Obsession Or Love?

8. you are wild

MANNAT'S POV

“You don’t need to, I am with you always” as his words escaped his lips I can feel the rising of heat and wandering of butterflies and goosebumps on my body. I looked in the direction of him only to know that he was already looking at me and my eyes got locked with the multicolored eyes of him, his eyes were shining. But today I can only see one emotion in his eyes and that is affection, attraction or maybe…..maybe love?

No, it can’t be love, as the realization hit me I snapped my head back to the window, I am unable to gather the courage to look into his eyes, but it can be possible that I am just overthinking, he is doing this, just as a good friend.

“We are going Ooty” his voice went to my ears, I looked at him with a jerk of my head. Did he know about my favorite hill station? Really?

“Why?” I asked

“Because it's your favorite hill station” he said casually

“How..how do you know?” I asked hesitatingly

“I know everything,” he said.

After a few hours we reached Ooty, and there was a small house, enough for four to five people.

He took me to the terrace of that house, and told me that his ancestor brought this house and now he owns this.

He took me to the terrace, which only made my heartbeat faster and my face flustered. There are mattresses on the floor and there is a movie projector and it's going to be sunset so it looks like an ethereal and gorgeous view from here.

The view was so beautiful that I was unable to take my eyes off it.

“Siddharth and Nehmat will be here by the night..so we are here alone by that time” he said,

As he used the word alone, a number of Butterflies started flying in my stomach and I hesitatingly looked at him and “hum bhi raat ko hi aajate fir” (we should also come at night then) I said, smiling nervously.

“Aap uncomfortable hai to hum wapas chal skte hai” (if you are uncomfortable then we can go back) he said,

“N..No, I am not feeling uncomfortable, I am just scared a little, as I never went that far from anyone” I confess, because it's true that I am not feeling any kind of discomfort with him, but instead I feel more secure and confident when he is around me, he never made me feel insecure or anything, I think we can be good friends.

“Aap dariya nahi…hum aapka sath kbhi nhi chorege” (you don’t need to scare, I’ll be with you always) he said looking into my eyes.
“What?” I said with confusion,
“Nothing” He said

“What are we gonna do until they come?” I asked, he looked at me and then he looked away but I can see his lips are curving from the side, he looks cute while smiling,

“You should smile more, it…its suits you” i said in a flow,

He turn towards me and looked me, his gaze was so intense that slowly my legs are leaving there power to make balance, his eyes were piercing me, from everywhere,

“You should change,” he said with a deep voice, not even blinking his eyes.

“Huhhh? Yeah I should change” i said and ran away from there to the nearby room,
