Will Die In Love

Chapter 26

' What is taking her so long?' Loosening his tie, Adi rested his back on the seat. After some more minutes, he was about to get out of the car when he saw her coming out with her friends. Suddenly he became alert. Sitting straight he kept his gaze fixed on her.

She was wearing a red top paired with blue jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt unzipped in the front. Her hair was put in a pony cascading down from her shoulder hiding her bosom perfectly enough to leave a man relying on his guessing power. 

He saw her biting her lips to stop her laugh as one of her friends said something. God those lips! How alluring it will look when they will be wrapped around his……Damn his mind!  Adi took a sharp breath. His heart lurched in excitement.

He hadn't approached her for the last few days as he was keeping eyes on her secretly. She didn't even have the slightest idea of this and he made sure to always maintain a safe distance between them. 

Adi suddenly saw her stop talking with her friends and look around. After a moment she again focused on her friends. So she must have felt his presence even though she couldn't see him. He felt satisfied. He wasn't the only one to feel the connection. She could feel it too. 

He noticed how her expression was changing with every single little thing her friend was saying, that he had no idea about. Especially her eyes! So beautiful. So damn innocent. He wanted to look into them when he filled her for the first time. A sly smirk plastered on his lips.

" Ok guys, I am taking my leave now. See you all."  Paro waved at her friends.

" Are you sure you don't want to go?" Ishita asked her again to confirm.

" Yeah.. I am. I'll probably join you next time." Paro said smiling, hoping she would understand.

" Ok, sure! No problem. See you tomorrow." Assuring her Ishita left with others.

Paro took a deep breath as she kept looking at their retreating figure. She still felt uncomfortable spending too much time with a lot of people, even with her friends. That made her anxious.

 She wasn't left with enough energy to take a bus. It would almost take her over 30 minutes to reach home. God knew what her aunt was thinking when she said it was just a 10 minutes walking distance!  

While waiting for the cab Paro again felt as if someone was looking at her. Was she just being paranoid? Probably it's her anxiety. After that night it was getting worse again. Ohh! how much she despised him!  Her forehead was covered with a sheen of sweat even in the winter. She tried to mop it away with the sleeve of her sweatshirt.

To her luck soon the cab approached her and she hurriedly took the passenger seat after confirming OTP. 

Adi started following the cab maintaining a distance no one would suspect him, especially her. He deliberately took another car not to take any risk. He had always noticed how she always went home after her class. 

' Such a good girl !'  He thought in his mind.

Hearing the ringing of his phone soon he had to divert his focus. He connected the call with his AirPods.

" Hello sir! There is an emergency. The ZP company immediately wants to have a meeting with you, within 1 hour". His PA muttered unsure of his boss's reaction.

Even though he behaved well with the staff, all were well aware of his mood swings and anger issues. He always made sure to never cross the boundary as he was the future CEO of their company.

" What! Now? What do they think of me? Some unemployed idiot who is dying to tie up with their company? Without any prior appointment, how can they just say it? I don't want to have any dealings with such unprofessional." Adi shouted at him with anger. 

He had already expected it. If he agreed at first, that would have been a surprise for him.

" You are right sir. But they said they are looking forward to this. They even expressed their regret for demanding such absurd things. But they requested you to consider it for once. This is also an online meeting. So …" His PA said, careful not to make him angrier.

Adi clenched his jaw in frustration. As much as he wanted to hate it his PA was right. The deal is important for their company. Cracking two big deals within one month will help their business to expand in no time. Now that he has already decided he will take their company to the top in the country he will. He gets what he wants.

" Ok. I will be there within 30 minutes." Adi cut the call and looked forward. They were almost near their home. Taking one last look at the cab he took a different route to reach his office.

………

Standing near her door Adi was fighting with his mind whether to ring the doorbell or not. It's already 10 pm. After their brainstorming meeting session, he wanted to go to his apartment and call the day off. But the urge to see her for once was much stronger than his tiredness. Hoping She wouldn't fall asleep he drove his car and the next thing he knew he was standing there.

 He had already seen the ray of light peeping through the curtain of the window. So she must have been awake. Adi decided he would leave after teasing her a little bit and probably filling his nostrils with her alluring scent. That would be enough to calm his mind down. 

He was about to ring the bell but suddenly decided to push the door lightly without thinking much. To his surprise, it opened slightly. 

' What the heck? She didn't even lock her room. How irresponsible can she be? Did she think it was her own house or something?' He was irritated by her level of stupidity. 

Adi pushed the door slightly to give her a piece of mind about her responsibility and shut it again after entering inside. Crossing the living room he tried to enter her bedroom but stopped midway when he saw her sleeping in the bed. 

Suddenly whatever was going on in his mind was put to rest by seeing the dainty figure lying in the middle of the bed. Giving her a piece of mind? How can he even argue with a creature like this? Defying yet innocent, contradicting yet clinging, Fiery yet Kind… full of all delicious opposites?

Pushing behind the reasonable voice in his mind that was telling him to take a leave, Adi steps forward, until he was standing in the middle of the room.
