My loveless marriage

Part 63

"Are you ok?" Abhi asked, and I looked up, to his handsome face. He looked concerned, though the corners of his lips were tugging to a smirk.

I pouted, to which he chuckled.

"Did the kiss shatter your brain?" he asked in an amused tone. I bit my lip and nodded my head in a yes, and feeling rather stupid, shook my head, to which he chuckled again.

"You're so cute!" he chuckled, moving forward to place his lips on mine again.

This time, I held onto the lapel of his suit as he tried to move away from my lips, and sucked on his lips, feeling like his lips were a drug that I was addicted to. I couldn't get enough of his lips, his sweet taste, and whimpered as he finally let go off of me.

"I love you" he murmured, his lips hovering over mine, his eyes boring into mine.

Blood rose to my cheeks and I looked down to his lips - they looked red and raw - the result of my attack on them!

Just then, my phone beeped, making me jump.

Clearing my throat, I reached for my phone which was on the dashboard, to find a message.

'I want to meet you. Come to my office now.'

It was from dadaji. I frowned - why did he want to meet me today?! He didn't get another message from Anand?! 

I bit my lip and looked at my phone screen - it had to be a message from Anand!! Not another bloody message!! I gulped.

"Kya hua?" Abhi asked, and I looked up. He was sitting back on his seat, looking intently at me.

"I... dadaji's message... he wants to meet me" I said, looking at him. Abhi looked at me intently, before nodding.

"Everything okay?" he asked, caressing my cheek with the back of his hand, sending tingles all over my skin.

I closed my eyes, giving into his touch - it felt wonderful to be here, with him gazing at me, and his hand on my cheek - to know he's beside me!!

But dada ji... why did he want to meet me?

And I bit my lip again, opening my eyes to meet Abhi's warm questioning gaze - do I tell him now, about Anand, or talk to dadaji and then tell??

I have waited for so long, another couple of hours isn't anything. And besides, talking about Anand would take a very long time but dadaji wanted to see me now.

My heart fluttered as I looked into his eyes, and I had to take a couple of calming breaths before I looked up at him and shook my head in a yes, giving him a small smile.

Abhi gazed at me for a few seconds, before he withdrew his hand, making me feel rather cold and clammy. 

"I'll take a cab from here?" he asked finally, looking very somber.

"No.. I'll drop you home and then go" I sighed, as I pulled the car back onto the road.

The drive home was silent - Abhi was looking out the window, wearing his glasses back on. I kept peaking at him every few minutes, hoping to catch him gazing at me like he always did. But he didn't turn to look at me, and when I finally pulled the car at our mansion's drive-way, he mumbled a word of thanks and got out, before taking his bag with him too.

And without a backward glance, he rushed into the mansion!!

I looked at his retreating figure, with a knot in my belly. I was so used to him always being there for me - pampering me, caring for me, that I had gotten used to his presence like as though he was my oxygen! Tears pooled in my eyes as the realization hit me - I didn't like being ignored by Abhi. And that would probably what he'd do when I'd tell him the whole truth of Anand!
