In the depths of your eyes
Let me seek my reflection
Let me into your darkest fears
I promise to give you everything I can
I promise to be there for you

He'd been feeling uncharacteristically hungry the whole day and for the last few minutes or so , he'd been extremely overcome with tiredness too . Plainly put , he wasn't used to so much physical exertion . He leaned against the chair and closed his eyes and just a minute later fell into a deep slumber. Nikki took turns to watch them both sleeping , thoroughly amused at how childlike they seemed when asleep . The Modi men were surely blessed with good looks and equally good personalities and then that tenderness and sensitivity , that was never overwhelming . She sighed softly . Why could Armaan and her friends not see Abhi for the way he was ? Why did they always and so annoyingly dwell on the unpleasant aspects of his personality ? She looked at her watch , thinking that in a little while Armaan would probably be there . Well , this was a start . Armaan was trying to accept her love for Abhi and trying to set aside his prejudices . If only Abhi wasn't so rigid with his dislike for her friends ' Well , she couldn't blame him for that . They had caused him so much discomfort all the while and he was just being human in his dislike for them .
She leaned against the bed's head rest and closed her eyes, only to open them with a start as she heard Abhi shifting uncomfortably , his face tensed into an expression of severe unpleasantness and his lips pursed in a manner as if he was saying "No" . Maybe he was having a bad dream or a vision of the accident , Nikki thought to herself and caught his palm and soothed it gently . She placed her other palm on his forehead and bent over him ."Sssh Abhi , its OK . Everything is fine . I am right here ." , she said tenderly.
Aww so sweet
She could see him absorb her words , could see his body relax with the coolness of her touch and the assurance of her soft voice . She continued to caress his face gently and calm him down tenderly and stopped only when she saw him relax completely and be drawn into that peaceful sleep again . She bent down and placed a very feathery kiss on his forehead her heart brimming with love.
"Waah Nikki !" , Armaan said cheekily and Nikki couldn't stop herself from blushing. She gently let her fingers free and walked up to them and gave them a hug one by one .
"Exactly Armaan . Its half past four . And we also need to let Dr Modi rest , don't we Nikki ?" , here she looked at Nikki , blinking her eyes sweetly .
Nikki caught the twinkle in those eyes and inadvertently blushed .
"Come on Armaan , lets go . It was nice meeting you Dr Modi . Please take care ." , she said and stood up .
"Dr Modi , wish you a speedy recovery .Sanjeevani needs you ." Armaan said subtly and shook hands with Abhi , indirectly telling him that he had finally accepted him as the rightful boss of Sanjeevani) as Nikki looked at them all , a smile on her lips .
I Like it 
He bent his head and saw himself looking back right into her big , black eyes .
Why was he out of the bed ? For a few seconds , he wasn't even able to recollect the reason . Her disheveled beauty and unforced concern, had trapped him again . He gently touched her cheek and saw her eyes close for a split second . It was easy to see how his touch affected her . He remembered the day they were locked up in the lab and how he had felt this immense attraction for her , a pull that defied all logic and reasoning . He could feel the pull again , but this time , it wasn't random or unreasonable . Very slowly he brought his face close to her and watched how Nikki's eyes closed on their own . Her innocence and surrender was so endearing . He kissed her softly and felt her fingers shiver against his arm . How could she do this every time ? Break him up so easily !
