Temporary Husband

Chapter 15: It's my fault...

I woke up with a severe head ache. I felt damn sick but dragged myself down and asked Ms. Thara for some hangover medicine. She had a weird smile on her lips. When I asked he about it, she changed the subject saying something like it’s good to be young?

Seriously, what happened? Why can’t I remember anything? Did I make a mistake? I vaguely remember doing something… But what was it again?

Krish came back from a jog. He looked really dashing. Wait a minute, why do I feel like I did something with him?? No no. That can’t be possible. I waved at him with a pleasant smile on my lips.

“Good Morning!” He looked at me but didn’t say anything as he stormed off to take a shower. Now, that felt weird! Totally weird! Why is he avoiding me?

“Ow! My head is hurting again.” Luckily the pain distracted me. I went to my room to get some rest. Thankfully I don’t have any work to do in particular. I better rest up…

I could feel my ears ringing from the pain! I would better cut down on drinking… As I slowly dragged myself to my room I saw Krish who just walked out of the shower. He was only wearing his track pants. Which means, he gave me clear look at his perfectly fit muscular body! His hair was still damp from the shower. He had a look of sexiness oozing out of him as he used his towel to dry his wet hair. He looked really really hot that I couldn’t stop staring at him.

“Looked enough? Or want to look more?” There he goes again. But this time I didn’t shy away.

“Why? I am looking at my husband. Am I bothering you?” I said with a smirk on my face as I sat on the edge of the bed. He took fast steps towards me which made my breath caught in my chest and for some weird reason my heart started pounding.

“You started!” He pushed me to the bed and got on top of me which frightened me a little. My body acted up in reflex. I was reminded of that time when I was nearly forced. I could feel my body tense up not in a good way. It’s really scary when a man gets on top of me. It brings back all those disgusting memories!

I could feel my eyes becoming moist. If he didn’t give me back my personal space soon I am going to break down in front of him! I could feel his grip on my hands loosening a little which brought back the life to me.

I jerked up and moved away from him. He looked really hurt by my actions. But there was nothing I could do about it. I was scared. Very scared….

The awkward silence prevailed in between us for a while until he mumbled a word. “Sorry…” That broke me!

I cried in front of him like a baby! I couldn’t control my tears. I didn’t mean to hurt him. I didn’t want him to apologize to me. My head clearly knows that he was just teasing me. But my heart is scared! It’s not his fault. It’s mine. I am the one at fault.

He looked totally flustered seeing me cry like that. He didn’t know how to console me…. After crying my heart out for a good few minutes, I finally spoke to him but this time honestly…

“It’s not your fault. Don’t apologize to me. It’s just that… I get scared… when I am not in control…. It just brings me back the disgusting memories….” I told him as my body just continued to shiver on its own…

He didn’t pester me for the details. He slowly crawled to my side in the bed as he reached out his hand to pat my head. But I was still s**t scared that unknowingly I shrugged away. I once again made him wear that hurt expression on his handsome face. Seeing him move away from me made me feel like someone was stabbing my heart with thousands of needles. It hurt to see him hurt!

I jumped off the bed and ran towards him without any damn thought on my mind. My hands reached towards him and pulled him to a hug. I stood there breathing in his minty scent which somehow proved to be a magical cure to calm me down. I dug my face on him back as I spoke in a soft whisper.

“Sorry….” I couldn’t find anything to say other than that. My head was a mess. He freed himself from my arms and turned towards me with a soft smile on his lips.

“I can wait… Just come to me slowly.” He said as he bent down to kiss my nose softly. Kiss… Kiss??? How could I forget that!!?

“By chance… Did we kiss yesterday?” My voice was so soft and I could feel my cheeks heating up again. He looked at me with a grin on his face.

“Yes! Very passionately.” I was so shocked that i opened my mouth as ‘O’. How could I forget that! Bloody hell!!!

I swear, my face looked like a tomato! I can’t believe I had my first kiss with him already and above all I forgot about it. No wonder he avoided me this morning…. With a playful grin on his lips he teased me again.

“Want to kiss?” and leaned his head towards me. I blocked his lips with my hand in the nick of time. But damn he placed a kiss on my palm! I looked at him flustered.

“Since I can’t kiss your lips, I will make do with your hand!” And he kissed me again! But it didn’t feel weird. I liked it. I couldn’t stop blushing as I rubbed my mouth with the back of my hand. Seeing me look like that he was giggling all happily from ear to ear.

*Ring* My phone distracted our moment. I looked at the screen to know who called and it was Daisy…

“Hi Babe.” I chirped. I was definitely in a happy mood. No answer came from the other end. I panicked.

“Babe? You there??” Still no answer. This time I literally screamed. Daisy was not someone who would pull pranks like these. So there had to be something wrong.

“Daisy? What happened? Are you there??”

“Kai.. Kaira…” My heart dropped. I could hear her crying. I dropped the call and asked my chauffeur to prepare the car. Krish was worried seeing me so alarmed. He offered to take me to her. But I refused because I don’t know in what situation she is in. I can’t bring someone with me.
