Ishitha's pov:

I stirred in my sleep, I can't move my body freely cause I am laying on the floor.

The clock reads 3 in the morning, my body is so paining, seems like all my muscles are constricted and in dire need of a release

My stomach is growling, I just  had an half sandwich yesterday morning, if I didn't stuff my tummy with food I will faint any second. I just gained some lost blood through eating fruits at home and I still yet to gain some more to reach the normal blood level.

I went inside washroom to get fresh, I stepped out and about to remove my office dress but the frame on night stand caught my attention. I made my way towards bed and sat on it. I picked up the frame to admire him, I don't know what happened so sudden that he is behaving like a stubborn child. I hope the words he said are true.

If he truly is in love with me I will get back with him if not and that's the end of our story. I am sure he will go back india sooner or later, he can't live without working right? It's just a phase and I can get over it eventually. I just have to keep my emotions in control and everything is gonna be alright.

I put back frame on night stand to change into Pajamas and made my way into kitchen to make some delicious food.

I pondered on what to prepare for twenty minutes,my stomach didn't stop shouting for food and I have no idea what to cook. My life sucks.

The door to my house opened without my help, I think I forgot to lock it when he left yesterday. I went to see who it might be at this hours of morning.

And yes it is arjun
"Good morning darling" He greeted seeing me standing before kitchen wall

"What are you doing here arjun? "

"I bought food for you" How does he know about this?

"Don't ponder too much ishitha I know everything about you, just come and eat"saying this he placed big bowl he bought on the dining table

I am damn hungry , if I start getting cozy with him I will get hurt again but he will leave in few days if I stay Unwavering, right? Just this one time  won't harm right? with that thought I sat at table.

He bought water bottles and cutlery from shelf showing me his gentleman side. Don't fall for it dumbass. My subconscious chided but I have already fallen for this man.

"I made spinach pancakes, hope you like them" He started serving, and I am gazing at his beautiful hands despite my brains scoldings.

"Taste and say it " He said excitedly rubbing his hands.

Like an Indian that I am I eat using my hand and damn they are tasty, at first I thought they won't be good on my tongue cause of that leafy veggie, but I am wrong, in my hunger I didn't bother about anything and am eating like a Buffalo.

"Seems like you like them" He said pouring water into empty glasses,i looked up and saw this beautiful smile on his face or might I add an amusing smile whatever I am in no mood to describe his smile cause I am starving.

He too started eating, the silence is Sufferabel, now and then I can sense his gaze on me which is not at all making me uncomfortable.

The honey and walnuts on them added some more taste I should appreciate his efforts but he is stalking me, meddling my privacy, so I won't.

"So how are they?" He asked after we completed eating

"Not bad and thanks but don't do it again" I stood up and started collecting cutlery to be rinsed.

"I can't see you starving so I made them with so much love ishitha" His voice held that love emotion, for a second I believed in him.

I neither answer nor look at him, made my way to sink

"Lemme help" He said taking the washed bowl to dry them with a cloth, there is just the sound of work till the task in hand completed then I looked up to see his face, he is busy arranging plates on cutlery stand.

"When are you leaving
arjun?"

"When you are ready" His reply made me furious but I spoke calmly.

"What if I never will?" I rested my waist on kitchen island while he is busy drinking water.

After closing the cap of bottle he walked forward still there's no space left between us, he slowly placed the bottle beside me on island and pulled back, I breathed out loudly and closed my eyes instantly regretting the action. I opened my eyes and saw him smirking at me.

"Oh you will baby, just a matter of few days and we will be busy satisfying our desires under sheeths in that bedroom" He said pointing his finger at that said room.

My body heated up imagining his words, I slightly pushed him back for some more space.

"That's not going to happen Arjun Dahiya, soon you will realise you are wasting your time here and will move back to India" I walked past him

"If not for my promise of not touching you I would be fucking you on this table right now, you look so sexy when you are fiesty Ishitha Dahiya" He said taking my breath away. Is he trying to turn me on? So that he can win me? Mistake Arjun. A big wrong step.

"You are not going to win me with your filthy words arjun" Saying this I locked myself in my bedroom.

