The Heart Thief♥

♥ CHAPTER 20 ♥

Bela's eyes widened with Mahir's act.
She asked, ' What was this? '

Mahir grinned, ' Don't you know? Should I repeat? '

Bela's cheeks had a slight pink tint hearing it.
She stammered, ' N..No need of that. Now, let's go to the washroom. I want to change my clothes. '

Mahir said, ' Umm, Bela, Change the clothes tomorrow. Already it's night time. For now, I am very hungry. Let's go to the kitchen. '

Bela nodded.

Both went to the kitchen.

( Kitchen )

Bela asked, ' So what should we cook? '
Mahir replied, ' I think noodles will be best for now. '

Bela agreed and both started making noodles.

After cooking, they sat on the stool in the kitchen to eat.

Mahir was trying hard to eat with left hand as his right hand was locked. But in vain.

Bela laughed seeing his condition.

Mahir pouted, ' Bela, this is not fair. Here, I am hungry and you are making fun of me.'

Bela controlled her laugh and said, ' Sorry! '

Mahir smirked, ' Only a sorry will not do. You have to feed me as a part of your punishment. '

Bela smiled and fed Mahir.
While Mahir was eating, Bela was only drinking juice.

Mahir noticed that and asked, ' Bela, why are you not eating? '

Bela said, ' I am not hungry, Mahir. '

Mahir cupped her cheek and said, ' Bela, don't try to lie when you know that you can't. '

Mahir's eyes fell on the wound near her lips and he understood that it might be paining.

Mahir caressed his thumb lightly on it and asked, ' Is it paining? '

Bela lowered her gaze and whispered, ' Hmm.'

Mahir held her waist and pulled her closer. Their face were almost touching.

Mahir rubbed his nose gently on her cheek.

Bela's heart was beating as if it will explode due to the proximity.
She held his shoulder tightly due to nervousness.

Mahir brought his lips closer to hers. Bela's breath hitched in the throat and she closed her eyes.

Mahir smirked seeing her reaction.
He moved his lips towards the cut near the corner of her lips and kissed it gently.

Bela relaxed a bit and opened her eyes.
Mahir winked, ' Is it still paining? '

Bela realised that in this whole thing she totally forgot about her wound.
Her cheeks were red by now.

She smiled at the way Mahir diverted her attention and nodded her head negatively.

Both finished the noodles and returned to the bedroom to sleep.

Bela asked, ' So, how are we going to sleep?'

Mahir replied, ' Bela, you sleep on the bed. I'll sit on these stairs. '

Bela said angrily, ' What? Are you trying to say that you're going to sit on these stairs for whole night?'

Mahir gulped seeing angry Bela but still nodded.

Bela softened a bit and said, ' No need to do such thing. Yesterday night also we both didn't sleep due to all that drama. And I know you're tired. So sleep on the bed with me. But we will put pillows in between to maintain a decent distance. Okay? '

Mahir agreed and they both slept putting the pillows in between.

Next Morning,
Mahir woke up as the sunlight fell on his face.
He felt a weight on his chest and saw that Bela was sleeping keeping her head on his chest and hugging him tightly from his waist.
The pillow wall was a long gone thing!

Mahir smiled to his fullest seeing the sight in front of him.

He pulled the string of the curtains that were hanging above the bed to prevent the sunlight falling on Bela's face.

He caressed her hairs and thought, ' I should definitely thank that stupid goon for locking you with me. If this is how I'll get a chance wake up, seeing your angelic face, then I wish we never get the key of this lock.'

After a while, Bela opened her eyes and found herself caged in Mahir's arms.
She saw that Mahir hadn't even moved from his place. It was she who was clinging on him.

She moved her face upwards and saw that Mahir was staring her intensely.

' Sorry, I,  I didn't realise that I...', whispering this she tried to get up but Mahir pulled her with a force and she crashed on his chest again!
