Dear Arjun

Chapter 21: Compelled

Seher's POV

"Yes? Mrs. Seher Arjun Malhotra..."

With that he glanced at me, giving me an innocent look as if he didn't just say something that made my heart flutter and my mind go into a wild frenzy. Not wanting to boost his ego even further up than what it already was, I had to look away immediately to hide the blush that crept up on my cheeks hearing him say that.

I pressed my lips together hard to suppress the smile that threatened to curve up my lips.

Mrs. Seher Arjun Malhotra...

Hmm. That does sound fine...very fine.

Shaking my head, I looked back at him a while later after making sure that the blush on my cheeks had toned down a bit but yet I could feel the warmth on my cheeks.

I sighed staring at the innocent face that he was giving me as if he hadn't done anything tonight.

"Mr. Malhotra, what you did tonight was wrong, extremely wrong" I said putting emphasis on the last two words so he knows that I was serious and not joking around.

And now it was his turn to sigh before speaking.

"Come on now, Seher"

"Stop pretending that you're pissed at me for what I did today"

"Because we both know that you aren't"

Saying that he placed his hand on my thigh, his thumb caressing my clothed skin for a moment before he gave it a little squeeze and I could feel myself going still for a moment...God! Seriously! Why does he always has to do something or the other that makes me forget what I was going to say in the first place.

Maybe he knows how he makes me feel, which is why he has began to use it to his advantage every time...to distract me.

My eyes dropped on his hand that was still placed on my thigh before they moved to his face as he was looking ahead and focusing on driving casually as if what he was doing currently wasn't anything out of ordinary and just our usual thing.

I looked back at his hand on my thigh and without thinking twice, I slapped it away, gaining a sharp, annoyed look from him but yet he chose to remain silent.

Yes, he may have proposed me to marry him and yes, I may even say yes to it...but for crying out loud I haven't even said yes yet and there are so many things that need to be said, that need to be heard before I even give him an answer...so obviously I'm not gonna allow him to touch him here and there inappropriately as he pleases like he owns me or something.

And just as I was about to let out a sigh of content for slapping his hand away and him not saying anything in return, I couldn't as my victory was short lived because looking ahead once again, he placed his hand back exactly where it was earlier and I couldn't help but scoff and just stare at him in disbelief.

This man is seriously something...

Choosing to ignore his hand that was once again placed on my thigh, because if I did focus on it or on slapping it away once again, I had a feeling that we would just keep bickering over and waste this night on such silly stuff and we would never actually get to talk about whatever happened tonight...or rather should I say whatever he did tonight as I've also come to realize that this man right here is quite stubborn and he wasn't the one to back away so easily, I cleared my throat before speaking.

"Arjun"

I sighed.

"How can you even be so arrogant to think that I'm not mad at you for what you did tonight?" I looked at him in disbelief.
