His Softness [Completed]

I just am.

ALIA'S POV:-

It has been a week since we had that beautiful dinner on the balcony.

Dhruv has started going to his office now and I don't see him from 8 am till 8 pm.

That's sooo long. I keep waiting to see him.

I have nothing to do except cooking and I don't even clean because he has kept a maid for that. I wanted to cook myself that's why the maid just does the cleaning work.

I got so bored that I started looking for a job. It took me a whole day on the internet to find if any school was hiring and I short listed a few.

I have an interview tomorrow with 'Montessori Public School' and I'm hoping I'll get it. But from what I have heard, they don't really hire any teacher with no experience. Well I can just hope.

I looked at the time and.....oh god!

It was already 7:50 pm and I totally forgot to make dinner! He'll be back any minute!

Just as I was about to enter the kitchen the door opened and he came in.

"Hi, Aalu. How was your day?" He said keeping his things on the table and coming near me.

"It was...fine." I said with a smile.

He hugged me and kissed me on the forehead.

This has become a ritual.

Everyday he comes back, he pecks me on the forehead. It's a simple yet such a sweet gesture.

No matter how tired he is, he never brings his office back home. Never once takes out any frustration that he might have in the office.

He says everything vanishes when he sees me. Ugh!

"I'll freshen up and then we'll have our dinner, okay?" He said going towards the washroom.

"Yeah...about that....I forgot to make dinner....I'm so sorry I'll make it right away..."

"Oh...it's fine. Let's make it together, I'll be right back."

"No..you must be tired....I'll make it quickly, I promise."

He looked into my eyes and a shiver ran down my spine. "I want to make it with you."

......

"Okay." I couldn't say anything else. His eyes are so intimidating.

I thought he'll be a little mad.....I have one task to do and I forgot to do even that!

He changed and entered the kitchen. I had already taken out all the necessary ingredients.

"I have almost cut the vegetables just this onion is left the-" I was in the middle of chopping onion when he suddenly picked me up and settled me on the kitchen counter.

"Dhruv! What are you doing?" I said in shock. He picked me like I was a feather.

"Settling my wife so that she can see her gorgeous husband cook for her." He kept his hands on the counter beside my legs and caged me in.

"Why are you so obsessed with yourself?" I held his face with both my hands.

He held my hand and kissed my palm. "Because you are not."

Uhm....if only he knew.

His eyes make me feel like I'm melting into them.

"We were going to cook together..." I said looking away from his mesmerising eyes.

"We are together.....in the kitchen."

"But-" before I could finish my sentence he placed his lips on mine.

He is injurious to my health.

My heart always starts pounding whenever he comes near me....and when he does that....it straight up wants to come out of my chest.

He pulled away and said looking into my eyes, "Now....just let your eyes do the work of seeing me....rest I'll handle."

I was speechless.

My voice refused to come out.

Fine then! Let me just look at him while he cooks. It's not like it's a bad sight.

It's. so. damn. hot.

After 45 minutes of me admiring him through my eyes and him doing all the work, the dinner was prepared.

Not gonna lie, I hold to stop my mind several time from going south.

He looked just so hot with his sleves rolled up and his sexy ass veins staring at me.

He put everything on our plates and I was about to step down but he stopped me.

"Wait here." He took our plates and everything else out and set them on the table.

What is he planning to do now?

He came to me and picked me up in his arms again.

What's with him? Why does he keep doing that today?

"Dhruv! Why do you keep picking me up!?"

"I don't want your feet to do too much work."

That isn't a reason!!

"I'm....not that light you know..." I muttered in my mouth.

He sat me on the chair and said, "Baby....I can pick four of you and still run a marathon." He smirked.

That expression of his!

Ohhh.....someone's being romantic today.

"L-let's eat."

He is such a great cook. Why is he a lawyer? He should open his own restaurant.

In all this I forgot, I need to tell him about the interview.

"Dhruv..."

"Hn...don't like the food?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"No, no it's amazing. That's not it."

"Uhm..." He looked at me with curious eyes.

"I applied for a job interview...at Montessori."

"Oh...waoo, that's great."

"Yea...and I have an interview tomorrow."

"You are going to get it. I just know it." He said excitedly.

I am not so sure....

"I am doubtful...they don't really take inexperienced teachers."

"They can make an exception. You'll ace it, I'm sure."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I just am. You're amazing and you love kids."

I do love kids but....I'm so nervous.

"Let's hope for the best."
