Chapter 45

Mohit's POV



She was sound asleep while I was fully awake. I turned to look at her. She was sleeping with her back turned towards me. I wanted to cuddle with her.



But I could not afford to do that. I didn't want to lose my mind. I was feeling differently for her.



I kept controlling myself but then she turned towards me and was lying very close to me. I kept looking at her, she was very pretty and looked even better after her makeover.



Uffff... she was sleeping so close to me... I promised her that she was safe with me. I won't touch her. But I didn't feel like this for her at that time.



Maybe I am getting attracted because I am feeling alone...



No, I don't feel anything for her. She is just a friend... A very good friend... as good as Manu.



But I never felt like this for Manu.



Maybe because we are feigning that we are in love. Yes !! that is the right explanation...



I need to maintain the distance... She may leave and go if she gets uncomfortable. I can't let her go.



As it is she is so innocent and pious. I should respect her. I wanted the night to get over fast as didn't want to lose my sanity...



I closed my eyes as I didn't want to keep looking at her. I was already breathing her fragrance, it was light and subtle.



But after a few minutes, she snuggled up with me. I was pleasantly surprised at that. Maybe she was feeling cold as the AC was set at a very low temperature. I lowered the cooling and tucked the blanket around her but she was still holding lightly.



I could not sleep like that hence I gave into my temptation and pulled her closer to me and buried my face in the crook of her neck. It was so relaxing but I couldn't control myself and kissed her long swan-like neck very hard.



She must have been very tired, she didn't wake up. But she has always slept like a child. I gave her one last look and then I closed my eyes again enjoying the feeling of having her in my arms.

Srusti's POV



I felt that it was morning as the chirping of the birds were audible. Sunrays from the window were coming inside the room and the morning breeze was caressing my face but I felt a warm air caressing my neck. It was such a nice feeling. What was that??



I opened my eyes and turned to look that it was Mohit. He was sleeping peacefully with one of his arm holding me to him and my back was touching his front. His warm breath had been caressing my neck.



I don't even know what I felt. I felt good from within being held like that by him but I felt shy and a bit worried because I liked it. I tried getting out of his arm and he woke up.



" Hey, is it morning already?? " He asked.



" Yes, it is..."



" I slept well... "



" Why were you holding me?? "



" Hello??? Ask that from yourself. You were the one who kept snuggling into me. I was the one who was getting away trying to escape you but you wanted to cuddle me. See, I am sleeping on the corner of the bed while you are sleeping in the middle of it. " He said with such an innocent face.



Did I do that??? I can't...



" I didn't do any such thing... You are cooking it up all. "



" He,y I can't cook anything. Just see by yourself, I am sticking to my side of the bed while you are practically sleeping on my half side of the bed. That is not fair... I am a gentleman. You are accusing me. " He said with a hurt look on his face.



Oh shit !! Did I do that?? Oh, God !! What would he think about me?? What if he comes to know my silly crush on him?? No !!!



" Ummm ok... I am sorry for that. Sorry. " I said closing my eyes and then turned and got out of the bed with lightning speed. I tried to open the door and it was still locked from outside.



I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he was looking at me. I got very conscious of his gaze on me and I wrapped the chunri of my lehenga around me.



" Please get this door opened. " I said to him.



He got up and picked up his phone and called someone.



" Mum... Yeah... Good morning. Mum, please open the door. Please I am getting annoyed now... Ok. "



" Mom is coming... "



" Ok, I would go to the washroom. "



" Hmmm ok... "



Mohit's POV



She ran into the washroom. How cute can she be?

She was so naive to trust me when I said that she was cuddled me. Her expression was so cute. She even said sorry to me. My cute Sunshine...



I got myself out of my bed and stretched myself. I slept quite well after taking her in my arms. She must have recalled what I said about her t-shirt is a bit transparent. She wrapped her chunri around her. Such a cute little, modest girl.



Mom opened the door after knocking on it. She waited for a few seconds and knocked again. I opened the door. She was smiling like a naughty child.



I was annoyed yesterday at their plan but with just a look at her face which was glowing with happiness and excitement, I felt good from within.



I tried to glare at my mom for their mischief, even she was anticipating me to create a scene now. She looked like a schoolgirl who was going to get scolded by her parent for her prank.



I tried not to smile but it slipped before I could stop it. She saw and her hesitant smile widened into a big grin and she came to hug me.



" Oh thank God, I thought that you would be annoyed as you sounded on phone. You are not angry?? "



" I am happy to see you so happy. " I said and wrapped my arms around her.



" Where is my daughter?? "



" In the washroom. "



" Ok, get ready and come out, I will ask the cook to serve the breakfast. "

She said and left closing the door.



I knocked on the washroom door to inform her that the door was open and mom is gone.



She opened the door and came out of the washroom. Then she opened the door of our room and peeped outside. She looked like a cute teenager in her t-shirt and shorts who was planning to sneak out of the room to go for a late-night party.



" Hey what are you doing?? "



" Going to my room."



" Then why are you behaving like a thief, peeping out to see if the coast was clear or not?? "



" I don't want maa, papa, di or jiju to see me like this. "



" Like what?? "



" In these clothes... "



" What is wrong with them?? You are looking cute in them. " I said and she blushed a bit and again wrapped that chunri tightly.



Ufff... her modesty and shyness were going to kill me.



" They are inappropriate. "



" So remove them..."



" WHAT ???? " Her jaw dropped and her face became red.



" Oh!! I mean take a bath and wear a robe. In the meanwhile, I will get your clothes for you. "



" Oh!! You are too much.. and thanks but no thanks, I would go to my room."



" Say that to mom or Maya, they would say now that we are married so this is our room. So get ready here, I will get your clothes. " I teased her.



" No, I don't want you to look or touch my clothes... "



" I have already touched all your clothes. You forget angel that I designed them. And I personally checked them before they were delivered as you or Maya didn't go for a fitting. " I teased her again. She was looking like an over shy teenager.



" Still it was a piece of cloth for you but... Leave that... I don't need your help."



" Why ?? What is the problem?? " I asked.



" I don't want you to look into my wardrobe. "



" Oh, are you scared that I would see your lingerie?? " I said to tease her more as she was already blushing and after hearing me say that, her face looked like a fresh strawberry. I was loving it.



" Oh please... Don't you have anything else to do ?? Please get ready here. I would get ready in my room. " She said and went out of the room.



Delightful girl with a delectable blush...



I shook my head with a smile and went to take a shower.
