Chapter 44: Affection

"People should be trusted but not blindly"

***************************************

Severus and Noworry came back.

Brunette hairs, curled up in locks, covered Desella's face. Her complexion was sickly white but under the rays of the sun, it only radiated giving out an otherworldly aura. She wasn't tall like Severus but wasn't a shorty too. Walking shoulder to shoulder with Severus she attracted many stares. Severus himself was a walking beauty who attracted many stares from men and women both, but now since they both were walking together, they looked like a quiet couple.

Desella scrunched her eyes in annoyance when she noticed the stares. She hurriedly made her way and came close to Severus, practically hiding him from the watches.

In her jealousy, she didn't even notice that the men around her were practically drooling on her.

When noworry noticed everything fold in front of him, he was shocked. No matter what, he can not avoid those stares of men. They all looked like a hungry beast who were ready to pounce as soon as they saw an opportunity. Noworry nudged Severus and explained him the situation.

When Severus witnessed the stares, he was annoyed too, and so he just grabbed her cold hands and started walking fast.

Desella was shocked when warmth engulfed her cold hands. She was utterly surprised and in daze looked up to see Severus indifferent face that had a tint of annoyance. She thought about it and several questions came inside her mind.

Is he angry?

Why?

I didn't do anything?

Ufff....why is he grabbing my hands?

Where are we going?

What's running inside his mind?

Desella was confused but before she could think more, she was dragged by Severus. Severus was using his force this time. It wasn't like she was weak, if she wanted she could quickly subdue him but for some unknown reasons she trusted him and allowed him to drag her.

Desella enjoyed her dragging and soon she was freed from Severus grasp.

She felt disappointed.

She was actually enjoying it.

"Why did we stop?", she asked in resentment.

Severus was confused about her question but nevertheless, he answered her." We are here for you. We need to buy dresses for you first and some basic essential items."

Desella didn't understand anything but she didn't object to it too. She let Severus choose things for her and after shopping, they went to a stall.

The spicy aroma of fish soup filled the air. It was smelling as heavenly and it brought water inside the mouth of various bystanders.

Desella stomach grumbled when she saw the tasty fish soup.

Gargargar...

She clutched her stomach in embarrassment and looked meekly at Severus.

She really hoped that she could dig a hole and burry in it.

Why?

It is so embarrassing.

I hope he didn't hear it since the hustle and bustle is very loud.

But her hopes drowned when she saw Severus smirking.

"So, wills also feel hungry? I gotta see what else is similar between Will and mortals."

Desella wanted to cry, but no tears came.

Severus asked for a takeaway and soon rented a simple house for themselves. Since now he got a new partner so he asked for a house that has two rooms and luckily he got it. It was a living-in house that had all the necessary facilities "

Severus pointed his fingers in front of a room and said," From today onwards this room is yours. Go freshen up and come to the dining room afterward. We will be having lunch together as I have some things to discuss with you."

Desella nodded his head in response and took her belongings to the personal room.

Severus dropped the takeaways at the table and he too went inside his room for a shower.

Noworry".....'

He was left alone. Nobody cared about his existence.

Damn!

That punk. How can he forget about me? I need a separate room for myself too. I should just punish him for his ignorance, noworry grumbled.

"Noworry you can go and enjoy it for the time being. I am too tired and hungry so I am going to take a shower. Happy flying!", a voice greeted Noworry ears.

It was Severus' voice.

The door was still closed and probably he has listened to everything through their telepathic communication.

Ooooof, I always forget to close the communication.

Now since he was left alone, he decided to go for a walk. He went outside.

After half an hour

***********************

Severus came out wearing casual clothes. His wet flicks covered his handsome face and gave a sweet boy vibe. He casually took a seat for himself and started fiddling with takeaways.

Desella too came out from her room after her shower. Her curly locks were scattered all over her head and she looked quite funny in this appearance. She wore a casual long dress and appeared teen too.

"Wow! You look good", Severus compliment her.

Desella blushed on his compliment and when she looked up and saw his cheeky smile, her heart fluttered. Hurriedly she took a seat for herself and kept her hands on the table.

Severus enjoyed her flustered self and chuckled.

"Don't be flustered. It's not like I will eat you up. You are probably more strong than me, so take it easy. Come take it, this is your share"

Severus passed one of the boxes of food and spoon to her.

Desella accepted the box and immediately dig in. She was too hungry to care about her manners and she just ate the food as quickly as she can.

Severus laughed when he saw her acting this way and soon he too ate his share of food.

Desella finished her food early and sat quietly on the table since it would be awkward if she left Severus alone while he was eating his food, so she just stared at her hands.

Severus too finished his food quickly and collected the trash to throw it inside the dustbin. Desella felt like she was some royal person that was being served. A mushy feeling surged inside her heart and she felt happy.

Severus came back and took his seat while casually styling his hair.

"Why so quiet? You were so chirpy back there, what happened now? Shouldn't you be giving me an explanation for following me and luring me to free you from that trap?", Severus saw through her lie.

Desella was too shocked when she heard the statement.

"I didn't lied to you but I just told you half-truth", Desela blabbered in nervousness.

"Hmmm. Is it? Then better explain me everything in detail otherwise go back inside the book", Severus threatened him.

Desella was scared out of her wits now and clenched her hands into a tiny fist. The atmosphere inside the room changed. Gone was the harmonious and peaceful environment that was present there a fwe minutes ago.

Desella smirked lightly," Oh really! You want to trap me. Oooof...should I be scared then, no should i cry? Or just would sit here meekly? Listen Severus, I am thankful to you for rescuing me and taking care of me. You are a good guy and I don't want to harm you. So, let's just treat that nothing happened here, okay?", Desella asked sternly.

"Now, now.....are you threatening me? DESELLA, sigh at least be grateful that I gave you a beautiful name. What a heartless women!!!!!!!!"

"Oh! How can I forget that women are heartless creatures? My bad. Ummm...did you say something about me like I am not capable and blah blah...."

"Listen, Sweety, If I can rescue you from that hell than I can also send you back to that hell. Understood, you better understand", Severus said cooly but the looks he gave were killer.

It sent chills down the spine of Desella, making her shiver involuntarily.
