Ishaan got out of the car to hear giggling and barking from the garden. He followed the voice to see a warm scene which lifted the corner of his lips.

Her beautiful black hair danced with the winds as throwed the ball for Ben to fetch, her beautiful brown orbs lit up Everytime he would come running towards her, Her soft lips curving into a beautiful smile as she patted the ball of fur. The rays of dusk created a heavenly glow on her.

Ishaan heart thudded in his chest , he could feel a calmness surrounding him looking at her. His restless mind calmed at the glance of her, in her he could feel what he was craving all these years you are going to be death of me Nisha Ahuja

Feeling a intense gaze on her Nisha turned back to see him standing there looking at her with such a intense look which warmed her entire being. She could feel her nerves setting on fire as she stucked tendril of hair behind her ear, common idiot say something she scolded herself, she looked towards him and smiled, a smile which made him Sparks running through his vain.

She walked towards him but no sooner did she stood in front of him did her smile drop, " Did you cry Ishaan." She asked worried, noticing his red eyes , her heart pinched thinking about him crying.

Ishaan was off guard with her questions, he thought himself to be the master of hiding his emotions but he forgot that Nisha Ahuja proved him wrong in his every step.

" What the fuck are you saying, why would I be crying...wh..." He was cut of guard again as she tip toed and throwed her around his neck.

" A person eyes speaks louder then their face and lips." She whispered near his making him gulp feeling her breath fanning on his neck.

"Its okay to be not okay Ishaan, you Don't have to be always strong, even a worrier also take off his armor after war is ended." She told him , running her fingers through his hair.

That is the problem Nish, the war is not ended yet he thought,

Ishaan exhaled a breath feeling her fingers creating magic on his scalp, he leaned into her touch, at that time in her embrace he felt warm and safe , she felt like home , which Ishaan longed for all these years.

Being protected doesn't always mean physically protected but it also means mentally protected, a home is a place were you let your guards down , were you can be yourself , were you can as much vulnerable as you want , and for Ishaan Nisha felt like that home.

His finally eased himself and rest his chin on her neck , he slowly and almost hesitatingly raised his hands and wrapped them around her pulling her closer till their souls could crush into each other, bathing in each other's pain and becoming remedy for each other. He held her till his soul got sedated by her touch , he held her till his heart calmed by the soul of her heartbeats , he held till his mind calmed with her scent.

"As much as I love to be like this Ishaan, which I honestly do but my feets are killing me, Soo time out please." She told him with a teasingness in her voice , she wanted to be like that in his arms forever, the happiness she felt when he wrapped his arms around was beyond any words could describe, for her it was a sign of acceptance, but her dammed feet ruined the moment

Ishaan stepped back clearing his throat, a tint of red appeared on his neck," i...I..I need to call Reyansh." He said and stormed out of there in lighting speed.

Nisha chuckled at his antics he is Soo adorable she thought,

During dinner time Ishaan walked in the dinner area to see Nisha blabbering with someone in phone, chatterbox he thought with a shake of his head, he tried to ignore the warmness surrounding him looking at her , he tried to ignore the flashback of their little moment in afternoon. He sat on the chair served himself the dinner, he didn't focused on her conversation until,

"Edward was such a meanie in the new moon Lily, I wish that Cullen would have some Sense in his thick head." She said slumping on the chair infront of him with a sigh.

( A/n if you know, u know 👀)

Who the fuck is this Edward he thought clenching his jaw as he tried to maintain his nonchalant facade, he remembered her blabbering something about some Edward last night , for some Reason it made him feel irritated and disappointed.

Nisha got up from there still talking on the phone with god knows whom, when he made sure she was out hearing range , he pulled out his mobile and dialed Jaiden.

"Yes boss," his voice said from otherside , not knowing his call at this hour.

"I want you get me file containing all information About a guy named Edward Cullen." He said, with clenched jaw ,

" You will have his file in the first thing in the morning." Jaiden said.

