A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 23

'Don't you know it's very dangerous to do that to a man, first thing in the morning?'

Sonakshi almost jumped out of her skin.

His nose nuzzled her neck, creating a shiver through her.

'Rohit! Yeh kya kar rahe ho?'

'You only had to ask, I would have obliged..' he brought his hand from her hip to her waist.

'Stop it! Get off of me!'

'When was I over you?' his voice was husky.

Oh God! Help!

His head was on her shoulder, preventing her from moving.

Rohit breathed in the scent of her hair, her.

She had shifted towards him in the night, like she always did since the cushions had gone.

He had tried controlling himself, but when she had rolled over the third time, he had lost his battle with himself.

'Rohit!'

He came back to the present.

'Hmm..' he took in her essence.

'Chorro mujhe..'

Rohit shifted a bit reluctantly, so she could move.

She quickly made to move away but got tangled in the sheet.

He lay there watching her flushed face, her hair falling on her face.

'Help chahiye ho to bata do..I'll be glad to be of service..' his voice was still husky from sleep.

'Shut up!' She untangled her legs finally and made to leave.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back so that she landed flat on her back.

Sonakshi was stunned.

'What..'

He got up on one elbow and looked down at her. His hand came up to move a lock of her hair from her eyes.

'Ab theek hai?' he whispered.

She was mesmerised by the look in his eyes and couldn't protest for the life of her.

His eyes looked at her so intently. She couldn't look away.

Neither could speak, the sound of their heartbeats loud in the silence.

'Koray kaghaz pe humne likh diya
Jo teri in aankhon mein parh liya
Khabar na hui phir kaise yeh
Poora afsana ban gaya.'

He recited and Sonakshi was lost...

They were like that for what seemed like ages.

Then slowly his head lowered, her eyes closed of their own volition..he was so so close..

And then the stupid alarm rang!

The shrill sound had them both jerk. Neither moved..

Damn!

Sonakshi pushed him and sat up to turn the sound off.

'Chutti pe alarm kon lagata hai? Seriously?' Rohit began to chuckle.

'Aadat hai..woh..shut up!'

She picked up the pillow and threw it at him as she ran from there.

'Sonakshi..' his laughter rang in her ears as she shut the bathroom door.

She was smiling.

Oh God! What was that? First time mujhe apne alarm pe ghussa araha hai..what? Hold that thought Sona!
