Flashbacks -2

I took my bag and went my way not before spitting over their faces . Due to adrenaline rush I didn't realize that my leg was badly burised .

I came in the theatre running , I was already 30 minutes late so after practicing some moves I began to get ready . I did my make up , some simple ones I preferred , well my complexion was light and my lips were naturally red so a little bit of lipgloss or a light lipstick did wonders , and unlike other girls of my age my body was very much curvy , even that simple red gown looked utterly alluring on me . My hairs were long and reached my waist so I tied them in a loose ponytail with some small strands left loose in front . When I was done with my makeup and stuff , the pain shot me when I was wearing my shoes , and to my surprise that place where I got hit was swollen and burised all in black and blue .

Today's show was going to be challenging , as it was getting difficult minute by minute to move my leg freely so I applied the ice pack for the few minutes left before the show starts . I was not so expressive person and also I didn't want to worry my manager and the crew so I waited patiently for my appearance on stage .

Time went by and I ended the performance gracefully without making a scene , people clapped and cheered but with each passing second the pain got worse , by god's grace I performed well may be not my best but I think people liked it and that was satisfying , after couple of Thanksgiving and taking I wobbled to the dressing room by taking the support of the wall along side .

God this hurts so bad , please spare me tonight from another antics you planed for me . Cuz I swear I won't be able to tackle anymore pain !

The shoes and the red gown which I was wearing was as heavy as myself . This made it very difficult to walk , still I wobbled weaseling my way to the dressing room when someone as long as a pine tree and running like an enraged bull came crashing down on me . I gasped by the collusion and was expecting to fall down hard on my butt .

God I begged you already , man for once let me live peacefully !

Brace yourself siren you gonna have a butt pain for a weeks if this bull fell on you .

I groaned in pain when my whole weight got on my burised leg and by the fact that I'll fall down any second but strong arms caught me before I could hit the cold hard ground . He was holding me in place steadying me . After a few heartbeats when i didn't felt the pain by the impact of falling down , I peeked from behind my eyelashes . I was in a man's arms ! I opened my eyes and found my self in a very intimate position where one of his hand was around my lower waist and upper hips and the other holding me from behind , his fingers touching the lower part of my breast from the sideways .

My eyes hovered over his face . His face which was half visible and covered with a black coloured mask was very handsome actually . This theatre was huge and was famous for a venue of masquerade parties , may be he was coming form there , dressed in a formal black tuxedo , hairs combed back in a very gorgeous way where some strands hovered over his forehead sexily , simple yet handsome as hell .

His full lips , as pink as rose . Plump and beautiful , were inches away from my bare neck heaving heavily , I guess may be from the running . The dress I was wearing had a deep neckline . not by my choice though , since the outfit was chosen by the team so the upper parts of my breast was visible and he had a clear-near view of it . His eyes traveled from my face and lingered on my visible bare chest . For a couple of heartbeats we were like that , may be checking out each other but then my modesty kicked in and I flushed , standing up abruptly but winced when my already burised leg twisted , and before I could fall again he took hold of my shoulder may be he too presumed that I twisted my leg . I let my self drop to the ground slowly with the wall and thanks to his support .

He saw my leg which were bare since my dress had a high half-moon shape cut from the front , his eyes again lingering more on my bare legs for a couple of heartbeats but then he met my burise . His eyes were beautiful ocean hue , blue eyes , there were many emotions in there all caged in those blue eyes , but the one most dominant was anger and bloodlust yet his demeanour was calm and composed . I don't know how he managed both simultaneously and that too so well around him .

" I think you are hurt badly , lets go to doctor . " He said when he saw the burise , eyes filled with concern and gentleness but I knew better whether to trust people or not , so I refused politely .

" No . Thanks though , it's not that serious I can manage , also my teacher will be here any minute now . I don't want to worry him by going missing " I said politely and as calmly as I could trying to mask the pain . But I think he saw through my facade and said

" I'm sorry but I have to do this "

With that he hoisted me up in his arms and began walking . I knew if I didn't take his help I would never reach the dressing room in a few years so kept quiet just telling him the directions and soon we got into the dressing room , he settled me on one of the couch and brought an ice pack kept on the nearby table handing out to me .

" Do you know where's the first aid kit kept ?" He asked in his husky , calm and composed voice and till now I can't see any ill intensions to make me attack him with my shoe so I told him where it's kept

" Yes , in that drawer in the top left corner "

He brought the first aid and applied some oinmets he tried bandaging it but failed since the bandage was too tight so he opened it again , again tried but this time it was too loose , but the third time was cleanly done . After doing it he stood up saying

" All done " he smiled , I didn't saw his lips smiling but his eyes showed he was very satisfied with his work . And with that he went towards the door .

" Thankyou , what's your name by the way ? I'll treat you dinner as token of thanks " I said as I can't really move so I said it sitting there . He turned and with a one brief glance towards me from top to bottom he said

" We will meet again coniglietto "

And went away .

" Hey what does that mean ? "

" Is that your name ? "

" Hey "

But by the time I reached the door he was no where to be found so I came back in . I went to the bathroom to change into my tracks and hoodie but when I was removing the cloth something fell on the floor with a cluck sound at first I thought I must have dropped a coin but then I realised that dresses doesn't have pockets .

Really ? I'm a real slow idiot !

I searched the floor and found its a platinum locket of Gothic style , where two cobras twisted them selves over a shiny beautiful cream coloured round pearl , more like guarding it . I didn't know that guy and this thing seemed very expensive so I picked that up and stuffed in my hoodies pocket so if I meet him again I could return .

I think during the collision his locket must have entangled with my dress's stone work and remained stuck . He said we will meet again , so I can return it the and may be I can ask him out then hehe .

After a couple of minutes my manager-teacher came in he saw my injury and gave me an earful , took me to the hospital .

" Hey , hello ! Can you hear me , madam " an old lady was saying actually shouting in my ears and waving her hand in front of my face I realised I was standing here and ogling that dress like a mad women in the middle of the road , I got over my trance and hurriedly said .

" Apologies , I'm just a passer by madam "

The old lady smiled saying

" I thought you were mute and dumb ! , anyway are you looking for some dresses ? I tell you this dress is very beautiful and especially made for a tap dancers but it can be worn in parties too ..... "

She went on saying it's specialities then at the end said

" ... We organise small plays and premieres too but unfortunately the lead girl left due to pregnancy now we don't know how to do it , by the way I saw you somewhere but can't remember it " she went on guessing

This made me smile , the old lady was very talkative but friendly too so I told her that I was a tap dancer , while doing my performance I used the name swan and so she recognised me by that name . She insisted me to get inside her house and have a cup of tea , we talked a lot over every ridiculous topic then she requested me that I should do this premiere . I was really happy that something will be same as before so I agreed to her , to be back on tap dancing since I left that country , and as a token of appreciation she gave me that dress even after I denied at first to take it , what can I say else , she is indeed a stubborn and kind lady and that dress was too beautiful to say no the next time heheh .
