Tell me

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Anushka steps out of her room in gym clothes, acting as if nothing unusual happened earlier. She stretches and heads toward the kitchen, where Virat rummages through the pantry.

"Good morning!" she calls cheerfully, pouring herself a glass of water.

"Morning! Planning to work out today?" Virat glances over his shoulder.

"Yeah, I figured I'd get a quick session in before breakfast. Want to join.?" she offers, tying her hair back into a high ponytail.

"Sure, I could use the exercise." he replies, trying to sound casual while feeling a rush of excitement.

Anushka moves to the living room, sets up her mat, and begins her workout routine. Virat grabs a seat on the sofa, pretending to focus on his phone, but his gaze drifts to her effortlessly fluid movements. She flows through her exercises-squats, lunges, and stretches-each motion highlighting her toned physique, her midriff and her chest which are moving up and down because of heavy breathing. He can't help but be captivated.

Anushka glances over and catches him staring. She raises an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her lips. "Enjoying the view.?"

Caught off guard, Virat quickly looks away, feigning innocence. "Just... uh, making sure you're doing it right."

"Right," she teases, returning to her routine. "You're welcome to join any time, you know."

After a few minutes of playful banter, Virat decides to join her on the other mat. They alternate between exercises, their competitive spirits igniting the energy in the room. As he works out, Anushka steals glances at him, especially when he removes his T-shirt, revealing the hard-earned contours of his body, glistening in the sunlight.

"Not bad, huh?" he says, grinning as he catches her staring.

"Definitely not bad," she admits, her voice a bit breathless. "I might need to step up my game."

Virat chuckles, electric tension filling the air. "So, what's the plan for breakfast? Pancakes? Smoothies?"

"How about both? We can treat ourselves after this intense workout," Anushka suggests, a mischievous glint in her eye.

"Deal," he replies, his heart racing as they finish their sets.

As Anushka sits on her mat, she notices a small tattoo on Virat's back: an "M" with a heart below it. It brings back a memory of his ex-girlfriend from school. "He was such a cheerful person back then, but he changed completely after she left him," she thinks, pushing the thought aside to focus on her workout.

"I heard you had a crush on me during school," Virat says while lifting weights.

"No, who said that?" Anushka asks, feeling surprise.

"Of course, your best friend Rahul. Who else?" he laughs.

"He's always good at spreading rumors," she replies quickly turning aside and biting her tongue.

After their workout, Anushka and Virat move to the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast. The smell of pancakes wafts through the air as they mix batter, laughter filling the space.

"Do you really think you can out-cook me.?" Anushka teases, playfully flicking flour in his direction.

Virat grins and retaliates with a handful of flour. "Bring it on! Just remember, I'm a pro at making a mess."

Anushka squeals as a flour cloud envelops her, and soon they're engaged in a full-on flour fight. Laughter echoes through the kitchen as they throw handfuls of flour at each other, coating the counter, floor, and their clothes in a light dusting of white.

"Okay, okay! Maybe we should stop before it gets out of hand." Anushka giggles, trying to catch her breath.

"Too late for that!" Virat chuckles, stepping back but losing his footing on the slippery floor. Anushka turns just in time, and they collide, falling to the ground with a soft thud.

They land in a tangle of limbs, Anushka hovering over Virat. Each attempt to get up results in them falling against each other again.

"Ouch." Anushka says, looking at Virat. Their faces are inches apart, and the laughter dies down, replaced by a charged silence as they gaze into each other's eyes.

Virat reaches up, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Anushka's ear, his fingers brushing against her skin. The warmth of the moment envelops them, and their breaths mingle.

"Anushka..." he whispers, his heart racing.

Just as their lips inch closer, Virat's hands roam over her body and stop near her butt again a black shadows appear infront of her. Suddenly, a realization jolts Anushka. "Wait!" she exclaims, pulling back abruptly. The air between them shifts, tension crackling.

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Virat asks, confusion and longing flickering in his eyes.

"No, it's not that," she replies, her voice soft yet firm. "I just... didn't expect that." Anushka stands with the help of the kitchen slab and helps Virat up.

Virat glances around at the mess they've created. "It's going to take a lifetime to clean all this."

Anushka smiles. "Don't worry, the maid will come in a few minutes. If not, then we'll have to tackle it ourselves."

"In that case, it will take us a century to clean up," Virat jokes, easing the tension as they both laugh, flour dust swirling around them, reminding them of their fun.

Later, Anushka sits on her bed, her phone buzzing with notifications that go unnoticed. The moment they shared lingers in her mind, leaving her both excited and anxious. She can't shake the feeling that their connection is deepening, and that terrifies her.

After a few moments of silence, she takes a deep breath and heads to the living room, where she finds Virat scrolling through his phone. "Virat, can we talk for a minute?"

"Sure." he replies, looking up with genuine curiosity.

"I had a crush on you during school, but I don't want that to happen again." Anushka says.

"My brother never lies; I knew it," Virat smiles. "What's on your mind?"

She hesitates, searching for the right words. "I've been thinking about our arrangement. I don't want to get hurt by developing feelings. It might be safer if we establish some boundaries."

Virat furrows his brow. "Boundaries? Like what?"

Anushka swallows hard. "What if we turn our arrangement into something more like... friends with benefits? It would give us the freedom to explore our connection without the pressure of a serious relationship."

Virat's eyes widen slightly, clearly intrigued. "So, you're saying we keep it casual, but we can also enjoy each other physically?"

"Exactly." she replies, relief washing over her as she voices her thoughts. "We can have fun without the risk of falling in love. I just don't want to complicate things."

He nods slowly, processing her words. "That makes sense. I can see where this could lead, but I also get your point. Friends with benefits sounds... manageable."

Anushka feels a weight lift off her shoulders. "And if at any point it starts to feel too serious, we talk about it. No surprises."

"That's never going to happen with me," Virat says, a small smile forming. "I like that we can be honest about this."

"I have a lot of fantasies I want to explore with you," Anushka says, looking down.

"I've never seen this side of you. Bring it on!" Virat encourages.

"I... never explored things in my life , I engaged in sex two or three times. I never found a genuine guy like you. I'm counting on you; don't break my trust," Anushka playfully warns.

Virat takes Anushka's hand in his. "Trust me, Anushka, I will never break your trust. But don't expect love from me..."

Just then, they hear the sound of the door opening as the maid arrives to clean the house. Both feel a wave of relief.

They spend the day talking and watching movies since they can't go out. As the time passes, Anushka glances at the clock. "Wow, it's already past ten. Good night."

"Wait, did you post the pic Jeevan took of us on Instagram? It will add fuel to the rumours circulating." Virat reminds her.

"I'll do that now." Anushka quickly posts their picture on Instagram before they head off to their rooms.

As the night wears on, Anushka can't shake the excitement of their new arrangement. While she remains cautious, the prospect of exploring their connection as friends with benefits fills her with a sense of possibility. She hopes they can navigate this path without losing the friendship they have built.
