His Crode Clutches

Author's Pov

"Where were you?"

The manly figure walked further, asking her. Standing near the stairs, Rosa flinched, stopping on her track and her heartbeat increased.

Her fist tightened on her purse, turning her lips into a thin line.

"I asked something, Rosa!" his stern voice echoed in her ear.

Rosa flickered her lashes and turned around, looking at the person coming towards her, her cousin Brother, Kevin!

Her face turned more pale looking at his face through her shaking lens. The Man in front of her looked at the watch rolled on his wrist and then at her.

"It's so late. I heard you had a day off, then where were you?" He asked taking another step towards her as she stumbled back.

Looking around with her timid eyes in the search for a good excuse, she again looked a bit up, "I was in my friend's house." she replied. Her voice came out soft and gentle, too soft!

"Friend?" Kevin raised an eyebrow, walking closer to Rosa while she again stepped back not wanting to get close to him.

Rosa's back hit the stairs railing, preventing her from going back. She fluttered her lashes but did not dare to look up.

Kevin walked even closer and Rosa felt her heartbeat thumping in fear. He leaned down inciting her to lean back to make a distance.

"You sure?" He asked, leering his gaze on her face, causing her to feel scared. Rosa nodded her head in little, looking here and there except his face.

"You're looking so cute, Rosa." He praised which she didn't like and held the railing for support. "Why you dressed up all cute today?" he asked, slightly touching her hairs before combing them a little with his fingers but Rosa began to shiver at his touch.

Her breathings turned uneven, feeling suffocated at the closeness. His fingers moved at her cheeks, slightly brushing her soft skin that inciting her to feel uncomfortable.

Her eyes avoided him, trying to get away from his nasty touch which made him smirk. "So fvcking beautiful!" his words made her too uncomfortable.

Before he could touch her more, "B-brother-" Rosa gasped and moved his hands away from her cheek. She looked up at him with her timid stare, turning around and ran up the stairs while he watched her.

Kevin licked his lips, missing her adorable face. He gazed at her disappearing little figure, and smirked like an evil.

Rosa quickly opened the door of her room and closed it with loud thud. He's so bad! She breathed out in fear.

But then suddenly Killian popped in her mind, flashing her cheeks in tinty red. Rosa ran to her bed, plopping onto it, smilling cutely in his thoughts.

"Hehe!" her giggles muffled against the bedsheet. She looked aside at nothing, thinking about him, only Him!

She went to date with him! yey! Dream came true!

Rosa instantly palmed her eyes with a cute smile, her laughs came out without sound forgetting about what happened a while ago.

"I liked it." she whispered on her own, reminding the time she spent with him! It was so special for her.

"I can't forget how it felt." she again whispered with her softer voice and a small drop of tear rolled down from her eyes to blushing cheeks.

But she smiled again, sitting up and looking at the card in her hand. She looked at it curiously and all she saw was a number. A phone number?

'You should try on it.' she remembered what Killian said before giving her the card. What did he mean by that?

"Did he told me to call?" Rosa asked to herself but instantly shook her head.

"Why would he tell me to call him? um so dumb.." she mumbled cutely but again dipped into her thoughts.

Unknownly, her eyes become heavier and she don't know when she fell asleep, just thinking of him.

The Next Morning

Rosa moved the pen over the page, writing something with her small hands. Everyone in the classroom was busy with their friends, only she was alone.

Roaa swang her legs slowly slowly, humming a little when she felt a tap on her shoulder. with a little flinch, she looked up to see Aria smiling at her, taking her seat beside Rosa.

"How are you?" Aria asked, putting her bag down. "Me?" Rosa fluttered her eyes and Aria nodded.

"I'm fine, you?" Rosa asked with her low voice. "I'm also good. What are you writing?" Aria asked glancing at the page where Rosa was writing.

Rosa smiled which Aria found really cute and babyish. Rosa blinked her eyes "It's schedule of my work." Aria made an 'o' face listening her.

Suddenly the bell rang and right that time, everyone stood up witnessing the teacher entering inside.

Aria stood up immediately and Rosa also stood up slowly slowly but her heartbeat increased in an immense speed, seeing him. Scenes of last night flashed in her mind. She stared at him with her doe eyes.

"Mr. Salvatore looks so cold." Aria whispered near Rosa's ear but Rosa stared at him, thinking.

"Take your seats." Killian permitted and everyone took their seats. Rosa played with her pen, biting her lips.

"Students, submit your homeworks."

The pen in Rosa's hand slipped down. She looked ahead to see him, preparing his papers on the desk.

