Ira POV

May be I was a big tease because Arjun has been grumpy since we last messaged. He has been annoyed, he was much more quieter then usual and he had his lunch on his desk. Later at around 4 pm I got an email saying he was applying for a sick leave and going home.

Damn, I never knew it upset him so much. I was just teasing him right ? Oh god, how do I even convince him and if I do try to cajoile him will he let me ? God, please help me, saying the prayer I knocked his door once I was done with my work.

He opened the door and stared at me from top to bottom with his intense brown eyes. The way he stared I thought he would even throw me out but he left the door open and walked inside without acknowledging me, or should I be glad that he did not shut me out ?

I walked inside and closed the door. I thought I had a big apology to make but I did not really know what upset him actually, was it the teasing ? But, that's me, I like being cutely sarcastic and a silly tease. I was about to start my talking when I was pulled in with force, before I know it I was pushed into the wall and Arjun was really close that I could smell his cologne

Me: Arjun, I .....

Arjun: You were a tease 

Me: I, I mean yes, I was a tease 

Arjun: That is all I needed to hear, now I believe you should be open to a punishment 

Me: What ? 

He leaned into me and ran his nose on the side of my cheek. It made my stomach all fluttery and my heart beat more than normal

Me: Why I am I punished again ?

Arjun: You already forgot what you did ? Okay, let me enlighten you, first you do not ride with, we could have had that time together but nope madam enjoyed the company of others than me. Then you told me you would fall out of love with me and then you were actually very smug about it

Me: Come on Arjun I was just teasing you. And the falling out of love part I was talking about that cheesy guy. Oh that enjoying other's company that is not true, I just thought it would be better for ...

Arjun: Me and the environment right 

I nodded 

Arjun: Fine, are you going to make it up to me because you did tease me, ignore me and enjoyed the presence of that Neeraj

Me: Hey, he is a collegue and wait ... are you the jealous type ? And for your information HR should interact with everyone, remember I did interact with you too and that time you were very intimidating 

Arjun: Fine, suit yourself 

He was about to walk away when I held his collar in my hands. I held his face in my palm 

Me: Arjun wait, I have no explanations for your jealousy because he was a colleague who is funny but if something really bothers you about me like the teasing I did then I am sorry that you felt bad. I understand you are upset and may be I dont see why, but if you are really sad, I wish you could feel better soon 

He held my hand which was on his face and kissed my fingers 

Arjun: I was not really upset, I was just messing with you 

Me: WHAT ??

Arjun: Yes, you teased me so I thought I could ...

Tears came out from my eyes and I put my palm on my face sobbing 

Arjun: Hey, Iru I am so sorry. I did not mean to make you sad. You did not do anything I was a dumbass. Iru, I promised Naina, Meeru and the kids that I will keep you happy but I got tears, I am so sorry ....

He was all red and freaking out. He was paranoid and I could not hold it any longer, I ended up laughing out loud holding my stomach. 

Arjun: Wait, were you just acting

Me: Very smart, you figured it out by the way, you should not be angry I did the same thing you did okay ?

Then I remembered how his face looked

Me: But seriously, did you think all of them will beat you up or what ? You got so scared 

ROFL, I was giggling bad, holding my stomach when I was locked in Arjun's arms 

Arjun: Why did you stop love ? Continue with the smiling 

He started running his finger on my face, slowly taking his time

Me: Arrjun

Arjun: What baby ?

Me: Leave me 

Arjun: Okay, as you wish 

He slowly kissed my forehead and put some distance between us

Arjun: You should keep smiling Iru, you look like a sunshine

I blushed at that 

Me: So, tell me why were you acting all cheesy today ? and what is with the possesiveness I did not know you were that type

Arjun: You want the truth ? As I was never in a serious relationship I was a bit scared on if I would be a good boy friend, then I started reading and watching movies, also I took advice from Naina. I thought cheesy is good because you said this is your first relationship and the possesiveness was all fake, yes it bothers me when some clown is hitting on you but not so much that I would get angry like an imature man

Me: Cheesy is impressive for 12th graders may be but not for me. I mean flirting, indirect double meanings is cool but direct, cheesy lines makes people sound like a road side romeo. 

He glared and I chukled at that

Me: and, if you remember you were yourself when I fell in love so its okay to be yourself. Ofcourse, some flirting, sharing your thoughts, charm and compliments is appreciated but cheesy is overrated. You know you scared me when you applied for sick leave ?

Arjun: Oh that, I had a small migrane issue 

Me: And you are telling me now ?

I started moving around the house trying to find the stuff I needed. Then before Arjun could resist I was massaging his head with hot oil humming to myself. I was seated on the couch while he was on the carpeted floor

Arjun: Iru, suprisingly this feels good

Me: And you were resisting this 

Arjun: I am possesive about my hair okay but I guess its your's too just like I am 

I smiled at that 

Arjun: You know what this reminds me of ?

Me: What ?

Arjun: My mother, she used to do this too
