Circumstances of You & Me ✔

9 | The awaiting Night

N A Y A N

A mixture of panner masala and some milk products aroma hits my nostrils when we enter inside the Dhaba.

"You can leave my hand now." Aastha hisses, and tries wrestling with my hand but I ignore her protests and look around for an empty Cot. There is only one in the middle of the room and there are teenagers sitting on next cot. I loosen my grip on her hand, instead I pull her to my side with my hand on her shoulder and walk us to that empty Cot. Her warm body fits perfectly to my six feet frame and I hate that it’s perfect.

"You don't need to treat me like you Like me." she snaps, trying to remove my hold from her shoulder. She really looks stupid sometimes and its damn amusing me.

I smile, "Of course I don’t like you but I love you, honey, why you are questioning like that?" her mouth hung open and I smirk, taking a seat on Cot.

"What do you want to eat, honey?" I ask sweetly, taking the menu from waiter.

"Food."

"Wow! You eat food? I eat food too." I grin at her mocking face and scan the menu.

I can hear her mutter something under breathe and I chuckle internally. I'm about to order two Non-Veg Thali when she stops me. I gape at her like she is dumb-a*s for eating Veg Thali. So she is a vegetarian? Whatever, I shrug and nod to the waiter to bring one Veg and one Non-Veg.

"You are a Veggie?" I mumble, stroking my hair back from forehead.

"Today is Saturday, I won't eat on Saturday and Monday." I pause, glancing at her. Should I get impress or something? She is looking around while tying her hair up in messy bun. The curve from her neck to shoulder is alluring and I swallow because I want to kiss her again.

She blushed hard when I relived her from that seat belt, and I wanted to taste those lips from long but I resisted it till today. One flushed look from her and I was like damn, and licked her. It was enchanting to see her dilated pupils when I did that.

I sigh, Man, I shouldn’t have this type of fantasies with her. I shake my head to clear those dirty thoughts.

"I..uh," she stammers, "can you.. see my handbag for a while?" I frown.

"I'm already looking at it from the morning, why looking at it now?" She rolls her eyes with annoyance look and places her bag in my lap.

"I don't know that you are this dumb, Mr.Nayan," she murmurs, "I need to use restroom, idiot."

Oh. She should say that instead of talking about her bag. She makes her way to Board sign showing Restrooms. Damn, look at her walking style with her round rear, I seriously want to touch her. My gaze drops to the bag in my lap when something starts vibrating inside. I touch it to check whether it’s her mobile or something else and I grin clearing my dirty thought yet again.

It starts vibrating again when I am checking my mobile. Do I need to check it? Nah, it's none of my business so I keep it beside me.

Our order comes after few minutes and I completed two rotis, and she is still not here. I wonder what is taking her so long. I stop chewing when I hear words of a guy walking this way and my jaw clenches.

"Dude... we missed looking her cleavage."

They are talking in hush tones and laughing. I swallow the food forcefully; thinking about which girl those guys are talking about. It's not about Aastha, right? Where the f**k is she? My hands ball into fists and I'm about to turn into hulk mode when I see her coming. I blink when I give a once over to her.

What the f**k?

Everybody in this damn Dhaba is staring in her direction because her kurti in chest area is wet. And anyone can her b*a. She walks hurriedly towards me and sits with her head hung low.

"What the f**k happen to your dress?" I demand and glare at everyone, who are gawking in this direction. Everyone turn away when they see my murderous glare.

"Nothing." I hear her say quietly.

What? I turn to her in dismay and she starts eating silently. I look at her dress again to figure out myself. Either she fell flat on floor or somebody tossed water on her. She is looking uncomfortable and damn, she's wearing a violet color b*a.

"Are you going to tell me or should I kick those guys who talked about a woman's cleavage few minutes back?" I warn her.

