Chapter 11
Jeevika's POV
Hours following 'The Disaster' were literally hell. A hell where my father was Satan and Mum was Lilith. We were a hairbreadth close from being caught. But thanks to my fiance's smart ass, we weren't. The way he handled the situation when all I wanted was for the ground to open up and swallow me was ah-mazing.
Viren told them that he'd come here at night because he'd forgotten his keys earlier. Then he smiled sheepishly and, voila!
Just like that, they believed him. He just got a glare from my father and a warning to not meet late in the night. That's it.
Yeah, even I was jealous. Had it been me saying those same words, they'd have incinerated me with questions and the birds and bees talks. Sigh. That man was a magician when it came to handling people. My hot magician.
See that little puddle of water right there? That's my drool.
Viren was lucky. I wasn't. After he left I was lectured about- wait, let's not go there. I don't think I'll survive rehashing those dreadful hours.
So, Viren was working, Di was enjoying her honeymoon- with Virat, my best friend lived in Goa, and the neighbors were too meh. I'd feel like an old fart if I ever hung out with them. Those girls were younger than me but behaved like they were 60 or something. Can't blame them. That's what happens when you go to tea parties with your mothers. Premature old fart-ness. That's what I called it.
In short, there was no one to hang out with me.
So I took my old puzzle book, a pencil and went to my balcony. It wasn't raining but the weather was cloudy. I plopped down on the recliner and enjoyed the slow breeze caressing my hair. Purrfect. And then I lost myself in solving the puzzle.
After sometime I noticed the my shirt had ridden up and my belly was exposed. And I may or may not have placed my pencil in my belly button as if it were a pencil stand. And I may or may not have thought that I was a genius.
Okay...I totally thought I was a genius. No judging there. We've already established that I am weird, right?
But all the genius-y feeling changed into embarrassment when a particular man- who was not supposed to see me like that and was supposed to be working messaged me.
I never knew belly buttons could be that useful.
My eyes widened and I felt blood rush to my face. My mouth dropped.
Holy crap.
Why, oh, why? Why did he have to see that? He was never going to let me live it down. I stood up hurriedly, glared in the direction of his room and turned to leav-
"That was sexy, by the way."
Kill me, now.
I turned to see him leaning on the window frame, his hands crossed and mouth twisted in an infuriating smirk. I'd very much like to knock that smirk off his face. I felt like strangling him for always being there at wrong times and always seeing me do weird stuff. I couldn't jump into his window, so I settled on shooting daggers at him with my eyes.
His smirk had now transformed into a full blown grin, showcasing his perfect teeth and those yummy dimples. Finally I growled and stomped inside my room.
"Where are you going, love? You gotta teach me that trick. Pretty useful, you know." I ignored as I heard his laughter, too embarrassed to face him. I swear to god, this man was going to be the end of me.
Sorry for the tiny update. Next one will be huge. Promise.
