SQUAD 5 SERIES - Playing With Fire (ON HOLD)

3) Aatharva

Aatharva's pov: (Back to present)

Just as we touched down Coimbatore she started to ignore me like I am some sort of plague. I was on a constant surveillance mode scanning the crowd as we passed through the terminals. I kept a constant physical contact with Krithi just in case of emergency. A hand on her back. She raised her eyebrows.

"Purely safety reasons" I said but it looked like she didn't believe me neither did I myself.

We walked out of the airport and I was on high alert. My hand travelled from her back to her waist. "Is it required for you to stand by me this close?"

"Yes to keep you safe darling" I said and she moved away few steps.

"We draw enough attention already you don't have to shadow my every step"

She hissed and folded her below her chest.

"We have not reached hospital yet, so this continues kiwi" I said and pulled her back to me covering the distance between us. She rolled her eyes.

Where is that f*cker? Why is not here to pick us on time? I tried calling the Bugger Aadhi.

Krithi then decided to head to nearby coffee shop to get some caffeine into her system. Now that she was busy going through the menu and waiting in the line to order. I took my own time to study her.

I hoped that in the 5 years she would become, you know slightly weary, gain a spare tire and lose some of her delicacy but the goddamn truth is she looked even more enticing now. Krithi has let her hair grow up to her waist. Back then she had it short and I hated it. Her face was now clear of pustules and she glowed like an angel in the gown. I could tell her breasts looked full and perky from the one vista she innocently gave me during the baggage clearance in Delhi airport. Good thing she was wearing my jacket now. She has gained weight like 1 or 2 pounds looking healthy and possessing curves just in right places. I could faintly outline her long slender shape of her legs through her dress. I suddenly remembered how she had them coiled around my hips and how I could not stop running my fingers over her velvety skin on that one fateful night. The white dress she was wearing now made me practically drool, as she walked back to him getting the coffee.

I scolded myself and tore my eyes from her. But no amount of my internal restraining could stop my body's reaction to her. Her presence made me want to act more carnal, almost animalistic to which I had no control. God help me I should not let her to affect me this way so much.

"There you are!" I spotted the bugger exactly at the right time his face bloomed into a smile seeing my Krithi.

"Aadhi.."

Krithi's smile reached her dark brown eyes. She gave exactly opposite reaction of smile when she saw me. It pissed me to great extent now thinking about it.

Bugger Aadhi wrapped Krithi in a hug that lifted her off the ground. A wave of anger passed through my veins.

Give me a gun already.

"Missed you Krithi!" Bugger smiled as he said those words.

"Save the pleasantries for later. Shall we move?" I asked and they both looked annoyed. Krithi started walking towards the car in advance.

"Keep your distance from her you will not end up having a broken arm"

I said to him with my eyes glued on Krithi. "Keys?" Aadhi passed it to me without any complaints and I walked ahead of him to the vehicle. He had his eyes on Krithi all the way.

This is not happening on my watch.

I turned towards him sudden. "Look I have a important task for you. I need you gather all the ongoing-investigation file cases from the headquarters and report to me exactly in 2 hours no better I will visit you there and hire a f*cking CAB! You are not coming with us."
