Chapter 31: Who is that?
Two weeks later.
**Stalker:** You seem very happy candy?
**Kiran:** I am Stalker.
**Stalker:** Any reason why?
**Kiran:** Well if you must know, it's because of my boyfriend. Henry.
**Stalker:** Oh, you mean Hard Dick? I see. I hope he's treating you well?
**Kiran:** He is, and he's name is Henry! Anyways, he's a kind gentleman much kinder than Roman, no doubt.
**Stalker:** I see, well candy want to make me happy and touch yourself? I'm so hard for you right now baby ;)
**Kiran:** Go f^ckyourself Stalker!
Kiran placed her phone into her jean pocket and concentrated on her work. The past two weeks, had been peaceful. However, she was still on edge with Roman texting her. He was trying to convince her to come to his party and discuss a sensitive matter about her boyfriend. But Henry she didn't care about what he said to her. Henry was the love of her life, who was doing everything in his power to keep him safe from Roman.
After school, she went back home and changed out of her clothes. Tonight, Kiran had a date with Henry. Slipping into her elegant black cocktail dress, that complemented her curves. Henry soon picked her up from her apartment block at 8pm.
"You, ready beautiful?"
Kiran smiled and pecked him on his lips, nodding her head.
They soon drove off and went to a fancy Italian restaurant.
Kiran ordered her Zuccni pasta whilst Henry had his very raw-looking lamb dish.
"So, Mr Henry Moretti."
"Yes, Miss Raichand?"
"You know what I do for a living and what I study, but I have no idea what you do?" Kiran curiously asked, wishing to know more about him. After all, he was now her boyfriend. Henry smiled, he placed his knife down and crept his under the table and squeezed her thigh.
"Well, I'd like to take you out of the back of the alley and do you."
Kiran blushed hard like a tomato and slapped his hand away before he made her suddenly aroused with his touch.
"Henry! Will you be serious for once and quit it with your sexual innuendos."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself, you look hot in that dress." He chuckled amused by her reaction.
"Thank you please focus, and tell me what you do?" Kiran asked in a serious tone, making Henry calm down with a sigh and answer her in an obedient way.
"Well, I run a hotelier business here in town. I've got some property out in Nevada and a couple overseas that my extended family runs."
"Oversees? Where?" Kiran asked almost finished with her meal.
"Italy, Spain and Greece."
"Cool, must be fun being a CEO of your company."
Henry nodded.
"It's a lot of hard work, keeping clients satisfied can be difficult at times." Kiran nodded in understanding, customers at her diner were hard to please too when they complained about the service. Luckily Hulio managed to hire new staff to keep the service running smoothly.
Henry then got call on his phone and held a stern look on his face reading the caller I.D
“What’s wrong?”
"Excuse me, sweetheart, I won't be too long." He got up and kissed her cheek as he made his way to the nearby balcony.
Soon, a familiar figure walked in, and made eye contact with her as he gazed about.
"Kiran?"
Delighted to see him, she rose to her feet and greeted him.
"Hey, Seth." She smiled greeting him in a friendly hug.
"Wow, you look amazing." Seth complimented and couldn’t help but mildly blush. Tonight, Kiran wore a little black dress on, that hugged her curves in all the right places. She wore her black stilettos; she was proud that she could reach Henry’s insane shoulder height. Without them on, she barely reached his shoulder.
"Thank you, I'm here with my boyfriend, who is currently caught up in a call. How about you?”
“Oh, I’m here celebrating my colleague’s leaving due at the other end of the hall.”
Kiran nodded before Seth continued on.
“I was wondering if it’s ok with you, if you can show me where you and Nathan were attacked that day?”
Kiran shot him a puzzled look.
“You weren’t there at the crime scene?”
“No, I was out of town visiting my grandma when it happened. Anyway that case has been closed and I was unable to access the files. Look, I just want to catch that wolf that murdered Nathan. I know he would have done the same thing for me.” Seth said.
