A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 14

*Anitha Pov*

I opened my eyes not because I don't want to sleep for a bit more but because of the biological clock that got adjusted and also I need to go back to the hotel this early to not get caught.

I turned around on the bed to face him with a smile even though feeling uncomfortable to be wearing the same clothes from the morning instead of nightclothes.

Somehow, we managed to finish the food and return to his flat but when he asked me to sleep on the bed while he will sleep on the couch which can be just called as extended chair, I asked him to just lie down on the bed.

It was big enough to leave the space and he slept off at the corner of the bed and I did the same. It can be a bit weird as we already kissed then why are we so awkward to each other.

But I know he doesn't like me or anything and that kiss just happened. I wish we kissed when he actually likes me and a bit disappointed but still I am happy with this too.

He didn't look unaffected by it and I still remember how he kept on glancing at me after that and I had to smile while coming over the shock.

"Are you going to leave with a note even this time?" I got startled hearing his voice and he opened his eyes to stare at me.

"You were not sleeping?" I asked him feeling a bit embarrassed to get caught while staring at his sleeping form.

"I need to wake up within an hour and somehow couldn't sleep deeply even though this was not the first time we shared a bed." He replied smiling.

"Maybe because I was holding you at that time and this time just staying at the corner is the difference." He added and I laughed hearing that.

"Are you flirting with me right now?" I asked and he nodded.

"Was it bad? I never have done it before." He replied and I shook my head.

"I just don't want you to do something just because you need to follow the situation. I know you don't like me and I am actually not expecting anything." I assured him.

He stared at me in silence after hearing that before shifting closer to me and lifted his hand to caress my cheek.

"Then why am I not feeling guilty about yesterday? I am not confessing that I like you right now as I didn't sort out what I was thinking or anything else. But don't think it happened just without any reason or it would have happened if there was anyone else at your place. It happened because it was you beside me." He explained and at that moment I know I am falling for him again even though he is not the type I thought him to be all these years and actually something more.

"So, you don't have this expression just when you look at my cooking or when I talk about the cooking details?" he asked lifting his finger to trace my eyelashes.

"It's okay! You need not answer." He assured me when I stayed silent and I shook my head smiling.

"That expression appears whenever I see something or hear something I really like about. I guess I am happy to see you happily talk about anything." I shrugged and his hand paused hearing those words.

"I... I am not special to receive that." He mumbled and I shifted my hand to hold his hand that is near my face.

"That is my decision. Even I am not that special you know." I pointed out and he smiled shaking his head.

"I don't think so! You are very special." He mumbled closing his eyes.

"I need to go now otherwise I will be late." I said getting up.
