I'm supposed to like vanilla sex and not kinky things.

"Ravi, are you ok?"

"Ummm." The words rumbled provocatively in my mouth, I wanted to cause him out of the feelings and confusion that I felt but I knew that I had to be mature about this and try not to get on his bad side before whatever happened back in the room repeats itself. "Ummm yeah I'm good. Just about to take a shower."

He chuckled softly, "ok then."

I wonder what seems funny to him but I wasn't going to ask, I will have to keep our conversations minimal and simple. That should work... I think.

I stood up from the floor in search of a towel and bathing soap. I don't think I have ever stayed that long without showering in my whole life. I found the towels at the top shelf and brought four down. Two for me and the other for that scumbag.

I took a shower that was much needed for both my mental health and my curls and thank God that there was a good body wash and conditioner.

"You can go shower now. I'm done." I said coming out of the bathroom. "Oh I got some towels down for you. They are on the counter."

He nodded. "Thanks."

I went to the wardrobe and found a faded t-shirt and a short, this would have to do for now I guess.

"Damn that was a shower that was definitely needed." He said, coming out with just a towel wrapped around his waist. Water sliding down his hard abs.

Hmm, I suddenly feel the taste.

"Like what you see bunny." He said, standing so close to me. How the hell did he get this close?

I huffed, I didn't want him to believe that I have even a small amount of affection for him.... Which I don't. "I have definitely seen better." I said rushing under the covers to hide the sudden hardness in my shorts. I wonder how that happened.

He laughed loudly, "Soon bunny soon."

"Can you stop with the nicknames?" I asked.

"Nope." He said with a stupid grain on his stupid face.

"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes.

"I'm gonna let that eye rolling slide bunny but just know that I wouldn't be so kind next time." He said dangerously.

I swallowed loudly and turned my head away from him, I didn't want to look at him anymore... mostly because my face is totally red from the things I just imagined him doing to me and trust me there wasn't any vanilla involved.

"Are you going to bed now?" He asked.

"Yes, why?" I asked, turning to look at him and to see him taking off the bandage. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked stunned and rushed over to help him before his stitches tore.

He cocked her head as he looked at me, "I was trying to get it off, no need to worry over me." He said with he stupid but sexy smile on his face.

I huffed. "I don't care about you, I only care about your stitches not tearing and you not dying in my arms but of blood loss."

"I would like to do other things in your arms except dying obviously."

"Hmm very funny, now sit down and let me clean up the mess you made." I said, walking to the bathroom. I think I saw a first aid box on the shelf beside the tower of towels... Hey I rhymed.

"What's so funny?"

"None of your business Ivanov." I said sitting beside him with the box. "If this doesn't start to heal in a week, we are going to the doctors with no argument." We had tried to stop at a hospital on our way but this idiot vehemently refused so we just let it go as if it was safe to stop.

"Ok, no argument but I can assure you that I would be more than better if you feed me with tasty food."

I blushed beet red, "Don't flatter me Nicholas." I murmured.

He smiled and said, "there is definitely no need to as you are already amazing at it."

I smiled sadly, "but you think that back in Seattle."

He sighed, "I'm sorry Ravi, I didn't mean to say that. I was angry and I wanted to hurt someone."

"Then you choose me to hurt be-because you think I haven't gone through a struggle. I was kicked out by my father at the age of 16, he told me to fend for myself and that he wouldn't have a child living off funds and inheritance Nicholas. I was at an age where I needed my father the most but he wasn't there, wouldn't pick up or reply to my messages. I lived in that building for months feeding off the allowance that my father used to give to me every week since I turned 10. I was never a social person and didn't have a reason to spend money so I saved and thank God for that." I confessed. "We as in both you, me, Adrian and Nathan didn't go through financial struggles and instability. What WE went through was a lot more than that Nicholas because I went through the same thing. I don't judge my father for what he did because every parent...well most parents want the best for their kid and he thought that that was the best. It wasn't the right time for me to carry the responsibilities of an adult. I felt abandoned by Nicholas but at the same time, made a name for myself just like you did. I know you and brother went through worse but that doesn't give you the right to belittle my struggles." I confessed, wiping the tear that escaped my eyes.

"I'm sorry Ravi and I promise I wasn't trying to undermine the things that you had gone through in your life and you are right, we've all been through emotional torture in the hands of our parents so yeah I'm sorry."

"It's ok I guess." I said and finished up bandaging his cut. "We should go to bed, we need to rest up." I suggested.

"Yeah, that's right. Tomorrow is definitely going to be very stressful." He sighed, laying on the bed.

I looked at him like he was crazy, "Don't tell you to plan to sleep the whole day away."

"Yeah and don't even bother to wake me up because it's not gonna work." He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and joined him in the bed.

"Very soon I'm going to punish you for rolling your eyes at me."

I huffed, "whatever."

And true to his words, Nicholas didn't wake up even after the hours that we napped for, now matter how loud I called him or even hit him, he didn't move but then I got bored of hitting him so I went down the stairs to see the guys looking so sober... I wonder what happened.

"Umm guys, what happened? Why are your faces like that?" I asked, confused.

They all groaned as they snapped their heads towards me.

"Finally!, I thought you were going to sleep all through the day." Max said.

I rolled my eyes at that, so these idiots are sad because they haven't eaten. "Well I would if I knew you would welcome me like that besides I'm not as lazy as your brother." I said looking at Adrian.

"Yeah, that man can sleep through a hurricane, a tornado and a bomb blast. I have learnt my lesson of trying to wake him up so don't even bother." Nate chuckled. "Anyways what delicacy are you going to make now."

"Toast." I said walking to the kitchen.

"Umm no you're not." Max

"Umm yes I'm."

"Ugh come on Ravi, I'm sure you have something up your sleeves other than TOAST, I mean come on man." Max said.

"Of course I always have something up my sleeve, that's what chefs do... But I don't have the strength for that so bug off."

"Pleaseeeeee!"

"No." I replied calmly, "and don't ask again because I would throw a spoon at you."

"Ok Ok, I wonder how you can say that so calmly...or what crawled up your ass." He said.

He didn't see the spoon coming but I did.

"Hey! What was THAT for?"

"How about you come closer and let me tell you."

"No thanks."
