***Sahana's P. O. V***

Should I be happy or sad that the dude who makes my heart jump with joy is a possessive asshole with a very nasty temper?!

Everything was fine and then bam.... He shuts my room door with a loud bang as he walks outa my room.

And why did he storm out?! Because I said Raj shouldn't find out about us!!

Does Arush not understand that my protective brother would beat him to a pulp if he {my Bhai}  ever found out about us?! Oh no he's all for love and stuff but he's just that protective about me!

And then Raj with his excessive teasing.... Fuck the office people too gossiping behind our backs that I'm with Arush only for my job 'n stuff.... Arush could even end up loosing his job!! Does he not understand any of this?

Sighing, I walked to my dressing table to make myself more presentable, but the moment I saw my reflection, I blushed scarlet - my usually tamed and neat hair looked like a big nest made of hair!!

My tousled hair was a reminder...a proof... Of how it had all fallen over like a curtain encapsulating just me and him while we kissed!

I ran my fingers along my lips, still unable to believe that just a few moments ago, Arush's lips where on these, sending me into a state of pure Bliss!

But was all lost now? No!! I should make him understand why it's essential for us to keep this matter of him and me a secret. He could loose his job and people might even call him names.... I can't let that happen!!

Blushing and still pondering over the intimate moment that had just passed between me and Arush, I brushed my hair into a neat ponytail before applying a little bit of tinted lip balm on my lips.

I was dressed in my pajamas - Hogwarts themed pajamas to be precise and well, I don't wanna change out of them - Arush had held me when I was wearing these!!

Blush at the memory of how Arush had held me to his body, I put my phone in my pajama pocket and opened my room door.

There in front of me was Arush, who looked grumpy as fuck and was emerging out of the mini theater.

Arush avoided my gaze and was about to walk away when I moved forward and grabbed his hand.

I looked around to make sure that Raj and Bhai weren't there and was glad to hear their voices coming down from the living room eating breakfast.

Arush was looking at me in confusion, though his cheeks were turning to a deeper shade of pink with every passing second.

Without uttering another word, I dragged him into my room and closed the door behind me while Arush still looked at me in confusion, though his eyes were screaming hurt.

"I didn't mean that I'm not interested in you or that I am interested in Raj or someother dude.... If Raj finds out he's gonna tease the crap out of both of us and even Bhai's gonna find out...Bhai's really protective of me and he'll beat you to a pulp if he finds out that I cried n stuff...and then there's the matter of office....if someone gets to know in office it's gonna be like I'm with you for my job or something and even your career may get jeopardized... They'll talk ill about you too and your job Arush..." I broke off, panting for breath.

Arush hadn't moved a muscle and was looking at me with some weird expression on his face.

"What?" I asked, feeling irritated and sad that he's still probably misunderstanding me.

"You look cute when you're all babbling on like this... And you're even more cuter when you care for me" he said, walking towards me.

My cheeks started burning at his words and I slowly started moving backwards - I have to make my point first!

Arush put his hand forward and tugged me by my wrist, finally putting both his arms around me and pulling me more to himself as I put both my hands in his chest to maintain some distance - he has to know my intention first!!

"I like it when you leave your hair open" he breathed, kissing the top of my head.

"First listen to me Arush..." I began but he cut me off "I understand Sahana... And I feel proud and happy that you care so much about me and my career. Don't worry... We can keep this a secret for a while. Is that okay?" He asked, looking warmly at me.

Fuck he did understand!!! Aww!!

I blushed and nodded my head in agreement to which he again bent down and kissed the top of my head.

"Your brother and my best friend both questioned me a lot about my swollen lip. I had to lie to them that I'd been biting my lip during my workout session this morning and I had to literally run away from them to dodge their questions" Arush said, smirking.

I knew he meant that his lower lip got swollen all thanks to me sucking on it!!

"Good" I said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Not fair Sahana... Not fair that only I bear the mark of our intimate moment.... You should have something to prove that I'd spent a lovely time with you" Arush said and winked.

Fuck he's gonna take revenge isn't he?? Oh fuck oh boy oh damn!!

I only had time to widen my eyes in horror before Arush's breath fanned my face and his lips met mine.

