Caught in the Storm

Hazel

 "Oh! No " I whispered to myself.

Evelyn was standing in the living room , the bouquet in her hand almost crushed, nostrils flaring, her eyes met mine and I froze. A cold chill went down my spine.

I have never seen someone this angry. Never.

She clenched her jaw, "E-Evelyn " I spoke softly walking to her. Her expressions soften a little but she was really angry.

Her eyes moved down my body, then up and met my eyes again.

"I sent you an outfit , my love" She spoke suppression her anger. I stood there petrified. I don't know what to answer.

Evelyn was not like any other women I have met in my lifetime , the aura around her was tensed.

I composed myself and walked to her.

"Yes, and I received it." I replied. A smirk flashed across her face, as if She was challenged. I cocked my eyebrow.

"You are late." She spoke taking a step towards me.

"Indeed I am. I should be on my way" I said taking a step forward.

"Hazel -" Claire spike from behind but immediately shut up. I turned around, she was holding my bag. I took it, kiss her on cheek. "I will be back in evening."

She simply nod.

"He will be back when I please." Spoke Evelyn.

I turned around to face her. She was looking at me. I walked past her and exit the main door. I waved at taxi driver, so that he can take me to the café.

Evelyn followed me. Her car was standing at our entrance. She walked up to her car and opened the door for me. "Come" she stretched her hand for me.

I rolled my eyes and started walking to taxi 

"Hazel, I won't repeat." She growled instantly making me stop on my path.

"I don't want to go with you. I spoke without turning back but didn't dare to take another step.

"Why?" She ask walking up to me.

"You don't get to ask 'why'" i snarled.

Her expression softened at my response.

"Did I do something that hurt you?"

She ask holding my shoulders. I looked

away.

"Hazel , did someone told you something about me?" She asked again shaking me.

"Yes and no" I said bluntly taking a step back. "I am leaving" I said and instantly her face reddened. As if his blood was boiling inside her body. I furrowed my

Eyebrows at this sight she was always calm and composed around me. I take another step back, not because I was angry but I was scared.

She took a long step to me, picked my up from the ground from my waist with one hand and walked up to her car.

"Out" she shout and driver trembled out bowing his head. She opened the passenger door and threw me inside. She was on the drivers side in just one blink.

Engine roared and car took off, I sat there confused still processing what just happened. Not a single word came out of my mouth.

I turned my eyes to the road and saw just blurred building passing by quickly.

I looked at Evelyn , her eyes were on roads, speeding up the car, her knuckles white.

My eyes widened.

"Evelyn . Stop the car." I shout.

No response.

"Evelyn this is not funny." I shout again.

Again no response.

"Slow down at least" i spoke looking at the increasing speed of car and back to Evelyn.

Nothing.

I tried to read the sign board to know where we were heading but they passed by too fast.

"Evelyn , you are scaring me." I spoke wrapping seat belt around me. My eyes were on road. I tried to open the door but car was in child safe mode. City was left behind, we were on highway. I could see large vehicles on the road.

"Please Evelyn , I am sorry." I shout. Car slow down a little. She looked at me for a moment.

"I am sorry" i spoke again.

"You will not leave me." She seethed making me jump on my seat. I just looked at her and the road. Our car was still too fast. I shut my eyes. I was hyperventilating.

I felt car slow down but i didn't bother to open my eyes or utter a single word.

"Look at me" she spoke. I didn't respond 

"Look at me" she shouted 

I trembled then I slowly opened my eyes, we were not moving. I looked out of window, trees everywhere. 

I heard her sigh. Felt my body being pulled, within a sec I was in her lap, trapped between her and steering wheel.

She pulled my waist to her and hugged me. Tears stream down my eyes. No one ever behaved like this with me.

"I am sorry" i whispered. And she pulled me close.

"I missed you." She spoke holding me tight. I remained quiet. I don't know what to do. She gave me few minutes till calm down.

"Why were you angry?" She asked.

'I am" I correct her. She pulled back and wiped my eyes which I didn't knew was moist .

"Why?" She asked softly. Her voice was not threatening now. I relaxed a bit and looked at her.

"You have to ask me before taking me on date. You just appear out of no where and order me to go with you. And then you disappear in thin air for days.

I am just sick of everyone ordering me around." I spoke lowering my eyes.

"Hmm... Is there more?" She ask fixing the collar of my jacket 

"I don't know anything about you." I spoke playing with my hands . " I don't even have your number, How am I supposed to contact you when I miss you?"
