"What did you just called me?" His brown orbs narrowing at me as I had jerked his hand away.

"Selfish, arrogant monster," I repeated my words, paying emphasis on each word. Eyes glancing at him once again, folding my arms around my chest in utter annoyance. "You just care about your pride. What about your friends? Do you have any idea how worried everyone is? Maybe you loved the prison, but we don't." I glared at him, trying to act as intimidating as him.

His eyes showered with amusement, later changing into adoration. I groaned in irritation, stamping my foot in frustration. He wasn't taking my words seriously. Getting pissed at him, I wanted to walk out of his room. He had returned home safely. I could walk back home without any worry, but as I took a step forward, he grabbed my wrist.

"Where are you going?" He demanded.

"Home," I announced.

"And may I know, why?" His awful question compelled me to face him again. The earlier adoration replaced with annoyance. It was beyond my thinking capacity how sudden swift of mood was possible?

"To have a party." Came my sarcastic reply combined with exasperation. He glared at me but suddenly tugged me closer. His grip on my wrist providing him with an aid.

Due to his sudden moment I bumped into his chest, our face inches away from each other. His intense eyes driving deep into my soul. I averted my gaze not able to hold his such intensity. His hand moving from my wrist towards my waist, holding me on the position. His head slowly leaning down from my forehead towards my neck. Those warm breath sending shiver down my every inch. His grip on my waist holding me closer to him. He wasn't planning to leave me any time sooner.

As his face nuzzled in my neck, breathing my scent. My heart accelerating at the highest speed. It scared me that my heart might jump out of my ribs. "Can we keep this argument for some other day. I don't have enough energy left for a debate." He confessed, inhaling my scent. "I need some amount of peace after the overwhelming day." He grunted, "please don't oppose it." As if he wasn't deciding for me yet I kept quiet letting him win for once.

I knew it hadn't ended up into a wonderful day for him. "I need you to calm my senses." He whispered in my ears before pressing a kiss on my earlobe. Thousands of emotions erupt from my stomach. It was scary as his mere touch had enormous effect on me.

The rays emerging from the curtain  in the room, brightening it up. I groaned wanting to nuzzle my face further into the pillow but a strong arm around my stomach wasn't helping me to move an inch. I grumbled slowly rubbing my eyes in displeasure. I hate mornings! But instead of meeting with my vacant room was offered dark brown orbs. Those beautiful piece of creation staring into me as if I was the most interesting creation in the world.

I widen my eyes on remembering that I had ended up sleeping in his arms last night. "The view I would love to start my day with..." he muttered. His voice gruff due to waking up come minutes back. But his feature yelled he was fully awake, the huge smirk playing on his lip. How come everyone around me was early bird?

He leaned his head forward pressing a kiss on my forehead. Later pulling me against his chest, I closed my eyelid in peace. I loved my sleep! But my phone rang forcing me to pull away from his grip but he didn't let me budge.

"Ehaan..." I scowled wanting to glance at the caller.

He sighed raising his arm which were caressing my hair. He raised himself a little and soon the ringtone was getting clear. Slowly loosening his grip but not withdrawing his hand from my waist. He moved his arm forward so I could glance at the caller. It was mom, maybe she was calling to wake me up. I had school! I rolled my eyes in defeat.

He answered the call. I widen my eyes as he kept it on speaker. "Are you awake? Or are you planning get late for the school." She mentioned, I grumbled.

"It's six in morning, mom."

"So? You better wake up, Ru." She scolded. I narrowed my eyes at the cell. "And how is Ehaan?" She inquired after a pause of second. "You better don't argue with him." She warned further widening my eyes in surprise. I raised my eyes to glance at amused Ehaan.

"You are forgetting, you are my mom." What was it with mom and always supporting my friends rather been with me?

"Because I trust him, he won't come up with something foolish." Only if she knew him! I rolled my eyes at her remark, my chin was raised up to face Ehaan. His interrogating eyes staring straight into my orbs. "Stop wasting time in talk and get ready. Don't forget about get-together, today." She reminded me before ending the call

"Why did you rolled your eyes? Don't you trust me?" He questioned, getting displeased with my attitude.

"No!" I bounced back, jerking his hand away from my stomach. He was taken aback by my action. As I stood on my feet and glanced at the over-size shirt I was wearing. It reached just above my knees, I looked small in his extra-large shirt. I huffed in annoyance, stumping my foot. The over-large trousers dipping out of my feet making it highly impossible for me to take a step forward without stumbling on my feet.

"Fuck!" I heard his gruff voice emitting from deep within him. I darted my gaze towards him, he was staring at me while leaning his face on his elbow. "The most adoring sight, I ever seen." He muttered, a smile playing on his lip. "A girl busy having self-conversation," he chuckled getting up from his bed. "I can simply watch you been yourself and still be entertained for hours." He expressed. He was getting more vocal from past few days.

He stood in front of me, eyes lowering a little. His hands raising up, cupping my cheek. "The most beautiful trait of you is..." he paused, leaning to press a kiss on my forehead. "That you're so unaware about your effect on people surrounding you." He groaned as if irritated with the fact. I closed my eyes, his mere touch having numerous effect on me. Though he emphasized on effect I was having on others but what about his mere touch that made my heart jump out of my ribs?

