Destined To Be (Ongoing)

chapter 24

I woke up at about 6..
It had stopped raining now..
I breathed a sigh of relief..
I was still finding it hard to open my eyes.. It was as if I had slept so peacefully after a long time.. But i had to get up or I would miss fajr.

I struggled to get out of the bed trying to open my eyes and failed.
It was as if something heavy was holding me back.
I felt a weight around my waist.

I opened my eyes and gasped..

I was facing Haaris and we were too close to each other.
My left hand was held tightly by him while my right hand was on his shoulder.

His other hand was wrapped around my waist.

I immediately removed my hand from his shoulder..
His face was so close to me that I could feel his warm breath fanning my face..

I slowly removed his hand from my waist , all the while trying not to wake him up..

I slowly got up from the bed and into the washroom..
As usual I prayed fajr and looked at Haaris..
He was still asleep which I was grateful for..
After that I climbed into the bed and went to sleep again.

This time careful to maintain distance..

****

After Haaris left for his work after breakfast, which I made.. I decided to do something productive..

CLEANING...

I started with the kitchen as it was going to take the most time..

I didn't know how time flew by..

After hours and hours of work, I finally felt tired and fell on the chair in the kitchen and closed my eyes..

The kitchen was squeaky clean..

I was satisfied as my efforts didn't go in vain..

Somebody cleared their throat and I jumped up.

It was Haaris.

"What the.... " I thought to myself..

I didn't expect him to be back so soon..

He was looking at me with an amused look..
I was confused and then I realized what he was staring at..

I looked down at myself.
I was wearing one of his old black T-shirt and his grey sweat pants were tugged up and came only upto my knees.

My hair was up in a messy bun with some strands sticking out at weird places..

I was drenched in sweat...

To sum it up..
I looked like shit.

"What have you been doing? I told you my maid has taken some time off and will return by Monday.. You don't have to do all this! "
Haaris said looking at me, a small smile tugging at his lips...

I smiled awkardly and shook my head...

"It's... It's no big deal.. I like cleaning.. It helps me clear my head. "

I said looking everywhere but at him.

I lowered my gaze and looked at the floor, suddenly finding it very interesting..

I slowly looked up to find him standing just in front of me.

My breath stuck in my throat seeing him standing so close to me..

He towered over my short form and was looking at me intently..

Slowly he brought his hand upto my face and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear which was stuck on my face ..

I shivered and closed my eyes..

"My clothes look better on you. "
He whispered in my ear sending chills down my spine.

My eyes widened but I quickly regained my composure and took steps back from him creating distance.

"I.. uh.. I have to go shower... "

I said quickly and ran towards the washroom hearing him chuckle behind me..

Oh God...!!!

What just happened!!!
