"Ashar please listen to me" I said running behind him but he was faster.

"I said STOP!" I shouted but he just picked up his bag, kissed Shezan's forehead and went outside. "Ashar, Ashar....damn it!" With that I grabbed his forearm and forcefully made him turn. "Why can't you listen to me for once?"

"I'm getting late and I don't have time to listen to you" He replied.

"Is it because of John?" He clenched his fists as he tried to get inside his car, but I once again stopped him. "I won't let you go" I said stubbornly.

"Laiba, Move" his tone was now becoming very dangerous but I didn't care.

"No!" I stubbornly replied crossing my arms over my chest. Without saying anything he just removed me and opened the gate of his car, sitting inside the driver's side but before he could have closed the door, I pushed myself inside on top of his lap almost straddling him, I slammed the door shut.

Before he could say anything my palms were over his mouth shutting him up. "You have to listen to me" I said with an authority in my tone. After making sure that he won't put up a fight I removed my palm.

Very much aware of the distraction that his grip on the sides of my waist was making me go through I tried my best to not squirm and make the situation more worse than it is already now. Inhaling a deep breath I finally looked into his eyes.

"You do know that I Love only you?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Then why are you letting your anger take over you?" I asked placing my right palm on his left cheek.

He didn't said anything just fisted the sides of my waist.

"That dream made me remember our very first time where we finally got to know each other for the first time" I said not breaking my eye contact.

"I need to go" he replied.

"And I need you" I said leaning my forehead against his closing my eyes. For a second I just let myself lose in his scent, our nose touching each others while our lips almost an inch away. Not knowing what took me over when I slowly traced my finger over his shirt almost loosening his tie and opening the two buttons of his shirt while he clutched my back tightly, his nails almost digging into my flesh.

A soft groan escaped his lips as he pulled me more closer towards him if that was even possible! "You need not to worry about anyone 'cause I'm yours and only yours" I murmured against his lips, my lips almost brushing against his in the process which in turn made his hand slipped under my tshirt making me gasp. Satisfied with my reaction he smirked to which I replied by biting his earlobe.

A sharp intake of a breath was heard very clearly followed by almost scratching my back with his nails for which I was damn sure that a mark would be very much prominent on my back but that didn't stopped me from getting an upper hand where I smirked at his reaction.

Growling lowly he roughly grabbed me by the back of my head as he forcefully made me look into his eyes. Our breathing was matching with each other. We both were breathing heavily as we kept on staring at each other but not before when I almost felt something which almost made me clutch his shirt in shock but that for sure didn't disturbed him because I felt him inching closer towards me with his head tilted.

Holding my breath I wetted my lips in anticipation as I felt my face almost moving towards his. Fisting his shirt in my tight grip I felt his soft minty breath on top of my lips making me almost lose my sanity which by the way is on it's way to become extinct if I'll be this close to him for even a second more.

Curse my lack or say thanks to God that his cell went off at that very moment making both of us jump apart which made me pressed against the steering wheel that made a loud sound which made me almost shriek in horror but just then he pulled me closer again and gave me an unbelievable look.

He quickly picked up murmuring a reply to a greeting while I flushed remembering what actually happened few minutes before and was embarrassed at the same time that my bum was pressed against the horn button on the steering wheel. By the time he talked over his call, I adjusted my hijab and ran my hand over my face. I quickly ran my fingers through his hair making it look more presentable but he didn't even spare me a glance nor he stopped me from doing so.

After waiting for a second or so he finally looked at me. "I really need to go!" He said running his hands through his hair making me pout!!

"And how will I go out?" I asked

"Just like how did you get inside and on the first place why did you even get inside and that too here on my seat?" He asked

"Because you were being rude!"

He scoffed.

"Now, get out!"

"The hell I will!!" I stubbornly crossed my arms.

"Laiba, not again!"

"Fine, then what's the magic word?" I gave him a cheeky smile.

"Please"?

"Much better!" With that said I opened the door and hopped out. "Thank you for listening to me" I smiled leaning down. To which he only nodded. I stepped back and he was about to close the door when I again opened the door.

"Now what?" He was irritated.

"This" I said and leaned sticking inside my head and almost coming face to face with him. He tried to look anywhere but failed miserably when his gaze again got fixed on my lips. A shy smile crept over my face as I blushed, "This is only for me to see" I whispered before closing those two top buttons of his shirt which I had opened and tightening his tie following with adjusting the collar of his shirt.

