Nandini's pov
What do you wear to offices? I mean I would wear jeans and a top but that feels underdressed and Mukti is on a flight right now so I don't know what to wear.
Here is the thing, to my office id wear anything I can find because they aren't fussy at all, but I don't know if that would be okay in Manik's office.
Yesterday he said he would take me with him to this meeting with his mom and this morning Manik was already out of bed by the time I woke up. He isn't in the greatest mood possible.
"Argh I'm wearing this" I groan to myself grabbing this blush coloured dress
It's classy, nice, cute, so that's that. I am wearing it
I get why Manik isn't in a good mood but I am also very mhm I don't know how to explain it, anxious maybe but I hate this feeling. I just don't want to see Manik upset and seeing his mother will upset him for sure
"Nandini baby it's time to go" I hear his voice
"Just a minute"
i quickly put on the dress, I took my hair out of my ponytail shaking it a little, putting my shoes on, I spritz a little perfume running downstairs to see Manik standing there
"Manik"
"Baby we are getting late" he mumbles
"Im sorry, I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear" I giggle
His eyes lift up from the phone and meet mine.
"Hiii"
"Hi gorgeous, I'm sorry I was in the middle of reading a contract" he says sliding his phone in his pocket
he grabs my arm pulling me closer, his lips touch my forehead
"You look so beautiful" he whispers
"Thank you, you look handsome. We need to get you more colours though" I say kissing his chest
"We do?" He asks tilting my chin up kissing my lips
I cannot describe the way his kisses make me feel, it's such a beautiful feeling, like sunsets and sunrises, like whipped cream, like white chocolate and all the good things in life
his lips mold against mine, his tongue fighting for dominance which I allow, manik is so passionate yet so gentle with me, his touches, his lips, all of him is so gentle yet so fiery
"Mhm" a soft moan escapes my lips
"I love you" he mumbles against my lips
"I love you" I whisper back pecking his lips again
"Keep me sane baby, I don't think I have the patience to deal with my mother" he mumbles
His eyes closed as his forehead rests against mine, his arms behind me resting on my lower back
"It will be okay, maybe I should bring an ice pack" I offer
"To freeze her to death" he asks making me laugh
"No silly, to cool you down"
"Trust me, there is enough ice in her presence to cool me the fuck down and enough fire in my eyes to burn her"
"Relax. You only get hurt when you let people in, given that she is your mom, her every move will hurt you but you have to stand here and be strong not always but sometimes. Other times when you think you can't do it anymore, I am right here, I am here to give you that strength but we don't give up manik. You remember that malhotra's never give up" I whisper
"Did Mukti say that to you?" He asks
"Nope, I said it to Mukti once and now I am saying it to you mr malhotra. Get that sexy smirk on your face, and forget how angry she makes you instead remember the smiles I give you" I whisper
A soft smile forms on his face, the corner his lips tilt up
"Sexy smirk?' He asks
"Oh yeah, you just don't know how handsome and sexy you are manik but I am not going to elaborate right now" he laughs hearing me
I love his laughter so much, it's adorable.
"Lets move that butt and get going mr malhotra"
"You make my name sound very very sexy and it makes me want to do a lot of things to you" he says pecking my lips
I slip my hands in his as we walk to the car
"What kind of things?" I ask buckling up
"Lot's of things"
"inappropriate things?' I ask
"Such inappropriate things" he says placing his palm on my thigh
His cold fingers make me shiver but they also make my insides very warm and fussy. Manik makes me feel like I am home, he is my home. He is the home I never had after my mum passed away.
"Sometimes I wonder what I'd do without you" he mumbles
"Nothing, you would still be so grumpy and mean" I giggle
"Is that so?"
"That is so boyfriend"
"I love you Nandini"
"I love you way more manik and I think you should get your girl a coffee" I mumble
"Don't be so coy little one, coffee isn't your thing, it's occasional"
"You are very very mean, I know shahid would get me one"
"no he wouldn't because he would be dead the second his eyes lay on yours" I honestly couldn't help but laugh at him
I can't believe this, he is so cute when he is jealous
"You are so cute"
"Argh stop calling me that"
i giggle at his words
We reached the office and I kid you not, this building is huge, like many many floors up
"More walking please" I hear him say
"This building is huge manik, all of it is yours?" I ask
"Yeah, there are about 48 floors, my cabin is at the very top" he tells me
"Because you are the boss?"
"yeah and because I dont' need to go up and down a lot. Only a few people will come in my cabin, certain clients or my assistant"
"Who is your assistant?" I ask
"Arun, he is nice, recently joined" he tells me
His hands were starting to get clammy as I sat beside him just looking at him. He was reading something but his hand was still in mine.
"Can I get you some food?" I ask
"No, I am not hungry, do you want to order something for yourself?" He asks kissing my hand
i shake my head resting it on his arm caressing up and down his arm to calm him down and it does work until Mrs malhotra walks in, she doesn't knock, she just walks in.
