FIRST KISS
.
.
Khushi: That's It... I Quit... She Said And Stormed Out Of His Office...
.
.
(Khushi's Patience Had Finally Hit Its Limit...
.
He'd Passed Her Over For Yet Another ProJect... WithOut Breaking Stride...
.
.
She PuLLed Out Her Phone And Texted Her Recruiter... ""Tell Them I'll Take It...)
.
.
Khushi: Thank GOD...
.
(She Exhaled And Smiled To Herself...
.
She Was Free Of This Place And That Damn Arnav Singh Raizada...)
.
.
Khushi: Being Hot And Brilliant Didn't Give Him An Excuse To Be A Jerk...
.
.
Arnav: Khushi... Wait...
.
.
( She Heard Him Call Out... But She Ignored Him And Continued Down The Hallway Toward The Elevator...
.
.
Upon Reaching The Elevator... She Mashed The Button And Impatiently Waited...
.
Her Text Alert Sounded...
.
It Was Her Recruiter...
"" Congrats on your new job... Khushi... They Are Thrilled To Have You...""
.
.
(Khushi Smiled... Finally... A Boss That Would Appreciate Her... Nothing Had Been The Same At Her Office Since That Man Had Arrived...)
.
.
(The Elevator Dinged... The Doors Opened... And Khushi Stepped In... She Began To Text A Thank You Message To Her Recruiter When A Hand Stopped The Elevator Doors From Closing...)
.
.
Arnav: Khushi...
.
( she Heard Him Again)
.
.
Khushi: No Need To Shout... It's All Settled...
.
( She Said Back... But She Wasn't Even Angry Anymore...
.
She Was So Out Of This Place... Arnav Pushed His Way Into The Elevator...)
.
.
Arnav: Settled...??
.
.
( he Asked... His Breathing Was Heavy... She Wondered If He'd Had To Run To Follow Her...
.
The Thought Made Her Smile... Although She Didn't Want To Admit To Herself Why It Had...)
.
.
Arnav: Answer Me Dammit...
.
.
Khushi: Just Got A Text From My Recruiter... Samrat Sehgal Is "Thrilled" To Have Me..
.
( She Told Him Proudly)
.
.
Arnav: So That's It..??? You No Longer Work For This Company In Any Capacity...?
.
.
Khushi: Not in any way... Shape Or Form...
.
(She Gloated...)
.
.
Arnav: Then There's Just One More Thing...
.
( He Said As He Hit The Stop Button On The Elevator...)
.
.
Khushi: No... There isn't...
.
(Khushi Snapped... She Pushed Him Aside To Get Closer To The Elevator Buttons To Restart The Elevator...
.
But He Grabbed Her Hands... His Touch Was Firm... But Not To Aggressive...
.
She Looked Up At Him...
.
There Was SomethinG About The Way His Eyes Were Fixed On Hers That She Couldn't Turn Away...)
.
.
Arnav: There's This...
.
.
( He Said As He Released One Of Her Hands And Used It T Gntly Brush The Hair From Her Face...
.
Then... He Kissed Her...
.
.
(The Kiss Surprised Khushi.. But His Strong Yet Tender Lips Were Impossible To Resist...
.
She Felt Herself Opening Her Lips To Allow Him In... His Kiss Became More Impassioned...
,
And She Couldn't Help But Follow... She Found Herself Against The Wall Of The Elevator...
With Her Body Pressed Up Against His... She Tingled All Over...
.
The Kiss Ended... But He Didn't Let Go Of Her...)
.
.
Arnav: I've Been Aching To Do That For Months...
.
.
(Arnav Said... His Voice Was Husky And Low...)
.
.
Khushi: You've Been An Asshole For Months Raizada...
.
( Khushi Said... But Her Voice Lacked The Venom She'd Hoped For...
.
She Had Been Completely Distracted By His Kiss... And It Was Taking All Of Her Will For Her Knees Not To Shake...
.
His Arms Felt So Good Around Her... And His Lips Felt Like Fire... She Burned For More..)
.
.
Arnav: I've Been Forbidden By Company Policy To Touch You For Months...
.
I Was Up For That Job...
.
.
(She Couldn't Help But Smile... So This Was Why He Hadn't Let Her Work On Any Projects...
.
.
Khushi: So You Couldn't Handle Being Alone With Me...???
.
.
( She Teased...)
.
.
Arnav: Hmmm... I CAN NOW...
.
(Without Letting Go Of Her... He Restarted The Elevator...)
.
.
THE END