Peeking through my eyelashes I caught him holding back a smile which made me blush furiously as I pulled back myself. "Come fast, we'll be waiting for you!" I said giving him a smile to which he replied by giving me his breath stopping smile.

~~~
A Month has passed and now it has become a daily routine for Laiba and Ashar, to sit down together at night over a cup of coffee and share their details of the day.

Much to Ashar's amusement he had actually started losing himself a bit in Laiba's company but that doesn't meant that he had let his guards down. He still calls her annoying, who is half of the time invading his privacy.

She calls him her best friend while he still hasn't given him that space, yet. A promise was made by Laiba that soon she'll make herself turn into his best friend to which Ashar has given her a thumbs up!!

But from the last few days, they both are just not able to continue their routine, due to him being engrossed in his work and this just didn't settled well with Laiba.

"Dog, Cow, Buffalo, an idiotic arrogant piece of a walking charmer rot in a corner, leeches and flies all hovering over him!!" I banged my hand on the table.

After a few second, a lound sound erupted from Shahid, Jess and Laila, throwing their heads back and laughing away!!

Yes, my best friends were here in my office canteen. So much have happened in these so many years but nothing changed our friendship. It was because of them that I finally got back on the right path and even Ashar respects them alot.

Shahid is now married to Laila. Yes, even I was shocked when I got to know that they were secretly in love with each other. Married for four years and have twins now. Aaira and Simrah, they both are now two years old and they both are so adorable!!

Jess is still Jess, she is still single and not ready to mingle.

Glaring at them my nose flared in anger as I poked all three of them with the fork.

"Ouch!!" They all winced together.

"Why are you taking out Ashar's anger on us?" Jess asked rubbing her hand.

"I am not angry!!" I said for the umpteenth time.

"Yeah, right, she's upset!!" Shahid corrected Jess

"I am not upset!!" I glared picking up the fork once again in my hand.

"Then why are you murdering us with all those nonsense weapons!!" Laila motioned towards the cutlery that was laid on the table.

"Because I was bored!!" I said in a duh tone.

"Then eat Ashar's head" Shahid scowled

"Why would I eat his head alone when I can share with you all" I shrugged

"Oh please, we're least bit of not interested in him as much as you are" Laila said.

"I am not interested in him" I yelled

"Then why it is bothering you so much?" Jess yelled back.

"Because-because it has become our daily routine and if one thing also gets ticked off from the daily routine schedule then everything gets messed up!" I tried to explain my reason but seeing their are-we-fool expression, I sighed.

"And what exactly got messed up? You not having coffee with Ashar every night?" Laila asked

"I don't know what he is upto!! I haven't seen him from the past two days and neither he is replying to my texts or calls. It's strange that we live in the same house and in the same room and yet I'm not able to meet him" I groaned

"He must be busy with his work, Laiba!" Shahid said.

"I understand...but he should have at least replied to my texts!!"

"Do one thing after going home today, keep all your stuffs aside and stand in front of the main door. Whenever he'll come he have to first face you and then will have to enter the house!!" Shahid wiggled his eyebrows, earning a smack from me for his stupid idea.

"You all are of no help!!"

Huffing and puffing, almost taking out my anger on my every work, I was finally done with my shift. After saying goodbye to my colleagues, I walked towards my car, when my cell buzzed. Fishing out my cell from my purse, my eyes grew wide seeing the caller id. It was Ashar.

Immediately picking up his call, I said, "So finally someone remembered me!!"

"Am I speaking to Miss.Annoying?" There was a hesitation while someone spoke from the other end and it was definitely not Mr.Grey Eyes.

That rotten egg, he have the audacity to save my name as Miss.Annoying??!! "Who are you and where is Mr.Grey Eyes??" Smacking my forehead immediately, I said, "I mean Ashar?"

"I will reply to all your questions but first I wanna know that am I speaking to Miss.Annoying?" The other person asked

It took all of my self control to not hit his head from inside the phone."Yes, you are speaking to Miss.Annoying and for your kind information my name is Laiba!!" I said through gritted teeth.

"Umm..okayy, I'm so sorry Miss.Laiba, actually your number was saved under that name only!"

"First of all it's not Miss, it is Mrs. and It's okay...now will you answer my question?" I was now on the verge of being irritated.

"Umm..yeah right, actually Sir is having a very high fever." He replied

