46: The Emotional Ride

Siya's Pov

The day was going well, Kanishk was with me until the evening, he joined me in one of my meetings in the board room and everyone was shocked when they saw that the business tycoon Kanishk Kapoor was joining them in the meeting...let's say the meeting was a bit louder and unexpected with everyone trying to impress my husband with their new ideas whereas Kanishk was bored as he held my hand during the entire meeting, drawing some random patterns on my hand.

That was until he got a call and my mood went from the happiest to the saddest. 

"I have to leave for LA for a week," he says, after finishing the call and I look at him shocked.

"You're going out of the country?" I ask, my mood turning sour.

"I have to, I can't miss this, it's a huge project, I can't ignore this one," he says and walks towards me and holds my hands, "Why don't you join me?" he asks.

"What will I do going there? You will be out doing your meetings, I will get bored sitting alone in the room," I say.

"Yes, but think about when I will get back from the meeting, just the two of us on a romantic date and-"

"I would love to go Kanishk-" I say and see his face curious, "But, I can't," I say.

"Why not?"

"Well, I gave you one of my reasons, and the project I'm doing with Mr. Juan, will start in two days, I have to prepare for the inauguration and everything, I can't just leave everything and go," I state my reason and he nods his head in understanding.

"You're right, you cannot ignore the project," he says and takes my hand, kissing the backside of my hands, "And I'm sorry I cannot be there when you physically start the project, I know it's very important to you and I won't be here a-"

"Hey, it's okay, don't apologize," I say and pull him in for a hug, keeping my head on his chest, listening to his soothing heartbeats, "You'll be back next week, we will plan something big that day," I say, trying to cheer him up.

I feel one of his hands circle my waist and the other one go to my head, pushing me more into him, his rich woody smell, making me feel butterflies in my stomach, "Definitely," he says and continues, "I think you should wear that black lingerie to welcome me home," he teases as I chuckle, and hit him lightly on his back.

"Is it? And what else do you want as your welcome-back present?" I ask.

"Look, I'm a very low expectations kind of guy, so nothing extraordinary, just you, in that black lingerie, welcoming me back home, with your usual beautiful smile is enough for me," he says and I blush, and hide myself in his embrace.

"That's all? And what are your plans after that?" I ask.

"You really wanna know? I have no problem, I can start right now," he says, his voice teasing and I chuckle.

"Sure, but first, I want to change, you can tell me later," I say and try to break the hug, which was quite a difficult task, given, that Kanishk didn't let go of my waist.

"Later," he says, pulling me back in a hug, "I will miss you so much," he says, hiding his face in the crook of my neck, smelling my hair.

"We just got back from the office, at least let me freshen up," I say, trying to break the hug, as much as I wanted to stay in his embrace and never leave, I wanted to get cleaned up, I feel sweaty and untidy.

"Okay," he says, finally, leaving me, "Come on, I'll help," he says later and my eyes go wide when he pulls me towards the washroom, with him following me.