Ishaan hung up , he tried ignore the nagging feeling inside of him , I m doing this for her own good,he thought, he convinced himself that he is doing a background check on the Cullen guy Soo that he won't hurt her , what if the guy is sent by one of his rival , what if he is sent by Veer, what if he is some serial killer, what if he is some rapist, what if he is ex assassin.

Nisha who was heard his conversation with Jaiden stood there biting her lips hard stop the bubbling laugh, she just finished talking with Jenny's daughter Lillian when she heard his order on the background check on 'Edward Cullen' I m sure Jaiden will have a good time doing a background check on him , Perhaps he should get himself on trouble then Edward would come rushing to him. She thought with inward chuckle thinking about scene , where Jaiden is standing in front of a road and saving him like a knight in shining armor, the alone was making her clench her eyes to control the bubbling laugh.

She controlled herself and walked to him , she sat infront him casually very well aware of his gaze on her face, she looked at him," what happened Ishaan, have your dinner," she told innocently putting a forkful meatballs in her mouth.

He cleared his throat and focused on his plate of food, " if you want I have some cough syrup in my room you can have it." She told him innocently the teasing glint in clear in her eyes as he narrowed his eyes at her.

" Nisha."

"Yes."

"Shut up." He said blankly and she started chuckling , making him look at her with a softened expression.

After dinner they both want to their respective room. As soon as she was inside her room she burst out laughing. "Oh God he is Soo Damm adorable, " she told herself chuckling. She took out her laptop and searched for 'Twilight',

" let's introduce Mr.Cullen to Mr.Singhaniya." she told herself chuckling.

She took her left and went to his room, as she stood on before his door she realized that in these months she never went inside his room it was always locked, she never really give it much thought but now after remembering Nicole's words she couldn't stop her thoughts from going south, he was always Soo mysterious dark , his aura was something which can make anyone shiver , his calculative eyes , sharp mind and the way he is always Soo closed off from everything.

Shut up Nish you think too much she scolded herself shaking her head, she knocked on his door, she suddenly felt nervous, she didn't know why but the standing in front of his room at night all alone with only both of them felt a different kind of intimate for her.

After few minutes the door was opened by him , he furrowed his brows looking at her, it was late at night and she never come to his room ever before let alone now for which he was thankful he didn't wanted her to stumble upon one of his gun, for a moment he was concerned that something happened but looking at her bright eyes full of mischief with a tint of nervousness eased his worries.

"What happened." He asked, his voice a whisper of huskiness sending a shiver down her spine.

"I m not feeling sleepy." She told him, Damm that voice, she tried to not notice the way his t-shirt did a bad work for hiding the hard muscles underneath it.

He raised a eyebrow, clearly wanting her to explain further, she shoot him a full blown angel smile," watch a movie with me." She told him sweetly.

He looked at her blankly ," No." He told her and tried to shut the door but she was quick to place her hand between the door.

She looked at him with big hopeful eyes," please." She told him with a big pout.

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Pretty please with a cherry on top and lots of ice creams."

He tried god Damm he tried to stop the tiny little smile which broke free on his lips but he couldn't not when this damm crazy adorable Enchantress was standing before him with her big brown eyes full of Hope pointed to him , eyes which are death of him.

"Huh you smiled, oh my God Ishaan Singhaniya smiled , I m going to be written in future history for witnessing this moment, oh my God someone get me my Damm my mobile, let me pinch myse...ouch... this means it's not a dream...oh my gosh I going to faint no..no..I have to stay wake for the media and museum authority...." She keeps on rumbling with her one her on her cheek with a a shocked face another holding her laptop.

"Nisha..." He called her to stop her moment of shock, biting his lips to stop the smile, finally defeated he held her arm and crushed her to his chest and clamped his on her mouth. Ishaan could swear he could hear his own heartbeat as it thumped loudly with their proximity, the feel of her soft plump lips creating havock in his mind as he hand brushed them, her soft hand on his chest with only a barrier of a thin t-shirt Oozing warm in his chest melting the years of harsh coldness.

" Breath" He told her removing his hand from her lips to tuck a tendril of her hair behind her ear.

