she looked around

“are you crazy in front of everyone.

“them, they are busy in the kitchen, come on just one please” he asked, moving close to her, holding one hand.

“would you like any dokhla?” they both looked up at Ramu.

“nope we are fine, in fact can you go and get the sabzi’s with sargam. He nodded. The door closed and he turned to her.

“now we are alone” he said moving his seat closer to hers. She herself got lost in his spell. He gently held her hand and dropped the spoon in the plate, and waited for his kiss, by her expressive eyes, he could tell he would get his way, she came close to him, he could feel the warmth of her lips so close to his, she turned and pecked him on the cheek. “happy?” she smiled taking a spoonful into her mouth. He touched his cheek.

“hmm” he chuckled softly. “I meant on the lips, like this” he surpised her as he poked his tongue out and sensually sucked a grain off her bottom lip. ‘omg did he just do that  “Mmm taste way better off your lips” she was just pleasantly shocked at his actions and lost for words.. Siya whinged. She turned around ready to get up to attend to her, Kartik stopped her.

“Finish your breakfast I will see to her" he said getting out of his seat.

“Siya what’s all this noise baby, come here” he took her out of the walker. “Listen I haven’t seen my little Angel properly since I have been back” he said giving her chubby cheeks a kiss. “mwah my bacha” he hugged the cutie.

She could hear everything from the hall, could she love him anymore than she does, he is just amazing. Just then dadi came. “Siya mere bachi” he handed her to dadi, as they all came into the dinning area. Kartik’s phone rang, “hello yes, today.. ok fine” he cut the line.

“I need to go to the office for a few hours or  so..

“I thought you are on vacation sir” she said

“I did too but apparently that doesn’t apply if you are your own boss, they can’t do anything without me it seems. He sighed. 

“Anyway let me sort some things out then atleast tomorrow I don’t have go in again or for the rest of the month" Naira didn’t want him to leave but she couldn’t voice that thought. “I’ll just go get changed quickly” he said and raced up the stairs. Just then the door bell rang. “Dadi its Sujataji, and Payalji,” the two ladies greeted dadi and one of them held Siya, Kartik came back downstairs, he greeted them all.

“Naira come with me I’ll drop you off to see your papa and then once I’m done at the office I will come collect you and drop you home?”  

“papa today seriously,that would be great” her face lit up when her papa was mentioned.

“great let’s go, dadi is that ok you will ok with Siya?” she nodded “of course beta, I wish a speedy recover to Saurabhji” Naira nodded “thanks dadi”

“come” he called. Naira and Kartik left together. “Sir will Kaushaliya be ok with me coming to see papa?”

“It’s not up to her anymore she doesn’t call the shots, and I heard she is away at the moment so it will be just you with your papa.” She smiled she was thrilled to hear that.

“thank you so much for this” he smiled. they parked up. “so I will see you later then?” she asked he nodded. “take care” he said. “you too” he came close and kissed her lips. “See you later” she opened the car door shyly. 
Kartik couldn’t stop smiling as he drove to his office. She spent time at her father’s bedside talking to him as she usually would, it felt great to be there without any annoyonce from her step mum, she felt happy to freely speak with him. Kartik came by 10pm to pick her up from the hospital, she was waiting for him in the parking area she saw his car and made her way to it. They reached to her apartment he parked up.

“I’m very happy to hear that your father is making progress” she smiled. “I know I couldn’t believe it when they told me”

“It’s good to see you smiling, always smile like this only” he said caressing her left cheek. She looked down for a second and then up.

“do you want to come inside for a hot drink?” he nodded. “yes I would like that very much” she smiled. They both got out of the car, once they were out they held on to each others hand as they walked and climbed the stairs together. She pulled her key out of her purse and turned it in the door.

“come in, sorry about the mess" she took her shoes off.

" this place is so much better" he said removing his.

“i know na? make yourself at home, I will just be in the kitchen for a minute” he nodded, and took a seat on the couch. She pulled out 2 cups and placed them on the counter. A few seconds later she heard footsteps, and he hugged her from the back.

“I don’t want coffee you will be just fine” he said placing a kiss on the side of her neck, as he did, she sighed leaning her back against his chest, her hand found its way to his jaw line she traced it with her index finger, slowly he turned her in  his arms, once their eyes met,his eager mouth found hers, as he suckled her lower lip she did the same to his  upper lip, her hands got lost in his hair as they kissed with passion his hands roamed all over her waist boy could this guys kiss!! But the fact remains the kiss was  getting rather heated made her nervous,“Ahem” she said "come I’ll show you the rest of the flat, she pulled him by his hand and started showing him around,.

“this is the seating area, that's the  bathroom, and um this is my bedroom.

“Bedroom so this is where you dream about me” he chuckled wrapping his arms around her waist. She nodded shyly, "and the bed is it comfortable?” he asked.  She nodded, suddenly feeling hot all over.

