Tainted Lessons| 18+

21| First Date #2

Arushi was on her feet as soon as the words left my lips. She jumped out of my lap, taking a few steps back in vain as her back hit the wooden shelf. It was slightly funny and I had to bite back the chuckle seeing her scared and nervous face.

I put on the façade of firmness and lifted my finger to motion her, “Come and sit back on my lap, or the repercussions would be worse.” She visibly gulped. She was looking even more beautiful today. She always does. But the other days, she dresses up to show others, for others and maybe even for herself. But today she was specially dressed up to show me.

That black kurti fitting well in her short frame, her dusky skin glowed due to the sun rays coming from the windows, making her look like pure gold. And that small bindi on the middle of her forehead was cherry on top. I have seen many women in my life, but the only person who had ever looked this beautiful in ethnic after my mother has to be her.

She always looks so small and innocent, I was quite shocked when I read what she reads. I mean let’s be real, imagining a girl that young that small looking reads books she has no idea in real life could traumatize her. Anyways my job was to buy her books and recreate her favourite scenes, she can do the reading part.

Now now, I got all these ideas from my youngest brother, apparently these days girls want men who would recreate their favourite book scenes. I wanted to be her desired man from every way possible.

For now I focused back on her, who took slow steps towards me, she looked even more beautiful being all that soft and vulnerable. I was going crazy over every movement of hers, every minute and can you blame me? She stood right in front of me, facing me.

She was about to turn to sit, but I didn’t let her, holding her waist firmly I pulled her on my lap. My broad arms encircled around her completely, her small palms rested against my shoulders, her eyes wide with shock and her cheeks reddish.

“S-someone will see us like this.” She hesitantly uttered. I was noticing how she would fumble with her words and stutter every time I was being close to her. When she realised the way my eyes were prying her, she immediately dropped her gaze, fidgeting with my shirt unintentionally, her thick eyelashes covering those beautiful eyes of hers.

I held her chin and lifted it up making her look into my eyes, as I leaned closer my lips almost touching her but not kissing her. “Leave that on me. Leave all of your worries and concerns on me for today, you just focus on me. Your eyes should always be on me.”

She blushed even harder as I softly gazed on her ear lobe with my lips, making her visibly shiver under me. I loved how much effect I held on her.

“Now tell me, Miss Arushi, what was the reason, you lied to me?” I asked, moving away a bit to see her face properly, she was looking everywhere but my eyes that could only focus on her.

“You are my professor, at that time I had only considered you as a professor, how can you even expect I’ll tell you the truth. Who tells their teachers about the kinds of books they read. What if you had complained to my parents? Other teachers or maybe the classmates? My reputation would have gone down in front of everyone and even in front of you so I didn’t tell you.”

She spoke everything hurriedly as if she had somewhere to go after this, the way she tried to justify herself made me almost laugh out loudly. Only she had this much power on me. Even with so silly and simple actions of hers, she could totally bring out a self of me, that I had cremated within myself ages ago.

“Sir your order.” Our moment was broken by a male voice, I looked up to find a waiter who had brought the food we had ordered. I almost forgot it was also a café. Arushi’s face turned redder and she looked like a complete tomato as she stood up from my lap and sat beside me, trying her best to keep a straight face.

I didn’t say anything at this gesture because I understood she was really shy. Well I won’t say I am shy, or anything especially not when it comes to her because I like to tell the whole world who she belongs to. Everything was fine until I spotted the waiter’s eyes.

My hands clenched into fists under the table as I looked those lustful eyes staring and eyeing Arushi, who was innocently filling her mouth with her favourite pizza slice. It was not a coincidence, I could clearly see his eye balls that reflected the top half of her body, specially near her cleavage. Even though she was wearing ethnic, I could feel his eye balls moving in circles.

If Arushi wouldn’t have been there with me, I would have picked up the fork immediately and stabbed in his eyes.

“We don’t need anything else.” I said gruffly, making him know it was a silent warning for him to leave. And even though he left I caught the glimpse of his lips that twitched upwards.

I would fucking kill that bastard and no one can stop me.

I looked back at Arushi who had a satisfactory smile, it looked like she was loving the food. “Here, you should also have some.” She says noticing my gaze holding a slice of pizza in front of my lips with a beautiful innocent smile.  I didn’t deny her rather let her feed me the slice. I fed her the next slice, before pulling her closer to me, wrapping my one arm around her waist.

“Now, because you said the truth that why you hid the fact from me, I would give you a second chance. But next time I’ll make sure to repeat. The two scenes in specific.” I didn’t need to say the rest, she knew well what I meant.  She gulped looking at me and quickly shoved some more pizza in her mouth making me chuckle from inside.

“You finish the food, I am coming after paying the bill.” She nodded her head and I stood up heading towards the back of the café, this was the place where all chefs and cooks are supposed to be. In exact one chef and one cook were present right. I looked at the cook, she was a girl.

“I need to talk something with him in private. You are dismissed.” I said pointing towards the guy from earlier. She respectfully took her leave, obviously because I was now the owner of this shop.

Yes, I didn’t rent this place, I bought it. But practically a simple College professor can never afford to spend so much. So I had to lie to Arushi. But the point is why rent when I can buy. Plus, now Arushi is mine, even if she wants to she can’t get away from me. So obviously we’ll keep coming back here.

The waiter looked at me frowning, he was shorter in height than me, but he still stood straight as if he was not already scared looking at my intimidating eyes.

“I will ask you only once. Why did you look at her like that?” He knew well what I was saying. However his face showed no remorse of getting caught red handed, rather he gave a dirty over confident smirk. “Her body, those round round b-” I didn’t find the need to let him continue before I first stabbed a fork on both of his eyes, holding his neck tightly with the other hand so he cannot scream. The blood splashed on my face and my white shirt. But I could care less.

“This is for looking at her like that.” I say before stabbing on the tongue that was coming out and shoving a knife I found from the kitchen slab right on the entrance of his oesophagus. His body dropped dead, no voice came out. I made sure Arushi shouldn’t hear, even though the walls were soundproof specially to create the ambience of a real library. No sound, only silence.

I glanced at the mirror in the washroom right next to the kitchen, thankfully most of the blood splashed on my face, which was washed away with  water, and I tried to remove the little blood stains from my shirt with napkins. I was glad, that my white shirt still looked perfectly fine.

I walked out to find Arushi who was now delved into a novel. “Let’s go love, I am done.” She looked at me surprised as if she saw a ghost. “What did you call me?” she asked with those same expressions her voice unsure.

“Love?” I answered casually. She bit her lower lip. “Why are you getting so surprised?”

“Because I never expected my professor to call me like that.”

“You’re right my love, it’s not your professor, it’s your dear boyfriend.” I said leaning down before pecking slightly on her cheek, making her blush. She nodded her head slowly before I held my hand out, for her to hold.

“Where are we going next?” she asked curiously.

“Movie.”
“Bollywood?”
“Bollywood.”
