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

Chapter 22

*Anitha Pov*

"Thank god! You are here on time. Why did you switch off your phone the day before yesterday and even sent that cryptic message saying that you will contact me first if you need anything and to not disturb you." Keerthi asked while I sat on the chair to get my make-up done before changing my attire for the first shooting.

"What happened?" She continued frowning and I sighed gesturing the artist to start doing her work.

"Anitha!" She used my real name instead of the stage name and I finally shifted my eyes to look at her.

"What happened? I was this inch away from getting seduced by..." she covered my mouth with her hand before I can continue and gave the artist an awkward laugh.

"Dear! Why don't you check her outfits once to have a more clear idea about how her make-up should compliment?" She asked smiling at her and the artist slowly nodded before walking towards the other side of the room to check the outfits.

"Be careful about what you say with that mouth. Don't you care about your status?" She asked frowning at me before removing her hand.

"You asked me! And I am not talking about any stranger but my fiancé." I pointed out and she continued to frown.

"So, you got seduced?" She asked staring at me.

"I said that I was this inch away from getting seduced by him to shift to his place." I repeated by showing a bit of distance between the fingers.

"He is really cruel and not at all cute." I added frowning at the memories and tried to forget them while my artist returned to finish her work.

#Two Days Back#

What? He likes me now? Why is he suddenly saying that when I was getting ready to move on from him?

How can I even have trust in those words? But he is fine even if I don't trust. Wait a minute! Why am I waiting for him to return from his shower?

I shook my head to lay on the bed like he suggested as that couch is really uncomfortable to sleep on.

However, when I closed my eyes, I can hear him whispering in my mind, "I like you, Anitha!" and that just made me open my eyes immediately.

"Good that you waited for us to take one picture before sleeping." He mumbled from the washroom doorway before walking towards the bed.

I closed my eyes with the way he looked at me while approaching the bed. No! All this is not real and he acts like this just when we both are alone but in the presence of the third person, he will be like a stranger.

"That one picture was enough?" He asked curiously and sat beside my sleeping form.

"Two! You uploaded one, right." I pointed out and opened my eyes only to find him staring at me.

"Fine! Let's take another one." I mumbled remembering the comments that are supporting that guy's post.

After sitting up, I took my phone from the side table and stared at him. He stared back without moving a bit.

I sighed shifting towards him and placed my head on his shoulder but couldn't take the picture properly.

"Let me!" He said taking the phone from my hand and shifted his other hand to circle my waist and pulled me completely closer before clicking a picture.
