SS : Love Have Has It's Own Way Part 8

Part 8





Night has fallen and Priya hasn't returned to this point Ram had to worry she's been out since morning and no sign of her he curses under his breath for that dumb rule of no electronics on the island otherwise he would have called her he goes out with a flashlight  he had found in the kitchen drawers and goes out



Priya



She takes in deep breaths to make the pain away so walking down a steep hill made of dirt and full of roots is a bad idea to that a root tripped her making her fall down the hill and sprain her ankle



She had taken refuge in the mouth of a cave that she had discovered a couple years back reason why it was so steep she had a feeling that if Ram were to go find her that she would be found a little more easily if she were in sight so the cave was the first to come to mind



Hours have gone by the sun is gone and it has gotten dark Priyar had mostly been daydreaming to keep her mind off the pain she moves every once in a while only to upset her ankle more from moving



He calls out her name for what felt like forever where the hell did she go off to? he had found himself in the forest just behind the house the thought that she might have gone through the trees came to mind since he remembered not seeing her during the run or her passing the house he had already gone around the island the forest area was the last place he looked



Priya he calls some more he found the trail that leads into the forest Priya must have gone in there more than once before when she was stuck here alone there were ferns plants outside the trail dry from the lack of rain that the trees have been covering Ram tries listening for any movement hearing only silence



Where the hell is she? has she gone off trace? he hopes not he follows the trace



Priya . . .she remembers him whispering in his sleep she combs her fingers through her hair thinking of what she heard



She sighs and closes her eyes only to see Ram behind her eyelids dammit she hugs her knees enduring her throbbing pain and rests her chin on her knees he's been on her mind a lot lately and she's getting pretty uncomfortable about it



A gentle drop of rain touches her cheek forcing her to open her eyes and look out the mouth of the cave It's started to sprinkle she looks back to the cave walls and lays her head back



Priya



Priya looks out the mouth of the cave when she heard Ram's voice Ram?



He finds himself at a steep hill he heard her voice he follows the trace from what looks like Priya made with one foot did she injure herself? around the corner he saw the mouth of the cave he walks closer and sees Priya



The hell you've been here the whole time? he asks as he gets closer to her



Priya gave him side smile and looks to her ankle kind of had a bit of an accident during my run It's bad to move when having a sprained ankle



Ram sighs and shakes his head and takes her hand pulling her up onto her good foot jump on we should get that wrapped up he says



Priya sighs she hated getting help from others especially when she needed it she gingerly puts her arms around his neck and jumps onto his back



He notices that she made a face to getting on his back and was a little irritated by that he's tired and wanted to get back to rest when she jumped on his back he puts his arms around her legs for a better hold as he points the flashlight towards the trace finding a good  trace that wouldn't risk dropping Priya



They kept to themselves no words were exchanged as he walked them back to the house



She had dropped herself on her bed and tells Ram that the first aid kit should be under the sink in the bathroom she takes her shoes off being extra gentle with her bad foot since touching it was pretty bad Ram comes back with a roll of elastic wrap and a pack of ice for her ankle



Thanks . . .she says quietly as he put the ice on her ankle Priya curses under her breath in reaction to the pain and thanks for coming to get me



No problem our parents would be pissed if one of us went missing anyways Ram answers finishing wrapping her ankle and pinning a safety pin



Yes . . . they would



Morning After



Since Priya had sprained her ankle she was forced not to move around as much that she felt was against her nature she had accidentally used her foot the day after when she woke up to go take a shower she ended up falling to her knees cursing loudly which woke up Ram



Help me to the bathroom? Priya asks sheepishly as she looks up to Ram when he came into the room witnessing her vulnerable side



You tried to walk? Ram crosses his arms with a smirk on his face



Shut up . . . I forgot Priya mumbles help me up? she asks again



Ram picks her up by her waist and starts to the bedtroom Priya was short to put her arm over Ram's shoulder since he was a lot taller than her giving her the only option to hold onto his waist as well as she hops into the bathroom



Priya reaches for the bathroom sink and starts the bathtub Ram looks to her before she turns around and stares at him what?



