Melting Hearts

Part 70 - Cubicle full of roses

***Sahana's P. O. V***

With my cheeks still burning, I came to a halt only when I recognized Arush's car parked a couple of feet away from my home.

And just then, my phone beeped and I was sure that it was from my dragon.

'Wait for me at the cafe near your house' - It read, and as I'd guessed, the message was from my own dragon. Though I blushed at the thought of a date with him, it also made me feel very anxious - would I be able to keep my cool the whole day after having a date with him?

But then again, I chuckled to myself at the mental debate I was having - I was behaving as though I had a choice!! When my asshole boyfriend wants something, he always gets it... And blushing at that thought, I made my way to the cafe right at the corner of the street.

I'd just taken my seat inside the busy cafe and pulled out my phone when I got that familiar whiff of his cologne. I shot my gaze to the door and sure enough Arush was there, making his way towards me.

His hungry gaze was stuck on mine and his beautiful lips curved into a smile as he finally stopped right in front of me.

"Sit na?" I said, Wonder why he just stood there as though contemplating his next move.

"No I'm just wondering... Shall I sit next to you and hold you in my arms, or sit in front of you and gaze at you" Arush said thoughtfully, his hands stuffed deep into his pockets.

The blatant way in which he uttered those words made me blush, and chuckling, he took the seat facing me.

"I'd watch my love like this and..." He trailed off putting his right hand on my left one and added "...and touch her like this" and winked.

And for the nth time just that morning, I blushed scarlet...matching the color of my cheeks to the color of my dress.

"You look exceptionally phenomenal everyday but today.... You look like a red rose... My red rose" Arush said, caressing the back of my hand with his thumb and gazing intently at me.

"T...t...thanks" I stuttered, my gaze stuck on his intense passionate one.

"What's the color of your dress? Dark red? Deep red? Or just red?" Arush asked, his eyes all over my dress.

"M...m.. maroon" I stuttered, feeling his gaze stuck on my chest.

He just nodded in response before smiling warmly at me, and yet again, blood rose to my cheeks.

"So, what do you want to have? You didn't eat breakfast properly back at home" he said softly, brushing his lips to the back of my hand.

"Huh? Oh n...n....no I'm full no" I stuttered under his gaze.

Though he smiled warmly, yet there was a passionate something in his eyes that told me if he had his way neither of us would be here, but probably in his room, as he had his way with me.

And yet again I blushed scarlet at the thought, and maybe Arush understood what was going on in my mind because he smirked amidst his smile.

"All in good time my love .. now tell me what you'll have.. at least coffee??" He asked, brushing his lips to the back of my hand again.

Not trusting my voice, I just nodded my head in approval, and chuckling a little, Arush dashed off to place the order at this self service cafe.

I turned in my seat just enough to be able to look at my man, who had his back to me as he shot his order.

I took my time to check him out - that was a well fitting suit and damn he looked so hot in it!! My gaze travelled lower and lower, taking in his broad back, his strong arms and finally landing on his tushy.
