298 Begging for a kiss - 3

"How can staying away from me, be the best thing to do?", Akira asked all surprised.

Her eyes were fixated on him, asking for an explanation for the whole thing.

She wiped away her tears and then tugging on to his t-shirt she asked,

"You Mr. Raymond Walker, you better have an explanation for all this. Who told you that you could hide away from me like this? Who told you that you could ignore my existence in your life?"

"And... and why would you marry someone apart from me? Who was that girl with you at the airport? Have you fallen in love with her, because she is all tall and pretty?"

Taking a deep breath Raymond, held her hand tugging on to his t-shirt and with a soft pull, he made her grip to go for a release. He held her hands in his own and said,

"Give me two minutes, I will explain everything. Don't build up these stories in your head".

And saying that he got down from the bed and went towards the desk where he had a folder containing all his medical reports and prediction report.

He got them all and placed it in front of her on the bed.

"What is all this?"

"These are my medical reports".

She looked at the huge stack of papers inside that huge folder and somehow that scared the hell out of her.

Without even reading or looking at them, she looked at him and asked,

"Is there something wrong with you? I will kill myself right here right now Raymond if you answer it with a YES."

"Sssshhh.....", he came close and hugged her. Her head was resting on his waist and he continued to stroke her hair with his fingers and said,

"There is something that you should know about me".

"I don't like your tone, Ray. I don't wanna hear anything bad. Just stay like this with me. I don't want anything else from life. I got you just now, don't you dare push me away", saying that Akira clung onto him like a baby who didn't want to be separated away.

"I had told you to be careful. I told you to come back as soon as possible. You had promised me that you will come back. Why didn't you? Why did you go into the water? Was the game so important that you risked your life for it?"

"Our signals were jammed Akira and I needed that final snatch".

"But you slipped because of that. Do you even know how much I hated that game of yours because of all this? If you wouldn't have gone for the tournament, all this wouldn't have happened".

Raymond stayed silent for a while and then pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ears he said,

"I didn't slip".

"What?"

"I said, I didn't slip and fall".

"Then how did you fell down? Mike told me that you slipped when you were handing your laptop to the Spock."

"The Spock had kicked my leg under the water and I stumbled and fell down".

Looking at him in disbelief at this sudden revelation she asked,

"Why would he do such a thing?"

"Because he was trying to protect me".

"Protect you !!! By pushing you off the waterfall? From the edge of a dead drop?"

"Yes, you heard it right".

"Serves him right then. I heard he also slipped and fell down. Instant Karma".

"No Akira, he didn't slip, he jumped after me as he was a professional deep diver and swimming coach. He jumped into the waters to save me."

"Save you? How? And from Whom?"
