Arnav's POV

Unfortunately, Khushi's colleague was back from his emergency leave which meant that I won't be working alongside Khushi. A large part of me was disappointed at this loss. On the plus side, no one else is going to flirt with her.

(That same day)

Khushi's POV

I got back home from work that day, bone tired. The only thing that was running on my mind was sleep. So, once I got home, I quickly took Scooby out of a walk and then crashed on bed, skipping my dinner.  My eyes were literally dropping on our walk.

I woke up to the faint noise of a keyboard clunking, slightly waking me up from sleep. The clock on the night stand read 10pm.

I rolled over and found Arnav sitting next to me, working on his laptop.

He noticed me awake -"Sorry, did I wake up?"

"No, it's fine." - I lied since I didn't want him to feel bad. I have a bad feeling that I am going to get a headache since I won't be able to fall asleep again that night. And so, I slumped against the bedframe and turned on my lamp for reading, and grabbed a book from my nightstand.

Arnav, with his eyes still focused on the screen - "You might as well call me that lamp.."

Huh? Is he drunk? Or am I sleep-deprived to comprehend?

"Why.." - I asked him, out of curiosity.

"Because you turn me on." - He deadpanned at me, making every hair on my neck to stand up.

I didn't know how to react to his words. All I managed to do was slam the book shut and pretend to fall asleep, pulling the blanket over my head, and hiding myself from him.

Akash's POV

Payal and I have been having fights more frequently ever since she's gotten pregnant. Why doesn't she know understand that all I want to do is wrap her up in bubble and lock her away in castle? It's all for her safety and health and she calls me overbearing.

I don't know how we had gotten to this point but Payal and I were arguing

Payal - "You know what? Fuck you!"

"I already did!"

Payal looked at me, a little shocked and more pissed even.

"-and I did it real good," I added

There was a tiny smile at the corner of her lips

"You did." - she replied, rubbing her pregnant belly
