Obsession Or Love?

7. CARE

MANNAT'S POV

My peaceful sleep was disturbed with rays of sun entering through the window, I put the pillow beside me on my face and try to sleep again, the mattress was that soft that I don't want to wake up and do the chores, but suddenly the fragrance of cardamom and and ginger went to my nose that made my peaceful sleep away, I was thinking who was cooking in the early morning that too in my house, than I opened my eyes and than I realize that that I came here with my Nehmat, for the trip.

I went down only look at the breathtaking sight in front of me, Ayushman Raichand is cooking in the kitchen and that so only in his trousers and that make me look at his well defined body, broad shoulders, 8 pack abs which are flaunting his strength, veiny tanned hands and muscular back. He has a tattoo of a snake on his back, below the neck, which is showing his power and dangerous aura, that can get on anyone on their knees.

"Like what you see?"

A voice disturbed me at my thought, and as I came back to the real world I saw Ayushman is standing in front of me with only distance of few inches, I looked at me and heat rushed on my cheeks, his multi colored eyes were shining in the sun rays and I noticed that he has a perfect sharp jawline, his chest was rising up and down with the fraction of time and he is looking at me with his intense gaze and a teasing smirk, which made my whole face red without using blush.

"Huhh?" I said and take a step back,
"Do you like the sight, Miss Khurana?" he said taking a step towards me,
"Wh..what sight?" I said nervously, taking my steps back,"there is no sight to watch" i tried to say with confidence
"Then why were you looking at me like you are gonna eat me?" he said taking his step towards me,
"No.. its not li..like that" I said taking my step and than my back collide with the railing of stairs, and I can feel a whole jungle on my stomach,

"Really? Miss Khurana" he said and put his one hand beside the railing me caging me with both his hands, I can smell his body fragrance that is intoxicating more than whiskey, he takes a step towards me, only leaving a gap of a few centimeters between us..

"Yes, Mr. Raichand" I said and pushed him with all my strength and ran away from him to my room, I can hear him chuckling but I don't have any courage to look back at him, my skin can still feel his breath on me and I can still smell his fragrance. But I am feeling all these things, In his presence I feel something, but I don't know what this feeling is, maybe the opposite attraction. or love?

I went straight to my room and took a cold shower and changed into a plain kurti set. And went down only to see that Ayushman is already sitting there with breakfast in front of him.

He is wearing, black pants with white t-shirt, tucked in. I went near him and still not forgetting the interaction that happened between us. Heat rises up on my cheeks, looking at him.

He looked at me and said "your friend and Sid are out for a long drive, so we are alone here."

I blinked at him, getting nervous after knowing that we are alone, "Wh...what?" I tried to sound shocked but " But..Nehmat didn't tell me about this?" I said

"Hmm.. because you were asleep last night in the way there, and you also woke up late, when they were gone" he said, looking at the clock, it's only 11:37 AM.

"I was not that late" I said slowly and took the seat and started serving myself breakfast..

He looked at me and said "by this time half of my office work is done"

"But you are not at office, so take a chill" I said in cool tone, but then he glared at me and I stopped talking and start eating food, Ayushman also serve himself and also start eating.
