IF LOVE WAS EASY.......

JOG AT THE BEACH

MEERA POV

I got up early and went for a run to clear my mind. I was running non stop even though my body begged me to stop. But I just wanted to run away from everything, every questions, every memories, every pain.......

As I was running, I was so tired that my body again begged me to stop but mind refused. But soon my body won and I rested on a rock on a beach.

But my peace was momentary, the very source of my problem stood in front of me with a bottle of energy drink and a smile to melt Himalayas.

"Come on have it" Siddhanth said giving me the energy drink.

When I failed to give any reaction but kept looking at him with wide eyes and open mouth he again said,"Close your mouth Meera.... Mosquito might enter it"

I quickly shut my mouth but words refused to come out of my throat. I couldn't believe that Siddhanth was standing in front of me all sweaty from morning work out. He looked hot as a volcano and his dimples..... God........

Adding to his appeal was his black Nike shorts and grey army print lose sleeveless pullover, black shoes, which had put his long arms and legs on display. He was rather fit for a person who spent his entire day with paper work. His well muscled tanned arms and sweat sprayed on them was driving me crazy, and was giving me weird ideas.

SIDDHANTH'S LOOK

His clothes were sticking to his chest due to his sweat and that just defined his muscles with ultra clarity and left little to imagination. Looking at him was like admiring a fine renascences statue, with not even a single flaws. I was really amazed at his well kept body.

But my trance was broken when he again said,"If you have finished checking me out, then have the drink. You will like it, it's your favorite flavor"

"No thanks..... I am OK...." I finally managed to say and tried to go from there. But Siddhanth was too quick for me, he stopped me holdings my wrist.

"What happened Meera, why are you so touchy. Have I said or done anything to offend you." Siddhanth asked asked innocently.

But his simple touch was sending chill down my spine.

"It's nothing like that..... it's just that I am getting late."I said stammering.

"OK fine than I will drop you. It will be better than walking' Siddhanth said.

I had no argument to counter him so I had no other option than to go with him.

But as soon as I reached his car, my breath was caught in my lungs. It was a Porsche....! Who the hell comes to jog in a Porsche........ he is really insane.

But as soon as he opened the door I was more scared. It was just perfection, I was scared that I would soil it. But soon my fear was replaced with something else. In my nervousness to not to soil the seat I didn't consider the fact of being cozed in with him in this close place.

Being there in a close space with him cut off from rest of the world made me aware of the most insignificant things which she wouldn't have otherwise noticed, like his left thumb had 2 stitch marks, he got 2 white hairs at back of his head, his soap had a hint of sandle, he had some kind of wild tattoo on his left chest......

As my thoughts were going in much wilder direction I decided to look at everything other than him. The ride back was a silent one. But soon I realized that he had taken a wrong turn and an unknown fear gripped me. I tried to tell him, but that came out as a shout, he seemed offended. I didn't intent to shout on him. He just left me at my flat and I went away.

I wanted to say sorry but he was gone.......

SIDDHANT POV

I was in gym when I got the report from my private investigator that Meera was jogging along the beach. Seeing her in tight fitting jog pants and pullover just compelled me to reach the beach. I was like a moth attracted to fire, which had no will of its own.

When I saw her there, resting on the rock with her sleeveless grey pullover and tight capre, I felt myself harden within seconds. I couldn't control my reaction to her, it was like a teenager looking at his crush again, I was a grown man for god sake and had an active sexual life.

When I saw the reactions of few men passing by and saw them slow down, I quickly covered her. She was shocked seeing me there would be an understatement. She was looking at me with mouth wide open and eyes almost ready to come out of its sockets.

Just to say something I offered her my energy drink, which was her favorite flavor, I knew that and again got angry on myself for remembering such small details about her still, but one can't choose what to remember.......

But she quickly declined it and tried to run away, the best she did always but I was too quick for her this time, I didn't come to this god forsaken beach just to be brushed off like these.

I got hold of her hands and stopped her and asked, "What happened Meera, why are you so touchy? Have I said or done anything to offend you?"

To this she just stammered and made an excuse of getting late. But I was not ready to leave her yet, I wanted my plan to be done with quickly, so I offered her a ride home which she couldn't refuse.

But when she entered my Audi R8, I realized my mistake. Just two of us in a closed space was very dangerous for my senses. As soon as I started the car her natural fragrance mixed with her sweat started to assault me. It was like a punch in my guts, and my reaction to was instant. Still today I never believed the theory that each person has unique smell and that attracts their mates, in humans too..... here her smell without trace of any perfume was driving me crazy....

She too wasn't very comfortable. In her nervousness she was continuously biting her lower lips and rubbing her hands between her legs. For god's sake I wished to shout out loud, "For heaven sake please stop biting your lips, its driving me crazy. If you don't stop now than I will finish that for you. Stop your hands between your legs, I will tie them up by the bed and start rubbing your......."

I just stopped my thoughts going in that direction, it was very dangerous. Thus in my own thoughts I took a wrong turn. But she corrected me and broke my trance.

"STOP...... Where are you going it's a wrong turn" she said.

I said sorry and decided to concentrate again on the road, which was a really difficult with her beside me.

Before I did something stupid i just ran away from there like a coward. She was calling me but I didn't care .

REALLY SORRY GUYS FOR BEING LATE, I HAD AUDIT LINED UP AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TAKE OUT TIME....... SORRY AGAIN
