Nandini's pov

It is freaking Monday again, I swear to god Monday comes so fast, like literally so freaking fast, it was Friday yesterday and Monday is today like what. Ugghhhhh, groaning I rolled out of bed and walked to the bathroom with semi eyes closed, ahh its literally a pain in my ass to get up and shower. If there is one think I hate more than Monday's, dressing up ahh I wish I could go in a pair of jeans and top but no apparently its unprofessional

I zipped up my skirt and slipped on a white flowy top. I was brushing my hair when my phone beeped making me smile. I knew exactly who it was but I put on heels and grabbed my bag and phone

'Good morning love, I miss you' the text said

'Good morning handsome, I missed you to. Ill see you later today' I replied

I walked downstairs and saw my brother and sister in law aka my bestie having breakfast. Hearing my heels clinking on the stairs they both looked up and shook their heads at how late I was. I quickly kissed their cheeks and sat down beside my brother

"Nandini you are 24 years old and still you can't keep a track of time can you" my brother asked

"Bhai sorry na, you know how much I hate Mondays"

"You work Nandini, you aren't that 5 year old anymore" he said and I could feel burning in the back of my throat

"Cabir watch your tone" navya, my best friend said

"How long are you gonna protect her navya, she behaves like a baby" he said

"Umm im full, im just gonna head out, umm bhai ill try to be early I promise" I said digging my nails in my palm

"Nandini baby come sit and eat" navya said

"Bhabhi im okay, thank you though" I said and walked outside

As the fresh wind touched my face, I felt like I was gonna throw up but I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths thinking of him, he is the only one who can calm me down at this point.

"Good morning ma'am" my driver uncle said

"Good morning uncle, im gonna walk today" I said and he nodded

I was walking wiping my tears when my phone rang which I ignored but it rang again.

"Hello"

"What's wrong love" he said as soon as he heard my voice

"Umm I"

"Did cabir say something" he asked

"No umm, I just umm it's Monday na. That's why" I said

"Don't you dare lie to me"

"Please" I whispered, im not even sure if he heard me because the line went silent for a few minutes

"Where are you, let me come pick you up" he said

"Im just entering the office" I said wiping my face

"Up in my cabin in 5" he said

"No I have work and bhai will be here" I reasoned

"You heard me love, in my cabin" he said softly this time and cut the call

I walked inside and was greeted by my one of really good friends pooja

"Hey girl, jeez are you okay" she asked

"Ya, just thinking about something" I replied and she nodded

I walked to the elevator, it stopped on every floor with people crowding in and leaving but my head was too messed up to even wish anyone which is so unlike me. The elevator opened up again and for longer this time

"Ma'am, this is the 80th floor" the uncle in the lift said

"Right, sorry" I said walking out

He knew it was where I wanted to go becasue only 4 people are allowed up here, him, cabir, navya and I. I walked towards his cabin trying really hard to not lose control of my emotions. I knocked when I reached his cabin

"Come in" he said

I walked in and as soon as his eyes met mine all the control I had over my emotions went down the drain. He got up immediately and pulled me in a hug

"Shhh why are you crying? What happened babe?" He asked engulfing me in his warmth

I dropped my bag in the ground and put my arms around his neck when he bend down a little. He caressing my back, his touches were so calming, he is the only one who can understand me.

"Nandini bacha kya Hua, did bhai lai anything" he asked again

When I didn't reply he picked me up and sat down on the couch with me in his lap, he was placing kisses on my head every few seconds

"Come on nandini you have to talk to me" he said again

"Am I that bad" I asked and he shook his head

"You are so good baby, why would you even think that" he asked

"Why does bhai hate me" I asked and his eyes softened more

"He doesn't hate you bacha, why would he? You are so sweet and pure, no one hates you" he cooed to comfort me

"No he hates me, he said I was not a 5 year old anymore and that I should act my age. I was only 20 minutes late"

"He was probably upset about something, it had nothing to do with you being late" he said kissing my temple

"You know I hate Monday's and I always get late, I swear I was trying to be early  but it always happens"

"It's okay, I know you tried and thats all that matters, don't be disheartened baby, ill talk to cabir okay" he said and I shook my head

"No, its okay he is right I am always acting like a child"

"Nandini don't let anyone tell you that, babe you are a top fashion designer in the biggest company at such a young age, you only use your money, you are an independent woman, and I always want this childishness in you. Thats what makes you, you nandini" he said pecking my lips

"You look so handsome" I said kissing his cheek

"And you my love look beautiful, now no crying oaky. I hate seeing you cry"

"I didnt want to, it just kind of happened" I siad and he chuckled

"Right, becasue nandini never cries right" he asked and I nodded

"Come ill walk you to your cabin before your brother comes back" he said and I shook my head

"I want to stay with you, I feel safe with you" I siad putting my face in his chest

"I know darling but then we should maybe tell your brother" he said and I shook my head

"You know he will hate me even more, and I cannot stay away from you" he smiled

"He loves you nandini and its better if we tell him sooner rather than later" he said and I nodded

"Can we tell him Friday" I asked and he nodded

"I love you" I said kissing his chin looking up at him

"I love you more babe" he pecked my lips

"Ill go, you work" I said getting off his lap

"Come here" he said and I stood in front of him

He fixed my skirt and top, then he got up and wiped my face and pecked my lips again.

"Have a good day love" he said kissing my forehead

"You too" I said

I walked to my cabin which was on the 75th floor where all the designing and styling took place however you will find me on the 80th floor 99.9% of the time because of obvious reasons. I got to my cabin and started prepping for the meeting I had this afternoon.