“so you want to watch a movie or something" he asked changing the subject and freeing her from his arms as he could sense she was feeling tense. “ok” she agreed, they walked to the couch he quickly checked the time.

“actually let me see what time it is.. oh its that late, I better get going”

“Already, I mean we didn’t even have coffee yet,  I can go make some real quick” she said feeling sad that he was ready to leave already. She wasn’t sure what to do, and he could sense her holding back but he didn’t understand why she was doing so.

“Tomorrow I’ll come”

“ok if that’s what you want, but I would really like it if you would stay, not the night of course but maybe half an hour we can just chill on the couch” she said pulling his hands playfully. “ok you got me I’ll stay for a bit” she smiled

“great” she sat down on the coach next to him and switched the tv on.. nothing great was on, she flicked through the channels and he watched her as she did, he didn’t care for what was on the tv. “Is this good?” she asked. “Hmm” he replied not even glancing at the tv. She turned around and saw his eyes on her, “this is perfect” he whispered, coiling her hair and pulling her closer to him, her eyes followed his movement, and she leaned down to allow him to express his feelings, she closed her eyes feeling his warm, soft lips against hers, this time she let go a little, allowing her mouth to explore his. He relished the feeling of her fingers grasping his hair and his nape, she didn’t know when she had climbed into his lap, with both her legs stretched out to the corner of the couch, her hands roaming around his neck and back, she was passionately lost in  his kiss. He lowered her on the couch, kissing her neck and cheek. Then he stopped with the touching of his forehead to hers, and smiled. “It’s getting late I should go” she sat up, “uh hmm” agreeing and blushing,straightening her salvar and hair.  He got up from the couch they walked to the front door.

“Good night baby” he said turning and pulled her close “Good night sir I’ll see you tomorrow” she said resting her palms on his shoulders. She caressed his cheek with her left hand, and this time she leaned in and kissed him more openly, he felt her tongue trace his bottom lip before she took it into her mouth, he was pleasantly surprised by it, he slowly dropped her chin  down, and let their tongues meet.

‘am I being too bold letting him take 5his kiss deeper’ her thoughts clouded her making her break the kiss slowly, “Mmm I like kissing you” he said tugging her chin,  she smiled shyly hearing that now she felt this time it was different to their first kiss which had been the worst week of her life, but this felt perfect here she was in loving his arms, his hand around her waist, her hands were resting on his lower arms “same here” she replied pressing her lips together, meeting his gaze.

“and tomorrow” he pulled her close to him by her waist, pressing her against his frame. 

“ again I want you to come see me first, and we are going to spend most of the day together, got it” he smiled. She nodded. “I look forward to it” he pulled her into a sweet embrace, she leaned her chin on his shoulder.

‘wow he just feels like home and smells so good’  he kissed her cheek and then released her. She walked him to the door.  “bye” she waved, once she closed the door, she exhaled. ‘I can’t believe me and sir would ever happen, I dreamt this but it’s actually happening’

she squealed happily. Her mind just gathered thoughts to how far she had come, as she went to sleep, she thought of her first meeting with Kartik. 

Hi Naira?..  I’m Kartik. pleasure to meet you.. he out stretched his hand to hers. Kartik looked at her, why wasn’t she shaking his hand, she looked at him in wonder instead she greeted him with a “namaste”she giggled at the memory, fiddling with the pillow in her hand. “and tomorrow I will spend most of the day with him he said, I wonder what he wants to do” she smiled coyly to herself.  

Naira got to Kartik’s place early, she crept to his room remembering her promise, but he wasn’t there, she checked all the rooms upstairs, but no one was there. She looked downstairs in the kitchen and all places she could think off.

"Hmm there is only one place he can be, workaholic, in his office”  she said peering through his window there he was on the phone. Does she dare?, she does she opened his office door and made her presence known.

“Yes Mr Menon” he saw her enter the door and his first instincts were to wave her forward. She smiled at his response and shut the door behind her.

“of course sir, we will.. she came close to him, and adjusted his chair backwards so she had some space. “don’t worry” he said into the phone, with her playful mood she sat on his lap,sitting on his left thigh, her hands gripped the table in front of her,

“I assure you sir” Naira felt his hand immediately stretch around her belly, holding her in place, Her smile widened feeling his actions. “yes, we will be in touch”  he replied. “hmm” he caressed the side of her belly through her salvar. “when will that be again?” he asked. He started feeling restless the conversation was pro-longing with Kartik repeating ‘I see’ and ‘hmm’ she looked down and began to play with his fingers, pulling and caressing them with her left hand. Even whilst he was talking she felt his fingers making slow movments and entangling with hers.

“Done, sir ok we will be in touch.. yeah bye” he cut the line and turned his head to her.

“well what a lovely morning vision I have in my arms” he said looking at her lovely face.

