"You didn't even care to listen to me, all you did was act impulsively! You didn't even care that I was your employee!"
"Ah, you still are." His four words completely diverted my attention.
"What? No! I quit, for your kind information. Having you, a barbaric jerk, as my boss? Well, no thank you." I tried freeing my hands from his but he didn't even budge, just stared into my eyes.
"Ironic, isn't it?" He asked as hints of amusement tainted his eyes and the edge of his lips curled up into a ghost of a smile.
"What?" I couldn't help but ponder what he was referring to.
"You didn't even want me as your boss but ended up becoming my wife. By the way, I'm still waiting for that resignation letter to reach my table." His breath hit my lips making me realize how close we had gotten. I could feel him above my dress, every part lined up against mine, my naked legs felt the feel of his suit on their length. He was wearing a different cologne today but I could still make out the smell of his regular soap and shampoo.
Unintentionally, my eyes raked through his features, from his molten chocolate eyes which had something dark hidden behind them, down the straight bridge of his nose and then to his dark mustache before finally settling on his perfect lips surrounded by his groomed facial hair. Had he reduced the distance between us subconsciously or was he this close right from the start?
"Shall I take a picture for you? They last longer." The curling of his lips into his annoying smirk with those taunting words had me snap back to look in his eyes.
"Oh I forgot, you don't need pictures since you had therealone," involuntarily my eyes squeezed shut when his mocking hit my ears. He had seen it, he had seen me openly drooling over him, more like under him and was evidently amused at my expense by delivering my very own words right back at me.
Blood immediately rushed into my cheeks, due to embarrassment or anger, I didn't know. My eyes flew open when I felt my hand released from his restraint and his presence over me disappeared. My legs had automatically dropped to the floor letting me stand when he took a few steps away from me.
What made him do that, I didn't have a clue until a giggle from the other end of the parking lot penetrated through my ears. With eyes wider than saucers, my head snapped in the direction to find Mr. and Mrs. Tekur standing by a car while Mrs. Tekur blushed and giggled profusely. The blush on my cheeks darkened when I realized what it had looked like from their perspective, especially when the skirt of my evening gown was still improper.
My hands started to straighten them down while the first sentence that escaped my lips in our defense was, "It isn't what it looks like!"
Mental facepalm... Stupid stupid Rynah! Can't keep your big mouth closed for a split second!
"Sorry for disturbing you two, we didn't know what was going on here. Remember to get a room next time, Mr. Raivardhan," Mr. Tekur saluted before getting into the car and Mrs. Tekur following suit.
"No, it's not-" Viaan's chuckle interrupted my sentence, "You just confirmed it to them by saying somethingthatpredictable."
My cheeks were burning red. I could pop some corn kernels on them. The honking made me turn to face a smirking Viaan who had taken his seat in the driver's side, making me go around the car to climb into the passenger's side. And the rest of the way, I pretended to sleep to avoid being teased by him just to end up actually falling asleep.
******
Rynah, Rynah.
The voice sounded familiar yet not very familiar.
Rynah, wake up.
Again the same voice came from the dark making me frown trying to focus.
Do you want me to let Vikrant wake you up instead?
"Vikrant?" My eyelids flew up in horror letting me stare into the familiar molten chocolates, setting the calmness into me. I haven't had any panic attacks lately. Maybe, I was getting used to these surroundings.
"Yeah, he's waiting outside. Something about dance practice," Viaan explained in his bed voice before rolling back on his side and pulling the duvet till his waist. I just kept looking at his back profile, still unable to take out two facts out of my head.
First being Vikrant waiting to torture me for straight two hours. And second, was that Viaan had a sexy bed voice.
Stupid Rynah, get your head out of the gutter!My inner voice scolded me.
Shaking my head clear of the thoughts, I quickly freshened up and rushed for my practice thinking about how I had ended up in the bed. Had Viaan brought me back to the room like he had done numerous times before?
*****
"497... 498... 499." And then I fell thump on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Get up and start again. You didn't reach the target," Vikrant ordered from the bench while flipping through whatever file he was holding.
