My Destined One

The Morning After

Aarsh's POV

  I never thought that Meera would end up agreeing my demand, I don't know what made her stay in the night with me but am happy she didn't leave after I have fallen asleep. When last time I checked her before I slept, my head was still on her lap. Her bare legs just at my eye levels. Damn, I can have that view every minute of everyday of my life! When she agreed to stay, I asked her whether I can at least sleep with my head on her lap. And guess what, she agreed. I know there was a bit of confusion she had in her mind, but within seconds she moved it away, and of course, I was glad. She sat on the bed, her back resting on the soft headboard, I lied down, kept my head on her lap, she caressed my hair, gave me a head massage. In short, if this is the treatment I would receive everytime I almost get drown, then I would gladly ask anyone to push me into the pool every damn day, even if it's Deepak who pushes me.

  I never knew when I fell asleep, but around 3 in the morning, I woke up to pee. Meera was still in the same position but so was I. I felt bad, because of me she had to sleep in such an uncomfortable way. I got up, used the washroom, came back to the bed, made her lay down properly and then joined her on the bed. No, I didn't let my desires take control even for a minute, they wanted to, but I restrained myself. Yes, there still exists a part of me that wants to have her, ravish her, make her mine, physically, solely, emotionally. But we promised each other we will not do anything. 

  Yesterday, when I saw her in that beige formal wear, I was blown, completely. Her bare legs, with sexy matching heels didn't help me either, I just wanted those bare legs to wrap around my waist again, just like that night. And those red stained lips! It should taste delicious just like her actual lips when I tasted them years ago. Gosh, am perverting over the girl who is not only my PA but my friend too and also saved my life twice. She deserves better. And when I say she deserves better, I can throw the entire world at her feet without a second thought. She was damn special, at least for me.

   It's 6:30 in the morning, just the right time for me to get up and go for jogging. Am a morning person like hell. Even on Sundays, I get up early morning, do my jogging and make breakfast for myself. Lakshmi Didi doesn't come before 11, so I get the morning pretty much to my self. But today is different, different from all the mornings of my life. Its the morning I have craved for years, there is the view right in front of my eyes that I wanted to see for 4 f*****g years. And I finally got it. I woke up looking at Meera in the morning. Gosh she looks cute! Her messy hairs, her no make up face, her soft snores, the posture she is sleeping right now hugging the pillow, everything is so cute and so pure. Gosh am jealous of the pillow right now!  My t-shirt she was wearing got up a little bit, and her waist and belly was on full show. I quickly run my fingers on her soft skin. Although she has lost weight, her belly was still chubby, I so wanna pinch it badly. But no. If I do any such thing she will wake up and my view will be disturbed. 

  A part me said that its wrong to stare like this but a part of me also wanted to look at this peaceful yet beautiful site for some more time. Couldn't able to stop my self, I removed my sleeveless t-shirt I was wearing, pulled her to me, trying not to wake her up in the process, covered both of us with the duvet, hugged her, and closed my eyes for a bit. I just cannot let this opportunity to go away when I had her so close to me today. Whenever she stays back at my place, I always had the urge to sleep with her, doing nothing, just sleep with her in my arms. No s*x, no nothing, just cuddle and sleep. But I never had the damn courage. Today, I will live my dream, maybe for a good few minutes, but that will be more than enough for me. I know I will wake up before her.

  Yes, I thought so.

Meera's POV

  Mmm... since when did I can cuddle with my pillow so perfectly huh? Since when did my pillow gave me warmth? Made me feel hug it more and more? And on top of that, its smell! Last time when I slept, I remember my pillow didn't have any sort of smell, but now it has one, rather a good one, no the best one. I snuggled more to my pillow. As soon as I snuggled it more, a warm soothing air fanned at the crook of my neck. It seems like someone is breathing there. I felt confused, but I was still not ready to open my eyes and start my day. Its a freaking Sunday! The more I snuggled the more something wrapped around my waist tightened its grip. Soon, I searched for it, and when I got it, I ran my hand on it and it literally felt like someones's toned up hand. What the f**k? Since when did my pillow grow up its own hand?