"Shut up." she hisses with wide eyes, "Nothing happened, okay? Tap at sink is not working properly, I twisted it in wrong away and water spilled on my neck and I was bent down to clear some water from my dress when those guys walked in there. Stop grinding your teeth and eat. I want to go." She explains and continues eating fast.

I wonder why I'm getting this sudden urge to beat someone. I would feel the same if it was Taruni, right? s**t. Why thinking about her now, dammit.

We finish our meal quickly and make our way out. She tries to cover herself when we are walking outside. I could have offered my jacket but it is in the car so I have no choice but to pull her to my side and walk us to car. This time she didn't protest instead she circles her arm around my waist and walks with me like a good girl. I smirk because I like it when she is this close to my side.

She breaths in relief when we are finally on road. I breathe in relief too because we are alone now and I’m dying to see at her cleavage. I really want to see but I have to concentrate on driving too. There is that vibration sound again, stopping my thoughts. She quickly takes out her mobile and checks it but she is not answering.

Who will that be? It starts vibrating again, she silences it again.

"Who's that poor guy?" I ask casually.

"It's none of your business." She replies coldly. I shrug. After few minutes it starts again, I quickly grab it from her lap.

"Hey! My phone."

I hold it in my right hand and drive with left. My face hardens seeing at the name on screen. Sandeep. Aastha tries to grab her phone while removing her seat belt. I pull the car to side and lift the mobile to my ear.

""What the hell are you doing? You i***t! Gimme my phone back." she punches my shoulder but I ignore her and listen to the call.

"Saru? Thank god! You answered, I was thinking.."

"Who the f**k are you?" I cut him off.

"Hey, who's this? Where is Saru?"

"It's none of your business, f**ker. Call her again, you are going to lose your job the next second. There is no Saru here, it’s Mrs.Aastha Nayan Anand now. Back off!" I bark and end the call. Aastha starts cursing and hasn't stopped beating me when I end the call.

"I'm not Mrs.Nayan Anand! I'm myself, you don't own me." She shouts, tugging my hair and its sensitive part of me!

"You! Stupid Woman! Leave me!" I yell, trying to take her hands off me. I'm sure as f**k there will be a bruise on my head.

“Why would you do that? Why are you irritating me?!”

God, what is she eating? Her grip is strong!

“You bloody..!” I curse, circling my arm around her waist and pull her to my chest promptly. She gasps when she collides to my chest.

"Enough woman! It hurts!" I shout, her eyes goes wide and she loosens her grip immediately.

We are panting and she looks down at our collided bodies. I gaze at her cleavage now. F**k. Her skin is milky, damn, I want to dip my head and swim through her curves. She squeezes my shoulders tightly, making me look at her face.

"You p*****t! Leave me!" she wiggles in my arms. She glares as I stare at her brown eyes and slowly loosen my hold on her. She hits my shoulders hardly in anger and moves to her seat, and opens the car door.

"Where the hell are you going?" I snap but she is walking towards the trunk and tries to open it. Stupid Aastha, how will it open?

She strolls to my side and starts hitting my window. I pull down my window to see her glaring, "Open your damn trunk!" she yells, pointing her finger to her left and walks back again. What does she want now?

I click the button and get out to see her, burying her head inside the trunk. I narrow my eyes and walk to her, to get a good look of what the hell she is doing. She pulls out a piece of cloth and closes the trunk hardly.

What's her problem? I like it what I see so I watched, what’s wrong in that?

My lips twitch and I chortle when I see what she did. She is wearing a duppatta now which is covering her fully from neck to waist.

"You think it will keep my eyes away from watching you, babe?" I tease.

"If you ever see me again like that! I will poke your p*****t eyes!" and just like that she jumps inside. I shake my head at her silly words, what am I going to do with you, Aastha?

~*~

"This is where you are living now? I thought you are still staying at that house with your parents."

Aastha mumbles, looking around in awe enjoying the view of elevated apartments. She is referring to the incident when she visited my house months ago. I sigh, taking her luggage out.

