The College Romance

• Part 51 •

Nikita POV:

"Not that I'm complaining darling, but, are you okay?" He asked me after I let go and looked down, embarrassed.
"I..." I couldn't speak, this is too embarrassing.
"Hey." He said, holding my chin up, "come."
He caught my arm and pulled me in and closed the door and locked it. Then, he guided me to sit on the couch. He sat next to me, "Tell."
I looked up at him and I got butterflies.
I'm too into this man.
Him not wearing a shirt doesn't help.
"I heard... about the whole thing with Riya." I said, "Thank you for that."
"Acha! I don't want to hear a thank you." He said, holding my hand.
"You don't want to hear but, you should hear it. I want to thank you." 
"Hmm, if you want to thank me..." he said, coming closer and caressing my face, "There's another way."
I gulped, "w...what do you want?"
"Hmm...." He was inching closer as he slowly whispered in my ear, "Dinner."
"Dinner?" I asked, "Didn't you eat?"
He looked down and chuckled, "Mishbo..." he said caressing my arm, "Never mind."
"Kya?"
"Nothing, don't worry. Can you cook?" He asked.
"Yes, what do you want to eat?"
"You."
Excuse me? What? I looked at him.
"You decide babe." He winked.
I looked down, and blushed.
"Pasta?"
"Okay! Come." He said, taking my hand.

He sat in the kitchen on the countertop near me as I cooked food for the both of us.
"Why aren't you talking?" I asked him.
"I'm looking at you." He said.
His words will charm me, always.
"Taste." I said, signaling him to come here.
He came forward, casually put his arm on my waist and slowly tasted it, "It's delicious."
"Good. Eat." I said, serving him.
"What about you?" He asked, grabbing a bite.
"It's okay. I'm not hungry."
"Shut up." He said and fed me.
My heart did a somersault.

We sat having dinner. It was perfect. He fed me as he also ate. We spoke about a bunch of things it was really warm and peaceful.
"Okay. I'll go now." I said, getting up.
"Mishbo, it's late. Stay here tonight." He said.
"Are you mad? I can't stay here."
"Why not?"
"The... warden will find out."
He chuckled, "and the warden works for...."
Realization hit my face.
He owns everything.
"Right, but.... still, I'm going to go now."
"Mishbo, stay here na." He said, holding my hand.
"Mayukh... I can't. I need to go." I said.
"Okay, but I'm dropping you home." He said.
I chuckled, "Okay. Come on then."
"Wait..." he said and came close.
"What happened? Is ever—" I was cut off... for he had silenced me with his lips.

He kissed me slowly but fiercely. His arms secured me around my waist and held my tightly. I felt him smiling against the kiss and it gave me INSANE butterflies.

He let go and then looked at me as he touched our foreheads, "This is my new addiction."
"Chalo!" I said, grabbing his hand.
"Aren't you a little too overdressed?" I teased.
He looked and smiled, then put on a shirt.
We went down and he got out his car.
"Why are we using the car?" I asked him.
"You think we'll walk this late at night?"
"It's only 11pm. It's not too late." I said.
"11pm darling. It's late. We aren't going to walk this late. Not happening."
"You're with me, I'm not worried. Why are you?"
"Khazaane ko sabke samne nahi le jaate, even if you're there." He said, making me blush.
This man....

We reached under my building and I looked at him. He was looking amazing.
"I'll see you later." I said.
"We'll see each other tomorrow babe. We have classes."
"Oh yeah. I forgot."
"Have you caught up with assignments?"
"Yep. Finally!"
"I don't doubt that."
"Are we... are we still down for next weekend?"
"Why do you hesitate when you talk to me?"
"I don't..."
"I can see that." He said, "Now, to answer your question, of course we are down."
"Good. I'll plan."
"Where do you want to go?" He chuckled.
"Lonavala. I know it's cliché but—"
"I don't care if it's cliché or not, if you want to go there we'll go there, don't worry." He said, "Get your work done before we go."
"My work is done. I just need to study."
"Then study. Fast."
"I'm studying, okay?"
"I trust you Mishbo."
"Okay. I'll go now, see you tomorrow!" I said and got down. Just as he was about to leave, he rolled down the window and blew a kiss and then smiled, and then left.
My heart did a somersault.

I reached home, bombarded with a bunch of questions by my friends. I smiled through them and then went to my room.

The Next Day

I woke up and got into my shower and got dressed. I wore a simple skirt and a full sleeve U neck top and went outside after applying my basic makeup. I was greeted by Aisha and Krutika.
"Good Morning guys." I said, grabbing chai.
"Someone's very happy today!" Aisha smirked.
"Aish yaar! Don't do that!" I teased.
"Tell me one thing, how are things with you guys now?"
"It's going good. I... I like it."
"Why are you so scared of getting close?"
"You know why...."
"Watch Niki, Mayukh will change you."
"Chalo now let's go to class."

We reached class and I sat down with Aisha. The class was about to start but I couldn't find Mayukh around.
Where was he?
"Good Morning ladies, can we join you?" We turned around to see the Roy brothers.
