In the heavy rain, they couldn’t go back but stay in a hotel and she got to know that the hotel belonged to Nick. All the staff greeted them with respect as soon as they saw the couple.
“You go and change first,” Nick said so.
“No, you will catch a cold so you go first…” she protested.
“No, I won’t. So go and…”
“But…”
“Or maybe you want us to go in together?”
“No, I… I am going.” Sanaya quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door. Nick smiled and as someone knocked at the door, he went to open the door.
She was looking in the mirror when he knocked at the door and asserted, “Here are your clothes. Change into them.”
She slightly opened the door and when she was about to take the clothes from his hand her eyes caught on his body. Water was still dripping down to his wet hair and his body could be seen through his shirt as it was wet too. “Why don’t you change first? I really can wait.”
“Let’s do it together then.” As he was about to enter the bathroom, she quickly took the clothes from his hand and closed the door again.
On the way to the hotel, they got soaked in the rain. Nick took off his clothes and was wearing the new clothes the hotel manager arranged for him. He was about to put on the shirt but suddenly Sanaya’s voice came to be heard from inside the bathroom. Putting the shirt in his hand aside he immediately ran toward the bathroom. “Is anything wrong? Babe.”
She heard him asking. In a shy tone, she sounded hesitant, “Yeah… Umm, can you help me?”
“Sure. Open the door.”
Slowly the door was opened. Droplets of water were still dripping down her saree, she probably washed her face just a while ago and her long black wet hair fell on her back. He saw her shy face as she was looking down.
“What’s wrong?” he asked her.
She took steps backward and bit her lips. “I can’t unhook my bra strap, can you… help me…”
“Sure.”
‘Keep calm, keep calm. Stop getting so nervous…’ Sanaya kept her fists clenched when his hand slightly touched her back. As he was unhooking the strap of her bra, she grabbed her saree tightly and kept her head stooped as she was staring at the floor, she was super shy. All her badassness and her courage were not working on him. The difference between imagination and reality hits hard. She felt that not long ago when she noticed that as soon as she would be with him, none of the skills she learned would work.
Phew!!!
“It’s done.” His voice pulled her out of her reverie. “Thanks…” saying so when she looked up, she took a step back nervously and he quickly grabbed the corner of her saree and wrapping the saree around her he lifted her a little.
“What are you doing?” Sanaya couldn’t move nor do something as she was wrapped in the saree.
“Tying you so you don’t run away and can look at me as much as you want.” He asserted.
Hearing him she looked at him and blushed. Was he teasing her now?
“I don’t want to look.”
“Is it so? But I saw you look at my abs and get shy. Look at your cheeks and ears, they turned red.” He blurted out so and she bit her lips. ‘He even noticed that… so embarrassing…’
“I am not shy, why would I be? I have seen a lot of sexy men's abs. ahh, those abs were…” she deliberately looked up as if she missed looking at them.
Getting real annoyed he immediately put her down and Sanaya smiled mysteriously seeing how annoyed he seemed. She barely managed to stop her laughter. The smirk on his face was now gone, his poker face was funny. Just when she thought he was going to leave the bathroom, he surprised her. Suddenly he grabbed her by the waist and put her on the tabletop. Stunned as she looked at him, he looked at her intensely.
Sanaya gulped and bit her lips. He seemed utterly sexy the way he looked at her, she found it hard to look away.
All of a sudden, he leaned closer and she got more nervous. She bit her lips more and kept her eyes down. Nick touched her face and made her look at him. That intense gaze in his eyes towards her was increasing her nervousness more with the passing time. She couldn’t make herself look at him. As he leaned closer, she closed her eyes and clenched her fists nervously.
She could feel his closeness and his hot breath fanning her neck. She felt him touching her face gently but even though his touch on her face felt as if sending fire in her bones. Feeling his lips were closer to hers, she felt how much she wanted him to press his soft lips against hers. It felt so long since the last time she touched those kissable lips of his. She was awaiting. As she felt his body touching her lips Sanaya smiled…
“It’s dinner time. Are you sure you want to eat my finger only?”
Hearing his seductive voice and a little mixed with his laughter she opened her eyes. As soon as her eyes shot open, she saw him laughing. Looking at his finger between her lips Sanaya let go of his finger and started coughing. “Let’s have dinner first then…” as he gaped at her chest she looked at him with a blushed face and he smiled again. Touching her head he nuzzled his nose against hers and asserted, “You are so cute…” with that he sauntered out of the bathroom, leaving her a little annoyed.
‘Did he just trick me?’
Sanaya was done wearing the oversized shirt and pants she got. She was drying her hair when her phone started ringing. Taking a look at the screen she picked up the call, “Did you get anything?”
“Yes. I have found out who was behind the recent accident of Mr. Davis. But it’s a little surprising…”
Hearing the other person say so from the other side of the call, Sanaya narrowed her eyebrows. She put the call on speaker and putting it aside she asked, “Why?”
The informer from the other side of the call replied, “Because the person who tried killing him is Yehan Davis who happened to be his father.” Sanaya stopped blowing her hair as she heard him. Was she hearing wrong? How could it be possible? “It was not the first time but Mr. Davis had been attacked many times before and surprisingly, it was done by his father.”
“You might have a misunderstanding. How can it be his dad who loves him so much? Check it again.”
“No, my investigation cannot be wrong. I have proof. I am sending you the proofs so you will know that it’s true.”
After talking to the man, Sanaya was totally stunned. She was so surprised that he could hurt him. It didn’t make any sense. Sanaya told him already to find out the reason though. She was still in a daze until Nick entered the room. She couldn't let him know that she knew it.
At dinner, the whole time, she couldn’t stop looking at him. There was more than what she knew, she yet had to find out all the secrets she did not know about.
‘I want to cherish you every moment. I want to give you so much love that you will forget all your pain. I want to be your pain reliever and your everything. I will never act stupid as I did back then by leaving you alone… Never.’
