Destined To Be (Ongoing)

chapter 19

Haaris was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice me staring at him..

I silently walked past him into the small library cum study.
There were many books lined up in the bookshelves and a reclining chair was kept at the corner.

It was a small room.

I took out a book and started to read..

I absolutely love reading..
It's my only resort to all my problems and negative thinking..

I don't know when I fell asleep reading with the book resting on my lap..
I jumped up when someone cleared their throat loudly..

I looked up to find Haaris standing in the middle of the door, staring down at me with a glint of amusement in his eyes..

I hurriedly sat up and fixed my stole which had fallen down from my shoulders on the chair..

"Umm.. I guess it's late.. You are really tired and should get some sleep.
Please go and sleep on the bed. "

I stared at him in shock..

"Don't worry.. I'll sleep on the couch. "
He said hastily realising my concern..

"But you wouldn't fit on the couch.. It's too small for you. "
I blurted out without thinking looking at his six feet tall frame..

He was at a loss of words for a while and just stared at me..
I averted my gaze and was too embarrassed and just look at the floor.

I quickly went to the bedroom following Haaris..
He picked up a pillow and a comforter and left..

I sat down on the bed after he was gone and let out a sigh of relief.

I climbed into the bed and wrapped myself in the duvet...

I was ready to fall into a deep slumber...

But sleep was far, far away from my eyes...
