One Shots Collection By Samayra Akhtar

"Max!! Ed!!"

"Where are you?"

"Can you here me?"

"Sarah?!!"

Jasmine is calling out for her friends. She can't see them. All she can see is darkness. The trees are rumbling and the sound is scaring her. She isn't able to find her friends.

When no one answers her. She gets scared. She starts mumbling.

"Guys please answer me... I am scared. It's freaking dark here."

"Ed??!!?"

"Max!!?"

"Sarah...."

She starts crying. She hears some sound. Sweat start forming on her forehead. She stops in her pace. She takes her step back in fear. She bumps into someone.

And SCREAMS.

"Ahh!! Jasmine..." Ed covers his ear to avoid Jasmine's loud scream.

"It's me... Ed!"

She opens her eyes to see Ed and hugs him immediately.

She is trembling in fear.

"Calm down baby.... I am-"

She push him a little and ask him, "Where were you? Why you left me? Where are Max and Sarah?"

Ed gives her a confused look.

"YOU left us!! Do you know how worried I was! I was scared to death."

"I left...??? I was sleeping... when I woke up.. you all were gone.."

"Sleeping? Where?"

"A...."

She thinks but couldn't remember anything. She just remember that she was alone in this freaking forest at the darkest hour.

"What happened?" Ed asked her.

"I can't remember..."

"Come here" He hugs her. "You are just scared."

After sometime being in his embrace, she calms down.

"Where is Max?"

"Oohh missing your boyfriend?"

"Ed...."

"Okay.. sorry sorry. He left with Sarah. I came back to find you."

"Left? Where?"

"To the place... where we intend to go."

"I don't wanna go there... Take me home... This place is..."

"Calm down... they said they'll be moving slowly so that we can catch them up."

She is too afraid to move further.

He holds her hand. She tries to take her hand away from his. He tightens his grip.

"Don't be stubborn. Just hold my hand, so that we don't separate again. Please."

They started walking in the direction that Max and Sarah told Ed. He keeps on checking her every now and then.

"Don't look at me again and again. It's uncomfortable."

"Oohh... uncomfortable? What about my arms? Where you uncomfortable in my arms too? When you hugged me back then?"

"Sorry."

"No. I liked it. I mean...."

"How come you came to find me?"

"Why? Are you disappointed? Do you want your boyfriend here?"

"No. Ah.. I mean how did your fiancée send you to find me? She always cling on to you."

"Are you jealous?"

"No."

"You can say if you are jealous."

"Ed!!"

"You love me... so why did you get a boyfriend for yourself?"

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Why are you having a fiancée when you loved me?"

"I still love you. I told you to wait a little..."

"Wait?!??! Wait till when? Till you get married or till you have children? Or..."

She couldn't finish her words because he is already kissing her hard.

She is trying to resist but.... couldn't. He was too forceful.

After kissing her for almost a minute he released her lips. He holds her face with his hands and tilt her head upward to look into her eyes.

"You don't have to wait anymore. I already arranged everything. If not for this trip, I would have broke my engagement by now and I would have been with you."

Tears start forming in her eyes.

"Don't cry baby. I love you. And I am yours."

He then takes her to an old mansion. A person in his late forties come to the gate to invite them.

"Welcome Sir and Madam. I am Allen, the butler."

They both went inside the mansion. The mansion may look old and in it's worst condition from outside but the interior is like a modern hotel.

Jasmine is surprised. "I thought the mansion would be old and broken."

"Sir, Madam your luggage is in your room. Let me take you to your room."

They followed the butler. They are escorted to the same room.

"Where is my room?" Jasmine asked the butler.

Butler looks at her with confusion.

"Can you please prepare something to eat for us?" Ed said to the butler.

"Yes Sir."

Ed takes Jasmine's hands and drag her in the room. Jasmine is confused.

"Why are we in the same room?"

"It seems Max and Sarah have not came yet. This property is only reserved for couples. So we have to live in the same room."

"Only for couples?"

"Yep. What happened?"

"Why your fiancée asked me to come along?"

"If you would have been here with your boyfriend... I mean alone in the same room... would you..."

"Stop Ed! I am going to wash up."

After washing up they comes downstairs to eat. It was in the night when they finished eating.

"Where are they? What if they have lost their way?" Jasmine asked Ed.

"We can only wait till morning. If they don't come we can go and search for them then."

They both went to their room. The room is dimly lit with lavender fragrance in the air. The room gave a perfect romantic aura.

Jasmine is lying on the bed, she is probably too tired.

Ed moves closer to her on the bed.

"Jasmi..."

She suddenly hugged him. "I am scared."

"Scared or trying to seduce me?" He said with a grin.

She tries to push him but couldn't. He is embracing her tightly.

"Leave me... Ed... leave me...Ed! Ed..."

He finally releases her. She sits up on the bed and Ed followed her.

They both are sitting silently looking at each other. He looks at her eyes and then his gaze gets fixed on her lips before moving down her body.

"Jasmine... I want you." Ed said and without giving her time to react he starts kissing her. After kissing passionately, he stopped to take a breath.

"Jasmine... I really want you..."

"Me too."

The couple then spend their night m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e until she got exhausted. The couple just hugged each other and slept in each other's arms.

•••

"Max... We haven't lost, right?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"We are walking for so long... we should have reached the mansion by now."

"It means... we are lost? I shouldn't have come with you!"

"It was your plan to come here!"

"Shut up! And take me out of this forest!"

"Stop screaming Sarah!"

"Take me out! Right Now! I don't wanna stay here!"

"As if I want to."

They both were lost in the forest.

•••

In the mansion the couple woke up when the sun was high in the sky. It was already noon.

Ed said, "We should check out and search for them. I guess they are not here yet."

Jasmine got worried.

"Are you worrying for your boyfriend?" He teased her.

She replied "Yep. I am worrying for my boyfriend.." and then raised her hand to show a ring on her finger "who gave me this ring yesterday."

His frowned face turned into a cheerful smily face.

"Why are you worried for your boyfriend?"

"Because his fiancée is missing and he is responsible for her."

"Why am I responsible for her? I am only responsible for you."

"Shouldn't we go and search for them?"

"No. Your safety is my first priority. You already got lost at night. Let me take you home first."

He dropped her home. The sun was almost ready to set down when they reached.

He then went to his house. His parents didn't expect him to return.

"Why are you back so soon?" His dad asked him.

"Sarah went missing."

"What?" Both of his parents reacted together in a shock.

His father got angry. "How can she go missing? What kind of a man are you? Your fiancée went missing from your side and you couldn't find her?"

"Calm down honey!" His mother tried to calm down her husband. "Let's think about finding her first."

She then asked her son, "Tell me, my child what happened?"

"She said to take a nap as she was tired. She wasn't there when I opened my eyes."

"Did you looked for her?" His father asked.

"No. I guess she went by her own. She might have woke me up if she wanted something or to go. She didn't. And also it is not like she was forced.-"

"What are you talking, you brat?" His father burst out again.

"Stop it now honey. Finding her should be our priority." Mother said and left with father.

Ed was standing there and an evil smile escaped his lips.

•••

At night he is sleeping next to Jasmine. He kisses her forehead and said internally, "No one can hurt you. I'll protect you always. If anyone dares to hurt you, I'll make them pay."

He then wraps her in his arms and slept.
