The Quill Part 2- - Page 69

They have unspoken chemistry. Both anticipate others reaction.

Beautifully written Nisha.

Having very hectic work days and this is something I came back to whenever wanted to lighten my mood.

He is so sweet at times:

He got up and began tidying the room, checking the bathroom❤️❤️
He brought all her stuff and put itaway in an annexe ❤️
“Do I pick u up and walk across the threshold?”🤩

“I have leftover Indian food” he tempted her ❤️

He is feeding her before he wears her off 🤣

He wants to whisk her off to the apartment. More cozy that way.

Only one bedroom in the apartment. They will be sharing again.

He made sure he even had food for her. He knew she might want it.

“So we are closer to it then” she nodded relaxing

“We could do it on Zoom” he offered

“Nahi, I like… seeing”

“Him?”

“Meeting the team” “U are suddenly my husband now”

“No… have been for 4 months”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wagers

He went to bed when she did, and he laughed when she fluffed up her pillows elaborately

“Kyon has rahe ho?”

“Nothing”

“It’s a great looking place but the pillows aren’t squishy enough” she warned settling down and shutting her eyes

“You are supposed to stay up for an hour after dinner”

“What I ate was an early breakfast, its going to be 4 AM soon”

He leaned and inhaled her forehead she froze in shock

“U have a swift answer for everything don’t you?”

“Its soooo late” she groaned stretching

He relaxed his stance, letting his body rub over her

“U should sleep in”

“Nahi… that would be so unprofessional” she whispered into his eyes

They both were thinking about how things might have been…

Would they have picked each other?

He would have never… I might have… I am so shallow I would have fallen for his looks

“Papa would have never arranged a marriage with a Pradyut Munjal” she thought wistfully

Speaking of Papa, she went on her phone, as he leaned on the headboard and did the same

She scrolled through old security footage and spotted someone that looked like Gaurav

She was paranoid she realized

She went through a few others…

Yep, it was him!!

She texted her mother, “Gaurav Bhai store mein jaate hain?”

She realized it must be real early for her mother, she had reead receipts on… so it was going to be easy

Nidhi Bhushan saw the note and didn’t respond, her heart sank

Gaurav had gone back to Bangalore now, or so she thought… why stir up old troubles?

“K lights out” he growled, leaning over her and shutting out her night light”

“I am surprised they don’t have voice activated or Google activated lights” she taunted softly

He pressed down on her body, his twinkling eyes, filled with laughter

“U just cant seem to admit this is better than the hotel”

“U just cant approve of such accommodations for employees” she taunted

He slowly kissed her lips in moonlight

She held his ribs with both hands

“In case u want to go all the way, I am not on the pill” she whispered trying to be “cool” “But then I am 5? days away from my cycle”

“So No protection required?” he smiled on her lips

“Or on the other hand u might need to protect yourself as I am not exactly sunshine and rainbows when I PMS” she growled yawning

“Oh I know” he laughed, his body shaking

She stiffened in protest

I am game for a good fight, if you want one” he offered bending over her face

“Hato Pradyut” she whispered

“We have a week to tear each other up” he nodded amused

“I will not start a fight” she told him haughtily pushing him away

He rolled her to her side

“Are we betting?”

“Sure… whats your wager”

“If u lose…”

“Just speak for urself” she whispered

“If I lose…..”

“I can go back to that hotel”

“If u do, we extend the stay by a week” he whispered

“Tumhare saath tumhare ghar mein rehti hoon, yaha kyon nahi reh sakti?” she pooh poohed it

“I haven’t finished my sentence” his lips twitched

“I can do ur laundry” she rolled her eyes

“I am not telling”

She tried not to snuggle up… as sleep swallowed her

Nisha …….

I guess I am more anxious than Pradyut and Taara 🤣.

Agge kya hua?

Since long long time we haven’t got back to back update. Is there any chance of that this weekend?

“If u do, we extend the stay by a week” he whispered

I do hope this stay gets extended.

“In case u want to go all the way, I am not on the pill” she whispered trying to be “cool” “But then I am 5? days away from my cycle”

“So No protection required?” he smiled on her lips

She leads him. Giving an open invitation.
