Chapter 14: Chapter 14

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Ariana's dress creased downwards, thereby revealing her spotless thighs. The drapes between them sank softly. She rested her head backwards and lifted her chest. The posture enticed Robbo!

He wanted to pull her close. But it wasn't possible, given that he was driving. And she didn't even seem to be in the mood for it. Roberto looked at her hands briefly, she fixed her fingers into themselves and placed them on her flat belly. The young woman looked as ravishing as a goddess!

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Her natural lashes were just the perfect length for a face as delicate and pristine as hers. Ariana had two holes made on each ear. She had a fervent personality. It was one of the qualities Robbo liked about her. He wondered why she remained silent all through their way back. 'I must have messed up really bad!'

Ariana could tell that his attention was on her. Still, she did not expect him to just stop the car by the side of the road. "Is anything the matter?" she asked him. But he didn't say a word.

The other vehicles before and after the one they were in also stopped. The windows were tinted. So, nobody could see through any of them.

Roberto sent a message to the others via a microphone fixed very close to the steering wheel. "Everything is alright. We just want to be left alone for a while. So, do not disturb." After his announcement, his men positioned themselves and waited.

He moved towards Ariana and stroked her thigh. She remained motionless as if peering at the headliner of the car. 'What are you doing?' she asked herself. 'Aren't you supposed to be mad at me?"

Roberto moved himself a little closer and touched the fine drapes her dress had formed. His hands wanted more, but she stopped him. 'I don't understand what's going on.' Ariana was confused. "Why do you suddenly want to touch me, we've been together all this while?" she asked him. "Do you now think so little of me because of the stare?"

"No, it was just from impulse, I didn't know what came over me. It wasn't my intention to offend you," he replied apologetically.

'I see. You have resorted to sarcasm, haven't you?' Ariana expected a hysterical laugh afterwards but none followed.

The player felt so guilty and ashamed of himself. He looked deeply sorry. This further compounded her confusion. "What are you trying to achieve by this act of yours?"

"Please, don't taunt me," he pleaded.

"Robbo, are you alright? Is this some sort of mind game?" She was becoming very uneasy. "What do you mean by that?"

"I know that there's no excuse for what I did. But I swear that it wasn't intentional."

"What did you do that wasn't intentional?"

"You don't have to be so contemptuous."

"Robbo, I'm not being contemptuous," she said. "I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Perhaps you should shed some light."

After he explained his side of the story. Ariana became convinced that he had no idea that she stared at Jason Sam in an inordinate manner. So she also let him know about her experience. "I couldn't stop myself from looking at the player. It was as if he had become the center of my world."

At first, Roberto was awestruck. But both of them continued to speak about what happened in amazement. None of them believed in such things as spirits and ghosts. The couple didn't even think it was possible to be hypnotized. In fact, after a while, everything spiraled into some kind of joke.

When Ariana became very light hearted. Robbo reached for her legs and drapes and was met with no resistance. Then he moved really close to her and sunk his hand deeper between her thighs. But immediately their lips touched, something extraordinarily strange happened.

She began to cough strongly and her mouth foamed! Her eyeballs rolled away and she appeared lifeless on the car seat.

Alarmed by the sudden occurrence, Roberto quickly informed the drivers and they hurried to the nearest hospital in order to revive his dying heartthrob. He had never been so scared!

Firstly, he feared for the woman's life because of his deep affection for her. But the footballer was also very worried about what the press and society in general would believe if she died.

When they got to the hospital, he was asked to wait in a separate room while she was rushed into the Intensive Care Unit.
