The Devil's Sweetheart

Just the mere sight of his little kit from the day he has seen her can make his heart beat faster than a speeding bullet and now that she touched his face, he felt his world has stopped running. He wanted to hold her hand again and feel her arms, but then again, he lost into those beautiful eyes and before he could snap from his thoughts, she has slipped away from his clutches. Devin glanced at the retreating figure running as fast as she could and chuckled to himself. How far she could run in this trivial plane.

He walked in her direction adding advantage to his tall legs shortening their distance. Although Leena was tall, her height still couldn't beat him in covering the thin figure. His strode towards her in swift strides and his gaze darkened when he saw her moving in a certain direction. All the earlier memories of their first encounter resurfaced. Afraid that history would repeat again, he went forward swiftly before anything wrong would happen. But when he saw his little kit was double-checking everything before entering, he chuckled with mirth. Looks like she is on high guards after that incident. He doesn't know what has gotten into him, he stood there leaning on the wall by a certain distance from the lavatory to wait for her.

He always scolded Jasper for waiting near the girl's washroom holding a love letter during the recession intervals when they were in high school. Now that he is standing here, he was dumbstruck and loss of words.

Standing in the restroom, Leena pulled her hair in embarrassment, making her already messy hair more dishevelled in the process. She wished to dig a hole and bury there for a year for the things she has done today. She becomes repulsed when someone even touches her, let alone she has never initiated the physical contact by herself. She did not even know what has gotten into her to do such a shameful act when she was always on high guards towards men. Now he will definitely think of me as a pervert!

She washed her face to look at least composed and shocked to see her hair which was looking like a bird's nest now. She wondered how it went into such a state when she perfectly groomed with all those hair care products. She combed running her own hands through the hair and suddenly remembered a priority issue.

She wished to google check on how to face a stranger after touching him, but then again, she swatted that idea when she doesn't have the tablet. Leave it, Leena! You already have a scapegoat. Lava! Cook up some story and blame it on her. She slowly opened the doorknob and slightly peeked at her sides. After confirming he has not followed to catch her, she sighed in relief and went out.

Just the moment, she turned to her right, Leena was shocked to see a tall silhouette leaning on the screen, his right leg curled over the wall, arms crossed over his chest, eyes radiating powerful aura, light casting a shadow of his mystique persona to the world which has the power to pull a person from darkness into the light.

The scene she is seeing in front of her has etched into her memory multiple times. Leena has many times dreamt of a tall silhouette leaning on the wall in the shadows, waiting for her. She has tried many times to see him but never he has turned his face to her. She was never a person to believe in the phrase dreams always would come true, so she used to brush off those thoughts. Now that she has seen. No! Any person in the shadows looks the same. He can't be. He is a devil Leena. Never cross path with him after today.

Devin walked over to the dazed Leena wondering what had made her rooted to the ground like a zombie. Did I scare her?

"Are you waiting for me to come back to earth?" He whispered behind her with a flaky smile.

Leena turned around to see him standing behind her with a smirk on his face. How she wished to cut off that from his face. She has never seen a man openly flirting with her except him.

"What?" She glared at him. She was wondering how to explain the situation now that he has caught her off guard.

"What What?"

"Actually it was not me. Lava suddenly felt that you look very handsome and she instantly requested possessing into my body for some time. When I did not agree, she has taken control of my body and it was she who touched your face." She exaggerated her story innocently.

"Did I ask about it?" He only spat out that and slowly crossed his arms. He was anticipating her answer, the little fox has entered into his maze.

Leena shook her head in embarrassment gazing down. Why didn't you keep silent Leena! It was his trap.

"What? Did yourself let the cat out of the bag?" He chuckled when she looked like a child caught by her teacher. If anyone would have heard her story, they would instantly agree to it seeing her puppy face. How many times she will use that invisible Lava. Although he was amused and wanted to accept her theory, no. He is dead set on teasing her now.

"I_I. Aren't you going?" Swiftly pointed her index finger towards the bathroom she babbled to pull him out of this conversation.

"No."

"Oh! Then why are you here?" She asked innocently. She wished to run away to her seat if she gets a little break from this situation.

"I don't want another man's dignity to be stripped again. You can't even distinguish men's and women's bathrooms outside. I couldn't imagine on a flight with a common one?" He scoffed and went away.

Leena opened her mouth to reprimand him but nothing was coming out. Why is her mouth tongue-tied when this shameless man speaks every time? I can't let him have his own way now. She ran as fast as she could towards him to teach a lesson for messing with her.

"Shameless idiot." She stepped on his foot roughly and fled away in a wink.

"Owww." He shrieked in pain when he was caught off guard. When did she come back? She looks so thin but her kick can send a person into a dead.

"Heartless woman." He muttered sitting over his seat holding his leg.

"I can hear you Mr. Lord Voldemort" Her shrill voice came out.

"So what Miss Jurassic Park?"

"Do you think I will believe your story?" She asked.

"Then did you think I would believe in your illogical theories?" He asked.

"Hmph." Both glared at each other and exaggerated simultaneously turning their backs.

They did not utter a single word clearly tired of their bickering. Leena opened her tablet to watch a series while Devin opened his mobile to play a game keeping an eye from time to time to check if she dozing off again. He flew back from his thoughts when he was called by someone.

"Young Man. Are you single?" A woman's gruff voice came out. Both Leena and Devin simultaneously looked up to see a short middle-aged woman sitting at their adjacent seat.

"Excuse me?"

"I am from Richards's family. My daughter, Maria, single and sexy. You look very handsome and my daughter is very beautiful." She smiled opening her mobile to show off the photos.

Leena giggled putting a hand over her mouth when she heard of that dirtball's family again.

"Please take back your mobile. I am not interested." Devin politely rejected but when she heard the giggles from his little kit, he felt a pang in his heart for not even feeling a little ounce of jealousy.

"You will like her once you go on a date. Can you give me your number." She looked at him with anticipation.

"I live next to Precinct police station. You can call them." He said as a matter of fact.

"How can I call the police_"

Leena burst out laughing not able to control her laughter. This douchebag family doesn't have any shame at all and this wrinkled hag must be that dirtball mother, she confirmed.

"Can you not butt into our conversation miss who so ever you are?" The woman spat out glaring daggers at Leena.

Who so ever? What did I do in the first place? I was laughing for his sarcastic comment.Leena's anger flared up and she was about to reprimand, her thoughts were cut off by him.

"Mobile." Devin demanded. How dare this old bat ignoring and reprimanding my little kit. Initially, he wanted to politely reject not to scare off his darling, now that she has touched his bottom line, he will give her the best humiliation possible.

"Here." She excitedly handover the phone. "This is her most beautiful picture."

Devin looked at the picture and scoffed at this foolish woman for not even paying to attention of the picture she had given him.

"A scar in front of each ear and the fresh wound close to eyes which means she has undergone a full facelift and double eyelid surgery recently. Nose, unusual and weirdly upturned towards the sky which means nose job surgery has failed miserably. Eyebrows unsymmetrical which means, undergone an aggressive botox. Jaw contouring, forehead lift what not. With the number of surgeries gone under the knife, she can become a spokesperson for the plastic surgery clinics."

" "

" "

Both looked at him with their mouths wide open.