I still have four and half hours so I planned on working on the project.

Around 7.45 am I started getting ready to office, i am going to be in sun today so I applied some good amount of protection to my face.

I am walking out of my room with my bag but halted seeing arjun sleeping peacefully on my couch, I walked slowly and stopped beside the couch, now I clearly observed his face, it's so dull,dark circles are so evident under his eyes.

Leaving a sigh I patted on his hand which is laying on his stomach, he didn't budge and I have no heart to disturb his sleep but I have to leave for work so I left leaving a stick note on his face saying

I am leaving for work, lock the house before you leave and don't show up like yesterday.

                          Goodbye
                              Ishitha.

Like everyday office car came to pick me up sharp at 8.15

"Good morning" Jin said from shot gun holding a burrito in hand.

"Morning jinnyy"

"Don't call me with that name, I am not a pet for God's sake"
He groaned and is throwing daggers at me through the mirror.

"But it suits you better Jin" Our driver Arthur said looking at the road.

"Stop spoiling my name, my mom will kill you if she came to know about this" He huffed and resumed eating.

We are directly going to visit the farmhouse project,remaining members are too coming there directly.

It will take at least half an hour to reach there so I called ishan

"What's up looser" Came his voice

"Nothing much dumb ass"

"How are you and my brother
in law doing?" He asked in his teasing tone

"I am good and don't know about him"

"Lie as much as you can" He chuckled.

"Whatever how is asha?"

"Good and is at work"

"Okay I will call her then bye"

"Okay bye" We hang up.

And I dailled for asha's number, talked for a while about her health and new place till we reached our destination.

The work has already started, our team members are waiting for me and Soon we started working at the site.

"I am sorry to say this but your husband is flirting with nina outside"  Jin whispered. Actually we are inside the house looking at the interior design.

Furiously I walked out and saw him smiling widely at nina. I felt jealous seeing them like that. In long strides I marched to them.

"What are you doing nina?" I crossed my arms on my chest

"Oh I am just talking with our customer" She said all the while looking at him, why wouldn't she?
He is looking dashing in that black t shirt and blue jeans.

"Who?"

"Our client send his friend Mr. Pitt here on behalf of him"

"What the.." I stopped seeing all the confused faces. Everyone is looking at us and I don't wanna put a show for em so I crumbled my irritation and smiled at him.

"Welcome Mr. Pitt" I said

"Thank you Ms..... " He changed his accent, what an actor.

"Singh it's Ms. Singh" I smiled bitterly, gripping his hand tight.

"I like indian women" He is enjoying this.

"Evey one back to work" I announced and walked back inside the house.

I am livid but I can't blow out on my employees so I calmed myself in rest room. I came back and saw him talking to jin.

"What are you doing here?" I whisper yelled at him.

"Didn't you hear her a minute
ago? "

"Why are you wasting your time arjun? " He is busy gazing at the newly changed designs.

"Does it bother you?" His accent is back and is filled with warmth the one I am used.

"Nope" I turn away from his face, swallowing hardly.

"Then why are you wasting your time thinking about me ishitha?" He leaned down to whisper in my ear, evoking a jungle inside my stomach.

He is smiling looking at my state, damn! Why can't I be strong in front of him?

Without saying anything I turned around to continue my work. He keep on disturbing my working either by talking to jin Or by flirting with nina. Despite all these chaos I completed what we have planned.

"Let's have food at this diner" Peter the one who asked me on a date suggested showing the ratings for that particular diner on google.

I smirked inside, two can play the game arjun.

"Let's go" I grinned at him

We arrived at that diner, arjun already sat at a table talking to nina. My heart burnt so I dragged Peter along with me to sit beside their table. Arjun's grip around his fork tightened.

"Order please?" The Waiter asked in his australian accent.

"What is famous in here?" I gave him my beautiful smile.

"Me around girls,but I can't serve myself right?" The waiter smirked, I laughed at his joke.

"Okay,bring me the best in your restaurant" I said and gave chance for others to order.

