IT WAS CONSIDERED A DO OR A DIE THING

The best way to punish the girl for whatever she had said about him today was to sleep beside her.

He would like to see the shocked expression on her face when she finds him sleeping beside her.

He would then see if she dares to call him gay ever again. Laying beside her, he looked at her silently, as if trying to embed her features in his memory.

It was almost two years after he met her again. That time when he had first met her, she looked like a lost soul without a body. Though she was happy, due to her escaping a dangerous situation, he still sensed that loneliness coming through her.

They had a very brief encounter but the girl had something unique in her that made him want to search her, after that encounter. Even though he had tried to search everywhere for her, but he still couldn't find her even after using all his resources.

All he knew about her was that her name was Jenny and she had a very unique pair of eyes.

The girl he knew was a round faced fat girl, who was highly enthusiastic in leading him a helping hand at that time.

Even though she had lost a lot of weight, but he still could recognise her with a single glance.

She had grown into a stunning and beautiful woman, who was a total contrast with the cute and fatty girl.

She was a breathtaking beauty, who could win a man's heart with just a wink. But Emmett didn't like that idea. He didn't know when his feelings for her changed, as in the start all he felt about her was a mere interest.

That interest slowly turned into fascination and now into much more complicated feelings, which he couldn't decipher and had never felt before. It was a new feeling, something like an attraction, or possession.

He couldn't point it out, but he knew that if he would be given a choice to choose his future partner, then it would have to be the woman beside him.

Though he somewhat knew about the sufferings she had faced in the past, as she had mentioned quite a few incidents to him and from that he knew, she wasn't much interested in men, but that didn't mean she had taken interest in females. It was just a kind of fear, that lay deep within her.

And he would have to pull out those roots of fear that were hidden somewhere within her.

He could smell the fragrance coming out from her. It was a milky scent, which he wanted to smell. He unknowingly snuggled a little closer to her.

He didn't know when sleep took over him, as he closed his eyes and slept peacefully.

Somewhere inside a dark alley two figures were walking timidly, with bids of sweat rolling down their faces.

They had just come to know that their plan had terribly failed. They had tried to kill the pride, without a lion in it.

This wasn't actually considered a failure, as they had strayed from their aim. They felt shameful as they couldn't even see, when the almighty lion had escaped from their clutches.

Now all they could do was to bear the punishment, given by their boss. And they knew it was going to be worst than death. But eventually they would die, a painful death.

The last thing their boss wanted was a defeat. He couldn't accept failures and he doesn't accept any reason.

It was considered a do or a die thing.
