Raghvi - The Soulmates (MHRW)

35. Touch

Pallavi

"How are you?" He asked suddenly as he helped me to sit on my bed.

"I am fine I already told you" I answered.

"Lie" he spat inserting his both hands inside his pocket.

His glare was something different and I couldn't get what was he talking about.

"What? Why are looking at me like that. I am not lying." I said. But I couldn't make and eye contact with him for longer.

"I am fine really, I am not lying" I said again.

"Pallavi shut up! I can see you are hiding something." He said and sat down in front of me. Holding my hands he said "is it about what happened yesterday?"

I was quite, I couldn't say anything.

"Pallavi speak something or I will just asmue that I am right." He said directly looking through me.

I hated the fact that he could see through me, what I was thinking, what I am going through. But also Loved him for the same.

I could never lie to him.

"Is that bothering you?" He asked again.

"Yes" I said and tear droplets made their way through my cheeks.

"I tried Raghav, but I can't forget it. I can still feel him, his touch..... it's just disgusted me everytime I think about it. I can-'t ...I...c" my throat felt heavy and I couldn't breathe properly.

He hugged me tightly as if he will never let me go.

"Relax Pallavi, just breathe" he slowly patted my head. "Relax don't think about it, it's okay.Just breathe"
It felt relaxing. Peaceful as I need.


My breathing became normal after a while. He broke the hug and he cupped my face after wiping my tears.

Kissing my forehead said "you can cry more if you want to, it's not that I like seeing you cry but it will make you feel better."

I tilted my head to place it on his shoulder.

His cologne hit my nose, his smell always been so manly and soothing.

It may sound weird but it always give me butterflies.

His upper three buttons were open as usual so his chest was clearly visible to me. I lifted my hand and randomly started to weird patterns on his bare chest.
I wished time would stop and I will be like this forever with him.

"Stop!" He said breaking my chain of thoughts.

I stopped and raised my head to see him. My hands still on his chest.

"What?" I asked.

"Stop doing that" he said.

"Stop doing what?" I asked him again being confused.

He looked at me for few seconds with a strange look and then stood up abruptly.

"N.. nothing just my knees were hurting, I am kneeling for so long now." He said trying to streach his lengs.

I didn't realise he was sitting on floor for so long.

"Sorry, I didn't realise..."

"Are you that naive sweetheart?" He asked cutting of me in the middle.

"What do you mean?"

This man confuses me too much.

He looked at me with that expression- "seductive", yeah that's the word.
