BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Completed)

Chapter 17

Shehnaaz couldn’t really achieve anything through the day as her mind kept drifting to him. 

It was lunch time, from when he had left and there wasnt a single message or call from him.

He must be busy, she reasoned and stopped herself from calling or texting too.

To take her mind off of his thoughts, She checked into a near by salon and treated herself to a rejuvenating spa time.

After a leisurely massage and hair wash along with a mani and pedi, she felt replenished as she entered her home, humming a happy tune.

She spoke to Kartik, and got teased endlessly when he had picked up her cheerful mood.

“I only want the best for you love, and I knew it when I saw Jubilee” he genuine voice was laced with happiness, mirroring hers.

“Stop calling him that..” she feigned annoyance “His name is Sidharth. And I don’t know, although it all feels too good for words right now, I cant help but wait for the other shoe to drop. You knw how it is with me Carruu” she whimpered, suddenly feeling over whelmed.

“shut the fuck up girl. And stop over working your stupid brain. Just go there and have fun. Live for the moment. And be safe ok?” he chided her overthinking, an old habit that went back to her past defeats.

They disconnected and Shehnaaz got busy, prepping herself for the evening.

She was a bit saddened when he had to leave suddenly but the evening plan had lifted her spirits again.

God she was missing him and how. She studied her reflection in the mirror and imagined his gaze touching her body.

To herself, she felt like she was the most beautiful girl on the planet today, because he felt that way.

A soft blush crept on her face, as she ran her hands along her curves. Just the thought of what his hands might do, made her body tense up with excitement.

Clutching her thighs together, she calmed the wild thoughts that ran in her mind, but had directly contacted her girl parts.

Her breath came out racy, and she had to lean against the closet to save herself from falling due to her bucking knees.

Her phone rang that very second and she instantly answered because it was Sidharth calling.

“Hello Love. I am so sorry I couldn’t call earlier. The meeting took hours to end” his voice quivered, as he seemed to be walking.

“That’s..thats fine. I understand” her breathy voice piqued his curiosity.

“Why are you panting? Were you touching yourself while thinking of me love?” he hushed, looking around, covering the distance from the board room to his cabin.

She was astonished at the way he read her so accurately, just by the sound of her breath “No… its nothing like that. The phone was in the living room and I walked a few hasty steps. That’s it” She bit the corner of her thumb, her face splitting into a pie eating grin.

“Owww.. it broke my heart to know that I wasn’t the reason for your ragged breath.
But I fully intend to correct that situation. Real soon love” the implied intimacy that his words promised stirred up every cell in her body.

“I’ll see you soon Sidharth” she feebly managed.

The car halted in front of a huge gate and she examined the surrounding.

One of the pillars had the name SHUKLA’s written in gold letters set against a huge black granite wall.

As the car entered the gate, she looked even more awestruck.
