Chapter 20

"Was that really necessary?" asked Radhika when she confronted Krish at work the next day. "My mom was only suggesting you know."

It was a Monday morning and Krish and Radhika were standing outside the bathroom talking. Their date was in a couple of days.

"I loved her suggestion. What couldn't be better than to go on a date with the devil," said Krish rubbing his hands greedily.

"You are so bad," said Radhika, shaking her head. "I will get back at you for all this," said Radhika.

"Are you saying that you have malafide intentions when it comes to me?" teased Krish.

"No I.."

Krish smirked and suddenly he began walking towards her and then before she knew it, her back hit the mirror of the bathroom wall and she sat on the counter of the sink. Krish put both his hands on either side of her which blocked her from going anywhere.

Radhika looked at him petrified but her gaze also hitched as she got a good look at him up close. His shirt was slightly unbuttoned and his arms had muscles and veins popping out. A few strands of his hair brushed against her forehead and their noses touched.

Radhika knew that she was feeling attracted to him.

His eyes are so beautiful. What the hell am I doing? Radhika don't let yourself fall for his trap. Don't get close to him. Don't let yourself fall for his charms.

"Radha," he whispered and she closed her eyes.

Radhika placed both her hands on his shoulders and let her forehead touch his. His gaze suddenly softened as he looked at her facial expression.

Krish knew that behind the reserved and business savvy woman was just a very tender heart who if brutally messed around with, would break into a million pieces.

She's just too scared to love again. I'm going to show her that it's okay. Why? Because I've actually fallen for her. Yup, I like Radhika and this liking will eventually develop into love. Something about her tantrums and ego has caused me to fall in love with her. I will make her turn from an angry, uptight, aloof woman to a kind, calm, and innocent soul.  

Krish pressed his cheek against hers and she let out a sigh. He smirked.

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes and then suddenly, the atmosphere changed. Radhika cleared her throat and suddenly escaped out of his grasp. She ran towards the door and tried to open it.

"The door isn't opening," she said frantically.

"Move aside, let me see," Krish said.

He tried to pry the door open with all his strength but his efforts were futile. Radhika started to panic and she looked at Krish and he grinned at her.

"More bonding time!" he said, clapping like a five-year-old.

Radhika rolled her eyes and sat against the wall when Krish came and plopped down next to her.

Moments!

•••

Presentations were going on in the conference room and you could simultaneously hear toilet paper being ripped up into shreds as well as a really handsome guy singing in the bathroom while banging the doors of the toilet stalls together.

Krish was fooling around in the bathroom while Radhika was trying to figure out how to get someone's attention to open the door since everyone was busy in presentations and they didn't bring their phones.
