She was in a trance, she didn't move she could get lost in those eyes that captivated her. 'come on Kartik place her down' his mind thought. he could feel his palm getting slightly sweaty against her upper back, the blouse was in a bad state otherwise how was it that he could feel most of her back? Now he was feeling confused how would he place her down on the ground without her revealing too much, he felt slightly panicked.
'say something your just stood there holding..'
"Sir?" she called when his glaze wondered in front to the wall looking like he was in deep thought. "Hmm?" he turned and he saw her expression..'put her down already Kartik!
"oh yes.." she held his blazer in front of her.. "ok easy"... he said placing her down gently on her feet, she gently loosen her grip around his neck. They both stood facing each other.. there was an awkward silence in the room..
"sir i.."
"Of course silly me.. you get changed and then I will drop you home.. I think you've had enough drama for one day" he chuckled nervously, she smiled back politely. "ok so if you would..." she said hinting to him.. but he didn't get it..
"I will just make myself decent and then we can go?"
"oh of course yes.. I will just go wash room you um... do your thing " he said running his fingers through his hair, and then left to go to the washroom. Once she heard the door shut she removed the blazer and placed it on the bed. She began to adjust her sari, she pleated the part that was messy. her mind wondered.. 'is it me or was he nervous?' she shook her head to her silly thoughts as she tucked the sari in and made it presentable. Then she heard the door click..
'oh crap I'm in my own thoughts hurry up and sort the blouse out why did you adjust the sari first. '
she quickly took his blazer and held it in front again. Kartik came out, he saw she was still not ready so he went to the other side of the room with his back against her and pretended to be busy with his phone. She didn't say anything, she just stayed focus, she placed the blazer next to her on the dressing table and then adjusted the blouse, she pulled the string.. but where was the string to the other side.. she kept trying to find it, with one hand holding the blouse up and the other searching for it behind her back.. but it was no use she kept grabbing empty air
'oh no only one string how will I tie this blouse up?.. think Naira!
Kartik sighed loudly.. 'oh seems he is becoming bored and impatient... what shall I do? This is not a good situation.. I need to do something quick.
She was hesitant whilst he was turned to the other side but she had to say something she really didn't know what else to do.
"Sir um.. I can't reach the string of the blouse.. could you please um possibly direct me please?" He turned around he saw her stood there with her hair in the front to her right side her one hand holding his blazer up in place, his eyes couldn't help but fall on her exposed back. He started to feel in body heat go up,
'get a grip she's asking for your help' "sure.. I'll just s-see" She could feel his foot prints coming towards her. He went to see why she couldn't he came behind her, her back was almost naked from up to waist down he swallowed hard seeing her so revealing. his fingertips felt tingly. He looked down and saw one part of the blouse string on the floor 'oh no the whole blouse tie is ripped' he picked it up there was no way he could attach that. She kept reaching from behind as she tried to reach it but instead she pulled his hand, her, 'uh oh' her eyes widen in shock and embarrassment, he saw his fingers in her grip, how beautifully neat painted her nails looked. "sorry sir" she quickly let go of his hand.
