Arjun

The light turned green.

I snatched my hand from Saanvi's face mentally cursing myself out. I began to focus back on the road when I felt Saanvi's glare on me. The car ride to drop Ellie off was that feeling right before a thunderstorm. The air felt thick, I said nothing, she said nothing.

I didn't even glance at her when I got out of the car taking a sleeping Ellie inside the house. I gave her to her nanny not before placing a kiss on her forehead. When I came back out I saw a jittery Saanvi in my driveway.

She is panicking.

Even panicking, she manages to look beautiful under the moonlight. The light from the moon doing nothing but enhancing her beauty. I feel like I'm in a trance staring at her. If she were a wet painting id stare and watch as the masterpiece dries.

"Saanvi," I called out to get her attention.

She just looks at me. She studies me and strides over to me.

"Why did you say that to me?" She asked me, it seemed painful for her.

"Because that's how I feel Saanvi." She just looks at me with her mud eyes , staring into my existence.

"Just forget I said anything," I say looking away at my feet. Her glaze is enough to make me melt.

"What if I don't want to?" She says walking closer to me, walking into my personal bubble.

She takes her hand and lifts my head up from staring at my feet. We stare at each other intensely.

"You look so beautiful under the moonlight, Saanvi," I say, taking a step , breaking the gap between us. We are now chest to chest, heart to heart.

She blinks her eyelashes at me. I watch the light capture the blush falling on her face.

"Thank you, Arjun."

She takes a step back and I impulsively grab her, pulling her close to me again.

I don't want her to go.

"Dont grab me." She says taking a step back again. There goes that gap.

"I just want you close to me, Saanvi." I say truthfully holding her intense glance.

"No," she says awkwardly laughing. I feel my heart shatter.

"We don't work. I'm Saanvi. You're Arjun. You hate me Arjun. Tell me you hate me." She says and her eyes hold emotions I can't fathom.

"Saanvi-." I'm cut off by lights.

Headlights to a car catch us both off guard and I watch Saanvi take her hand in her mouth biting her fingernails. I've never seen her do that before.

A person hops out of the car and shouts for Saanvi. I feel my breathing quicken. She called someone to get her? She was that desperate to get away from me, she called someone to get her.

The person walks closer to us.

"Saanvi, are you okay? You never call me so I assume it's a big deal. Saanvi , are you okay? " The person rambles a bit. Saanvi walks over to my car to, I'm guessing, retrieve Milo. I walk over to the opposite side, throwing open the door.

"I can put him in the car, Saanvi," I hesitated for a moment. "I could have taken you home."

"No, he's my brother and my responsibility. I will get him home and I will cash app you for today's activities. Thank you, Arjun. "She grabs and shakes Milo awake and he doesn't awake. I see her start to panic.
