CHAPTER 9

"Raven Lorraine..." the name slowly rolled over her tongue as she fixed her gaze on the man. Her eyes slowly grew wide and almost popped out of the eye sockets when realization struck her like a lightening. She pulled her hands to her mouth as she gasped out loud, the man on the floor looked at her confused but continued the movement of his fingers around her ankle.

She pointed a finger at him, one hand still covering her mouth and she whispered too softly against the palm.

"You..... You are R-Raven Lorraine?"

He looked at her pointed finger and back at her before nodding his head. Another gasp left het mouth and stood up in attention, not caring about the pain in her ankle. The man on the floor pouted while looking up at her, and slowly pushed himself up as he stood tall in front of her.

She looked at him still shocked, "You...mean...y-your father is Ri-Ri-Richard Lorraine?" He nodded again with his doe eyes showing nothing but confusion. Anna could not believe what she heard.

He was The Raven Lorraine, who had hardly ever featured in any photo magazine or Newspaper but immensely famous and well known to be among the 20 Most successful businessmen of New York and 10 Most desirable bachelors in the city.

The fact that very few people had the chance to meet him in person is what made his life more secretive. She had read about his success stories in the newspapers, and recently his picture was viral over the internet when he arrived from France at the airport.

That was the reason he looked familiar to her ever since she saw him. How did she not realize? She face-palmed herself. He shook the sleeves of her t-shirt slowly that made her look up at him, he smiled brightly before leaning down and resting his head on her shoulder again.

Anna gulped as his hot breath hit her neck.

"Why do you ask sooooo many questions Noona? You already know all of it." he giggled before snuggling his face into her neck. 'Know all of it? What does he mean by that?'

She was broken from her chain of thoughts when he suddenly came closer to her. She reflexively stepped back, the back of her knees hit the bed and she lost her balance and fell back onto the bed. Normally she would have giggled at such a thing but right now she couldn't, not with a man double her size resting his whole body on hers, pushing her more into the mattress.

She stared at the ceiling, not able to comprehend the position she was in. His face was buried in the crook of her neck, hands around her tiny waist, his legs on either side of hers. He did not even try to shift himself and she squirmed under him trying to get out of his grips and failing miserably.

She let out a loud breath, this was too much for her, he was acting way too clingy and touchy which she did not like. Specifically because she had never even hugged a guy so closely and this man was practically laying on top of her.

Placing her hands against his biceps, she tried to pushed him , "Get up" her stern voice echoed in the room. He slowly looked up at her and pouted but instantly followed her order and crawled away from her and stood up. She breathed heavily after he lifted his body weight off her, placing her hands against her chest, she sat up on the bed. She still couldn't understand what he eats to be this heavy.

He was looking at her with the same pout that refused to leave his face, his eyes sparkling in the bright room. Without glancing at him she stood up and walked around him towards the door and he immediately held the hem of her shirt again following her, "Noona." he called after her but she did not look back. Raven Fucking Lorraine was in her house, whom she rescued from an accident, how could her mind even stay calm?

She hurried downstairs totally ignoring her injured foot and he followed her all the way not letting go the hem of her t-shirt like a small baby. She walked towards the kitchen but stopped in her tracks, turning around, looking back at the shining green orbs which stared down at her. He let go off her t-shirt and flashed a wide smile at her, "Noona".

She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, why was he calling her Noona? Who is this Noona and why is he acting so weird? Mostly when people loose their memory they become totally silent but he was the other way round. Had he actually lost his memory or was he mentally unstable? She now realized how important it is to take him to the hospital, and turned around to go talk to Grannu about it but when she felt his steps behind following hers, she stopped and faced him.

Stretching her hands forward she shoved her palm in front of his face, signalling him to stop, "You stay here" she said as strictly as she could and he blinked before nodding his head.

'Wow, That was easy'

She turned around and went straight into the kitchen where she saw her grandmother serving the hot noodles into the bowl, the whole kitchen smelled so good that it could make anyone feel full already. "We have to take him to the hospital now. Now, as in right now" she said placing both her hands on the kitchen counter and lowering her head down like she had just run a marathon.

The old lady gave her a confused look, "What happened and why are you like that?" she pointed at her cheeks which were still red, because of what happened in her room. She recalled how his whole body rested on hers but she did not feel a bit of pain, just warm. His warmth. She looked at the old lady giving her a weird look, as if trying to read her mind.

Anna cleared her throat and straightened her t-shirt before standing upright, "I'm fine. But he is not. We have to take him to the hospital, like, right now. I think he is crazy." she was more of like talking to herself, waving hands in the air and making weird faces trying to depict how crazy the man is. The old granny sighed at the girl and lifted the tray with the bowl of noodles and cookies off the counter and walked right pass her, totally ignoring her blabbering.

"Grannu. Are you even listening?" she followed the lady, grumbling and muttering things which were ignored by her. They both came out of the kitchen and found the man standing near the table, looking down, playing with his fingers.

'He is still standing where I told him to be' she looked at him as she bit back a sigh.

He slowly raised his head when the smell of noodles filled his nostrils, eyes sparkling with excitement when he say the bowl of noodles in the lady's hands. She smiled at him before placing the noodles down on the table, gesturing him with her hands to take a seat at the chair. He nodded quickly and sat down, immediately looking at the bowl.

Anna could not break her gaze from him. He looked so adorable, his eyes, his pouty lips and that smile, everything looked so cute, she wanted to squish his cheeks but restrained herself. The old lady served the bowl of hot noodles right in front of him and placed the cookies at the side.

He looked at her and gave her a cheeky smile before grabbing the fork and scooped a big lump of noodles from the bowl, blowing a couple of times and finally shoving it into his mouth all at once. Anna smiled at his bread cheeks, he looked so soft and squishy. He closed his eyes, enjoying the taste of the noodles and the old lady looked at him in pure happiness, satisfied with her hard-work when she saw him smiling through the bloated cheeks.

The door bell went off and before Anna could go, her Grannu was already making her way towards it, leaving her alone with the squishy cheeked man. He shoved another big lump into his mouth, closing his eyes he softly moaned as he devoured the tasty shreds. That sound, Anna smiled although she felt little goosebumps at his voice.

'Oh my, his voice is so deep' her inner mind suddenly came alive , drooling all over which had Anna rolling her eyes.

She heard footsteps coming towards and saw her Grandmother walking in but she was not alone, someone else followed her inside and Anna almost felt her heart skip a beat. Her voice came out so soft only she could hear it when she saw the boy entering

"Ethan"
