Just This Once

Chapter 4

Akshat

It was just one month left for our semester 5 exams. We did have some practical work and training session since we have opted for management studies.

In the classroom it was ok, but when we went out for training it was so fucking difficult to keep my eyes off Arushi.

She's so fucking sexy when she's dominating.

We have had to get in pairs and I don't think anyone suits Arushi better than me, so I didn't gave anyone a chance and asked her out.

And ofcourse she happily said yes to pair with me.

Though I guess some hearts were broken because she choose me. And I know if I wasn't in the class that moment, many would have asked her out, she's such a charm and clever as fuck.

Today was the last day of practical training.

After that we went for lunch and I asked her for studying together. As always she agreed and we went to the college, but found out that the Library was under restructurion so we came to my house.

She kept her gaze low as we stepped out of the lift. I quickly walked to my door, pushing the key in, opening the door and helding it open for her.

She entered and released a breath.

I smiled gently as she took a seat on the sofa without hesitation.

I am happy to see her being comfortable with me, in my house.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a cold water bottle from the fridge.

I came back to her with the bottle and 2 glasses. I poured water in the glasses and handed one to her.

"Thankyou." She said accepting the glass.

She downed the whole glass with a sip and sighed in relief placing the glass on the table.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead with her thumb and index finger. I got up and placed back the glass and bottle in the kitchen.

When I returned, I saw her head in her hands supported by the arm of the sofa.

I took a seat besides her.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." She said and I hummed.

"We'll study tommorow I think I need to go home now." She said turning to face me.

I looked at her and her eyes weren't shining, the glimmer, the confidence, the sparkle, everything was lost from them.

Do I notice her so much to recognise such minute differences?

Her face was pale. She looked.....weak.

She started getting up and I held her arm asking "Are you sur-" I instantly stopped when I felt her skin burning.

"What the hell!!" I said as I checked her forehead.

"Oh my God! You have a high fever. I won't let you leave like this." I said and she sat up straight.

"It's ok, I'll go home and take re-" she said but I didn't let her complete her sentence and said "No means no. You're not leaving with that burning body."

She breathed out deep and lowered her gaze. "You dare not move an inch." I said as I got up.

She looked up at me and nodded.

I went to my room to get the thermometer, medicine box and a glass of water from kitchen.

I took a seat besides her and stared at her. I adjusted the thermometer and held it in front of her. She took it and placed it in her mouth.
