'What are you doing?' Monica asked sternly. Eshaan gulped and turned around. He hid the glass behind him.
'Nothing.' He tried to sound confident. Monica folded her arms and eyed him. Eshaan frowned.
'What?' – He shrugged and then smiled, - 'Don't stare at my body.' He leaned against the slab. When he pointed out Monica realized he was shirtless. She ran her gaze over his body. His body has become much toned than before. Eshaan smirked noticing her hazel eyes turning dark as she eyed his body.
'What? Go.' Eshaan said and Monica straightened. She looked dazed.
'Yeah, yeah.' She made a face and turned around. She was about to go but paused and turned around. She watched his back and heard the sound of metal clicking.
Still, he didn't answer my question – She thought, eyeing his back. She opened her mouth to talk but dropped the idea.
He will taunt me again and I can't bear his stupid grin – She thought annoyed. Then, she walked away.
She entered her room and got in the bed. She lay on her side and covered her body, till her waist with the duvet. She closed her eyes and made herself comfortable. Soon, she was fast asleep
*******************
Very sneakily Eshaan pushed open the door, luckily, she had kept it ajar, and entered the room. He tiptoed towards her bathroom. He pressed his lips tightly and held his breath as he twisted the doorknob and opened the door. He turned and looked at Monica. She had her back facing him and was breathing steadily. Slowly, he turned around and walked inside.
In the dark, he had some trouble searching for her face wash. Finally, he found it. He uncapped the face wash and smirked devilishly as he poured the colored water into it. Luckily, the bottle was opaque and so she won't notice.
Eshaan had heard her over the phone that tomorrow is an important Photoshoot. He covered the bottle and placed it back on the shelf and closed the mirror cabinet. He turned around and took a deep breath.
Now, I will see how you attend the photoshoot – Eshaan smiled folding his arms.
Eshaan stepped out just then Monica turned to face the bathroom. He paused and only after he was assured she was still asleep he moved. As he walked past her bed he paused when his gaze fell on her sleeping figure. Her eyes were closed, lips slightly parted and breathing was steady. Now, that his eyes got adjusted to the darkness he noticed her features. As always, she looked very beautiful. He walked up to her and stood beside her. She took a deep breath and continued to sleep. He noticed her shiver slightly and noticed the duvet had slipped off her. Very carefully, he lifted the duvet and pulled it up. He covered her properly and smiled seeing a small smile appear on her lips. As soon as his smile appeared it faded as well.
What are you doing, Eshaan? This Monica isn't the same as before. Now, she is Kabir's mistress. – Eshaan inhaled sharply. The thought of her being with Kabir hurt him badly. He turned his head and blinked his eyes repeatedly. Then, without sparing a glance at her he walked out of the room.
In his room, Eshaan walked up to the window and opened the pane. The weather was humid, yet he doesn't move. He leaned against the wall and stared out of the window. Looking at the towering building in front of him, he recollected the first time he had seen Monica. The first time they had kissed and the first time they had sex. Everything was so rosy.
A frown appeared on his face. He felt stupid.
Why do I think of the past? - He thought annoyed. Every time he thinks of the past he feels like time traveling and hitting his head with a hammer.
