ETHEREAL

.32.

A loud knock on my door woke me up from my sleep. For few seconds I didn't even realise where I was, I was sleeping like a drunk person. Only After opening the door sleepily I realised what blunder I had done. All my sleep gone suddenly as I look up at  a disappointed Randhir. I was pushed aside slightly as he make his way inside my room. He took his seat where I was just sleeping. Picking up my pillow he used it to support his back against the bed post. He clear out a little space in front of him before looking up and eyed that little space. Am I supposed to sit there, in that little space, so close to him? Nice. Huh.

I walked to the bed and clear the farther corner of my bed to sit. Now we were sitting diagonally opposite to each other. His one brow raise high in amusement.

"Why are you so scared of me?" His lips twitched up as if it's something funny for him. Actually it is funny for him.

"Why would I be scared of you?" I collect all the blanket from the bed and crumbled it around me as if it will protect me from his gaze.

He chuckle lightly noticing my actions. "Then why do you avoid me so much? Ignoring me? Always maintaining distance between us?" He crossed his hands behind his head getting more relaxed in my bed. The bed which is his bed actually but currently mine.

I asked for another room when I find out Aamayra used to stay in my previous room so randhir offered me his room to stay. Alone of course.

Play cool. Play cool

I faked a laugh. "What am I supposed to do? Sit on your lap?" I throw my hair back from my shoulder.

He straighten his legs a little before motioning me to come. "I don't think I mind."

What the actual f..

"In your dreams." I comment back urgently hiding my cheeks which began to burn.

"Well in that case, I had a dream recently. We both in my office, fighting but in the next moment we couldn't take our mouths off each other and .." I cut him off.

"Fine. Fine. You wanted to talk about this? At this time? Then let me tell you I was quite happy ignoring this conversation and sleeping peacefully in my bed.

"Sleeping here?" He lightly ran his palm up and down over the bedsheet where I was just sleeping and I swear something melted inside me.

"I'm guessing we really don't have a common topic to discuss." I eyed the door. "Sweet dreams."

"Dreams like we just talk about?" He smirked.

Is it really happening? What had gotten into his mind? What did the rain did to his head?

"I really have to sleep. I'm tired." Good. Keep going. Don't show it affects you.

"Actually yes, you have to get enough sleep before tomorrow. We will leave early for office." He informed.

I laughed. A real laugh.

"No way in hell I am going back there ever." I pressed the blanket firmly to my body.

His face turn serious. All the fun disappear.

"I will be waiting for you tomorrow." He commanded.

"I am not going." I stated. "I don't even want to see their face again. They both turn my life upside down and I can't bear to be in the same building as them." I said truthfully.

"That won't be a problem." He mumbled.

"What?" My head snapped to him. "How?"

"See yourself tomorrow." He sighed before standing up from the bed. But then stop again and turn to me determined. Leaning down on the bed he supported himself on his knees as he climbed on the bed towards me.

With one strong hand he clutch the blanket I was holding tight to myself, and pulled it to himself. I came along the blanket. I almost bumped my nose into his. He breathed harshly over my lips and I forgot that I have to breath to live.

"Just know that, I won't hesitate if I have to drag you down to my car tomorrow." His eyes flicked down. "I want you in my office tomorrow." His eyes came up again.

He stood up and I was left with the blanket I was holding. Am I disappointed that he didn't kissed me or am I disappointed that I wanted him to kiss me?

He walked to the door totally satisfied with himself but he turn to me once again and asked.

"I hope you have some plans for this Wednesday?" He hold the door open.

"What's on Wednesday?" My voice was breathy and shaky. He smirked when he noticed.

"It's Peter's birthday." He look amused. "But I know you will come up with some idea for sure."

"Idea for what?" I try to sound confident but my voice betrayed me again.

He walked out of the door but before closing the door he said.

"Plan his birthday surprise. We can discuss it tomorrow, we will have lot of time together."

I didn't miss that little challenging look he gave before shutting the door close.

I fall forward on my bed with the blanket around me.

"Even talking to him has exhausted me, I wonder what happen if we ever.."

What the f....

Did I just ....

The door knob rattled and I lift myself from the bed...

He was biting his cheek playfully.

"I missed a conversation where I was supposed to ask about your little walk today but now I guess." He took a pause, step inside the room. Walked to my bed again. I let go of the blanket just in case he pull it to him again. He noticed, so this time instead of the blanket, his palm went around my neck and pulled me up to him until his lips landed on mine. I swear my mind fell into a peaceful paradise. I sigh in content against his lips. But he broke the kiss before I could start enjoying it. When he looked down at me.. he look restrained.

"Never ever do something like that again." He ran his thumb over my lips before sighing. Then within a blink I was left alone in my room.
