He was in the kitchen when she came down with the laundry basket… Ignoring him royally, she went towards the washing machine… He smiled at her antics but was equally scared of angering her further. So, he decided to stay silent and concentrate on cooking… But she looked hot in her shorts and t-shirt and he was losing his resolve… Once she was done, she went back to the bedroom… Sometime later he was done with cooking and arranging the dinner on the table… He went upstairs to call her when he saw her standing in front of the mirror with her hands folded behind her… “Aap kafi unfit hai Miss Malik… Protein shake ke alawa aapko kuch aur nahi milega…” she tried mimicking him with a heavy voice… “Kaise khadoos trainer hai… Pehle to kitne pyaar se baat karte the… Aur ab… ‘chaar rounds… 15 mins…’ kaise possible hai?? Aur late aao toh ‘Der se aane ki saza milegi…’ kehte hai… Pata hai training bohot important hai… Lekin pyaar se bhi toh baat kar sakte hai na… Hum mana thodi karenge…” she said to herself unaware of his presence while he listened to her blabbering leaning against the door frame… “Ek toh subah se kuch dhang se nahi khaya… Aur to aur lunch bhi nahi karne diya… Itni bhook lagi hai jaise ki mano pura zoo pet mei party kar raha ho…” she said looking at her tummy sadly… “Hum unse naraz hai… lekin uski saza hum apne pet ko kyu de?? Hum hi kuch bana lete hai niche jaa kar…” she said and turned towards the door and found him smiling towards her… “Kahi sab kuch sunn toh nahi liya??” she muttered… “Sun bhi liye toh hum kya darte hai inse…” she said trying to motivate herself and walked towards the door… She was about to ignore him and leave when he held her arm and pulled her close… “Apne sadiyal, khadoos Kaju ko maaf nahi karengi??” he asked sweetly… “Khabardar… Humare Kaju bohot sweet hai… yeh DSP Anubhav Singh hai jo Zaalim Singh bane firte hai…” she said with a cute frown… He gave her his most charming smile and her anger jumped out of the window… He held her hand and brought her downstairs… A happy smile spread over her face looking at the table full of food… “Yeh sab…” “Aapke Kaju ne banaya… Aur aapke Kaju ne DSP Anubhav se kaha hai aapse pyaar se baat karne ko… Toh kal se woh DSP Zaalim Singh nahi banenge…” he said making her love him even more… “So cute…” she said and pulled his cheeks… “Ab yeh toh mat kijiye na…” he said irritated while she chuckled… He too smiled seeing her happy…
The next morning too, they both ran 4 rounds and proceeded to the gym… By the time she was done, he had already finished and nowhere to be seen… She picked up her towel and bottle and went to the villa… She found her Protein milkshake waiting at the table but him missing… She finished the shake just like yesterday and decided to go upstairs… Every step she climbed she remembered how he had been all sugary the entire morning; just as he had promised last night… She smiled at his loving self… Just when she walked into their room, he walked out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist… She froze; His hair wet as water dripped off them. The droplets trailed down his well-built chest to his abs… She wasn’t seeing him bare-chested for the first time, but today she felt a hunger rising inside her… She gazed at him with desire in her eyes while he felt his cheeks turn warm… She slowly walked towards him while he kept stepping back… Soon she had him caged between her and the wall… She took in a sharp breath; he smelt like cocoa bean, more specifically chocolate chip cookie… She was tempted to devour him… She placed her lips on his neck while he groaned at the contact… Her hands travelled all over him while she kept kissing and sucking at his neck… He closed his eyes in pleasure and slowly wrapped his arms around her… “Sonaa…” he moaned her name when he felt her lips on his chest… He felt his resolve would break any moment… He held her hands and flipped them… “Aap hume uksaa rahi hai??” he asked huskily… She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, “Haan…” she whispered… “Mat…” he couldn’t complete his words as she pressed her lips against his… He pressed himself on her and kissed her harder… They reluctantly broke the kiss in need of air… He placed his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes; they were still filled with the same emotions… “Kya ho raha hai aapko Sona??” he asked… “Aap par pyaar aa raha hai…” she said and pulled him in for another kiss…
Half an hour later, he was at the boxing ring punching the bag… He had somehow managed to control his hormones and sent her to freshen up… She walked in to find him dripping with sweat… Why did he take a shower in first place? She thought… “Aaiye Miss Malik… Aaj hum close combat ka abhyas karenge…” he said pulling his boxing gloves out… “Aap Karate ki training le chuki ye dhyan mei rakhte hue, hum aapko kewal kuch aur daav sikhayenge…” he continued… “Ji Sir…” she nodded… “Yaha aaiye…” he said pointing to a spot in front of him… “Ab humare vaar ko rokiye… Thik hai??” he asked… “Ji…” “Position lijiye… Taiyyar??” he asked again… “Ji…” she replied taking her position ready for the attack… He threw a punch at her which she blocked by bringing her forearms in front of herself… His punch was powerful due to which she stumbled a bit backwards… He kept throwing punches and kicks in her direction, while she either kept blocking or dodging them… But in the process, she kept stepping backwards… He stopped, “Haseena ji… Yaadi aap isi prakar piche jaati rahi toh pratidvandi ko aap par haavi hone mei jyada samay nahi lagega… Dobara prayas kijiye aur is baar piche nahi jayengi aap…” he instructed… She nodded her head and took her position at the centre again… He started attacking her and she began dodging him… Only difference now was she stood her ground and did not move backwards instead started moving sideways… It seemed she was rotating around him trying to defend herself from his onslaught… When he could not corner her for the next 10 mins, he stopped… Both were breathing heavily but he smiled at her, “Aap kafi jaldi sikh jaati hai… Very Good…” he said while she returned his smile and nodded… “Ab aap bhi hum par vaar karne ka prayas karengi… Aur yaad rahe… Hum koi daya ya sahanubhuti nahi dikhayenge… Aur apeksha karte hai aap bhi waise hi ladhengi…” he said… “Ji Sir…” she replied and took her position…