Nisha was to dazed response to him, she was intoxicated by his nearness but it also surrounded her with a blanket of warm and protectiveness. But what effected her most was that that small breathtaking curve of his lips, the most beautiful smile she ever saw.

" You should smile more." She told him with a a breathy whisper , the flash of that smile never leaving her mind.

Ishaan shook his head his eyes flashing million of pain life throwed at him." We need a reason for smile Nisha, and not everyone is that lucky." He told her taking off his hands from her and stepping back to put some space between them, he held the door frame in a tight grip.

That sentence had thousands of unsaid words , a cry of a helpless Boy who had no one to lean on, who watched his loved once dying in front of his eyes, twice.

The pain in those dark eyes broke Nisha's heart apart, she wanted nothing more then to hide him in her arms and took away whatever trauma life throwed at him, but she knows she can't do anything about the past , she knows she can't change what has passed but she vowed to change what is yet to come, she vowed she will do anything for his happiness, she will do anything to keep that beautiful smile intact.

"Soo now that you smiled it means you are going to watch movie with me." Nisha told him cheerily ducking below his arms which was holding the door frame to enter his room.

His eyes widened," What fuck no , Nisha wait." He run behind to the room to see her happily settled on his bed.

He glared at her," Get out." He told her blankly.

She ignored him Royal and patted the sit beside her," sit I m going to start the movie." She said.

"I m not going to watch any Damm movie and you are getting out Right Now." He told her strongly.

She narrowed her eyes at him." Soo you are not going to watch with me." She asked him.

"No."

"Fine then." She shrugged placed the laptop down, and stood up from bed and walked towards him, he raised eyebrow at her knowing very well something was going through her devilish mind.

She stood on her toes in front of him and held his shoulder she could feel his tensed posture stiff Like a rock she smiled to herself," If you Don't watch movie with me then I m going to hug you very very tightly and not leave you until you convinced, choose is yours." She whispered in his ears biting her lips to stop the giggle which threatened to break lose at the blank look he sent her.

He cleared his throat ," I think a movie is fine." He told her walking towards the bed and sitting straight like a pillar, Nisha with a small smile sat beside him resting her back to the headrest. She started the movie and watched it keenly while he stared bored.

When the male lead Introduce scene Nisha diverted her attention to him. He was looking at the screen with the most bored expression such a grumpy vampire she made a face secretly but when the 'Cullen family was introduced' Ishaan expression changed from bored to surprised to embarrassment.

Ishaan was not a movie person , he never had time for those entertainment. He stared at the screen with no attention until a Name was mentioned.

"And that is Edward Cullen."

His eyes widened in surprise as slowly everything made sense that why she wanted to watch movie with him suddenly. All these times I wasted my time after a fictional character who is a walking ghost, fuck you Ishaan just go and shot yourself Ishaan thought he never been this embarrassed in his life before.

"Now I hope Jaiden doesn't have to do a background check on Edward Cullen." Nisha told him with a teasing smile,

Ishaan looked away from her to hide the smile on his face , he cleared his throat and composed his expression," I just wanted make sure that you are safe." He said coolly.

Nisha nodded," Yeah I believe you." She said with a teasing smile. She saw his dusky skin turning a little flushed and mentally cooed Aww he is such a..grumpy cruddly vampy she thought, she secretly clicked his picture.

"Nisha."

"Yes."

"Shut up."

Nisha smiled to herself and nodded her head, she looked around his room, she was not surprised by the black interior , the room screamed of him dark and mysterious but it was Soo dull, there was not a single photo of his family or himself, Nisha always noticed that he never talked about his family or his personal life, there was not much information on the internet to just that he lost his parents and baby sister in childhood, Nisha could guess why he was like this what struggle and demons he must have to face to be what he is today, he didn't become a billionaire company CEO just over night specially when he didn't had anyone to have his back.

Nisha sighed and focused back on the movie.

Ishaan looked at her , he realized that she is a very expressive watcher, and soon Ishaan boredom was cut short by her entertainment, she would start talking with the character , voicing her thoughts on that scene.

"I wish I have someone like Edward." Nisha sighed dreamily watching the accident scene.

