Love? OR Politics?

PLEASE

Previously on love? or Politics?

The meeting ended and everyone left. "In my office now", Sohail said through gritted teeth and walked fast out the conference room not even waiting for Anum to say something in response. Once again he was walking way more fast for Anum to catch up with him. When they entered the office he turned around and caged her between him and the door, holding her hands above her head and spoke, "What was that?"

"What was what", Anum spoke with same venom and anger as of Sohail's dripping out of her tongue.

CONTINUING 

"Anum don't fire me back with a question. Answer what I asked you", he spoke softly. Their faces were inches away and Sohail liked this proximity for a reason  unknown to him but Anum was feeling nauseous due to this position of there's. She lowered her gaze no longer looking at Sohail, she didn't want to look in those black eyes which left her hypnotized whenever she looked at them. She did not want to feel such sort of feelings for him.

"Why aren't you answering me love? ...say something please", he pleaded with his  puppy dog eyes and a sort of pouty face. She had never seen him in such state and now that she had, she couldn't take her eyes off of him it was an amusing as well as an adorable sight to her. "Get a grip Anum"her sub conscious reminded her. "UH-UM ssss...sir please let go of me it hurts." but all Sohail did was tighten his grip on both her hands. "NO I won't let go...remember last time I told you that next time you won't be able to get away from me and now answer me what was all that happening in the conference room...hun?"

"Nothing that'll trouble you sir ..I--I was just taking notes and yes I admit that I zoned out in the middle and I'm so sorry for that. It won't happen again. Its just that I got bored somehow and...."she stopped talking and held her head down. Sohail was amused by now,"look at me Anum"but Anum being Anum did not do so. Sohail sighed and made her look at him by placing his forefinger under her chin but even then her eyes were looking down rather at him. "Anum look at me please look at me or should I call you love or with any other endearment to make you listen to me hun?" Sohail was grinning by now. She finally lifted her eyelids upward and met with his black hypnotizing orbs."That's more like it and I want to tell you something...can I?"he asked for permission. 

"What day is it today?? hun?? like something great happened today or what that he's being so nice to me and calling me by my name, saying please every now and then and not to forget calling me with such endearments. Ya Allah! what's gotten into him.....such a bipolar he is one minute he's rude, arrogant and the next minute he goes all Mr. Softie on me....woah! can't handle all that in one day!...." she was continuously thinking to herself when Sohail broke her train of thoughts and spoke,"I was asking you about what happened in the conference room because you were being so friendly with Adnan and all other people were looking at you two then this Saif started to look at you.....Is there something going on between you and Adnan or Saif and you?" he interrogated.

"Wha--hun?? no of course not sir...Adnan is like my brother that I never had plus who- who's Saif? Are you talking about Saif Bajwa?"she asked dumbfounded. She couldn't believe he would think so low of her and the way she Knew Saif was because she has to keep a record of all the members in his party and he's one of them infact he's his left-hand man just like how Adnan is his right-hand man. She was so disappointed by now,"like why are you even keeping expectations from him?" again her sub conscious said to her. She lowered her gaze once again.

Upon hearing what she said Sohail's tensed muscles relaxed and his face now had the soft look on it but the hurt evident in Anum's eyes made him feel guilty about what he assumed and said. Anum looked at him from her eyelashes and could see that he was feeling bad for thinking so low of her that was one of the best thing between them till now that they could feel each other's feelings sometimes without being said anything. He removed his grip from her hands thinking it might be hurting her by now and ran his left hand through his hair. Anum tried to ease the pain in her hands by rubbing them slightly. When she looked at her hands for they were hurting so much she saw that there were marks left on it and through some spots on both hands there was blood.....her hands were bleeding slightly. Sohail looked at them too and cursed under his tongue,"Shit......" 

He grabbed her by her shoulders and gestured for her to sit on the sofa made for three people. She silently sat there while Sohail was looking here and there crazily,"where have I placed the first aid box now????"he questioned himself frustratingly. "Sir please don't bother it's not much.... I can handle it on my own"Anum said and was about to get up when Sohail stopped her. "No no don't you dare go  anywhere....I'll be back in a minute....stay!" with that he went into the bathroom as he remembered where he put it after a minute he came back. He started to clean the blood first then also cleaned it with a Sanitizer after that he put some ointment on both her hands,massaged the ointment gently on the injured areas he thought she would flinch or maybe there will be some eye to eye contact but guess what Anum did not do so she broke all those cliche stuff to which Sohail chuckled in his heart. He was now securing her hands with a bandage and in a couple of minutes he was done."All done", with that being said Anum got up as she was feeling uncomfortable around him for now and thanked him. She was about to leave when Sohail stopped her,"love I was thinking if you'd like to have dinner with me?"he asked while scratching the back of his head, he was feeling nervous one could say.

"He never invites anyone for dinners and stuff hell he does not even eat at his own home, he's always invited from so and so person every single day on breakfast,lunch and dinner and now he's asking me for one???? What is happening??? Is this for real??"she was looking at him astonishingly and thinking and there was silence in the room for ten seconds or more. Sohail decided to break the silence and said,"love don't look at me as if I've got a monkey standing on my head....answer me....and why do you always have to widen your eyes at everything I ask you?"he questioned but instead his sub conscious spoke,"yeah well because you always make such surprising moves with this innocent girl that it leaves her astonished."he rolled his eyes inside his head to his sub conscious for always interfering and for always stating the truth. 

"I can't sir ...I'm sorry" with that she turned on her heels and was about to turn the door knob when his voice stopped her dead in her tracks,"you're coming and that's final...I won't take no for an answer....be ready at eight I'll pick you up." She wanted to protest so opened her mouth to say something but closed it the minute she saw him raise his eyebrow at her. She begrudgingly left the room and slammed the door shut which left Sohail chuckling at her. 

"Oh Anum what are you doing to me?"
