Flashback in blue
~20~
The clock struck 5 as she entered his cabin. His assistant had informed her that he was in the conference room and she had decided to wait for him in the cabin. Lazily dropping her hand bag on the couch, she walked around the room setting things straight, dusting invisible specks of dust when her eyes fell on the lunch bag sitting on the table. Her instinct told her that he hadn't opened it. Her fears were confirmed as she opened the dabba to see the food untouched. Knowing him, she realized that he wouldn't have eaten anything since breakfast. Determined to give him an earful, she quickly took the dabba and marched to the conference room.
Just as she had expected, he was sitting there alone his head buried in a pile of files. The crease on his forehead told her that whatever he was doing was important. She started walking towards him when a voice in her head made her stop.
"Don't you dare interfere in my business. You cook, pack this dabba and send it. That is all you are supposed to do. Don't even dream of questioning what I do with it."
Mr. Shah had told her that the first time she had asked him why he hadn't eaten his lunch. Biting her lips nervously, she tried to clear her mind when she heard his voice.
"Anu....?"
"Uh..."
He dropped his work and quickly moved to her side. Seeing the lunch bag in her hand, he bit his tongue. He had forgotten again.
"Sorry... sorry... too much work... I completely forgot..."
She looked at him and he saw her eyes brimming with unshed tears. He raised an eyebrow and she nodded in negative. He sighed a little and took her arms in his guiding her back to his cabin. Once inside, he shut the door and turned to her.
"You didn't eat... it's past 5..."
"Sorry...."
She pursed her lips unsure of how to respond. She turned away from him.
"It's ok. Please eat."
He grabbed her elbow and turned her around. She collided on his chest with a thud. He put his arms around her waist and held her close. She felt her hands automatically move up and wrap around his neck. His gentle eyes caught hers and the depth of love that it held washed all her doubts away.
"It's not okay..."
She nodded and placed a tiny kiss in his jaw.
"It's not... promise me you will always eat on time..."
"I promise... if I ever forget then..."
"I will scold you..."
He smiled and rested his forehead on hers.
"I am hungry... will you feed me?"
She moved away from him and quickly opened the dabba and tore a piece of roti and dipped in sabji. Before she could turn and place it in his mouth, he snaked his hands around her waist from behind and trailed his lips on her neck. Tracing patterns with his fingers on her navel, he gently bit her earlobe and whispered
"Not the roti, my Lady... I am hungry for you..."
As his lips continued assaulting her, his hands found its way under her skirt. She slapped his hand away and quickly turned around stuffing the roti into his mouth
"Don't you dare play sweet on me after forgetting lunch... Here... eat..."
He gave a disappointed sigh. She smiled at his antics and continued to feed him. Once the dabba was complete, she moved close to his ears and whispered suggestively
"If you are still hungry.... I can feed you dessert...."
He caught her fingers and licked the traces of sabji.
"Oh...I am starving..."
With that he swiftly claimed her lips with his.

Oru kutti story (A small story):
I had written the first 5 parts of this series before I posted this here in the forum. I was very apprehensive. The last time I wrote fictions regularly was for Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar that ran in Sony 6 years ago. Then life happened. I did write few shots in between but was never consistent. After contemplating for two to three days I finally decided that I would post the parts I had written and disappear😆. Then you guys showered this series with so much love that I just had to keep writing. Each and every comment of yours was so encouraging that I started to open up. It reflects so well in my writing too. You can see how the latter parts are much less reserved than the beginning ones. And now we have reached the 20th part... I am so so overwhelmed... You guys are awesome. Inspite of your busy personal lives, you took the time to come and appreciate someone like me. Thank you, thank you and thank you.. thank you for giving me space to share my fictions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you.
