It has been a week since that incident.

We were almost going to kiss.

I can still feel his breathe fanning around my neck. Whenever I'm around him, my heart flutters and it seems as if I don't have any control over myself around him. I just agree to whatever activities in which I've the most probable chances of seeing him and I just keep on staring at him.

Tho people say he's cold but no it's just that he doesn't comes out of his shell so soon, but with me he managed to come out so soon. Beneath the cold facade there stays a child who wants to feel the warmth and love, and somehow I'm willing to give it. Is this what we call loving someone? If yes, then I guess I caught feelings for him.

One part of me is happy that I've caught feelings and the one is sad Rudra is not a normal guy. I literally don't know what is going on in his brain as he always plaster his face with a hardened face.

And the way he ignores girls in college is really insulting. If I ever confessed feelings he would treat me the same way, I guess I would play the cards close to my chest and I will never tell him about my feelings. Maybe that way I'll forget about him and by that time I'll not love him.

I see someone snapping their fingers at me, and I was brought back to reality.

"What happened Kartik?" I asked him folding my clothes.

"Cook me something" he growled like a baby. "I'm not in the mood for cooking" I said

"But I'm hungry" he pouted. I don't know when he is going to learn 'how to cook'

"Order something for you then" I suggested him, "will you pay for the order" he asked me because probably he must have finished his pocket money.

All he does with his money is that, he invests in football.

"Naa" I shrugged

"Then cook for me something" he demanded

"What the hell? I don't want to" I shoo him away giving him some of my money, otherwise he would have ate my brain, instead of snacking.

Sometimes I feel I'm the elder sibling and he is the younger one acting all childish. I don't know how his wife is gonna handle him.

He came back after a long time along with some snacks. I asked him to bring something for me as well.

He brought me my favourite american mudpie along with some pizzas to snack on. Looks like the five kilograms which I've lost by lots of hardwork is going to vain.

"Kartik, why did you bought pizza?" I cried in frustration.

"Because I wanted to snack on pizza" he said chewing the extremely cheesy pizza that made my mouth open in hunger. Seeing me like this he took out three slices of pizza in plate and passed it on to me.

"Eat, eat" he said forwarding the plate.

"But my weight..." I said taking a bite of pizza.

"Don't worry, we will workout together. Now fucking eat it" he tried convincing me. I had a wide smile at his offer and started eating the pizza but then I realized I didn't had ketchup on my plate. Mostly people hate me for eating pizza with ketchup but wait babygirl or babyboy. I'm eating pizza with ketchup since childhood so I can't change my childhood habits for sure.

I was bringing the ketchup bottle on the dining table when my phone ringed, Kartik took a glance at it, "Oiii Rudra is video calling you"

Hearing his name made me almost sprint to swipe the green the button on my phone.

Remember Preshtha be sober, act all goofy and don't freaking tell about your feelings

He must have been off to his business trip. Lol I pity on him that he is not able to enjoy the sunday. Kartik was eyeing me as if I would do something with Rudra.

Gosh stop staring at me. It is invading my privacy. My conscience mocked

I took my dish and ran towards my bedroom to attend the call.

"Hello, from India" I greeted Rudra as he was in London.

He chuckled, "Hello, from London"

"What's going on?" I asked him as I placed my phone on dressing table so that I can eat my pizza properly.

"What do you expect? Meetings, business parties and stuffs. It's very tiring" he said frustratingly.

"Yeah, can sense your tiredness" I said. He looked like as if he could sleep anytime.

But then I noticed he was wearing a suit. He looks much more hotter then he is usually.

"You look extremely hot" I said. Well flirting did seem foreign on my tongue but since I had some realisations I should probably do as I most probably won't be able to as when he will get a girl. My mouth was hung open looking at him. His eyes widened at what I just said, "Are you hitting on me?" He asked.

"Not at all, I was complimenting you" I lied him.

"It's just, seeing you wearing a suit is different and you look much more hot" I said genuinely.

I've always been honest about people's looks.

He chuckled, "thank you so much, this is the first time you are complimenting me"

"Well I can't compliment you all the time, otherwise you would put me in your 'simp for me' list" I air quoted the sentence and let out a laugh.

"Oh trust me, I won't keep you in that list" he flirted.

"Oh so now you are hitting on me" I took a bite from the pizza and replied him simultaneously. I really liked this side of him being all goofy, he looks so cute.

He nodded in return and then we talked about London.

"What do you want me to bring from London?" He asked me. My eyes widened, "I don't want anything" I shook my head.

"Either you are telling me what shall I bring or I'll bring something on my own" he commanded me. Why is he so stubborn?

"Maybe chocolates?" I said confusingly

"And?" He questioned me

"You" I blinked my eyes rapidly as I said 'you' while playing a wide smile on my lips

"Oh no I'm settling in London. I don't think I would ever come back there" he joked.

"And.. and bring penhaligons perfume" I said, "the perfume is manufactured in UK itself, so yeah bring that"

He noted that down on something.

"Noted, anything else?" He smiled at me through the other side of the screen.

"I'll say" I told him, & he nodded in return.

"Okay, I've to go. I got a lot like, a lot of girls drooling over me here" he chuckled.

"Yeah" I laughed out, "make a better girlfriend this time" I obviously didn't meant what I said. I just said that so that we can probably have something to laugh on. I like him, na love him they say a person can make you feel things in a span of two months than a person who didn't make you feel things in two years.

He nodded in return as he laughed out. Hearing his laugh soothes me, how can his voice be even this perfect. The whole dude is probably perfect.

"Okay now, I'm getting late for the meetings, bye" he waved me a bye

"Bye, miss me" I chuckled.