Ishaan scowled at her words really that white ghost he thought with a disgusted expression, he did not understand what she saw in that white ghost, that guy was looking someone dipped him in white paint, her choose is too bad , for fuck sake he looks like snowman his thoughts were cut short when a weight fall on his shoulder, he turned his gaze to see her sleeping peacefully. He shook his head amusedly such a baby she is he thought with a smile. He removed the laptop from her lap and placed it on the bedside table. He then gently made her laid down. He got down from the bed and covered her with the duvet, he saw Ben standing on the doorway wriggling his tail.

"Come in your owner already hijacked my bedroom, why should you be missed." He said rolling his eyes, the bundle of fur climbed into the bedside Nisha and laid down beside her.

Ishaan looked at the scene in fondness, a warm feeling settled in his heart. He smiled and dropped a feathery kiss on both of their head, covering them properly he left the room.

Hearing the closing of door , she opened her eyes, the feeling of his lips still lingering in her memories, the simple feather light touch spoke thousands of unsaid words but most importantly it meant I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt and Nisha can hear those loud and clear , he wants her , he adores her but for some reason he is holding him back.

Closing her eyes she pulled Ben closer to shut down thoughts.

_______________

The loud blaring of the alarm made Nisha curse loudly, she woke up groggily shutting the alarm. She looked at the time and again fall asleep.

After a few minutes.

"7:30." Nisha screamed jolting up from the bed, she has only a half hour before her classes starts.

She want to the bathroom but again come running inside to take her clothes. She did a quick freshing up.

Throwing everything on bag , she picked up a comb and run downstairs.

Ishaan who was on call saw her movie like a wind. he hung up the call and observed her.

"Jenny Aunty I m going." Nisha shouted giving quick scratch to Ben back.

"What about your breakfast." Jenny asked holding her breakfast.

" Can't have already to late." Nisha said running like the devil was behind her but bumped into the devil himself who was actually infront of her .

Speak of the devil Nisha thought, she tried to run past him but he had a death grip on her.

"Ishaan leave me I m getting late." Nisha said impatiently.

"You are not stepping a foot out without having your breakfast Ms.Ahuja." Ishaan said strictly.

"No I m getting late." She said trying to wriggling away.

"Fine then." Ishaan said clenching his jaw , he picked up toast from Jenny's hand and shoved it inside her mouth while she was talking, her eyes widened.

"Chew." He said looking at her eyes which were shooting daggers at him. She chewed hurriedly and opened her mouth give him a piece of her mind but he again feed her another toast.

"His wof cair.." Nisha tried to shout with her mouthful and Ishaan nodded.

"Okay." He said nodding alone which caused Nisha to fume harder.

Jenny who was standing there looked at them fondly , she couldn't help but aww at their cuteness but she felt genuinely happy for him . She has seen how scattered Ishaan life was and now she was glad that there was someone to gather his scattered piece and treasure them securely.

"Ishaan this is...umm.," her shout was cut off as he placed the glass of juice near her lips, she glared at him and stubbornly kept her lips shut.

" Hurry up Nisha, the longer you remain stubborn the late you will get for class." He told her boringly.

Shooting him a murderous look she started drinking the juice. After finishing it as Ishaan took away the glass from her lips and left her.

"I hate you Ishaan Singhaniya, if today I get kicked out of the class because of you then I m going to fill manipulation and forceful feeding case on you." Nisha shouted running out of the house.

She hurriedly sat inside the car and took out the comb to brush her still messed up wet hair ," Jaiden drive like the devil is our tail... or should I say vampire." Nisha muttered to herself that last part.

Throughout the drive to university, Nisha couldn't stop thinking about him , the little incident of night made her heartbeat rising , he cared about her , he felt something for her and it was enough assureness for Nisha too let her feelings run wild for him,

She was surprised that how much he has occupied her thoughts that each time she thinks of something, talk about something, look at something it will eventually lead her to him. She was getting obsessed with Ishaan Singhaniya and she didn't regretted it a bit.

You truly are devilish vampire Ishaan Singhaniya she thought with smile as her whole face flushed remembering him feeding her few minutes back.
