It is past midnight and I still can't figure out what I am feeling about this whole manik and marriage situation. I feel like I am not allowed to feel a certain way because he isn't mine but I can't help my feelings

As I flip through the pages of the girls, I notice a couple that stood out because they are also working in the same department so they will know how busy he is. They will also understand his work so that's perfect

I grabbed a highlighter and highlighted some really good qualities about them, some had a lot of hobbies such as music, art and so on.

"Manik" I mumble knocking on his door

when I didn't hear anything I peaked my head in and saw his bed all messy, but no giant monster on the bed.

"Monster" I call but there was no reply

I probably shouldn't but I place the papers on his bed and look around his room, you know it's probably the first no no to be touching things in a bedroom that isn't yours but curiosity gets the best of me haha

I notice that there were absolutely no pictures in his room, he has black curtains, lack sheets and pillow cases which I mean it's good cause you won't see the stains but seriously where are the colours

I heard a little splash so I look outside and guess what I find, monster alert hahaha. I slid the balcony door walking outside and guess what, this man was swimming laps in the pool.

I stood by the pool watching him glide in the water without taking a breath, this man has a lot of control on his breathing, he has done a few laps without gasping for air

His head peaks up from the water as he pushes his hair back. I gasp a little seeing his bare chest for the first time, hearing me gasp he looks up at me

"What are you doing here?" he asks

"I mhm well, me, I had a question" I finally utter out

I probably sounds so fucking stupid but it's not my fault that he is so handsome

"I can't hear you hun, come over here" he says

I frown hearing him but I do sit by the pool dipping my feet in the water

"Ahh it's so cold, why the hell are you giving yourself hypothermia?" I yell as soon as my feet touch the freezing cold water

He chuckles a little before he grabs my feet pulling them in the water, I was about to scream because I thought he was pulling me in the pool

"Don't scream like a bird being captured, the water isn't too cold, ease into it" he whispers

I don't even know how he knew I was going to scream, maybe my face just screamed panic before my voice could

he grabs the back of my legs placing them against the pool, the cold stars to ease up becoming warm

"How is it getting warm?" I ask

"Your legs are right by the warmth" he says making me look down in the pool

"But mhm forget it, it's rich people shit" he frowns hearing it

"It's not and don't characterize me with this rich people shit, I haven't always been rich, I have worked hard for this"  he snaps at me

"I know, I didn't say that you haven't worked hard. I mean come on dude, you are like one of India's richest person and the struggle behind it all is also visible. Anyone who sees you can tell how hardworking you are so no I am not questioning that even for a second" I tell him

"Then what do you mean by rich people shit?"

"I mean I never knew a pool can be heated so quick and usually very very rich people have it built"
