Sorry for the mistakes.
Nandini's pov
The next day I woke up in a car with stiffen neck and arms, a huge body snuggling into my neck more and more making me groan.
It took me a good two minute to decipher everything about my surrounding, and to the heavy person on top of me
how am I able to breathe under him?
His soft snores were audible in my ears which made me sigh in relief as I'll leave before he'll wake up
After a lot of struggles for making myself free from his iron like body I finally succeeded.
Just when I open the car door, a deep sleepy voice behind me murmured " uhh where are you going? "
I chose to ignore and ran away quickly towards the palace.
----------------------
" Thank-Thank You for yesterday " As soon as I came out of the washroom I heard his nervous voice which again brings me back to yesterday where I sat on his lap voluntarily. Just thinking about it made my face hot.
Stupid-est me!
To save myself from encountering another embarassing situation, I hurriedly started going outside when he quickly came and stood infront of the door
I looked up in a frown only to met with his surprised face, his eyebrows raised, while eyes pointing towards me
I was not in a mood of playing any of his guessing game, so I changed my direction but he again came infront of me
" What? This isn't the penthouse, there are lots of helpers outside " he reasoned looking in my eyes
My frown deepened as I couldn't understand what the hell he's trying to say so, I again tried to leave when he again came infront of me
" Wear something other than a towel, then go out "
I frowned at his statement but nevertheless looked down only to feel the oxygen flew away from my lungs, I was indeed in a towel as I forgot to take my clothes in hurry.
Where the hell are you my good for nothing brain??
To say, I was shocked would be an understatement, I was embarrassed to the core, my hands quickly flew to cover both my face to hide myself from his intense gaze but in a hurry, I did another disaster.
And just when I thought, I couldn't be more embarrassed, somehow the tug of the towel opened because of my so called hurry. my mind stopped working, eyes shut tightly and all I could feel was my towel slipping away, in-short I became a statue until a pair of hands stopped the towel by keeping it at its place.
Trust me, I was sweating. No one would think I just showered.
I was neither in a condition to look to the owner of the hands nor to remove his hands away. Heck, I didn't even know am I alive or died because of my stupidity.
Noticing nothing from my side, he started moving his one hand towards my back while one hand intact in its position. Wrapping the towel tightly around my frame, he stopped just where my heart is located.
" Here, tuck it in " I heard his hard rasp voice after a minute clearly indicating he's controlling himself.
Thankfully, my good for nothing brain worked. I took the towel tug from his hands and ran straight to the washroom.
Closing the door, I wanted the floor to swallow me up, how am I gonna face him now
Why I have to be so stupid?
I was busy in cursing my stupidity, when a knock on the door interrupted me
What does he want now? Am I not enough embarrassed already?
Urgghhh
" Here take the clothes " he spoke from the other side while I literally wanted to bang my head on the wall
Not having any other option, I slowly opened the door when a hand came inside with my T-shirt and trouser
The same hand which was near your- urrghh shut up!!
Taking the clothes hurriedly I closed the door only to saw a pair of inner wears as well inside the T-shirt
Oh god help me, please!! I don't want to go outside
While wearing the clothes only one thing was running into my mind, he saw my inner wear, how embarassing is that
Its okay, Not just inner wear, he saw you in a freaking towel which was almost slipped, my subconscious mind made an attempt to make me feel better which actually did the complete opposite thing
I was so so so embarrassed that I keep standing in the washroom for about an hour or so until I heard him again " Come on, come outside. Its not a big deal "
Not a big deal?? For me its biggest deal!
Hearing no reply from me, he spoke with a sigh " Fine, I'm leaving for some work. You come out "
The Door knob clicked again, which made me sigh in relief that he's gone. Still for more safety, I waited for 10 minutes and then open the door to see he's not present.
Slowly Coming out of the washroom, I went infront of the mirror to comb my hair when a reflection behind me made me jump in fear.
Liar!!
The traitrous liar was standing there freshly showered wearing nothing but a trouser, with an amused smile on his face smirking at me by crossing his hands across his chest.
" So much of hide and seek, huh? " He commented coming closer
I try to reply him but my vocal cords were blocked, so I started combing my hair, when suddenly a pair of hands crawl to my waist making me jump in the process.
"Wh-wh-what What the hell do you want? " I frowned yelling at him while controlling my heartbeat
" You? " He asked giving me one of those looks of him which are really hard to resist
Before I could reply or think anything he started walking making my legs moves involuntarily away from him.
The next moment, he stop and smirked at me while I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion to which he shake his head while biting his lower lip and slowly moved one of his legs again which made me also move back
My leg bumped onto the bed, and the next second I fell on the bed. That's when it clicked, why the hell he was smirking all this while.
I was about to scream at him when I saw him standing across the bed with one leg on the bed beside me while the other on the ground, crossing his arms around his chest, smirking at me and analysing my every small antique.
