"I want to take you somewhere tomorrow. To meet someone special." I whispered, holding his rough fingers in my soft ones.

His smile turned into a thin line, staring at me intently. I could feel his fingers pulling themselves back from my hold, only for me to tighten my hold on them.

I'm sorry, Mr. Singhania.

I don't know what happened to him, all of sudden, he pulled me towards himself in a swift motion, causing me to jerk up onto him, but accidentally my foot slipped and as I tried to hold him I failed, which led both of us to land on the bed.

Closing my eyes, I realized I've landed upon his strong chest. I could feel his strong gaze on me. Yet, I was adamant on not opening my eyes. Slowly, I felt his fingers putting my hair strands away from my cheeks, behind my right ear. My hands on his shoulder tightened because of the proximity.

What am I doing? I was about to pull a prank on him. God, please don't embarrass me like this.

"Don't pull pranks on me, love. You're making my heart suffer." He mumbled, softy.

I felt his breath near my face. It was so close that I felt this strange tingling sensation in my tummy. He affects me so much.

"Raghav" I finally whispered, slowly opening my water-glistened eyes, as they met his brown ones.

"Hmm"

"I-"

I stopped saying midway as my stomach rumbled loudly, causing me to close my eyes again with the recent embarrassment.

God! What's wrong with me? Why am I on the verge of embarrassing myself?

Clearing his throat, he stated, "Let's have our dinner. I'm very much hungry right now. And so is the baby."

I bit my lips softly, opening my eyes at his statement. Why is he like this?

Slowly, I tried to get up, only to stumble back on him. Our eyes met each other, again. This time it felt different. Like something new. My gaze fell on his lips making me gulp at our closeness and then they shifted back into his eyes, as his eyes were already staring at my lips.

Is he thinking of kissing me now? Do I want him to kiss me?

I don't know. This is so-

His eyes closed as I felt him breathing heavily. I've never observed him with such proximity. Suddenly, I saw how his Adam's apple bobbed down, slowly.

We are going to kiss. What? He wants to kiss me. Maybe he does. But do I want to?

Why am I feeling all these butterflies? Why is it so difficult to let him go away from me?

I tightened my hold on his shoulders. Closing my eyes, I was ready to take in whatever he was offering me right now.

A knock interrupted our door, making both of us open our eyes. Quickly, composing myself I stood up after one more failed attempt, when he offered to help both of us to get out of the bed.

While I stood near the bed, he turned on the lights of the room and walked towards the door to open it. I saw Nalini Aunty walking inside with the brightest smile on her face, with the serving trolley containing two plates at the top and placed it near the couch.
