Chapter 531 - Passion....

Kareem hung up the phone smiling wickedly and turned to look at the girl approaching the room. A feeling of deja- vu occured in his mind as if, he has lived this moment before and has been in this situation before. As if when ever he has been injured, this lady has been there to look after her and treated her wounds with utmost love and care.  "What is it about you?" He whispered looking at the appoaching girl. 

"Sorry! Did you say something?" Sheryl smiled, coming towards him, inside the room.

"Yes! What took you so long? Are you fine?" Kareem asked smiling at her pleasantly. 

"Ah! Yes! I went to check on the kids. They seem to be sleeping peacefully." Sheryl smiled back and started wrapping the boy's arm with white colored medicated tapes, now standing at his left side. Not having to face him directly, made Sheryl a bit more at ease. But Kareem was not happy that the girl was no longer effected or intimidated by his presence. 

He once again turned and looked at the girl and touched her hand gently. "It is hurting. Can you do it more gently." 

Sheryl halted at the touch of his hand and gulped feeling intimidated again. "I am sorry. Sure, I will do it more slowly and gently." She once again snuck out her hand from under his hand and continued with the process more slowly. 

Kareem sighed as he knew, it was not going to be so easy to convince this girl. She was definitely not like others, who are already waiting for him to make a move at them. "Have you seen my movies? Even a single one??" Kareem asked her in desperation and frustration. 

"Offcourse! Who has not seen your movies? What a silly question to ask." Sheryl smiled, taping his wounds. 

"Did you like them?" He asked feeling remorse.

"Offcourse. Some of them, are my favourite too." Sheryl spoke happily. 

"Then please tell me, why are you not interested in me?" Kareem spoke in a childish tone, as if not being able to get his favourite toy. 

"What!??" Sheryl frowned. "That is because, I am a simple girl Kareem. I have limited dreams and I want to live peacefully and happily. I do not want any complexities in my life, I have already had enough in my past. Also, I want a simple guy, who loves me with sincerity and honesty for who I am, not for what I look!" Sheryl smiled completing the coverage of the wounds on his arm. 

Kareem sighed and did not reply. Infact he did not know, what to say any further. But, he was sure, he was never going to give up on this girl. He did not know why, but suddenly he felt an odd connection with her. A connection which has no limits or boundaries. Which is beyond life and death cycle.

"So you think, we celebrities do not know how to love? Or we do not know the meaning of having a true family? Or you think, we are not human enough to fall in love at first sight with somebody? Just because I am a celebrity, i am not capable of love or being loved??!" He suddenly uttered, feeling a little hurt. He was himself surprised that the girl was already having such strong emotional impact on him. 

"Turn your back!" She ordered instantly and Kareem turned his back towards her, which had a few bleeding scars on the upper region, making the blood drops flow downwards to his lower back. "I never meant that. And I am sorry, if I hurt your feelings. All I meant was that, I want somebody with a peaceful and quiet life. You know, no complications, no paparazzi and no roaming around with body gaurds all the time. No life risks and no girls screaming around for attention." Sheryl started cleaning his back with a huge piece of cotton. Her fingers brushed his toned and muscular back, making the man crave more and more for her touch. 

"So will you say yes to me if I leave my career for you. Tell me once and I am ready to do it. Just say the word." He closed his eyes feeling her hands on his back, giving a tingling sensation to his entire spine. 

Sheryl stopped wiping the blood and looked at the back of his head. "Is this some kind of joke? Or are you practicing your script lines on me? Who says that to a person, you have just met! You are telling me that you will leave your entire hollywood career for me? Hah!! How silly!" The girl nodded her head in disapproval and let out a chuckle. 

Kareem sulked even more hearing the girl's chuckle. He did not say anything further and just sighed in desperation. 

Sheryl continued cleaning his back, not realising the seriouseness of his words. She bent forewards a little to reach the box for the medical tape when suddenly Kareem grabbed her wrist and pulled her down on the bed with a little force and held her waist immediately, making sure she does not fall down on bed, but on both his strong arms. His one arm was supporting her head and neck, while his other arm supported his back. 

Sheryl looked at the boy in surprise, because before she could realise, she was already hanging in the air in the boy's arms, very gently. Her face was just too close to his face and he was looking straight in her eyes, with utmost passion and determination. 

She could see the passion in his eyes, that she had never seen in anybody's else's eyes before. As if, she was the only one who mattered to him and he could do anything for her. 

For the first time she felt nostaligic, as if this touch was something she had felt before and had been missing from her life. These eyes, were now of different color, but the passion in them was just the same. He was a dangerous venom, who was only a gentle soul towards her!
