Married to THE Professor

Romance is in air

Sanyukta's pov:

"Ra..Randhir I need to go!" I giggle trying as I try to get out of his hold, but he only whines and pulls my body closer to his. 

"Noooo....why do you want to go. It's so comfortable here. It's only been few minutes." He looks so cute with that pout. 

"You know I don't want to leave but I have a class to attend and you also have works to finish." I face towards him, cupping his cheeks in my hands.

"But you are my fiancée, we need to spend more time together." He again pouts, giving me puppy eyes, and I would be lying if I said I didn't cave in.

If it was not the clock in his room showing the time for the next lecture, I definitely would have stayed.

"Randhir, I really have to leave now. It is Dr. Gupta's lecture." I almost ran as soon as he made his grip loose on me.

When I came in class I saw Dr. Gupta has already started the lecture and after requesting for few minutes she allowed me in.

As soon as I went to my place and took a breath, I noticed my friends looking at me with suspicious and questioning eyes which I ignored. If Dr. Gupta was not present, I am sure they would have bombarded the questions. I mentally thanked Dr. Gupta.

It was almost the end of the lecture when a notification comes up my phone screen, and the contact name instantly brings a smile to my face.

Randhir:                                                        Eat your lunch after this lecture. 

Me:                                                                Okay sir.

Randhir:                                                        And one more thing. 

Me:                                                              What???

Randhir:                                                        Miss You.....

Me:                                                                Miss you too.

Randhir:                                                        And I am dropping you home.      

Me:                                                                Only if you get me my favourite ice-cream.                                                                                                 
Randhir:                                                        Your highness, it will be done...................................but a doubt.........which is your favourite ice-cream???

Me:                                                                Doubt??   I think it is time to brainstorm, Professor.

Smiling I kept the phone back and as soon as the lecture ended I opened my lunch and started eating while my friends looked at me as if they saw a ghost. 

Shanaya: Mishti, is this our friend??

Mishti: Ya, seems like her. But why and how is she eating her lunch now, after almost 2 hours of break.

Shanaya: Seems like while doing romance they forgot to take lunch and our foodie friend remembered to take lunch now. And they both laughed loudly while I kept eating my lunch.

I wanted to yell at them but what they said was true, we did forget to eat lunch while we confessed our feelings which are still surreal. I can't believe we both confessed. Is it true?? Ofcourse it is true! 
                         .......................
Shanaya: You confessed it?? OMG! Girl I am so happy for you.
Mishti: Ya, Sanyukta. We both are really happy for you. So....., our hopelessly unromantic friend got some sense.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?? Yeah, I never had a boyfriend or love interest but that does not mean I am unromantic." I tried to justify me.
Shanaya: Oh! You are. Believe me you are. And they both laughed and I could only glare them.
While talking we came outside the class and I remembered that I have to go with Randhir today.
Me: Girls will meet you tomorrow.
Mishti: Hey! Where are you going??
Shanaya: Mishti let her go. Jijaji must be waiting for her. And her words made me blush.
Oh My God! What is happening to me?? Why do I blush when someone takes his name? Oh God these feelings are so complicated and.....beautiful.
Immersed in my world of thoughts or specifically his thoughts I came to his office and squealed in happiness, "Ran....." and then I noticed his assistant Ms. Sengupta there working with him and I composed myself and said, "Sorry, Professor Shekhawat, you asked me to meet after class." Ms. Sengupta who was somewhere satisfied with what I said again got immersed in work whereas Randhir looked at his watch and said, "Sanyukta, wait for 15 minutes. I will be done by then." His casual tone not only surprised me but Ms. Sengupta was also amused at our little exchange but kept quite. I left the room and sat on the stairs nearby listening songs. Exactly after 15 minutes I found him out his office with his sleeves rolled up, his hairs being messed up and top buttons open. Did I tell how much handsome he looked in his black shirt? Well, if not then even at this time of day he looked devilishly handsome but my handsome. While he instructs his assistant and gestured me to join him.
"So, I hope we are done now. Will meet you tomorrow?"
"Yes, sir. Bye" Ms. Sengupta said with her cheeky smile.
The way she smiled was weird. Does she like him? I would have definitely told that if I had known her better. So, I ignored her. And him maintaining the safe distance he said bye and we left from there. The way she looked at us while we were leaving it was clear she wanted to ask about us but who dared to speak something in front of the arrogant, rude and dangerous Professor Shekhawat.
                         .....................
"You never told me which is your favourite," he said as he kept almost every flavor in front of me gesturing me to choose. Oh! I just love how confused he looked but that confidence from his face never left.
So, I took butterscotch and chocolate flavor which by the way are my favorites and I saw him making a mental note of it. "Will remember it," he said as he gestured the waiter to take all others while he kept one butterscotch for himself.
"Sooo....your favourite colour?"I said as I tried to make conversation with him. "Isn't it obvious?" he said as he pointed to his outfit. "Ya, Men in Black" and we continued to share our likes and dislikes. He was quite surprised when I told him that I love thriller movies with great action sequences. "I always thought you will be the fan of rom-com by seeing your personality" and that's how we found that we have lots of things in common. 

He dropped me back home; it was interesting drive home, as we kept shooting glances at each other and I placed my head on his arm closing my eyes peacefully. And the smile that he has on his face told that he is happy having me close. 

We arrived and he parked outside the gates. He opened the car door and stood close to me. Our eyes were glued to each other for few moments..

He slowly neared his lips and planted a warm kiss over my cheek, "Good Night" he whispered in his husky voice causing blood to rush to my cheeks. 

The racing heart, shyness as I looked in his eyes were all new to me. And like always I was confused what to say and giving him a smile, I walked through the gates. 

I could see him watching me but I don't know what happened to me that I turned and took my steps back to him. His brows frowned in confusion and they got relaxed as I cupped his face and placed a kiss on his cheek leaving him surprised yet elated. I whispered, "Good Night" and I as well as him know how much our lips ached to lock them but we knew that it wasn't the place or time. 

I took my distance but our fingers remained intertwined, not wanting to let go. With a heavy heart we walked. And I smiled satisfied at least I wouldn't be cursing myself all night for not giving him a kiss back!

I turned to give him a last look, while he gave a wink lovingly and I went inside blushing wishing for the sun to rise soon.