Everyone went to submit their homeworks except Rosa. She felt very nervous and sat there quietly. Aria sat after submitting her homework and glanced at her "Rosa?" Rosa startled and looked at her. "Where's your homework?" Aria asked her.

"M-my?" she looked here and there in nervousness. Aria understood the situation and put her hand on Rosa's shoulder.

"It was the homework of the day before yesterday. Yesterday Mr. Salvatore has showed us the exam papers so he couldn't ask for homework but-" Aria stopped witnessing the fear in Rosa's eyes.

Rosa sat there quietly, fidging with her fingers.

"Those who didn't complete their homework, stand up!" Killian announced causing Rosa to look around with nervousness. No one stood up, means everyone completed their homeworks.

Aria felt bad for her. She knows, the cold professor Killian will probably punish her.

Rosa looked ahead with her timid stare just to see him, gazing at her with his hands tugged into the pocket. Grasping her skirt tightly, Rosa slowly stood up, avoiding any eye contact.

"I expected this!"

Killian rasped from far, still sending goosebumps all over her body. Rosa looked down in embarrassment, flickering her eyes. The sounds of boot echoed in the silent classroom indicating his movements.

------

Poor Rosa was standing outside the class from the last half hour. She stared at the empty corridor. She was the only one to get punished. She has nothing to do except looking everywhere. Yes! She was punished for not completing her homework.

She pouted.

'He's so meanie!'

A group of four boy walked through the corridor, but one of them's eyes caught the beautiful side, "Hey! Ivan, there she is." another boy gestured, pointing at the little girl.

Ivan's eyes instantly rolled at the direction as soon as she heard 'she!'

"See, your blessing," his friend teased winking at him, pushing him further.

Ivan's lips stretched into a smile. He looked at his friends and they gestured for him to move further. He chuckled and walked near the little girl.

"Uh Rosa, how are you?" Ivan began nervously, earning the her attention. Rosa stared up through her beautiful eyes, fluttering his heart.

Rosa looked around to see his friends standing far away. His friends upon noticing her nervous gaze, itched their head before walking away like they were not looking at her.

Rosa moved her eyes away and focused on the boy in front of her. "H-how you know my name?"

Ivan gazed here and there finding an answer, "I know. I know you. I'm your senior. You're in first year, right?" she nodded slowly, avoiding eye contact.

"By the way, why are you standing here alone?" Rosa's heart saddened remembering how rudely Professor Killian told her to get out of his class.

Ivan waited for her reply but his eyes grew wide looking at the person by the door. He immediately bowed causing Rosa to look at the direction. And her eyesight blessed, watching him in front of the door of the classroom, right beside her.

Ivan stood straight and looked at Rosa, "Umm.. ok, I gotta go. See you next time."

Saying this, Ivan immediately left the place. Rosa's eyes soften looking at his chest, as it's her front view.

Killian's dark orbs gazed at his disappearing sight. Then he gazed down at Rosa, "Come with me."

This was all he said before walking away. Rosa stood there, understanding nothing, did he tell her to follow him? Rosa stared at his back. 'He's super tall.' she thought with her lips turning into an 'o' shape.

Unknowingly, Rosa stepped further to follow him. With her little feet, she walked behind him in order to obey him.

Rosa kept following him like a baby kitten, until she saw him skipping on his track, in front of the door of his office room. Rosa stood right on the spot, pulling up her gaze while her fingers grasped the skirt she was wearing.

"Inside!"

His dark voice vexed, rough and cold as if he wasn't in a good mood. Rosa roamed her eyes around him, thinking why he again called her?

Isn't her punishment over?

'but if she doesn't listen to him, he'll scold her.' she shook off her thoughts, staring down and forced herself to step inside.

After entering inside, she stared around. 'so neat and clean.' A fresh smell of scent filled her nostrils. Rosa blinked her eyes but the feeling inside was making her nervous.

Her fingers tightly grasped the skirt fabric, looking at the desk in front of her.

-bumb bumb!-

Her heartbeat loudly thumped inside her chest. The sound of her breathing was the only noise to be heard in the office. But the fresh oxygen stuck in her throat, hearing the clicking sound of the door and the 'tick-tack' sound of boot raised from back slowly slowly as if the devil was approaching her.

'Did-did he lock the door?' Rosa's breathing fastened at the thought.

The powerful scent of cologne spread around the surrounding while her eyebrows crashed together, inhaling the oxygen, and lips trembled with pure anxiety.

"So this is what you planned to do?!"
