'A phone?'
Help? From someone he didn't know? That would be a first - seeing how he was the kind of man who'd never lost a pen or misplaced a pair of shades so far. That being said, he HAD forgotten his mobile phone today. 'Of all days' And after having just worked out something of mammoth consequence in his head, he desperately needed to make a couple of calls. So contrary to the norm, he was quite willing to take her up on this unexpected offer - it was the matter of a couple of million pounds, after all. 'I wouldn't mind'
'Here you go...' She unlocked the screen and held it out.
As soon as he got his hands on the phone, he waved it to his right, indicating he'd have to step aside to make a private call.
No please? No thank you? 'Abrupt' It was tempting to judge him. But she decided to chalk up the abruptness to whatever crisis he might be in!
'Sure... but my 21:02 arrives in five minutes'
'So does mine!'
With a quick nod, he moved a few paces away - much too short on minutes and much too preoccupied with pressing matters, to take proper notice of the lady. In all fairness, she was a good bit shorter than him and he was not the sort of guy that stared. But just as his fingers were about to open the phone-pad, his eyes incidentally caught a fleeting glimpse of the background display - a picture of her. 'Pretty'. And of her mister!
'Wait...' Next second, his brows drew into a thick frown. 'Pretty?' That was random! He didn't even remember the last time he'd chosen the adjective 'pretty' for anything. Or, anyone! So, how or why did that adjective just pop up in his head? 'Anyway' A scoff later, he was back to business 'Don't have the time for this!'

DIFFERENT SHADES OF HIM (BOOK-ONE)
"And what you tried today," I winced in pain as he held my nape from behind before turning me around. I peered up at him in fear while he stared down at me with his intimidating eyes. His eyes were thundering. Leaning down further, he made my pulse rise. Being so close to him- a man, no less, I could see the clear spec of blackness inside his dark eyes. They were so raw and so dark and so piercing. "I would suggest you not try it again," he added, his bottomless brooding eyes burned into mine, "because no matter how hard you are going to try, you are never going to get out of here without my permission. Away from my sight," he vowed in a menacing tone that had no expression at all. "Don't get your hopes high." Tears split down my eyes while he studied my face. "You like escaping. Don't you?" He explained to me in a condescending tone. "Let's see how you are going to try now with my eyes on you- all the time." "You can try all you want, but you can never break my spirits!" I looked at him, directly in his eyes without blinking. His eyes were still focussed on my face as he slowly stepped around me. "Do you mean it?" His voice was strangely soft, "Maybe I cannot. But.. " Adding to his intimidating aura. Shaur. "No.. " I whispered. "I can break him." His gaze met mine in an instant. "You seem to have forgotten your own mental capacity of understanding certain situations. Let me refresh it for you." His eyes seemed to burn holes at me. "I'd rather not get blood on your dress."

Tumhari Pratiksha | ✔
❝Bhoot pisach nikat nahi aavey, Mahavir jab naam sunavey...❞ It was late at night, when I heard a knock on the window. I froze hearing the knock. Slowly, I got up from my study table and tiptoed toward my bed, trying to decide if I should check the window. But something told me not to, so I climbed on the bed instead. I'm not opening that window. I know how in horror movies, the main character hears some creepy noise and runs straight towards it. Like hello? do they not care there could be a whole-ass ghost waiting to jump on them? Another knock. I squeezed my eyes shut, gripping the blanket tightly. If this is how I die, I swear I'm haunting the ghost back. I was on the verge of running to wake up my parents when I heard a sneeze and then... my name whispered slowly. "Pratiksha." It clicked in an instant. Oh god! I shot up from the bed, hurriedly unlocking and opening the window. Before I could even react, he tumbled through and fell directly on the floor with a thud. I gasped in shock, half laughing but also panicking at the sight of him in my room. "How did you-" I started to ask, but he quickly clamped his hand over my mouth. I stared at him. He leaned in closer and whispered, "Don't make noise, or we'll both be in trouble." What. Is. Happening. ~~~ If overthinking was a sport, she would have won every time. He, on the other hand, one moment, he was the smoothest guy around. The next, he was doing something completely silly just for fun. Together, they were like a perfect mess.

"If it's you, you will find a girl who's much better than me. One who will be much more helpful to you. Of course, the company..." His eyes were shining clearly even in the smoke. "All I want is you." He gently swept the back of her hand with his fingertips. She tried to avoid his touch, but he grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. "I've spent a lot of time on this wedding. I took you to an important gathering of acquaintances, and I put a lot of effort into finding a wedding gift and a new house for newlyweds. You've wasted the time of both our families and mine." "So... what do you want me to do?" "Who knows. What should you do?" He inhaled the cigar deeply and exhaled a thick smoke again. As the smoke rolled in, clear tears formed around her eyes. He gently wiped the corners of her eyes. The moment he first met her, he muttered as he stared at her neat face, which made his heart stop. "If you don't like it that much, I can't help it either. We have no choice but to find an agreement."Complete

I scooted a little closer to him and tilted my head a little, curious to know what his response would be. "Um well we could uh talk about our lives you know, school and family and friends and other stuff like that." "And do you really want to do that?" I asked him running a finger down his white t-shirt after closing the small distance between us. "Do you really want to just sit and talk about family," I leaned over to whisper in his ear, "and friends," I lightly nipped his earlobe while continuously running my finger down his shirt until I reached the waistline of his black jeans, "and school," I was just about to trace my finger over his zipper when he gripped my hand and looked me in the eye just as I finished saying, "and other stuff like that." I looked up from our hands to his green eyes, taking in the blueish specks of his irises, with a hint of hazel mixed, surrounding his pupil. We stared at each other for a minute, me admiring how close his proximity is and how the tingly sensation of his hand on mine felt good. "No I don't." Dominic groaned out, looking down at my lips and then back up at me. "No you don't what?" I leaned in a little, suddenly feeling drawn in to his green eyes and awaiting lips. ------ Ryler didn't expect to fall for him so soon.

He looks panicked, "Not in a creepy way though!" "What?" I keep eye contact. "I've just been observing you. That sounds awful." He looks and sounds even more panicked than before, "I mean, I think you're beautiful and I just didn't know how to approach you. I tend to be socially awkward with girls I have an interest in and I didn't want to scare you off..." He trails off, "But when I see you around, my gaze gravitates towards you," he sighs, "I sound like a total creep. I'm sorry."
