She don't Give a....

Chapter 14

Arjun's Pov

I snuggled my face in the pillow, so soft and warm. I looked around and took a sigh when I saw the bottles. But wait, am I wearing full clothes? I got up and sat on the bed, well, this is new. I definitely don't make my way to the bed on my own. There was definitely someone here. I saw no girly clothes lying around my bed, and even I was in my full PJs. What kind of sorcery is this?

I tiptoed my way to the living room, in the kitchen I saw her. Damn... how can a person look so pretty early in the morning. With her messy wavy hair and her half-open eyes, she was as salient as the morning mist. Her eyes lifted and she glanced at me. Huh, she sensed me. I rubbed the back of my neck and moved closer to the counter.

"Uhmm...Good morning", I greeted looking here and there.

"Here", she handed over a glass with lemons and mint leaves, in her sweet voice she continued, "It's lemonade, will help you recover from the hangover."

I wasn't feeling any hangover but still, I took the glass from her. I can't say no to her. I settled on the dining table, watching her from afar and sipping on the lemonade. Come on Arjun, you can't always keep gawking at her. Say something, break the silence, just ask her about yesterday's events. Wait, what did I do with her? Why I can't remember anything, ughhh.... Forget it, I am just gonna ask her straight. But what, That did we sleep together last night?

I was wandering in my thoughts, when she spoke, "By the way, do you always resort to drinking when something goes wrong? Alcoholism! Do you want to die?"

"Uhmm... No, where.... where did you find me?", I asked.

She leaned on the counter, "In your balcony", she chuckled, "who sleeps on the balcony, and that too when it's raining so heavily."

Her smile, and her chuckle, both were so pure. Am I again gawking at her? I shook my head, trying to wake up from my dreams.

I got up from the chair, and walked closer to the counter, "Uhmm...Sakshi", while rubbing the back of my neck, "Did we... do it last night?" I asked with an infinite amount of hesitation.

"Did what?", she tilted her head and smiled at me.

"Uhmm..." I glanced into her eyes, "Uh...under the sheets without anything on."

She chucked, and stood face to face with me, "Sorry Mr Kukreja, we didn't have sex last night."

She turned around, and I took a deep sigh, thanking god in my mind.

"What was that sigh for?", she questioned me, staring into my eyes.

Uh oh! Say something clever Arjun, you can't mess this up again.

"I...uh...we had a complicated relationship from the start, I don't want to make things more complex and yesterday when your father slapped me, after that, umm... never. I am thankful to you for taking care of me last night when I called you..."

"You didn't call me!" she remarked.

"What? If I didn't call you then why are you here?"

"Because I wanted to talk to you...", she gave me the duh expression.

"About?"

"Maybe we will talk next time Mr Kukreja", she narrowed her eyes towards me, "When you will stop thinking of me as a mere interviewer who just wants to sleep with you."

She was about to walk away when I pulled her by her wrist. Her hair slightly touched my cheek, hmm...that fragrance, is it jasmine? I glanced into her eyes, she wasn't struggling to separate, rather she was coming closer to me. Her face brightened with a hue of pink.
