Forever Yours

Part 14

Luthra House

Preeta and Dadi were coming downstairs after her treatment. There was still time for breakfast. Rakhi knew that Karan was still sleeping since he didn't have practice today. So she asked Preeta to go and wake him up. Preeta was nervous but Rakhi reassured her, winking secretly at Dadi, who just shook her head at her bahu antics.

Preeta arrived in front of his room and stopped. She knocked on the door and waited. Hearing no response, she invited herself in and stopped to admire the cute scene in front of her. Karan was hugging his pillow tightly, one leg out of bed while he was lying on his stomach. Preeta could feel butterflies in her stomach. She slowly walked towards him and sat next to him.

"Karan wake up," She slowly whispered in his ear, while caressing his hair.

Karan scrunched his nose and hugged his pillow more tightly, hiding his face in it. Preeta rolled her eyes and went to open his curtains and windows to let fresh air in. Karan's sleep get disturbed because of the sunlight. He hid himself below his duvet, groaning.

"No please, five more minutes." He said under it, already falling asleep.

Preeta snatched the duvet from him. Karan opened his eyes and glared at her, "No, but what's your problem! I want to sleeeeppp," Karan said childishly. That's when he really realised Preeta's presence. He looked at himself then at her and hid his chest, yes, he was sleeping shirtless.

"P-P-Preeta! W-What are you doing here?" He stuttered.

"Good morning. Rakhi Aunty asked me to wake you up. Now hurry up else your breakfast will get cold. I will take out your clothes in the mean time." Preeta opened his cupboard and start searching an outfit for him. Karan wished her good morning and looked at her strangely. Feeling his stare on her, Preeta turned around and raised her brows at him. He nodded in no and stretched himself.

Unknown to him, Preeta was staring at him in the corner of her eyes. She watched as his muscle contract with each movement. She could feel her heart racing. This man was so hot and she was proud he was just hers. She broke from her trance when she heard Karan shouted loudly. She quickly ran to him and helped him sat on the bed while he was clutching his arm in pain.

"I told you many times be careful when you are stretching yourself but no, you don't listen to me. In the past, I told you, repeatedly, 'Karan don't stretch like this else you will get a bad cramp' but no, when have you even listen to me? Now see, you are such in pain..." Preeta continued to ramble.

"Shut up yaarr, here I'm in so much pain and there you are eating my ear off. Please be quiet." He said loudly, fed up of her scolding.

"Acha theek hai. Now tell me where it is hurting, I will massage it for you." Karan showed her and shivered when he felt her cold hands on his body. Mind you, he was still shirtless.

He watched as Preeta massaged him, her nose scrunched in concentration. He just lost himself in her innocent look and smiled softly at her. Preeta looked up at him and got lost in his eyes. She stopped her hands but let them on his body. Both shared a deep and passionate eye-lock.

Karan faced her and moved closer to her. He raised his hand and tucked her hair behind her ears. Preeta shivered and closed her eyes at his action. Karan brought his face closer to her and was about to kiss her when they heard Rakhi shouting their names from downstairs. Both pulled apart abruptly and looked away from each other.

"A-Uhmm c-clothes. I-I will them out for you, go freshen up." Karan nodded and went in the washroom. Preeta took out an outfit for him and put it on the bed. She cleaned his room and got out.