"Man! I fucking don't want to go to school." He groaned pulling me into his chest. I wasn't aware he hated the building as much as me. But none would had enjoyed their school-life better than him. He didn't have to worry about the world. Least worried about scoring good exams as he was gifted. He wasn't even attending classes!

"You don't like school?" I inquired raising my head from his chest.

He stared into mine, giving a slight shake of his head. "Why?" I interrogated further curious to know about him. Though I was attracted towards him yet so unknown about him.

"Does anyone needs a reason to dislike the boring education institute." He shook his head at my lame question. "But I have my reasons..." He grumbled, darting his gaze from mine. He wasn't going to continue and I felt not to pull him further.

"Maybe Rudr could be one of them," I added. Making him to smirk at my mere attempt to pull him from the sad part of his life. "What about Viraj?" I winked. He gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"And you still in contact with him even after knowing he is the reason that news about yesterday got into your parents' ears." I widen my eyes in amazement.

"No! He won't..."

"Why you trust people so easily?" He shook his head, cupping my cheek. "That's the reason I want to protect you from the world around. They are cruel. The world is cruel for an innocent angel like you..." he muttered drawing patterns on my cheek.

"But can devil be less cruel for angel? At least, angel need to trust him enough with her life." I pleaded. His hand jerked away from me. Highly displeased with my choice of word.

"I don't want to listen to the utter rubbish again!" He was on the verge to walk away from me but I grabbed his elbow. "Not now!" He warned but I didn't loosen my grip from his wrist.

"Ehaan... I need to know some aspects of your life. You know about me but why your life is hidden from me? Don't I have any right to know it?" I inquired making him to glance at me for a second. "You make it possible that I have a safe environment. Even going beyond your ways to have a conversation with my mom at various events. You're determined not to let me fall but what if you did? Shouldn't I be there for you?" I questioned making his darken orbs to lighten slowly.

"You don't need to do anything to pull me together. Your mere presence does the magic," he pressed a smile. "But I promise, I will share every part of my soul with you. I need some time..." He paused, staring straight into my orbs. "I had never done it before!" He sighed, nervousness engulfing his spirit. I could feel the anxiousness covering his dark brown orbs and I wasn't planning to push him over the edge.

"It's fine..." I was going to cup his face but he interrupted me in between.

"But I want you to know that my life isn't on my terms. It was always controlled by my mom. From uttering my first word to controlling my future. She had a grab over it. From the minute dad left us she was over my breath. She hadn't allowed me to walk on my dreams. But the more she controlled me, the more I acted stubbornly. Breaking all the rules, she had planned for me. I hated staying under same roof along with her. She wants me to be next heir." He groaned, "she tests my patience so much." He slowly pressed his forehead with mine, one of his favourite position.

"Her over-controlling nature had forced me to be dominant in nature. If I want my needs to be fulfilled, I needed to over-power her arrogant nature. I know in my mission to overpower her. I had ended up into a devil." He muttered, displeased with his personality. "But the world around me made me believe to have some control over your life, you needed to fight, be stubborn, be cruel but you changed my narration of the world. Each time I glanced at you. I had no control over myself. I attempted at various event to control the emerging feeling, my thoughts about you but it was impossible. You made me helpless yet made me content. I started to feel that along with you, I no longer had to be in control." He grumbled, his constant pull and push action made sense. He wasn't confusing me but he was scared himself.

But my mind was curious about his frequent disappearance from football playground, not attending matches. Why did it happen? "Is your mom against your interest in..."

He nodded in agreement. "She wants me to complete my years in school and attend the most-highest university of the world." He shook his head, "I even bunk classes so I could fail but the curiousness I have on various topic and the unique ability of my brain cell, makes it impossible." He grunted, highly irritated with his skills that I label as his blessing. "She always hindered my progress by triggering me with her calls. Rudr had been a good companion of her. I had ended up into his biggest opponent. He envy's my talent." He dried a life, "as a reason always waiting for ways to destroy me." I shook my head as each things made sense to me. From the very beginning to now.

Ehaan's disappearance had always been a huge advantage for Rudr. From receiving the football captaincy to the verge of ending up as head. Rather than competing with Ehaan, he chose to defeat him with his inner weakness. Rather acting sporting, he behaved as an asshole. I groaned as I mentally cursed him.

"Hey," he lifted my chin to face him. "I don't want to spoil such a beautiful day due to them." He pleaded. His dark brown orbs stayed on mine. "You get freshen up... I will see if your uniform is ready." He whispered, and I gave a slight nod seeing him waiting for my response. His orbs showed concern as if it wasn't his past but mine and he needed to assure me that everything will be fine. He hesitated to leave me but soon walked towards the door.

I stood not moving an inch. How could he act so casual? As if not a minute back, he had shared his suffering. I was so wrong when I thought he was a gifted child. The biggest curse would be having such an authoritative parent. A mother figure that never provided him with an opportunity to love her. A father figure that he had maybe lost at a tender age.

"And just to make it clear. My clothes make you more adorable." He muttered, bringing me out of my saddening thoughts. A grin playing on his lip as he winked at me in a silly manner. A blush spread on my cheek at his comment. He had knowingly accomplished in his task to shift my mind from his awful past.
