Hidden Alliance

Chapter 9 *Caught in the lion's den*

After gathering a lot of courage, Alvira turned her face towards Asher. He had a smirk on his face.

"Damn Asher, why do you have to look so hot and cute?" She thought.

"Shut up Avi, stop drooling over him and focus" She mentally gave herself a shut up call.

"Finally you are awake sleepyhead. Come on now get fresh. I have ordered the food in the room. We need to get ready for the movie after having dinner as well." Alvira pretended to be completely normal.

In return Asher chose to nod his head. He didn't want to embarrass Alvira at that time. He had plans for later. It was a blissful moment for him too. For now he wanted to cherish Alvira's touch only. On hearing a knock Alvira went to open the door and soon she was back with the food. She kept the plate in front of Asher and it was then the reality struck her .Asher's right hand was bandaged and there was no chance he could use that for anything. Alvira was now cursing herself that she landed in this situation herself.

Asher was just observing her expressions. He always loved how whatever was going in her mind could be seen through her expressions. She could never hide her emotions and that's what Asher adored the most. After thinking for a minute, Alvira quietly took the plate in her hand and after filling the spoon with rice, she brought the spoon near Asher's lips. She was not even looking at him. Asher opened his mouth like an obedient child.

"We need to finish this and get ready As soon as possible. We are missing since Afternoon and god knows what stories the family would have made up about us." She was continuously speaking while eating. She would eat one morsel herself and feed the next one to Asher. After finishing the dinner, she kept the trolley aside.

"Asher I am going to change, for the movie. Call Sameer and ask him to come and help you get dressed. Don't shower for now. I will first consult the doctor and then we'll see if you can take shower or not." She left after giving these instructions to him.

Alvira entered her room and the first thing she did was to open up the suit case to get her clothes out. She was confused now about what to wear because she didn't discuss the theme with her girls. After thinking for 5 minutes, she took out a black top and light blue jeans. She chose to wear minimal makeup and left her hair open. After checking herself in the mirror for the last time she grabbed her cell phone and went straight to Asher's room. Lost in her thoughts she opened the door without knocking.

Asher was standing in front of the mirror, trying to wear his shirt. Due to the injury he was unable to use his one hand. Alvira face palmed herself after seeing him like this and quickly came to help him.

"Asher I asked you to call Sameer for your help. But you never listen to me. If you'll call someone for help then the hero inside you would get offended right? "She said sarcastically while helping him wear the shirt. She then started buttoning the shirt without even realizing that they were standing very close and in a scandalous position. She was so lost in Asher.

On the other hand, Asher took this perfect opportunity to admire her closely. He was sheepishly smiling on Alvira's innocence.

"This girl is crazy. She can be graceful and sophisticated for the world but whenever she is with him, she acts all cranky and crazy." He thought.

Alvira was on the last button when suddenly she heard a cough. Their attention was shifted  on the other 3 humans standing in the room now. Amara Zara and Minahil were looking for Alvira and since Alvira forgot to close the door, they came inside without knocking

"Alvira is so busy with someone that she even forgot that we exist too" Amara pretended to talk to Minahil. Alvira laughed on her drama. She was still oblivious of the fact that her friends saw her buttoning Asher's Shirt and they were already giving her their signature dirty looks. She was engrossed in Asher only. After buttoning his Shirt, she was now styling his Hair.

"Oh please, there is no need for the drama ok? He is injured and I am just helping him drama queens" She said while combing Asher's hair.

"Finally Mr. Ashi, you are ready now. Check yourself in the mirror and see if everything is perfect." Alvira said while stepping away from Asher.

Asher glanced on his reflection in the mirror. He never loved his appearance, to this extent before today.

"Perfect" He showed a thumbs up to Alvira.

"Perfect" Alvira repeated his words.

"Come on girls .lets go now" Alvira commanded but the moment she was about to walk away, Asher held her wrist once again.

The reality finally hit her. She was so lost that she didn't Calculated the consequences of becoming so close to this man. She was brought back to the real world after she felt Asher's touch...

"Can you give us 5minutes beautiful ladies?" Asher asked the girls with a smirk. He was still holding Alvira's wrist.

"SURE" They said in union and left the room after winking at Alvira.

Alvira was now stuck in the lion's den. And she walked in voluntarily. He would not leave her this time and that was evident in his eyes. She was unable to breath properly.