"You are doing this on purpose
right?" Jin whispered in my ear, I winked and got a head shake in return from him

"You are such a tease
ishitha"  Peter's words got my attention "I mean you are deliberately killing many hearts despite knowing you can't take it further with them" He said looking at me amusingly.

I leaned forward to whisper in his ear knowing arjun's heated gaze on us. "Why do only boys have all the fun always, let's girls have it for a while" I smirked and leaned back.

I turned to arjun and saw him glaring at him leaving that poor nina who is talking to no end. I feel bad for her.

After having food we retired back to work. This time arjun didn't Pull any stunts to make me jealous so i worked in peace ,around four we all packed our bags to leave.

"Ishitha have you bought a dress for the ball?" Nina asked shoving her charts inside her bag.

"No" I answered

"Actually I am going to buy one for me, wanna come?"

"Yes" Jin answered for me.

As it is saturday tomorrow which means a lot of rest so I nodded to tag along.

Jin took a cab,not listening to my pestering to go in my office car. Saying it's too much privilege.

"Wait why is he coming?"

"I asked him to come" Nina replied looking dreamily at arjun, who made himself comfortable in the shot gun.

"So what is your actual profession Mr. Pitt?" I literally groan inside.

"I am a director"

"Oh wow that's amazing, for which film you are working right now?" We both are  staring at each other through the front mirror.

"I am working for Dune right now" I placed my hand over my lips not to smile and turned away to look outside

Before nina could open her mouth my phone rang, it's call from maa.

"Hello maa, how are you?" I  totally forgot to call her yesterday.

"I am good how are you doing darling?"

"Good, how is papa?"

"He is fine and busy as always, is arjun troubling you?" She whispered the last part, I looked up and saw him already looking at me through the mirror. So everybody knew about his surprise visit to Barcelona huh?

"Sorry I am just prying" She chuckled getting nothing from my mouth "Okay take care love you" She hung up

We both starred at each other like that, his eyes are so captivating, nina is too busy typing on her mobile to observe us, I looked away first from his intense gaze.

We reached a huge botique that I know nothing about. We three walked inside, him to my left and her to my right.

"Hello beautiful girls" A woman in her fifties greeted us "And young boy" She smiled at arjun.

"We want two beautiful gowns for a ball" Nina talked on behalf of us

"This way please" She gestured for us to follow and we did

"What is this ball about?" Arjun whispered in my ear

"I have no idea" I replied shrugging casually

"Let's try ishitha" Nina ran excitedly towards  different styles of gowns.

"Want help in selection?" He asked again

"No need Mr. Pitt, maybe Nina needs it go and help her" I gritted and walked further to look through the designs.

After roaming for ten minutes I selected two gowns both are black in colour.

"What do you think of this?" Nina is showing him the one she selected but his eyes are on me and my gowns.

I walked gracefully inside to try them out. One is so gorgeous but is revealing my legs ,cleavage and is back less, other one is not revealing but didn't look good on me. I am not a fan of uncomfortable clothes but don't know why I walked out in that revealing dress to show nina.

"Damn!! " She gushed, I saw arjun face turning red cause of anger.
"You are looking soooo hot"

"No, she is looking ugly" Arjun's blunt answer made Nina to look at him shocked

"No she is looking good" Nina glared at him which shocked me.

I removed the gown to get it packed.

"You are being a pain in as ahem neck ishitha" Arjun muttered in my ear while we are billing at the counter.

I didn't respond but smiled sweetly at him and walked out, he too followed us with his red face.

"Okay bye guys, see you on Monday" Nina left in cab only after kissing him on cheek.

My office car came to pick me up, I dashed and sit inside trying so hard not to kill anybody with my jealousy

He too joined inside me in the car

"Get out arjun" I yelled

"Start the car Arthur" Arjun commanded, the fuck?

Why is every one is listening to him?

Ride started to my apartment, unable to control my anger I started beating him on the chest

"Why are you doing this to me?" I yelled, tears already filled my eyes

"I love you" His confession stopped me from beating him. I look at his face, his eyes are red and filled with tears.

I turned my head away to look at the busy city, the remaining ride is filled with my sniffing and his harsh breathing.
