MG-FF What does she want? Thread 2 Chapter54 pg134 - Page 38

Chapter 46

Maan continued to try to engage Geet in conversation over dinner but she refused to make eye contact or make any sound other than mmm. Geet quickly ate her food concentrating on her plate rather than thinking about the man sitting opposite her. She only looked up to see whether Maan was finished and when he was, she quickly got up and collected the empty plates from the table. As she passed by Maan she felt his hand grab her arm to stop her. He was worried by her silence and her detachment. She stood still beside him, calming her breathing, not looking at him.

"Geet, are you okay?" he asked for the 3^rd or 4^th time today, with concern. "I mean you look distracted and you are not being your normal talkative self. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Geet looked down at Maan in silence who was staring at her anxiously. "How can he be so oblivious? Does he not know what he is doing to me?" As she looked at him, she saw the cuts on his face and hands which were now obvious as she was seeing him up close. "Oh Babaji, how could I have forgotten he was hurt during the fight!" she scolded herself.

She placed the empty dishes back on the table and put her hand over Maan's and composed herself. "Maan, I am fine. But you are not" He looked at her confused. "You have cuts on your face and hands" Geet continued. "Come with me" she said pulling him up from his seat. She dragged him into her bedroom and made him sit on the bed. "Wait there, don't move. I will be back in a few minutes" she instructed him, as she turned to leave for the washroom.

Once inside, she closed the door of the washroom. Geet quickly turned on the tap and splashed her face with cold water. Being this close to Maan was confusing her, playing with her emotions. She was attracted to him. She desired him. She stood in front of the mirror steadying herself by holding onto the sides of the sink.

"Everytime I look at him...feel him around me, I want to be near him...I want to be close to him. Why?... Why not? He is an attractive man and I am a woman. Such attractions are normal between a man and a woman...and I have already experienced that physical relationship with Maan." Her breathing became shallow and her heartbeat raced thinking of their suhaag raat. "But that was then...when I felt that I was his wife...but now?... I have no right on him, Babaji...I left him... I gave back his mangalsutra, and by doing so made it clear to him that he was free... free from our forced relationship...I didn't want to give back the mangalsutra Babaji...you know how difficult it was to remove it...but Maan wouldn't have believed my words on a piece of paper saying he was free...I also instructed him not to find me... But he did Babaji... How did he find me?... Why did he find me?... I suppose he wants an explanation... maybe my letter not clear enough?... I just wanted to free him, so he could live his life as he planned it... with someone who would match his status..." this last thought caused her unexpected pain.

Shaking that thought out of her head, she continued her internal monologue "He seemed happy to see me in Khurana Constructions...but what was he doing there?...And then he kissed me" she blushed at the memory of his lips on hers and their make-out session in her MD's office. She would never be able to step foot in that office again, without thinking about Maan. "Then he saved me... again...he called me Mrs Khurana... Why? To tease me, or does he still see me as his wife?...But why would he? Shouldn't he hate me? Hate me for leaving him like that?" She was so confused her head hurt. Her hands moved from the sink to her temples to massage them. She had never been in love... never seen couples in love, other than Pinky and Adi bhai, but they didn't discuss their relationship with her, so she didn't know what it felt like to be in love. "Oh Babaji, why did Maan find me? And why am I so confused?"

Meanwhile, Maan was also lost in thought. He was worried why Geet was acting like this. Was it just because of this evening's events or was something else bothering her? He had noticed her becoming deep in thought over dinner, sometimes becoming pale and blushing at other times. "Was she upset seeing me again? Did she really mean what she wrote in the letter? The letter she wrote in reaction to what she had heard from that spiteful Ms Roy. Did she not want to see me again? No, I can't believe that. Especially after experiencing how she responded to my kisses in the office. So what's going on? We need to talk...I need to get her to talk to me...open up to me, and tell me how she is feeling, and what she feels for me" Maan was thoroughly confused. He looked at his watch...she has been in there a long time. I hope she is okay.

She jumped as she heard a knock on the door and then "Geet are you okay?" Geet quickly grabbed the 1st aid box and antiseptic and opened the door bumping into Maan ''You know what? You need to change the record Maan. Your phrase "Geet are you okay" is getting a bit boring Maan. And did I not instruct you not to move?" Geet said pushing him back towards the bed.

"Well, I got worried',' Maan said defensively as he fell onto the bed "you were in there for half an hour"

That piece of information surprised Geet. "Half an hour? Really"she thought. Then quickly said "Well, I had things to do" giving him a look that told him not to ask any further questions. He decided to leave any discussions until she finished patching him up. "At least she is talking and reacting now" he thought. "That's a good sign. And she wants to take care of me, well at least my injuries...which I could get used to" he smiled.

"Okay, now let's fix you up" she said opening the 1^st aid box standing in front of him. She first attended to the cuts on his hands and then moved to his face. Although she was standing in front of him, she had to lean over him him to access the cut on his forehead. She decided she needed to get closer, so moved between his legs so that her body was now plastered against his. As she concentrated on the cut, she was unaware of what her proximity was doing to Maan. He became acutely aware of her movements, her scent, and her body. Her long neck was so near his lips he was dying to kiss it and taste her skin again. He leaned in and inhaled. He decided to give into his desire as he felt Geet pull away from him.

"All done", she said smiling at her handiwork. She then made the mistake of looking into Maan's eyes, which were dilated and full of desire. She gulped and turned away from him. He grabbed her hand pulling her towards him. As he did, she hit his chest and her hands automatically went to his shoulders. He winced as her hand hit his right shoulder "Maan, your shoulder. Let me see" she demanded. She pushed him away gently and started unbuttoning his shirt, pulling it off his body, followed by his vest. Maan closed his eyes and groaned. He was finding it very difficult to control the arousal that was building in him.