Get out she responds quickly I'm not going to strip in front of you



You and I are engaged anyways It's not like I'm never going to see you like this after we marry besides I already saw you two days ago and it makes up for you walking in on me when I was in a towel he says smugly with a smirk



Priya blushes in embarrassment of Ram's thought and out of anger before she takes face watch bottle and throws at him get the hell out you pervert she yells



Ram dodges before he goes out and closes the door Priya locks the door immediately he laughs at her reaction



Priya's face was still bright red from what Ram had said he still remembers her when she was changing her cloth and Ram was saw her



Ram goes to the kitchen to get something to eat they had just gotten to the island two days ago and he was already bored Priya wasn't kidding when she said there was nothing to do besides his search for Priya nothing else has happened



He couldn't bring himself to tell Priya about her poem he knew that if he told her she'd react badly to going through her things he'll have to keep his thoughts a secret from her



Ram goes out for a morning run around the island a couple times before going back to the house and catches Priya trying to cook something for herself



Get back to bed you're not supposed to be out Ram says in an annoyed tone



Dude I'm starving and you've been out Priya fights



Ram gives her a look and picks her up before tossing her onto her bed again you're suppose to rest staying still for two weeks shouldn't be hard for you Priya glares at him as he walks out of her room and into the bedstroom for his bath



After he was done he goes straight to his room and gets into some clean clothes he hears Priya hopping out of her room again Ram rolls his eyes and walks out seeing Priya trying to get to the kitchen again



I thought I told you to rest he says without much effort picks her up and puts her on the couch then goes to the kitchen



You could be more gentle putting me down you know she huffs



You're being stubborn I can't really put someone down gently when they keep going against orders he says getting glasses and plates out



So you're ordering me around . . . you're not the boss of me Priya replies taking a cushion and putting it under her ankle



Ram sighs in an aggravated tone she's in a fighting mood again been a while since they last fought I'm doing so only because you know for a fact you shouldn't move around and here you go trying to do things you know you shouldn't be doing



Well excuse me Ram almighty she rolls her eyes they're fighting again . . . and fights like this makes her wonder if she does really like him or not



Will you cut it out Ram yells Priya looks to him in surprise of his sudden height in volume you've been a real pain to me too you know no need to being any more annoying than you're already making yourself out to be



Priya gives him a good glare before she tries to pick herself up off the couch



Ram goes over to her and pushes her down by her shoulder to keep her in place just stop already



Priya slaps his hand off of her don't touch me she growls



Why do you have to be so stubborn? he asks



Why do you always say something that grinds my gears? she starts yelling



Excuse me for being insensitive to your lack of positive emotions he rolls his eyes dammit . . . now he did it



Priya stares at him bewilderedly before pushing him away roughly that's not what I wanted to say



Yes it was . . . she says to him feeling really hurt she moves away and tries to get off the couch



Priya wait for a moment he stops her by grabbing his shoulder only to get a hard slap across the face he looks to Priya seeing she's as bewildered as he was that she had slapped him but she looked really hurt too Hurt that he had hurt her feelings or that she had struck him



Ram only stares at her maybe he was wrong maybe he interpreted wrong about her feelings he moves away from her and slams the door behind him outside



Priya cringed when he slammed the door shut before resting her face in her palms this time it went too far









She screwed up this time Priya and Ram haven't say a word to each other after their fight when Priya did see him for more than ten seconds she noticed his cheek was a little dark where she had slapped him



Did she slap him so hard that she made a bruise? It did explain why her palm stung a little for a long moment



She was actually shocked she had slapped him so hard he was most likely pissed that she had hit him that and the fact that it was showing



For about a week or so they didn't acknowledge each other's presence Priya with her sprained ankle still needed help with whatever she needed to do



Ram would help her into the bedroom even though he didn't want to touch her at all and Priya felt uncomfortable even being touched



They both realize that the other is playing they haven't spoken to each other because they knew that one of them made the first move that person loses the game



They both didn't want to be the first to apologize no wonder they haven't said anything for a long time



By the end of the week Ram was getting irritated she started anyways why hasn't she said she's sorry yet? She wasn't listening to him and pushed him into saying something he didn't want to say but when he did try to apologize she ended up making it worst



So technically the fault is mostly on her yes he made the mistake of what he said but she pushed them off the edge



Ram plays with his guitar on the couch while Priya reads a book next to him he had moved her into the living room while their ham was baking in the oven he noticed that her good foot was tapping to each beat that went with the notes he was playing her foot seemed livelier than her



Priya sighs you're pretty good  she comments before turning the page



Ram nods to her and goes back to his music Priya bites her lip and turns to him he looks back to her

What?



I'm sorry . . . okay? she sighs he could tell she hated apologizing to him she knew what she did was wrong but he started it first but she knew he wouldn't give up on not saying sorry since he's as stubborn as she is



I shouldn't have slapped you . . . that was really uncool of me



It hurt like hell . . .he interrupts her and points at his bruised cheek



She made a face yes . . . like I said I'm sorry better a bruise than a broken nose she shrugs and saying it as if it's a question



He grimly stares at her obviously she was trying to make him laugh It was cute and funny the first time it won't work a second time he sighs well she did apologize and admitted she was wrong



Fine . . . I accept your apology I'm still mad at you though



Priya smiles with a satisfied smirk and gets back to her book that's fine with me you're still not one of my most favorite people to be around either she says



Ram grimly stares at her for her comment and goes to the kitchen to get their lunch out of the oven
