"C'mon lazy girl! Help me!"

Raman pulls up Ishita by her hand.

"No I'm tired! You've made me broom almost the whole mall!" Ishita says exasperated.

"Don't exaggerate! You've only cleaned 3 rooms. I did the rest."

"Whatever!" Ishita exclaims.

He pulls her closer to him. After their first kiss, they kissed a few more times. It felt like their lips and bodies were opposite magnets and both couldn't move away from each other. After their kissing session, they cleaned the mall and ate something.

Raman continued his work but got tired soon.

"Ishita! If you don't then I'll tell Sumit you like him." Raman teases Ishita.

"What? No! You can't do this!"

"Yes. I can and I will!"

Ishita groans for lying and follows him.

"What should I do?" Ishita questions raising her one eyebrow.

"I'll pick you up by your waist and you have to clean that top shelf." Raman explains.

Ishita nods at him and blushes at the thought of him holding her.

"Okay. So here hold this cloth. I'm going to pick you up now." Raman says handing her the cloth.

"One. Two. Three!"

He picks her up in the air by wrapping his arms around her thighs.

Ishita cleans quickly yet slowly as his breath on her back sent chills down her spine.

Ishita signals a thumbs up and Raman makes her stand safely on the floor.

He kisses her cheeks as gesture for Thank You.

"What did you find in Sumit? He has a girlfriend you know. He's a heartbreaker too. He doesn't deserve you!"

Ishita senses jealousy in his words and grins internally. 'Was he jealous? Did he like her? What if the customer he likes is she?' These thoughts wander inside her mind.

"Actually. I like bad boys!"

"I can be a bad boy too!" Raman pouts making Ishita giggle.

"You know what Raman? I wish this storm never ends. I like your company." Ishita sighs looking down.

"But we'll be friends right? After all you come here three times a week!"

"You noticed me?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't notice a girl who comes here shouting her brother's name?"

Ishita turns red with embarrassment.

"Fine. Fine."

Raman pulls her cheeks saying,'aww'.

"C'mon let's rest now!"

Raman pulls Ishita by her arm as they roam about sitting down on the floor. Raman sits first and Ishita sits between his parted legs,resting her back on his chest. His fingers find their way to her hairs and he starts playing with them.

He caresses her arm with his free hand making her feel sleepy and comfortable in his arms.

Her eyes close automatically and his fingers caress her cheek. She starts drifting into deep slumber.

She heard a whisper saying,"I like you Ishita. I like you a lot."

But she was too tired to comprehend it.

******

Ishita opens her eyes and feels heavy arms wrapped around her with light snores. She nestles her head deeper into his chest and wraps her arm around him. She opens her eyes and looks up at him. He looked cuter while sleeping. His hairs fell on his forehead. His mouth slightly open. He tightens his hold on her.

Ishita succeeds in wiggling out of his clutch and jumps out of his arms. She keeps a teddy beside him making him clutch the teddy and snuggle it.

Ishita looks at him with awe before turning on her heel and wandering around the mall. Ishita walks towards the transparent glass that showed the outside view. She could see her car parked in the parking area, fully drenched due to the heavy rain. The rain had lessened than before and Ishita was sure they would get out of here by tomorrow.

Her heart sinks at the imagination of them going on their separate ways after the mall reopens. She surely missed her family. She feels like crying.

This was a really big twist in her life. She never even imagined getting locked inside the mall with her crush. Her life was really a roller coaster ride.

She was deep in thoughts. Her hand on the glass looking at the dripping rain. The rain calmed her down.

Two arms wrap around her pulling her back.

"I freaked out when I didn't find you in my arms when I woke up!" Raman whispers in her ear and presses a kiss on her shoulder.

"Sorry! Just thought you needed some rest and me some time alone."

They stay silent for a few minutes. He was back hugging her as they watched the rain.

"The rain will stop by tomorrow." Raman comments.

"Yeah." Ishita agrees.

