Indian Turkish love

chapter 8

A week has gone by. The work's been good till now. Only that now Miss Deren calls me the Adda because she can't say Shra together.
That's weird
I feel like Mr Can has been paying too much attention to the creative group, always calling for meetings for nothing.
Like literally he called a meeting if there should be coffee in the office or tea. Why can't we just keep both of them?
Whatever....
And it's been a week I haven't spent time with Alex. He's getting cranky nowadays.
I usually take him out for a climb in the park but due to the work I get tired easily.
Maya came to pick me up today with her car.
We reached office and went inside.
I sneezed......
Polen....
Of course she had to be here.
I went toward the coffee stand to make a cup of coffee.
Did I tell you I also have to make tea for Mr Can? He said he likes how I make tea.
Now I am not a tea lover but I can make good tea. I make tea for my parents back home.
I made him tea and was taking it to his office when I felt a sneeze coming. Soon a pale skinny hand came in front of me.
"I'll take that. It's for Can right?"Polen asked me
"Yes, it is" I replied back not wanting to ruin my good mood.
I gave it to her and went back to my desk which I shared with Ceycey.
" why did she come? Did I do something wrong? Oh no!! They are going to fire me. How will help my grandmother? " He started ranting as soon as I sat.
"Hey Ceycey, it's ok. You're fine. You didn't do anything wrong. " I assured him putting my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. But he started to walk around the run. I got nervous seeing him like that.
I ran after him to stop him from any more damage. He started shouting me instead and moved towards me.
I was moving back trying to calm him down with all the people around also repeating after me when I suddenly tripped on someone's foot.
Before I could hit my head, a pair of strong arms wrapped around me and the cologne was rich.
I had squeezed my eyes shut but when I was sure I wasn't falling anymore I peeked through one eye to check if everything was ok near me.
Then I opened both eyes to see a beard then pink lips then brown eyes.
Uh oh I fell on Mr Can.
I looked around to see that everyone was staring at us.
I looked down at my self and saw that his hands were holding my waist.
I looked back at him and opened my mouth to tell him to leave me when I felt his nose near my nose.
I breathed in deeply due to which I inhaled a lot of his cologne.
It almost made me dizzy.
I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my head and told him to let me go.
He straightened up along with me and I felt awkward to see everyone.
So I just mumbled a sorry and scurried away from there.

Can's pov
(Back from the bus scene)
I was just getting in my jeep when I saw Shraddha in the rear view mirror. Instantly a small smile crept up my face.
I don't know why I like seeing her.
Is it her colour? She looks like chocolate with her chocolate skin.
Is it her smile? Her teeth are not exactly straight but I find it cute.
Is it her eyes? It twinkled when she speaks about everything she loves.
Or is it that she does not compare to any one else? She's very humble.
I've noticed such things.
I was just thinking about these things when a boy covered her eyes. She did give a small smile in the beginning but when she touched his fingers trying to recognize who it was, her smile faded.
I frowned at that.
She forced his fingers out and started talking to the guy.
And he was smiling at her.
I don't know what got into me, I started the engine and drove away at a fast speed.
"Was I jealous? Why would I be?" I questioned myself
"Because you have taken a liking to her." My inner thoughts told me.
"But I wasn't like that with Polen. "
"Because you felt like you owed her something. She was with you when you went for your first trip. And she also looks nice but she's just not the one."
I was silent at that.
Later when I came to the company, I saw that shraddha was working pretty well. She was quite fast in learning the work. One of the best was she makes really good tea.
The whole week I would look at her and everything she does brought a smile on my face.
Every morning I get to see her fresh face with a cup of tea in her hand.
But today, when I was expecting her, Polen came instead with the cup of tea.
"Hi babe" she greeted me.
I just nodded looking outside the glass door, trying to find Shraddha.
But Polen was moving her head along with mine.
"What are you looking for? Or should I ask WHO are you looking for?" She asked raising her eyebrow
"What are you talking about? Where's Shraddha? She always comes to give me the tea." I replied to her annoyed that because of her I won't be able to see her.
"Is it that black girl with specs you are talking about? I told her that I would be giving you tea today." She replied back

"I had to tell her something regarding the new client we are having."

"Why do you have to tell her? She's only a junior and she's new. What would she know about all of this?" She is getting too much on my nerves now.

I go out of my cabin and see Shraddha walking behind Ceycey then she starts walking backwards. I quickly strode towards her so she doesn't fall but I guess destiny has different plans.
She tripped on my foot and with a quick hand I held her from her waist. 
Her scent hit me on the face. It was the same as the other day when I kissed another girl in the dark room.

I was lost in her scent that I almost missed what she was asking me to do. I let go of her and she scurried away like a kitten.

I chuckled.