  Realization soon dawned upon me. I remembered where I slept last night. But I slept in different position than the position I thought I was in right now. I wanted to open my eyes and see it by my ownself, but I didn't have the courage. But I had to. And the shock came true. Yes, I was in Aarsh's arm, and on top of that, the pillow I was hugging so dearly was none other than Aarsh himself. f**k! How the hell did we end in this position? The last time I remember before falling asleep was, Aarsh's head on my lap and he was sleeping peacefully like a little baby, no frowns on his face, no hard lines, no worries. There was peace all over his face and a smile on his lips. I don't know he knew that or not, but I was more than happy to see him like that after the pool area incident. I didn't have the heart to leave him after he fell asleep. Though I was uncomfortable, but I decided to sleep in that manner. First, I can enjoy this rare side of Aarsh, second, if I moved, I was afraid he would wake up from his deep sleep. And trust me that's the last thing I wanna do any day.

  But the thing which shocked me was how the hell we two end up in this position? Like in each others' arms? And his shoulders? No clothes? What the f**k, his upper body is completely bare. Why the heck is he nude? Thank God, at least am wearing my clothes. That's the only sign that nothing happened. But my t-shirt rose up a bit and his hand covered my jelly belly. God why am a feeling hot? Maybe he laid me down and sleepily hugged me and nothing else happened. I was completely confused by the way we were sleeping. One part of me was screaming to get away from him, from this awkward position while the other was begging on its knees to stay just for few minutes more, to enjoy this proximity, to enjoy this morning, this warmth, his touch, his smell, everything. I was confused by my ownself.

  All of a sudden Guruji's those words strike me again, " The day he realizes you are his destined one, he will search for you everywhere. The land under his feet will become short. It doesn't matter where you hide, how much you try to hide. He will always come finding you. No matter what, he will burn the world, do any thing and everything possible you can imagine just to be with you. No one will be able to keep him away from you, neither me, nor Goddess Kali, and not even you. If you want to try, you can try but when he will burn and destroy the world to find you out, be prepared to take the blame, cause no one else will. Be prepared Meera, be prepared."  All of a sudden, I could see these words coming true. The fear of getting involved with Aarsh and the effects it will have in my life, everything seemed to be coming true. No matter how much I wanted to stay here with him, I have to leave him. I cannot take the risk for him to know who I am to him.

  With these thoughts, I finally decided to get up and go away for him. I tried to move, lightly, still didn't want to wake him up. I tried to pull away his hand, but the moment I grabbed his hand, he tightened his grip around my waist and pulled me closer. Next, I tried to push his shoulder, but no, its just a wall. His warm breaths which fanned in the crook of my neck, hardly made things easier for me in anyway. I felt slightly ticklish. I so wanted to stay here, embraced in his arms. But no, I started getting up abruptly, using my full force. "What is wrong with you girl? Why the heck can't you sleep peacefully?" he asked in his groggy morning voice, itching his eyes and yawning slightly. Gosh its so deep! "I need to go to the washroom." I said trying to reason out. "So go nah. Why disturb my sleep?" "Well, it seems you haven't noticed how you got up, let me remind you. You were sleeping holding my entire body with your arm. I tried to get up, but each time I tried to get up by not waking you up, you pulled me to yourself" I whisper-yelled.

  The moment these words left my mouth, I thought he will be surprised. But what I saw made me confused a bit. The moment I described how we were sleeping, his full face turned red, as if he was caught red-handed doing something wrong. Did he intentionally sleep like this? Like hugging me? No no no... that can't be true. Why would he do that? Does he still have some feelings for me? Still now? Oh no... that can't happen. I thought he moved on, didn't he? "Umm... well... I didn't realise that I was holding you while sleeping, am so-sorry. Umm... bathroom is at the end of the walking closet. You go, freshen up, I should go and prepare breakfast and after having breakfast I will drop you home, ok?" He said without looking at me. Definitely something is wrong with him. But I didn't press it more. I nodded and then quickly went to the washroom.

  Gosh, it was really a bad idea to sleep on the same bed with him. I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't have. I knew somewhere or the other something like this would happen. I really shouldn't have fallen to my desires. I shouldn't have.
