Love Me Like You Do

chapter 5

It's very quiet. The light is muted. I'm comfortable and warm, in this bed. I open my eyes, and for a momenty, I have no idea where I'm. The headboard behind me is in the shape of the massive sun. The room is large and airy. Oh shit. I'm in Shravan's room. How did I get here?

I glance at the bedside table. On it is a glass of orange juice and two tablets with the note "Eat me " and "drink me".

There's a knock on the door. My heart leaps into my mouth and I can't find my voice, Shravan enters the room after his morning run.

Shravan: Good morning, how are you feeling?

Suman : Better than I deserve. Did you put me to bed ?

Shravan: mm-hmm

Suman : Did you undressed me ?

Shravan : I didn't have much choice.

Suman: where did you sleep?

He points to the space next to time in bed.

Suman : oh, my God. Did we...? We didn't...?

Shravan : necrophilia is not my thing.

Suman : so we just slept then?

Shravan : It was novelty for me too.

Shravan : you need to eat. That's why you were so ill. Honestly Suman, it's drinking rule number one.

Suman : Are you going to continue to scold me?

Shravan : Is that what I'm doing?

Suman : I think so.

Shravan : you are lucky I'm just scolding you.

Suman : what that's mean?

Shravan: well if you were mine, you wouldn't able to sit down for a week after the stunt you pulled yesterday. You didn't eat, you got drunk , you put yourself at risk.

He closed his eyes. When he opens his eyes he glared at me. "I hate to think what could happened to you "

Suman : I would have been fine. I was with Preeti.

Shravan : And the photographer.
He snaps at me.

Suman : Aditya just got out of line.

Shravan : well the next time he gets out of line, maybe someone should teach him some manners.

I'm going to have shower. Unless you want to have shower first?

Suman : why I'm here, Shravan ?

(Shravan stands by the bathroom doorway)

Shravan : you are here because I'm incapable of leaving you alone.

Suman : then don't. Why did you send me those books?

Shravan: I thought I owed you an apology.

Suman : For what? For letting you believe that I..... Listen to me

Shravan sits next to me on bed.

Shravan : I don't do romance. My taste are very singular. You wouldn't understand.

Suman : Enlighten me then.

Shravan touches my face tenderly, he leans to kiss me but stop himself and walks into the bathroom.

I walks out of the bathroom wearing the clothes that Taylor bought for me.

Shravan : you look beautiful.

Suman : Taylor has good taste.

Shravan : what are you doing later?

Suman : I'm working at the hardware store till seven.

Shravan : I'll have Taylor pick you up then.

I bite my lip and looks down

Shravan : I'd love to bite that lip.

Suman : I think I'd like that too.

Shravan : I'm not going to touch you, not until I have your written consent.

Suman : what?

Shravan : I'll explain later. Come, I'll take you home.

We walk in silence down the corridor towards the elevator. As we wait, I peek up at him through my lashes and he looks out of the corner of his eyes down at me.

The elevator arrives, we step in. We are alone. Suddenly, for some reason, possibly our proximity in such an enclosed space, the atmosphere between us changes. My heart races I bite my lip.

Shravan : F***k the paperwork.

Pushing me against the wall of the elevator. Before I know it, he got both of my hands in one of his and he is pinning me to the wall using his lips. His other hand grabs my ponytail and yanks down, bringing my face up, and his are on mine. He takes full advantage, his tongue expertly exploring my mouth. I have never been kissed like this.

The elevator stops, the door open, and he pushes away from me in the blink of an eye, leaving me hanging. Three men in business suit look at both of us and smirk.

I glanced up at him. He looks so cool and calm. Is he totally unaffected by my presence? He looks at me out of the corner of his eyes, and gently blows out a deep breath. Oh he's affected. The business men exit on the second floor. We have one more floor to travel.

Shravan : You've brushed your teeth.

He says, staring at me.

Suman : I used your tooth brush.

His lips quirk up in a half smile.

Shravan : oh, Suman, what I'm going to do with you.
The door open at the first floor, and he takes my hand and pull me out.
