Chapter-12
Virat pov I smirk and pick the call"Mr Malhotra how are u" "Virat, is Manvi with you? She didn't come home last night and I'm worried about her." I keep from snapping at the man. He doesn't need to worry about her when she leaves with me."Yes, she's with me." I answer.I think he's stunned because he keeps going to say something and stops himself. "Is there anything else, Mr Malhotra?""Just-ah, when will she be home? I wanted to take her to lunch before she starts her new job.""She won't be starting her new job.""She wont be?...I thought, uh isn't-?" He starts and I interrupt him."No, I don't want her working there."Again the man is at a loss and I find it very annoying, but I wait for him to compose himself. "I still want to take her to lunch, can you have her call me?""Yes." I reply and hang up, reaching my limit with the blathering idiot. I finish making the coffee and take my phone and the hot coffee mug into the bathroom where I see Manvi relaxing in the bubbles. She looks tiny in the huge tub, maybe she'll let me join her. I set the coffee down by her hand."Thank you." She responds, picking it up."Your welcome. Your dad called." I state, as she takes a sip and spits it out into the bath water. I look at her amused."He called you?" She questions, sitting up quickly."Yes, he was worried when you didn't come home last night.""Oh, my God. What did you say to him?" She asks, horrified."Just that I took your virginity and you'll be staying with me for the next six mo-""What?" She cries out."I'm joking. I told him that you were here and that you'd call him back. He wants to take you to lunch."She visibly relaxes and takes another sip of coffee and set's it down. "Can I use your phone?"I hand her the phone, as she hits send I get in the bathtub with her and she follows my every movement suspiciously. I smile at her and pick up her foot, massaging it. This seems to quell her nervousness. Manvi Pov "Hello?" Mr malhotra answers, the phone."Hi, Mr Malhotra its me." I say, feeling embarrassed."Manvi, are you okay? I thought you'd be home last night?" He asks, I can hear the disappointment in his voice. He knows who I was with and isn't happy about it.."I'm fine." I reply, not commenting on coming home last night."Virat told me your not starting that job at Gulliver's anymore."I look at Virat, who is watching me intently. "Yeah, Virat is co-owner and doesn't want me working there. Don't worry I'll find somewhere else." I respond, looking at Virat smugly and stick out my tongue.He shakes his head, smirking. "That man owns more then half the city. If he doesn't want you to work, you won't be." Dad warns, sounding agitated..Great I think to myself, maybe he wants me to move out now. "I have some savings, if its a matter of moving out I ca-""No, no its not that. I'm just stating the facts. Why doesn't he want you working?" He asks, curiously."He's travelling a lot over the next couple of months and wants me to go with him.""He wants you to travel with him? Why? He always travels alone, what's going on between you two?" He questions, getting more upset by the second.Shit what do I say? I have to stall. "How about we meet for lunch and we can talk about it then?""Yeah, okay. How about Henry's? I know you like the pizza.""Sounds great. What time?""Noon?""See you then, bye."."Bye."I hang up and put the phone on the edge of the bathtub. Then lean back, close my eyes and slip into the water. Maybe I should just drown myself, I think sitting up out of the water and brushing the bubbles off my face. "He knows." I groan. ;He thinks I'm a big sl*t because of you.""I can enlighten him if you wish." He replies, moodily. What the hell is he upset about?"No, thanks.""Are you going to invite me to lunch?"I look at him. "I wasn't planning on it." I reply, honestly."I'm coming.""Why?" I ask, truly confused about our arrangement."Because I want to and it will make it easier on you.""How, would it make it easier telling my father that I'm sleeping with you for the next six months.""You and I both know you won't be saying that to him. I'll be going as your boyfriend."my jaw droped
