Questions unanswered

'Ian!' he said with final words.

'You don't need to know my last name' he said, his blank expression returning. When Cara said her name Ian couldn't recognize her from any well known families or the people who wanted him dead. Ian knows the people of his city very well. He knows every surnames which hold power in this city and which doesn't. Cara's surname was common. But he still felt like she was not from common family.

Cara scoffed but didn't questioned further about his last name and asked him the question that was intriguing her from the time she saw him lying in the alley.

'Why was you hurt so badly? Who did it to you? And why did they do it? Are you a good person or.. Bad person?' Cara asked every questions that was bugging her mind whole night. When Cara asked the last question, a little fear rise inside her stomach doubting that she might have made a mistake by saving him.

She then shook her head mentally. No, saving him cannot be a mistake. Even if he is a bad person hope.. he would become good, She thought.

A dark chuckle resonated the room. Ian. He then gave Cara a hard look. 'Kitty! You shouldn't be so curious' he said smiling darkly. His smile gave her chills. 'You know, curiosity. Kills. The cat' he said slowly emphasizing every words like she wouldn't have understood him if he spoke normally.

His hidden message was crystal clear. Cara understood what he meant. But it didn't stop Cara.

She thought, if he was going to act stubborn then I will give him the same.

'Well, i would hate to break it to you but I'm not a cat or KITTEN' she said giving him a fake smile. 'SO.. Answer my questions Ian!' she said gritting out every words.

'It's none of your business, Cara!' Ian said using the same tone as hers.

'I saved a person who I don't have a clue about, who I have never seen or never heard about. And that person is in my house lying in my couch! And you say it's none of my business?' Cara said losing her calm.

Cara's words made Ian little bit guilty. But he can't say her. Answering Cara's questions will only harm her. So it's better if she doesn't know anything, Ian thought.

'Cara' he said softly. A single word from him calmed Cara down. His tone made Cara's heart beat faster. He stretched his hands and hold Cara's wrist dragging her closer. He tugged at her hand to make her sit. She sits. Now their eyes coming at same level. Ian felt reluctant to let go of her wrist but he does.

'I'm not a bad guy or... I might be.. In some people's eyes' Ian said gently and muttering the last sentence in his breath. 'But i will never hurt you and I wouldn't want you to be hurt. SO, its better if you don't know anything about me' he said not leaving her gaze even for once. 'Trust me, kitty' he said softly. His words putting her in trance.

Her heart felt like she could trust him. But she's not going to trust someone who she barely know. But his words seemed believable. So she nods at him and excused herself saying she will bring him breakfast.

She returned with the breakfast in her hand and placed the plate on the coffee table which was in front of the couch.

'Can you sit' cara asked Ian.

'No' he said letting out a huge breath. He had never felt this helpless before. 'Can you help me up'

'off course' cara said rushing forward. Ian stretched his arms forward and placed in on her shoulder. She puts her arm around his back and helps him to sit. He groans when his abdomen screams in pain.

' you alright? Do you wanna lay down?' she asked him in concerned. 'I'm fine. No' he said hiding his pain.

'Okay'

She handed him the plate and went to bring the meds for him.

'Hey eat this two tablets after you finish eating' Cara said placing the tablets on the table. He nodded.

He finished eating his breakfast quickly and then gulped down the tablets.

'Ian! Don't you want to contact anybody? Your family or friends?' Cara asked.

He looked at her for a second then replied. 'No' he said firmly.

'Why?' Cara asked confused.

'I cannot contact anybody. If I do, then you'll be in danger along with me'

'I don't understand. Why will I be involved?'

'Kitty, You don't know who you saved, do you?' he asked smirking.

'Who?'

'A person who has thousands of enemies. And the enemies who could go to any length to see me dead. So you knowing anything about me will put you in danger. And same way if anybody get to know about me staying here will put you in danger. So until I get fully healed and can walk myself out of here. I will not contact anyone'

She looked at him dumbstruck.

'Did I really save such a dangerous person?' Cara muttered to herself.

'You did' Ian chuckled hearing her words clearly. 'But fear not, I will not let you get involved with this dangerous person' he said getting serious. 'And you are not going to say about me to anyone' he ordered.

'Okay'

Ian started to feel drowsy. The medicines he ate kicking in. Cara noticed his drowsiness.

'Let me take you to guest room. Afterall, you will be staying here for now. You can't sleep on the couch every day' she said coming near him.

'Okay' he said and put his arm around her shoulder and she put hers around his back. He stood up with difficulty enduring the pain. As he put the force on his leg the pain would shoot from his abdomen.

The guest room was not far just a little ahead. Their house was big just for two person. The house actually belongs to Cara which was gifted by her parents. Cara couldn't stay in this big house alone. So she bought Hannah along with her. And usually more of their friends comes for sleepover. It's a two story house with three bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs.

After little painful walk they reached the bedroom. He removed his arm from around her shoulder and sat on the bed. She removed her arm from around him too.

Ian let out a huge breath and leaned his back on the head board. Cara swept her gaze around the room to see whether everything was in right place or not. The size of the room was good. Not too big not too small. A proper one.

Then her gaze landed on pillow next to Ian which was not properly placed and the bedsheet that was slightly peeking out.

She felt lazy to go around the bed and make it proper. So she simply bend over Ian and was making it proper. She didn't noticed their closeness. While Ian felt a weird emotion rise in him looking her body this close to him. Her cheek was just an inch away from his lips. He felt an urge to feel her cheek which was so smooth and fair.

Cara was oblivious to what she made him feel. She suddenly felt something warm touch her cheeks. She couldn't comprehend for a second. Then when she realized it was Ian's lips that was touching her cheeks she suddenly jolted backwards. She looked at him and found him having a blank expression. His expression made her angry. He actually kissed her and he was acting like he didn't do anything.

'Why did you kiss me?' she asked touching the spot which he had kissed.

'I didn't. It was you who came near my lips' he said averting his eyes. His lips which he had been trying so hard to hold it in straight line slightly tug upwards.

Cara wouldn't have noticed it if she wasn't looking at him closely. Cara was about to believe his words but the slight lift of his lips made her sure that he was lying.

'You..! ' she glare at him.

'What?' he asked masking his smile.
