From fire to ice

The voice of Kelsey Ballerini filled my room ruining my peaceful sleep at the early hours of the Friday morning. It's not that I don’t like Kelsey in fact I love her beautiful voice that’s why I made one of her songs my ring tone. The thing is, I am not pretty in the morning and by not pretty I mean I can be extra snappy especially if you wake me up intentionally. I pray that whoever is calling me right now have a very good reason for doing so or else I will put a knife straight to their spinal cord. Nobody ruins my morning and get away with it. With a deep frown, messy hair and a deep annoyed groan I pressed the answer button not bothering to check the caller's ID.

“You better have a legit valid reason for disturbing my sleep or else I will hunt you down and feed you o my tigers. They haven’t tasted the human flesh yet but I will test it on you.” I threaten whoever was on the other end of the line. I am already so pissed. I should really learn on how to be polite.

“You keep tigers as pets?” Noah's alluring voice blesses my ears awakening all the cells in my body that where still sleeping.

“Goodness Noah, why are you calling me at 5 in the morning?” I complained, totally not annoyed anymore. He can wake me up anytime of the day and totally get away with it.

“Well, good morning to you too Patricia? How did you sleep?”

“I was sleeping beautifully until you decided it was okay to wake me up at 5 am !” I retorted adding some sass so he won’t suspect just how happy I am that he called me.

“I apologize for that. Considering how highly professional you are according to the Times magazine I just guessed you rise as early as a bird, clearly that’s not the case.” He chuckles. Oh heavens, his voice has this delicious yet uncontrollable affect on me, it arises feelings that I never know I possess. The richness in his laughter makes me want to jump his bones so I feel the vibrations of his voice physically by entrapping his muscular body in an embrace with my small one. I want to feel all of him.

“Patricia, are you still there?” he asks with uncertainty. I guess I must have zoned out .It's his fault I am this distracted anyway, he has this sexy thing about him that just makes me lose all my senses all at once.

“Yes, I guess my mind is still in my sleep. Anyway, why did you call?” I ask curiously.

“Well,,I kind of need your help with something. Please don’t say no.” he pleas. Beside him being such a gentleman there’s just this sweetness about him that makes me want to drag him straight to the altar and marry the shit out of him.

“If you want me to kill someone for you it’s not happening okay. Noah, I don’t kill people. Just tell me what they did to you and I will ?give them the fitting punishment.”

“Will you just listen to me mi a more? I don’t want you to kill or punish anyone. I just, I just want you to accompany me to our hospital's anniversary at 6pm today. And before you say no, I know that this is really short notice but it’s …..”

“Yes, I will accompany you.” I cut him off before he even he gives me all the explanations. I am sure he is hella surprised by this just as much as I do. For me to agree to something, it usually takes a whole lot of lot of explanations but Noah Williams just gave to ask me to jump and I'm already asking how high? What the hell is wrong with me?

“Wow, I actually thought you were going to kill me for even thinking that you will accompany me but I guess miracles really do happen, you have a golden heart after all. So see you at 6? ” He states his surprise teasingly. I was grinning from jaw to jaw like a fool. So he thinks I have a golden heart huh? Wow, nobody have ever told me that.

“Uhm, yeah! See you at six.” Finally finding my voice after dropping that bomb on both of us. Oh My God, did he just ask me out? He definitely did! I was giggling nonstop while jumping on my bed like a teenager.

14 hours later

“If I knew that your event was going to be this boring I would have refused you in a second without a single thought. Jesus, doctors are so boring, no offense. I complained as we were escaping the function after Noah received Best Doctor of the Year Award. I'm so proud of him.

“Are you calling me boring mi amore ?” he asks with this threatening yet teasing look. We were approaching his car when I felt his hand on the small of my back. I turn to look at him in a heartbeat. He is looking at me like I'm the one that makes rain. He looks at me like am the center of his universe.

“I asked you something Tricia. Am I boring?” he asks again. Tricia? I love it! His arm has already encircled my waist. He pulls me closer to him, way too close that I can feel his minty breath fanning my face. This man will surely be the death of me.

“ No, you’re actually the only doctor I know that’snot boring.” I answered breathily. I placed my hand on his chest.I became bold and started feeling up his abs. I can actually feel his tense muscles through his tux. I am looking straight into his green eyes.

“ Good!” He whispers while leaning in. Before I knew what was happening we were in a full blown make-out session. His lips are soft, demanding yet so loving and tender. God, he kisses like no other. I feel so fervid. The fervent desire I have for him to take me right here right now is beyond my power. My legs are weakening, I can feel my knees giving in. He is holding me by the waist so tight like he wants to keep me here forever. His tongue is swimming with mine in a pool of hot and undeniable desire. Never have I ever thought that a mere kiss can ever feel this feverish and mind-blowing. I was starting to get a little bit dizzy so I pull out.

“Oh My God, please tell me that you felt that! “he asks while pulling me in for a passionate hug. His voice became huskier and even more sexy.

“If by that you mean how undescribably amazing that kiss was then , yes. I felt every bit of it.” I whispered afraid that if I said it out lout it will ruin the moment.

“Good, because I refuse to be enslaved by that beautiful kiss in a well of boiling desire alone. You’re just so irresistible and so very beautiful that I can’t help but want to kiss these beautiful and delicious lips of yours every second I am with you.” He declares between the pecks that he was continuously delivering on my lips.I held the back of his head and went in for a more deeper and demanding kiss.

“Then that’s a good thing because I can’t seem to resist your charms either Doctor.” I teased and he chuckles.

“Well, I should get you home before your brothers come demanding for my head to be cut off and before Mirabel starts screaming off the poor nanny's ears.” I laughed. His sense of humor is legit. He isn’t wrong though. If I didn’t come with my bodyguards my brothers would really demand for his head to be cut off.

We were driving towards my house in a peaceful silence until Noah came up with a stupid karaoke competition called who can Karaoke it better?. It was really nice hearing him sing, he is such s great singer. And then there is me, let's just say singing isn’t one of the good things that God have blessed me with. So when it was my turn, Noah almost hit the car in front of us and begged that I stop singing with immediate effects before I caused an accident. It was supposed to be funny but it just brought out those days when I was bullied in school because apparently I sounded like a horse when I sing, so I shut my mouth all together. I can’t believe that the only guy I like is doing this to me, and he was so unaware of just how much damage he has already caused. I wanted to cry so bad but because I am Patricia Bianco, I looked out of the window and ignored him instead. The street lights are really beautiful.

“Tricia, I know you’re mad at me right now and I’m sorry but right now I think we're being followed.”He declares agitatedly.