"What???!!!" I almost yelled

"Yea-yeah, no need to worry, the doctor has said that he'll be fine in three days. Viral fever and he has also neglected his health from the last three days." He said.

"What do you mean by neglected his health??" I asked a bit confused.

"Due to work pressure he wasn't eating properly and neither he has slept!" He replied

Rolling my eyes at his childishness, I asked, "where's he now?"

"We're still in the hospital, Mam. Actually, your number was on the top, so I called you. If you don't mind then can you please come to the hospital and pick him up? Sir, isn't in the state of driving and my Wife is sick, I need to get to her and Sir's house and my house is in the totally opposite direction. But, it's okay, if you're busy...I'll drop him by myself." He said.

"No, no... it's okay. I'm coming. Just send me the address." With that I hung up.

God, Mr.Grey Eyes, I didn't knew you could be this careless!!! Wheeling out the car from the parking, I drove off in full speed. The hospital was almost an hour distance from my workplace, but that didn't stopped me from worrying about him.

Reaching the hospital in no time, I quickly stepped out of the car, locking behind it and rushed inside the hospital. Once inside, I dialled that person's number and asked him where they were. Hanging up the call, I walked straight and then took a left and I could see a man in his mid twenties, standing outside of an empty room.

"Laiba" I said standing in front of him.

"Faiz" he extended his hand and I shook it lightly before retrieving my hand back. "Where's he?"

"Yeah, he's inside" he said opening the door of the room.

Automatically, my heart squeezed, seeing him lying down on that sick bed. I slowly walked towards him and my heart hurted more, looking at his pale figure. I touched his forehead lightly and he was burning.

"He's burning!" I said looking at Faiz.

"No need to worry, it'll go down by tomorrow, In Sha Allah. The doctor had given him an injection and here's the prescription." He handed me the prescription and explained me when to give what medicines.

"Thank you so much" I smiled.

"Don't be. In fact, I should say Thank You to you for helping me." Faiz said

"It's okay. But, I haven't seen you before or heard about you? Are you new in his office? I asked.

"Yes, actually I joined last month only as Sir's manager." He said.

"Ohh..I see!!"

"I'm sorry to ask you but how do you both know each other? Actually, if Sir wakes up and finds himself somewhere else, he'll fire me!!" He said.

I almost chuckled at his horrified expression, "don't worry, I'm your Sir's wife!! He'll be safe with me." I said smiling.

He let out a shock gasp, "I'm so sorry, I didn't knew that technially you're my boss's boss!!"

Now this literally made me laugh. "It's okay, but can you please help me to walk him to my car?" I asked

"Yeah, sure!!"

Turning back, I looked towards Ashar and ran my hand over his hair. "Ashar, you need to get up now" I leaned down a bit.

He slowly opened his eyes before shutting it back again and opening them again.

"What are you doing here?" He said, getting up.

"Was missing this hospital alot, so I decided to come here" I replied sarcastically.

"Didn't I told you that she's annoying and yet you called her?" He looked at Faiz and said, while Faiz tried to control his smile and I tried my best to give the meanest of my glares to Faiz!!

"You do know Ashar that no matter how much you try, you can't escape this beautiful lady, here!!" I pointed towards myself and he groaned making us laugh.

Slowly and steadily with the help of Faiz, I made him sit on the passenger side and put the seatbelt across him. Turning back towards Faiz, once again we both thanked each other, before I got inside and drove off!!

"Laiba, you really didn't have to come, I could have driven easily!" He said rubbing his temples

"Ohh!! I totally agree with you" I rolled my eyes

"What?? I'm serious!!" He said

"And I could see that"

"Why are you so stubborn?" He asked

"Learnt from you!" I smirked

He didn't said anything just rested his head back.

The rest of the journey from the hospital to the home was quiet apart from his light snores and me controlling myself to not burst out laughing!!

Parking my car in the usual spot, I walked towards him and opened his side of the door. He tried to stand up by himself but failed. Even him protesting at his best, I forcefully wrapped his left arm aroun my neck while I wrapped my right arm around his waist.

"Stop protesting Ashar, you're not in the condition to walk all by yourself and don't worry I won't say to anyone that Mr.Ashar Sayeed the owner of a Multinational Companies was feeling shy to ask me for a side hug!!" I almost laughed at the last part.

"Laiba, why can't you be serious for once?" He groaned

"You are there to complete that spot" I winked and with that we both went inside our house.