But to my surprise, he didn't suck my lip like I had sucked on his, rather, he pecked my lips several times in quick succession, making me crave for more with every peck.

Okay so he was just teasing me with 'leaving my mark on you' right?!

Oh how wrong was I?!

***Arush's P. O. V***

I had actually been looking forward to meeting Sahana and then....that kiss... And we had such a sweet moment before she spoilt it all with...with her words!!

She was afraid that Raj would find out?! That means she liked Raj my best friend?! Then what was I?!

My anger always gets the worst of me and the feeling of rejection and heart-break I'd felt when Sahana said about wanting to hide this from Raj made me storm out of her room.

Without thinking I'd just gone downstairs - screw everything I'm going home!!

But I stopped in my tracks when I found Raj and Reyansh looking...or rather smirking at me.

Okay now what?!!

"You're early" Raj said, still smirking.

"Yes I'd come early" I replied coolly.

"Raj hasn't had breakfast so he said he'll have some" Reyansh said, handing a plate of parathas and kachoris to a gleeful looking Raj - bhukkad!!

Sighing, I sat down on the sofa besides Raj, brooding over my own ill-fate - I screwed up bad didn't I?

First I dozed off while she was chatting and then...fuck I stormed out!!

Should I hate myself or feel angry on her?! Sahana isn't the type of girl that's just do this kind of a double game...she's sweet and innocent...she's an angel! She won't play games with me!!

Sahana is not a whore like Diya Sinha who'd say sweet words and give kisses to any guy that she fancies!!

Sahana is someone long term...she's a shy sweet girl, who's only mine.

"What's up Mr. Grumpy?! Or should I say... Mr. Blushy?!" I heard Raj speaking and turned around to find my best friend and future-brother-in-law both gazing at me in amusement.

"What?" I snapped at him, feeling sad for having hurt Sahana.

"Why's your lip swollen?" Raj asked, moving his face forward probably to get a better look at my lips and instinctively, I backed off, sucking my lower lip.

"Yeah... I'm not sure was it like this when you'd come?" Reyansh asked, looking a little thoughtful.

Fuck it's Sahana's work!! Oh how amazing I'd felt when she had sucked on my lower lip... I had felt shocked at first because she's this innocent little flower my Sahana...but the way she sucked on my lip....

I moved a finger over my lip, feeling the swollen bumps on it - oh she's done a pretty good job!

"I uh.. I was really giving in my best and this new workout... Nervousness and anger... I was biting into my own lip...too much effort goes into gym right" I made up some bullshit while hoping against hope that my blushing face wouldn't give me away!!

"Oh..hmpf yeah it had happen to me once too....anyways... Did you fix the system Arush?" Reyansh asked.

"Uh yeah...I'll just be waiting over there okay" I said before dashing into the mini theater.

Unbidden, a thought entered my head while I looked around the mini theater - Sahana...what does she feel?! What was that reaction of her's when she meant that Raj shouldn't find out?!

Is she ashamed to be seen with me? Or be known as.... My girlfriend?!

The dark room didn't do anything to lift my spirits and seeing how Raj and Reyansh would take another half an hour at least to finish with their breakfast, I decided to go back to them... Else my head would explode with this shit!!

But as soon as I opened the door and walked out, I came face to face with Sahana, who had just emerged from her room by the looks of it!

I felt a little irritated seeing how her long hair that I've come to love so much was tied up in a ponytail. But she looked cute nevertheless!

Pulling me into her room and closing the door shut behind her, Sahana went on to explain why she'd said she wanted to keep things secret.

It felt wonderful to know that this woman cared so much about me, not to mention that she looked adorable in that Hogwarts pajamas!!

Damn I wish I could just hold her in my arms like this forever and kiss her everyday...every second of everyday I mean!!

She looked even more adorable as I threatened to leave a mark of our intimate moment on her, but for now, her inviting lips were my priority.

I pecked her lips several times, each time making me crave more for her perfect lips, each time making me want to just hold her and spend my whole life like this with her!

I finally let go off her, and what I'm assuming to be an unintentional wimper, escaped her lips. She blushed as I gazed down at her and I knew that she knew what I had in mind.

To be continued...
