When The Ex Meets

3. Did We Really Broke up?

I was sitting there at my side desk, tracking the performances while Ryan was guiding our new trainees. We all were engrossed in our own works.

When he was told that he had to work extra hours for training the interns with me........ He was more than excited and I was more than just nervous with his excitement!!

But Maybe it wasn't that bad after all.

Too soon to come to any conclusion?

Soon, we wrapped up the training session and all the interns left.
I was still sitting at my desk, making their progress report when Ryan came and sat on the chair next to mine.
"Moon, let me see the Trainee's name List."
he said causally, taking the list out from my hand and carefully reading it along.

'Moon', that name came out from his mouth so naturally that he himself didn't realise it till he saw me staring blankly at his face.

"What?" he asked and it took him a while before he realise that he just called me with 'the name' he used to call when we were together.

"Oh." he suddenly became uncomfortable. "Sorry. I didn't realize." he added more to the awkwardness of the situation.

"Its okay." I meeked, avoiding any eye contact with the former person. Is it okay, if I just dig my grave right here?

I stood up from my place, "I think I'll finish the rest of my work in my cabin. Excuse me." And I made my way out from that place.

Even sitting at my cabin, in front of my own desk isn't helping me to concentrate on my work that lays on the table.
Why you have to invade my thoughts like this, Ryan?
I'm already fed up with all these!!
Let me work, for Lord's sake, that's what I'm here for, stupid!?!!

I pressed the sides of my head together and tried to focus again on my work.
But I'm again interrupted by the door knock.
"Yes, come in." I responded, almost getting irritated.

"Ma'am, News Director has send these files."

She handed them to me while I briefly went through it once, "Okay, thank you."

And she made her exit.
Wow, looks like now I have more files to complete!
Can my Life get more beautiful than this? (Hope you got the sarcasm there!)

I sighed. And got back to those papers.

5 minutes.
That's exactly the time period till another knock on my door disturbed the peace of this room.

"Yes?" I called out, half-heartedly.

And the door parted to reveal the charismatic face of him, The handsome-idiot.

He walked inside, closing the door behind him, "Can we talk? Please?"

"What do you wanna talk about?", I needed to keep my tone cold, cause I know very well how it gonna end otherwise.

"Is it seriously over for us, Sneha?" He stood in front of my desk, placing his hands on them while leaning forward towards my face.

"I think that's exactly what a break up means." I looked straight in his eyes. I need to put this to an end. I can't afford getting this much distracted in my job!

"I don't consider this as a break up! Don't you think a break up should be with the consent of both the person!"

"Don't come at me with that, Ryan. We already broke up and that's it!"

"Who said that we already broke up, huh?"

"I said that!" he was now getting on my nerves, seriously! "Look Ryan, I don't want to have anything related to you. So, you can just leave."

"Is that so?" He hitched up his eyebrow, taunting me. Its not a good sign at all. "Are you sure about it, that you don't want to have anything with me?"

And he made his way across the desk in one swift move, coming towards me, placing his both hands on my chair while minimizing the distance between us and trapping me in there.

My heartbeats became unsteady due to the sudden closeness. Our faces rest inches apart from each other, while his seemingly darker eyes were staring back at mine.

"If you really don't want anything with me, why did you stopped breathing just now?" He smirked.

I quickly recovered my breathing that I didn't even knew I was holding back before now. "I d-don't know w-what are you t-talking about." Oh, god-dammit stop stuttering!

"Yeah?" Why does his smirk seem more sinful now? "Then why are you even stuttering?"

Had you ever tried to talk when your mouth becomes completely dry? Trust me, its really hard!

He moved closer to my face and comes nearer to my ear, only to whisper "I didn't even touched you till now and look at your state, it gave up on all your lies!"

Blood rushed to my cheeks and I became all red. I always tend to loose in front of his teasings, and he seems to know it too!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door again. Thanks God! Thanks for letting me out of this situation!!

"I hope you know its not over yet."Ryan devilishly smiled at me before standing up straight again and moving back towards the other side of the desk.

I collected my senses back and responded to the knock "Come in."

"Ma'am, you need coffee?"

"No. Thanks." I tried to sound as calm as possible. But my heart was still beating like crazy!!
Why do you even do such useless things??!!

Ryan was still looking at me and smiling evilly from there. Bet he really enjoys these things!!

"Bring me coffee then." He turned to her, "I'll be at my cabin." And he smiled gently to her, where does this gentleman just popped out from?

He winked at me, before leaving the room.

I shook my head. This boy is definitely bipolar!!
