• Chapter 22: •

Mayukh drove his car with Nikita sitting next to to him. She was fearful but oddly she felt calm. She knew, on paper, that getting into a car with the most popular boy in the university is going to cause her issues, but she still felt deep down that she'd be fine.

"Where are we going?" She asked.
"Where would you like to go?" He said, looking at her and then looking back.
"To my room."
"Damn babe, so soon!" He winked, "Let's grab a bite first!"
Her eyes widened when she realized how that sounded, "No... I... I didn't... mean that..."
"I know exactly what you meant, without you saying it." He said sternly.
She gulped and looked outside the window. She noticed they were still within the campus boundaries. Was the campus this huge?

Mayukh POV:

"Come." I said, as the car stopped. I got down and opened the door for her and held my hand out.
She looked beautiful.
"Don't be scared of me darling. I'm the last one who'll harm you." I said and took her hand and brought her out.
"What is this place?" She asked, looking around.
"The RC."
"What's that?"
"It's my place babe. I got this place made but we never let it come out."
"What?"
"Tu aa." I said and guided her inside.

It was a nice little cabin with two rooms. The cabin had a study area and a library and a TV with games.
"Why do you need this place?" She asked.
"Meaning?"
"You have the whole house, the whole uni, why do you need this extra place?"
"Because...." I said coming closer to her, "where else can I meet you everyday?" I winked.
Her eyes widened and she looked at me. She was going to say something but she stopped.
"Do you want chai?" I asked.
"I want to go back." She said.
Why's she always in a rush to leave? What's she afraid of?
"We'll go, but you tell me first. What do you want to drink?"
"Chai is fine." She said. I gave her a cup and took one for myself. She was still standing so I made her sit next to me.
"Why are you so afraid of me?" I asked.
"I'm... I'm not."
"Oh really." I said, putting my cup down. I moved closer to her and placed her cup on the table as well, then scouted closer to her.
"What... are you doing?" She whispered.
"You're not scared, right?" I smirked.
Her eyes widened as I grabbed her waist and made her come to me. She was so light. I instantly picked her and placed her on my lap.
"Mayukh what?" She tried to break free, "let me go."
"Nope. Not happening." I said, causally, "Stop struggling and sit."
She sat calmly.
"Now tell me. Why are you so afraid of me?"
She looked down, as if contemplating, "I'm not."
"Are you sure Riya is not involved in this?"
She looked at me startled, "W...what?"
Bingo! I knew it! The expression on her face told everything. I know it's Riya, I wanted to hear it through her.
"Don't get scared by her." I said.
"I... I'm not."
"I can see that."
"Put me down, please."
"Hmm." I said and came closer, slowing moving her hair towards the opposite side and gently kissed her on her cheek. She held the back of my sweatshirt tightly.
"You're a drug." I whispered as I slowly kissed her neck, "a very addictive drug."
I continued kissing her neck when my phone rang. I groaned and picked it up, "Kya hai?"
"Bhai. We need you. Set ups."
Really Ved? Right now! "Coming. Relax."
I cut the call and faced Nikita, who was observing me talk, "like what you see, mishbo?"
"W...what? No."
"Unfortunately, I'll have to go. Sorry, my love."
I put her down and we made our way out, after drinking the chai quickly.

I dropped her to her accommodation and before she got down the car, I grabbed her waist and kissed her cheek, "I know why you're afraid and away from me. Don't try all that, doesn't work." I said sternly, "And don't be scared of Riya when my brothers and I are watching your back." I said and drove off.