Raman sighs and leaves her. Ishita turns and runs towards him, reaching him she walks side by side with him.

"Let's play 10 questions?" Ishita suggests.

"Okay great! Let's begin! Your birthday?"

"14 December. Yours?"

"23 November." Raman says with a wink.

"Favourite colour?" Raman asks.

"Blue!" Ishita says with a smile,"Yours?"

"Black!" Raman says while Ishita frowns.

"All boys love black." Ishita days rolling her eyes.

"Whatever. Favourite food?"

"Pizza! Yours?"

"Same!"

"Favourite Hero?"

"Shah Rukh Khan!" Raman says, his eyes twinkling with admiration.

"Yours?"

"Varun Dhavan!" Ishita exclaims with a big smile making Raman roll his eyes.

"You're jealous of VD!" Ishita teases.

"Oh please! I look better than him!" Raman says cockily.

Ishita laughs at his words.

"He's very handsome!" Ishita argues.

"Ambition?" Raman asks changing the topic. He wouldn't deny, he felt jealous when he saw the love for Varun in her eyes.

"Way to become dentist!" Ishita says shaking her head.

"Oh! So you're going to pluck out teeth's. That's all you know!" Raman teases.

"Yours?"

"Well. First I would leave this part time job and then join my father's company as a CEO."

"Wow!" Ishita breaths.

"What di you dislike?"

"Everything that I don't like.!" Ishita giggles making Raman smack his head.

"You?"

"I dislike everyone who would separate you and me." Raman mutters under his breath which was not audible to Ishita.

"Huh? Did you answer?"

"No.!" Raman shakes his head,"There's nothing particular."

Ishita nods her head at his words.

"How many children do you want?" Raman asks all of a sudden.

"Umm..I love children actually but 2 are enough if they are too naughty. You?" Ishita gulps waiting for his answer.

"I want 11!" Raman says seriously making Ishita's eyes widen.

"Are you serious? Eleven?"

"I want to make a cricket team." Raman shrugs making Ishita gulp hard.

Raman laughs at her expression.

"I'm not serious. 2-3 are enough for me. After all I want my wife to myself too!"

"Aww! So cute!" Ishita exclaims.

Raman blushes a little and shies away.

"You look cute when you blush. Not all boys blush!"

"I'm not blushing. I'm feeling hot. You know I'm hot that's why I feel hot!"

"Cocky much!"

Ishita shows her tongue to him. Raman grabs the teddy and throws it on her.

"You're childish!"

"Says the girl who just showed me a her tongue!"

They laugh together. Raman gets up while Ishita jumps on his back.

"Give me a ride!"

"Ugh! You're so heavy!"

"I hate you!" Ishita beats his back.

He laughs and gives her a back ride. They travel up the elevator which obviously didn't work. They roam about while Raman told her about the incidents that happened around here..

The night falls soon and they were back in their sleeping bags. She was in his arms, her head on his chest, the or finger intertwined.

He absentmindedly plays with her fingers while she listens to his heartbeat knowing very well the next day they would part away again and she would return to her routine of coming to the mall to get a glimpse of him.

None says a word. They later enjoy the night talking and joking.

*******

"Wake Up. Wake Up you two!" An angry voice makes them wake up.

They look at each other and smile.

"Smile later. Tell me what are you two doing here?"

Their gaze snap up to see the same old man that had asked Ishita to leave.

"You? I told you to leave right? And Raman, what are you doing here?"

"Actually.." Raman explains the whole story making the watchman nod at them and leave after asking them to clean up and leave.

They look outside to see the bright sunlight.

Their face fell and they look at each other.

"Time to leave?"

Both say together.

"What's the time?" Ishita asks.

"It's 2 in the afternoon. We slept late at night."

Ishita sighs nodding and looks at him. Their eyes locked together. Ishita's feet rooted to the ground.

"Bye!" Raman says with a sad smile and goes to the staff member room to collect his belongings leaving Ishita alone.
