Crossing Paths
Stepping through the cast iron gates for a moment her breath stopped. The site her eyes were beholding was truly magnificent. Spread out on acres of land Agnihotri Management Institute was a beautiful site. The architecture of the buildings reminded one of glorious historical times of India. The Agnihotri's were truly one of a kind.Just as the name crossed her mind her clear brown eyes clouded over with myriad of emotions. She couldn't say what she felt more - fear , worry or dislike, which one of these she felt more towards him, she wasn't sure. More than anything she was worried about crossing paths with him. In the past whenever that occurred , mayhem had followed. On a personal level she didn't like the on edge feeling he created in her. If it wasn't for the scholarship she wouldn't be here.
"Relax Astha" she mumbled to herself " He has numerous other places to be and you are not afraid of him"
Feeling not so reassured she headed towards the main block to get the necessary instructions and her schedule.
" Wow man! What a piece " the explicitly lewd tone of the comment caught his attention. Stormy black eyes squared on four young men sitting on a low corridor parapet gazing at the grounds, having a gala of time checking out the opposite sex. His eyes moved from them to their object of interest and his lips formed a flat line.
She is definitely a piece of work he scoffed mentally One I am going to enjoy unsettling his lips curved into a smirk.
Emotions sped through his inky black eyes. Emotions that he despised yet gave him the sensation of being alive. Emotions only a few people could arouse in him, one of them being the girl
he was now watching.Her physical beauty held no interest for him even though she was a vision to behold in the baby pink suit with raven black hair cascading down her back. His sole interest was in teaching her a lesson and for that he had admitted the minx into his institute. Miss Kirloskar was going to curse the day she crossed him soon.
One of the young men turned back and caught his eye. The student's eye widened in horror and he alerted his friends. He gazed hard at them as they scurried away. Looking away he saw her entering the post graduate block. She was busy with some papers in her hand and hadn't noticed him . Unknowingly she was walking right towards him.
" Welcome Miss. Kirloskar" he said smiling sardonically.
Her confusion with one of her main subjects evaporated the instant she heard the husky voice. She whipped up her head and locked eyes with the devil himself. Despite herself she gulped. Here goes her wish of not meeting Shlok Agnihotri.
" Hello Mr. Shlok " she replied gathering her scattered senses.
" Need any help? " he asked in an infuriating tone, the same infuriating tone he used with women. As if they all needed his help.
" No" she replied defiantly and then smiled for additional effect "I think I can find my way"
" Of course you can" he mocked "How are you finding Agnihotri Institute? "
" Pleasant I like the ambience" Astha's smile was intact as if she wanted to intimidate him with it.
Shlok felt disgruntled. The girl was like no other woman he met. For a chit of a female she was feisty. She did not bow down easily and this irritated him. Doesn't she know she is a woman? He would teach her to fear men. He moved a step closer to her and noticed her stiffening albeit without moving. So she could be affected he smirked mentally at the thought. Bending his head towards her , he bought his face inches away from hers before whispering
" I hope you enjoy your time here then. Just to remind you , you are once again in my territory but this time because I want you to be"
Astha couldn't help the shiver that engulfed her spine.As if his unrelenting gaze wasn't unsettling enough his voice did something else to her. He was threatening her and she was frightened. But with that fear was something else, something she couldn't name.
