I toss and turn on my bed trying to sleep but I just can't let my mind be relaxed for a second. I just can't get the picture of what happened in the party out of my head. After the whole thing with Rivaan, I felt embarrassed that I let my guard down so easily. So, I kinda just ditched the party and came straight to my room.
Now I can't sleep. With an annoyed huff I get up and go out of the room. When I came here first day, I asked Kanishk if there's any library in the house and fortunately, he said we have one of the biggest libraries here. I can't resist the urge to go to one of the libraries and spend my time reading.
I walk in silence as the whole palace is too silent that it gives horror movie vibes. I get on the third floor, and I see a big door where Library is written on top. I slowly push the door open and immediately I see 3 pairs of eyes snap in my direction.
I freeze as soon as I see Aarvik sitting on the couch in the library with laptop in his hand.
"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't think anyone would be here. You carry on I'll just go." I say trying to sound confident but as soon as my eyes meet Aarvik's all my confident flutters and a deep blush creep on my face.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" he asks in his deep voice while looking at me intently.
"Just can't sleep." I said lowly. Now that he is here, I again need to go to my room.
"You can join me little one" I hear his voice, and I look up to meet his eyes and the pictures of rest room comes in my head and see him smirking slightly.
I relax my face, forcing myself to take a breath. I shouldn't be surprised that when I'm hyper focused on not embarrassing myself, I think of situations that would do exactly that. Quick to convince myself that the thought never even crossed my mind to begin with, I let the guilt rush straight through me like it has many times before, my anxiety finally thwarted by gracious logic. Feeling much lighter, my eyes resumed their run over his figure on their own accord.
"I don't want to intrude." I say trying to sound confident and kind.