“Good morning sir” she said leaning down and cupped his face whilst their lips met. “It certainly is” he said tying to turn her in his lap.

“ok I have  fulfilled my promise” she said hoping off.  “hmm?” he asked she turned around to him.

“yah I saw you first thing, and now I will go see Siya”  he shook his head, and she turned around

“see you later my darling” she gave him a fly kiss. She closed the office door, and all he could hear was the word ‘darling’ how sweet it sounded on her lips. “She called me her darling” he chuckled “how damn cute was that?”

Naira got busy with Siya as Kartik did in his office, it was coming to a late noon, and she took her upstairs to lay her down. “my good girl” she said as she lifted her off her shoulder and placed her down head first in her crib. She heard approaching steps, “I thought I heard voices” she turned around “shh, I just got her down sir”

“oh sorry” he put his index finger to his lip, she smiled at him and patted his shoulder  as she walked and almost passed him. “and where are you going?” she turned to him.

“back downstairs..” he shook his head. “no, I have hardly seen you today”

“I know, and I’m sorry but dadi wants me to sit with her for a little while so..”

“oh ok, then you should, and I know this I am a very patient guy and I love my dadi very much so you are free to go” he said with a smile. She loved that about him, he indeed was very patient. “thanks” she said turning only to be turned back.

“hmm but not that patient either” and he caught her by surprise, by pulling her into a spontaneous open mouth kiss, once she felt his arms around her, his lips on hers, her hands too flew up holding him close on his upper back, standing on the front of the stairs kissing each other.

'She feels so good, kissing her is heavenly'

'He makes me feel like I am floating on air I can kiss him forever,ok he wants to tongue kiss, I am trying but I have never done that with anyone yesterday when he did that with me I just went along with it, but I can't tell him that, he didn't say anything so I guess I am doing it right it does feel really nice ok here we go...

She relaxed as he slipped his tongue in to play with hers,, their tongues were acquainted now. Getting short of breath he quickly  kissed her thrice and ended with one on her cheek. She couldn’t meet his gaze, she was feeling shy, then she looked up at him, his kiss made her all giddy and he knew it

“careful on them stairs now madam” he said leaving to his room, leaving her flustered and red all over. A few seconds later, she took to the stairs, her mind kept replaying to the couple of seconds she just had with him. She held the banister rail and walked down the stairs all bashful.

“beta” said dadi.. she cleared her throat “ji-ji dadi”. She walked over to her and took a seat next to her. “Its Siya’s birthday next month I would like you to be in charge of it. “Me?” she asked in surprise and a slight nervous tone.

“hmm beta why so surprise, you are fond of Siya and  I have full faith that you will do a great job, isn’t it Kittu?” she turned around.

‘Kartik came downstairs when?’ her mind question when she saw him come to the hall munching on an apple. “Hmm excellent idea dadi” he stood in front of them.

“then that is settled usually Preeti does party stuff  but she isn’t here which I am glad about.” said dadi

“Aren’t we all” he murmered, taking another bite. “so that’s final I will make a list of  numbers for you to call and where to have it you decide and let me know the expenses.

“oh ok” she replied. Dadi got up and left to her room. Naira was lost in thoughts. “Sir I don’t know how to organise a birthday party tell dadi not to ask me I..”

“Hey” he said sitting down next to her and taking her hands in his lap.“I won’t tell dadi that, because Naira I have faith in you, and any questions you have you can always ask me I will help you, you don’t have to worry about a thing hmm, I’m with you” he said putting his right arm around her. “thanks sir” she said leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Listen sweetheart” she lifted her head up to face him. “hmm?”  

“It’s Saturday tomorrow do you have any plans I was thinking to take you on a romantic dinner what say?”

‘he is always doing things for you isn’t it time you do something in return?’ her mind reflected.       

“sir you have done so much for me” she held his hand in hers, “please I want to do something for you” he listenend to her. “ok” she looked down for a second then up at him,

“yah I want to cook your favourite dish for you, so come over to my place and I will feed your favourite, please don’t mind. He did want to take her out for dinner, but he didn’t want to constantly flash his cash,and dinner by her hands sounded appealing. “sure I would love that” she smiled at his response. “ok great” she smiled fully,

‘she has such a beautiful smile’ he thought as she spoke. “so what is your favourite dish then?”

“Listen beautiful you make what ever you want I will eat it” his phone rang. “excuse me one sec”

“but sir.. she called ‘this is not done I need to know his favourite dish only then I will feel happy to cook for him, but he won’t tell me I have to get it out of him somehow.

  “Hmm no, its too short and reveaing” said Naira.
“what’s wrong, its perfect, he will love it and its easy to open” she turned to her.

“There will be no opening of anything! I’m not letting anyone near me!” now she felt all nervous after that comment.

“maybe I should just cancel, what if sir is that modern type of guy, on first date he wants to...”
