Dreaming
He came into his office and she was there, as he had expected. She was always there. Early in the morning and late at night. He hadn't thought she would be at first but she had turned out to be the best PA that he ever had. She was fast, efficient and innovative. And she was strong enough to stand up against him. He was a hard task master and many before her had left his employment in tears. The only problem was that he couldn't get her out his mind. He found her so damned enticing.
She had not done anything to make him think like this. She was always the epitome of professionalism. But now she was standing there, with her back to him. She was busy putting something on his desk, her feet were bare and she was wearing a pencil skirt that framed her curvaceous figure very nicely to say the least. She had discarded her jacket and was only in a spaghetti strap t-shirt. Her hair was not in the usual tight bun and was loose and put to one side, exposing her sexy neck and back.
He started moving to her and she turned around. The top that she was wearing was tight and exposed her breast to his hungry eyes. He saw he nipples visibly harden at his gaze
"Mr Scindiya. I didn't expect you back today." her voice hoarse.
He didn't say anything. He continued to walk towards her, took her in his arms and kissed her. She responded to him, kissing him back just as passionately. His mouth covered one nipple while his hand rubbed the other.
She had her hands in his hair pushing his head down. Her head was thrown back and her eyes were closed in ecstasy. He came back up and started kissing her exposed neck. He lifted her skirt and with the same motion picked her up and p lacedher on the desk, and he moved to stand in-between her legs, their most intimate parts touching.
"Oh sir" she moaned.
"Sir, sir" he came out of his day dream.
"Sir are you ok?
"Yes", he shook he head slightly to clear it. I was just thinking about something that I must change on my schedule he said as he walked into the office.
"Please excuse my appearance. Everyone has left and I didn't expect you back today." she looked self-conscious.
"Yes, it's not professional to parade at the office half dressed. I came to collect flash disk that I need for my Dehli trip."
"You should have let me know and I would have brought it to you."
"Do you have a car?" She shook her head.
"Then how would you have brought it?" he said curtly.
She was annoyed now.
"Just because I don't have a car does not mean I cannot get about. I get to work every day and back. I don't suppose you see the busses, trains, taxis and rickshaws from behind your tinted limo windows, this is why my statement is confusing you."
"Miss. Sharma! I don't appreciate your tone."
"I don't appreciate yours Mr. Scindiya. I was merely offering to do something for you and you respond so rudely. Be assured that I won't offer again."
"Miss Sharma. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Accept my apology."
"I will. I'm off now. Good night, sir."
"It's late already. I will drop you."
"No need. I am used to travelling this time."
"I said I will get drop you, now don't be so stubborn"
Why did he have to come back now, catching her like this? And now she had to spend more time with him. She stays late mostly so that she could linger in his presence a little longer. His fragrance lingered in the office even when he wasn't there. She was hopelesslessly in love with him but he never even noticed her. To him she was just his PA. And she was scared to spend time in the car with him. It's too close. She was scared that she would give her feelings away. Anyway, she couldn't act on them. He was out of her league and she was betrothed.
When he dropped her, she said.
"Thank you sir. I wanted to ask you for a few days off when you get back from Delhi if you don't mind."
"How long?"
"Two weeks?"
"Are you going away on vacation?"
"No, I am getting married."
"What?"
"Yes, my parents arranged a marriage for me about 2 months ago. And the wedding date has been set for a 3 weeks from now."
"And you tell me this now. Without even thinking how it might affect me?"
"Affect you? We are talking about my future and you can only think about how it affects your business. Don't worry. I will take off one week and I will be back on the job. I will train Mansi to take over from me in that week and I will be available on my phone and e-mail. God forbid that your life be interrupted."
She got out of the car and slammed the door.