" The hell do you want? " I asked all irritated
" I was trying to say Thank you and Sorry but you were just not ready to listen " he stated taking out one of his hand from the pocket.
I was still laying on the bed uncomfortably with him hovering over me
" Sorry? And you? For what? " I gave him an accusatory glare
" Uhh for everything, especially For that day, umm actually night. I acted like a douche bag. Uhh I-I shouldn't have said anything about you or your D-Dad " he spoke softly with hell lot of nervousness and a sad face
" You're right, you shouldn't have said but you did and I'm not very much generous with people who hurt me. So better luck next time, maybe? Also, the person you're talking about isn't my Dad, he was just a sperm donor. Any other thing you want to say" I spoke in a rather rude voice looking away
" Thank You" he muttered after gazing me for a while
" Fine " I murmured still looking away not finding any where to move
" Just fine? " He spoke in a husky voice, his voice a little more closer than before
" So? What do you want more? " I asked making an irritating face but truth to be told, I was nervous. Nervous AF.
He was almost on top of me, his breathe fanning my face and in this situation he's saying Thank You
" A lot of things. But for an instant, Leave your Job "he whispered, his nose almost touching mine, but his last sentence gave me all my senses back
" You misogynist, my life doesn't and will never revolve around doing your chores. Keep that in your messed up mind and leave " I shouted at him while hitting his chest with both my hands.
Surprisingly, he didn't tried to stop me or speak anything, infact an amused smile was intact on its face which made my blood boil in anger.
Saying so casually to leave my job, he's finding it funny
" What? Why are you smiling? Leave me bitch " I yelled
" And then you say, you're smart " he chuckled lowly biting his lower lip to stop himself from laughing
" I'm smart. I don't need your validation " I hissed looking dead in his eyes which he politely ignored and lied down just beside me on the bed
I thought to leave, but he turned my body towards him in a way we both were lying and facing each other.
I tried to pull away, but he kept one of his leg on mine making me more closer, so that I won't run or kick
" Now. When did I said leave your job to do my chores or household chores? " He asked moving a strand of hair from my face while I kept looking at him not understanding, then why he asked me to leave
I thought hard, when my mind again gave me another reason which I spoke before thinking as always " if you want me to quit my job and join your office then you're highly mistaken. I don't do such thing no matter what you're going to offer "
He smiled again making me frown again
Am I some joker?
" And why would I want you to work in our company? " He asked stretching OUR making me roll my eyes mentally
" I don't know, maybe because you want me to follow you or to use me for your peace of mind like you did in College " I spat at him
His smile dropped, but he still manage to give me a fake smile while looking straight in my eyes
" Well, The smarty ass is wrong again and now please don't say that I want a trophy wife " he asked chuckling a little to make the atmosphere a little less intense
Its nice to see Manik Malhotra afraid or nervous once in a while
I chose not to spoke anything, just raise my eyebrows indicating him to continue
" Umm I know. I know that you don't like your job, like would be an understatement, you hate your job " he said looking at me while I felt like a bomb drop onto me
Its true, I hate my job. I simply hate it. But I've never spoken to anyone about it, no one knows this. In the starting of my career, I did tried to complain but everyone around me stop me by saying this is what you wanted, you wanted to be an Aerospace engineer, which made my mouth shut.
I never told them that I wanted to be a Pilot, I did Aerospace Engineering because I wanted to be a Pilot, this was never my dream but then life happens and we get no other option but to survive.
Anyways, coming back to the real world, I'm shocked that how the hell he came to knew this, maybe it's just a wild guess
" What? Are you mad? Why wouldn't I want this job? " I asked chuckling looking here and there
" Because you never wanted to do this job in the first place? " He stated while I gulped hard thinking does he have some power to know about my inner self
When he saw no reply from my side, he stated further " leave your job and do what you always wanted to be. Be a Pilot. "
He said casually but it wasn't casual for me, not at all. I don't have money for God sake, what he was saying was something which I wanted to do since childhood
" No, I don't want to be. Its just a distant dream now " I said, my voice quite lower than before as somewhere his words touched my heart.
he understood me!
" No, its not. You know, you don't need to worry about anything, Your husband is quite capable " he stated cupping both my cheeks lovingly
As much as I wanted to say yes, but I can't take his money.
Yes, it is his money and always will be!!
Taking a moment or two, I spoke looking at him
" Thank You for saying this but I'm fine with my job. Trust me, I can't study more, you know " I chuckled in the end like I cracked some joke but he wasn't finding it funny, he was only looking at me trying to find something which I don't know
" Now leave me, I'm hungry " I stated before removing his leg which he removed quietly
The moment, I got free I straight way ran to the door when his voice stopped me to drop another bomb " I've read the messages "
