43 : The Best Buddies Spat

Siya's Pov

I thought attending a meeting with a foreign client or making dinner for ten people was stressful, but having a normal conversation with your friends while having your husband's massive hand on your thigh comes closer to nothing.

I was having a hard time concentrating on what Rishi and Ananya were talking about as Kanishk's hand on my thigh just kept coming closer and closer to where I had never been touched before and it was making it hard for me to comprehend any words whereas Kanishk was sitting relaxed on his chair having an easy conversation with them.

That monster.

I kept my hand on his and tried to remove it again but he would always just put it back there and acts as if nothing happened, I would give him a glare and he would just give me a teasing smile.

"Kanishk!" I whispered and he looked at me.

"Are you okay babe? You don't look good," He says as if he doesn't know that his hand on my thigh was making me feel all sorts of things.

"Yeah Siya, are you okay?" Rishi asked, who actually looked concerned meanwhile Ananya was hiding her smile behind her hand.

"Yeah, fine, I'm totally fine," I squeaked as Rishi looked at me confused, I gave a last glare at Kanishk before removing his hand from my thigh and before he could keep it back again I stood up, "Excuse me, I need to use the washroom," I say and Ananya stands up too.

"I'm coming too," she declares.

"Together?" Kanishk asks and before I can say anything Rishi interrupts.

"Don't you know, girls always go together, it's like their women's language," he says.

"Really? Which women did you see, may I know?" Ananya asks which shuts Rishi up immediately.

"I was talking about you of course, who else women is there to talk about in my life," Rishi says and Ananya gives him a last look as we walk towards the washroom.

"So, what was happening back there?" Ananya asks as soon as we enter the washroom and I look at myself in the mirror, my cheeks are flushed, and a shy smile is plastered on my face, and my thigh tingled at the very spot Kanishk had kept his hand on, I was wearing a dress, and the material wasn't exactly thick, so I could feel every inch of his hand holding onto my thigh.

"Nothing," I say, but I knew she didn't take me seriously with the teasing smile on her face.

"Really? I thought I saw something back there," she says.

"I'm so new to all this Ananya, I- I don't even know how I'm feeling or what I'm doing and what if he-"

"Okay, first, calm down," Ananya says, stopping me mid-sentence and I take a long breath and face her, "First of all. it's Kanishk," she says as if pronouncing his name answers all my questions.

"What are you saying?" I ask and she smiles.

"I have known him since college Siya, that man might be bold and romantic right now, but you should have seen him in college, he was the most introverted person I knew," she answers, "And Rishi was totally the opposite, that's why I tease them, you know, opposite attracts and all," she says laughing and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"One day, I want you to tell me all your stories," I say and she nods smiling.

"But what I'm actually trying to say here is Siya, that it's Kanishk, he has the same experience as you, so stop worrying about what he will think and what he will do and how to react and all, because he is like that only for you," Ananya says and I feel a calmness fall over me, a comfortable one.