I check my watch, it's past 7 pm now. It is dusk when we reached Hyderabad but it is dark now; it took us two hours to reach my place because of hectic traffic. She is still standing at the lawn area with a smile playing on her lips. Our surroundings look even more beautiful in day light. I watch her study the color variation of each building, these buildings are constructed by our company, and this color variation idea is mine. The building I’m living is in color of light shade of Marine green which is now matching with Aastha’s dress. Man, she is going to live with me? I need to send her packing asap. I know what makes her scare off, I need to seduce her no matter what.

I clear my throat to get her attention, she turns and walks back to the car. I smile sweetly and take her hand.

"Come on my love, I will show you our apartment."

She immediately wiggles her hand away and moves past me to her luggage. I chuckle watching her take hold of her three bags and starts dragging them to nearby Elevator. I grin. Game on.

I follow her, she is finding difficult to walk with those bags. Oh poor, Aastha. I grab one of her luggage from her hands.

"No than-!"

She is about to finish her sentence but stops when I toss her luggage to the floor like it is a football and smile widely. Her mouth hung open in shock.

"I thought you were going to help."

“Of course, I am not.”

I shrug and whistle loudly alerting the watchman. A man in late 40's comes out hurriedly from far corner room. I signal him to carry those to my flat.

"Three!" I shout and grab Aastha's hand and pull her in to the Elevator.

"Leave me! I can bring it myself, I don’t need your help."

I ignore her and press 12. She starts cursing impatiently and that long duppatta of hers is really bothering her because it is falling off her shoulders for every few seconds. I turn to her completely, she is looking at me from corner of her eyes. I slowly touch the end of the fabric without her notice and pull it completely off of her.

She gasps looking down at her chest in shock.

“Nayan!”

I grin when she tries to take it from my hold, "If you pull some more, it will tear away, sweetheart."

She groans and stops protesting when elevator dings open to my floor.

"Move."

I order her, wrapping her dupatta around my wrist.

"I'm not taking your orders." she says stubbornly and folds her arms.

I shrug and walk out, first flat is mine but I walk past it purposely. There is a heel clicking sound behind me, she is following. I smirk, Follow me, my hutch dog.

I take a left, we pass another door, and this is a long corridor connecting neighboring building. I walk to end of aisle, and there are two flats here. I stop in front of one, there is heavy breathing from my behind. I grin, taking a step back from that door and start walking in the same direction where we come from.

"This is not your apartment?!" she whisper yells, jogging to me. I quickly speed up my pace, she made a run to keep up with me.

I'm already opening my front door when she rounds the corner. She is out of breath and looks shocked.

"That...That's your apartment? Then why did you make me walk around?" She demands coming forward.

"For fun, babe!" I laugh and step inside my luxury flat.

I sigh in relief when my butt hits my large couch, it's good to be home. My back is aching from driving and I'm feeling tired too. I rest my head back, close my eyes to relax. There is a luggage moving noise after few minutes, I open a single eye to see her standing at the foyer awkwardly. She is closes the door and her mouth slightly opens, absorbing everything in as she walks inside the living room.

I close my eyes again to let her explore my flat. This is a three bed room apartment, in which I made one bedroom into gym, another one is empty bedroom which I have no intention to offer it to her.

A smile stretches on my lips when I think that she is going to sleep in my bed tonight. I lean away from couch to gaze at her intently while removing her dupatta from my wrist slowly. She is about to peek at kitchen but stops when she sees what I am doing. I slowly get up while unbuttoning my shirt.

Her eyes goes wide and her jaw hits the floor when I toss my s**t. I smirk when she takes a step back and her back hits the wall.

"Wh..What are you doing..?" she stammers gazing at my chest and swallows.

“What do you think?” I purr when I am few inches away from her and she yelps when in a swift movement I lift her up and press myself against her. She is holding my shoulders tightly with wide eyes. I can feel her heart pounding against my chest and I smile devilishly.
