CHAPTER 21

Gina woke up to find Ojas watching her. My husband! ‘Hey.’ Her mouth softened with the beginning of a sleepy smile. A thrill shot in her every time she saw her handsome husband. Her eye moved from his brow to his cheeks. Gina blinked. ‘What is. . .? She pointed at the zigzag dark brown scar running down the side of his cheek. ‘Ojas!’ Alarmed, she tried to sit up. Two strange things happened together. Her bed broke in the middle and she fell to the cold wet ground and something gave her a stinging smack in the face. Her purse. Why am I sleeping with a purse was Gina’s thought even as her butt stung from the fall. ‘Oww!’ Her moan was low but audible. She stretched out her hand to Ojas who kept watching her, his eyed hooded. Why isn’t he helping me? Gina looked around and she saw where she was—on the porch of someone’s house—and her bed were two hard, prickly cane chairs. Her eyes fell on the bracelets jangling on her wrist and her dreamy state of sleep fell away. Gina covered her face, pulling in a few deep breaths. Gawd! How could I smile at Satan? When will my past stop sneaking up on me?

‘Do you plan to ever get up from the floor or have you decided to marry it next?’ Ojas spoke from above her head. Like cytoplasm fills a cell, sarcasm filled his voice.

‘Shut up!’ Gina attempted to sit up but a sharp pain shot though her neck and shoulder blades. Her butt was still smarting. Looking up, Gina caught the smug smile on Ojas’s face.

‘You are trespassing.’ Ojas looked down at her.

Bastard didn’t even offer me his hand. ‘Just the sign the paper and I will leave.’ Avoiding the urge to rub her backside, Gina got to her feet.

‘What paper?’

Gina tried to raise her brow but a yawn caught her by surprise. She had been up most of the night; strange place and stranger sounds. She hurriedly covered her mouth.

‘You still yawn like a kitten.’

Gina became still. Ojas just had uttered something he used to say to her in happier times, times when even her yawns earned her endearments and kisses from him. Past is an equal opportunity offender. It was Gina’s turn to brandish a smug smile.

Ojas cleared his throat and the tips of his ears turned red. His stupidly spoken words had transported him to a time when Gina was his oxygen. He squashed those memories. ‘Was the paper white with a pink stamp?’

‘Yes!’ Gina snapped flexing her shoulders, as the pain now seemed to have progressed from her shoulders to the back of her head. “Was?’ She frowned. The thought kick started some butterflies in her stomach and her fingers dived for the bracelets.

‘That paper?’ Ojas pointed with his finger.

Gina turned to where Ojas was pointing.

Her hand flew to her chest. ‘Shit! Shit!’ Gina dropped her purse and ran to the paper floating in the puddle of water a few feet from the chairs.