She knew Seth regarded Nathan as a brother more than a best friend and she could still see he held some sort of vendetta in his eyes. She agreed on the fact that Nathan would have done the same thing, he was a very warm and kind person before he went all crazy possessive over her the last time she was with him.
“Seth, I understand, but I need some time, it’s not easy to back to that place, where it happened.” Kiran sighed out, almost going teary-eyed. She could never forget how Nathan had sexually attacked her nor could she ever forget what that beastly wolf did to him.
Seth’s hand came on her hand.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t force you like this Kiran, I don’t want you to remember the trauma you went through.”
Kiran nodded.
“I understand where you’re coming from Seth, I know you regarded him not only as your best friend but as his brother, and I will help you, I just need some time.”
Seth squeezed her hand in reassurance.
“Take all the time you need. I’m happy to wait.”
Footsteps approached from behind her. A hand snaked around her torso and pulled her back. Seth let go of her and concentrated on the guy, a foot taller than him.
“Oh Henry I’d like you to meet Mr Seth Wright. He’s a cop down at the local precinct and my college friend.”
“High school friend actually, me and Kiran go way back.”
“Oh, that’s right I forgot we met in high school. Gosh, time flies, huh?” Kiran said Seth smiled warmly back down at her. He couldn’t take his eyes of her best friend’s ex-girlfriend. He wished to make his move on her after he learnt that he died, unfortunately, he was too late.
“Henry Morretti.”
Henry pulled out his hand to shake whilst giving him a friendly look. As Seth shook his hand, Henry squeezed it hard. Seth’s heart rate spiked out of fear as he firmly gripped his hand back.
{C} I’d like to take him out back and rip his head off for dessert.
{H} Tempting offer, but let’s not get any ideas.
{C} Can you not sense his pheromone levels? He wishes to f^ck with our mate!
Henry blocked his very jealous inner beast down. Even though he could sense it, he chose to ignore it, because he knew Kiran would never cheat on him.
“Well, you two have a great evening, I better get back to my party.” Seth tightly smiled as Henry finally let go of his very throbbing hand.
“Ok, have a good evening Seth, and I’ll text you later about the visit.” She reminded earning a brief nod from him before he walked away.
Henry and Kiran sat down back at the table and ordered some dessert.
“What visit do you wish to text him about?”
“Oh, well It’s weeks from now. Basically, I promised him that I’d go back to the woods with him to see where I’d been attacked by my ex-boyfriend. Seth is determined to find that killer wolf and so am I.”
Henry choked on his drink.
Kiran rubbed his back and sat his drink to the side.
“You, ok?”
“Sure, I drank a little too fast.” He lied. He didn’t want her to go out in those parts of the woods again, and neither did he want her to know that he was the killer wolf that killed her ex.
“So, what was your call about?” She asked after he calmed down from his coughing attack.
“Ummm…It was a business call.”
“From a company?”
“You’re awfully nosey?”
“Henry I don’t expect you to tell me everything about your private life, but If I find out that you’re cheating on me, me and you are over.” She warned.
Henry laughed amused.
“Baby, I wasn’t talking to a girl, although I do find your jealousy cute.” He squeezed her thigh underneath the table, getting rather too close towards her core. As much as Kiran loved his touch on him, she slapped his hand away and gave him a strict look.
“Behave, and tell me who that was Henry, or you’re not touching me tonight.”
“Oh c’mon, seriously?”
She proceeded to get up and leave, but Henry spoke.
“Please don’t go.” He asked in his polite tone of voice, making Kiran sighed and sat back down.
“Then tell me who it was? You seemed really irked when you read who was calling.”
"You caught that huh?"
"Yeah, and I want to know whose troubling you? Talk to me please, I'm not just your girlfriend, i'm your friend too."
Henry didn't wish for her to know, however, at the same time, he did not want to keep the truth away from her.
“It was Roman.”
