Not A Simple Engineer Boy!

Eighty Nine: Sweet Rage (Part 2)

"What!?", Xavier narrowed his eyes at her when she closed the door of his fancy car harder than he would have approved of, "Krithika, I love my cars more than my life, be gentle with them."

I'll break each window of this fucking car and then drench it with a few liters of petrol to light it up to hell.

She plotted a childish scheme in her head. It sounded way more tempting than she would have loved to admit. Her imagination worked wonders in two cases- the first when she wanted to destroy someone, and- the second when she thought about a very naked Xavier with her.

"Men.", she murmured to herself at his statement on 'love' for a lifeless object. What was this whole obsession of men with cars, bikes, and any gadgets? Even her brother was crazy about different smart watches and earphones. She never understood the craze, it was beyond her realm of practical thinking.

She felt his eyes on her but neither of them opened their mouth. Wait, why wasn't he talking? She was vexed, what was with him? Didn't he notice her seething form? Why wasn't he trying to ask her about what she wanted to talk about and comfort her?

Argh!

"Let's go to your home, we can talk there.", she announced.

"Okay.", was all his cold reply.

Okay? Okay!? Nothing like- What happened darling, tell me now?

She wanted to look at his face to bark her question at him. But she kept her calm, she wasn't an uncultured swine. Fisting her hands tightly she started to count the highway lights that passed across as they traveled in absolute silence.

1...2...3...is that a new advertisement billboard of The Legend Saravana Stores?

"Ma'am knows about us?"

As soon as they entered his house, she screeched her question in extreme annoyance.

Xavier didn't mind. Rather, he removed his suit coat to reveal his delicious body wrapped in a fit white shirt. Why did he look so good every time? Stretching his back, he glanced at her over his shoulder before striding towards the living area. She observed that he looked tired and tensed, both at the same time. Was it wise to argue? Why wasn't he opening his mouth at all?

"I asked you something.", she snarled, sprinting forward, hurrying to match his pace.

He turned around and crossed his arms over his chest, "What does that guy want from you?", his deep voice made her body tingle. Was it anger or lust? She didn't know.

It was so far away from her question that she stopped dead in her tracks and frowned, "What?"

"That gujju boy."

That was the final straw of the patience that she had dearly held from that early evening to avoid any fight with him. Unfortunately, he made sure to break it, "You got to have some guts to be jealous!", she almost screamed, "He is not a gujju boy, his name is Rathna, and we both are friends. Now, should I tell you about all the individuals from the male community I talk to? Well, the list starts from the trash picking Anna in the morning and it ends with you."

"I am not an insecure dickhead to be jealous of any Tom Dick and Harry.", his voice raised to higher octaves, "I saw you were fucking worried while talking to him."

Something flashed in his eyes, a flare of dark red fury that she had never seen before, not even as the boss. It scared her and she cowered, "Sorry.", she muttered lowering her eyes.

"Look at me when I talk to you.", he thundered.

She whimpered.

Wasn't she supposed to be pissed at him? How did the roles reversed to the point where she had oh so royally fucked it up and angered him?

"Krithika, look at me.", his voice had suddenly traveled from the burning hot volcanoes in Indonesia to the spring of tulip fields in the Netherlands, "Sweetheart, are you...did I scare you?"

Retreating she looked at him and everything was blurry. She blinked her eyes to realize that the tears had flown out of her eyes involuntarily. She had freaking cried because Xavier had raised his voice at her, for the first fucking time ever.

Great!

If I had been Krithika, I would have slapped him. Oh, wait that's how Satya would have reacted XD

Bitching about my story characters is so much fun.