That was not what he meant. He wanted to run after her and tell he so but how could he now. She was getting married. And then she was going to come back to work for him. How could he have him around her, a married woman when he wanted her so badly? He didn't understand his feelings for this woman. He had never felt like this before. His life had been planned since childhood. He knew what he wanted and he went for it. He was in full control of every facet of his life. Until now, until he met her. He felt like his life was spiralling out of control.
A week later:
"Sir, I expected you back from Delhi only next week."
"I finished sooner than anticipated."
"But I had you itinerary planned out. How is it possible?"
"Yes I know you are perfect and don't make mistakes, Miss Sharma. But I was the one on the trip and I decided to do things differently if that is ok with you."
"But..." she started and then kept quiet.
"But what?"
"Nothing" she said. She was sure there was no way he could finish all he had to do but if he said then she supposed it was so.
"Can I see you in my office?"
"I'm coming"
She stepped into the office and he was waiting for her at the door. He closed the door behind and her and pushed her against it. She was shocked and she gasped, he took advantage of her open mouth and slammed his mouth on hers and his tongue plunged into her mouth. She was lost and couldn't help but respond. He moved his mouth off her to suck her earlobes and her neck. He pushed her jacket off her shoulders and unzipped the slip dress that she was wearing. He slid the shoulders off and the dress fell down easily and she was at his mercy, only in her underwear. She started unbuttoning his shirt, exposing a hard muscular chest and she started exploring it with her mouth. His hands had slipped into her panties, cupping her bottom moving their way to the front.
She heard a shrill sound. It brought her out of her day dream. It was her phone.
"Miss Sharma, I'm waiting" he said when she answered the call.
She sat down across from him still shaken and flushed as he started talking.
"Miss Sharma, are you ok?
She nodded."
"I have been thinking. You are an excellent PA but I don't want a PA that is married. I need someone who is here for me when I need them, no matter what time of night or day. I will pay you a healthy severance package and give you a good reference. You can make your last day at the end of the week."
"Are you firing me?"
"Don't look at it like that."
"How else do you suggest I look at it? You are firing me. After all I put into this job. I know it wasn't long but I did my best for you. Wasn't it good enough."
"It was great and I explained why, so please understand."
"Fine. In fact I will leave right now."
She stormed out of the office and packed her things.
"Miss Sharma, you don't have to act like this. I said I would pay you handsomely."
"Yes, thank you for that. Because everything is about money."
"What do you want from me Aarti"
It was the first time he said her first name.
"Nothing. I want nothing from you." She abandoned her packing, took her bag and left.
She didn't go home. She walked for hours. What was it that she expected? That he declare his undying love and ask her to break her engagement. That he ask her to marry him. That was crazy. But that was what she wanted. That was exactly what she couldn't have.
Again he didn't go after, although he wanted to. The moment he discovered that he couldn't have her, he knew that he wanted her. That he loved her. But she was engaged. She didn't even see him as anything but her boss. He was pining for her and she was wanted someone else. He cancelled most of his meetings to come back to see her. He knew what he had to do. He couldn't go on seeing and working with her like this. He needed her out of his life so he could go on with the way it used to be. But he felt empty knowing that she wouldn't be there anymore
She made her way back to the office when she was sure everyone had left. She sat down on her chair, silent tears rolling down her cheeks. She had to pack up her personal effects and leave but she just sat there.
He had been sitting in his office staring into space when he noticed the light went on and heard a sound coming from outside his office. He knew it would be her. He got up and walked to his door and opened it.
When she heard the door open, she wiped her tears and got up and started packing her belongings. Not acknowledging him at all.
"Do you love him?" he asked.
She didn't answer and continued packing.
"Do you love him" he asked a little more demanding.
"I hardly know him. I told you it was an arranged marriage. I am just doing it to make my parents happy."
"And will you be happy in a loveless marriage?"
"I have the ability to adjust to my circumstances easily"
"You are not answering my question. Will you be happy?"
"Probably not"
"Then call off the wedding"
"I can't"
"What if I said I loved you?"
She turned around to face him finally
"Are you saying that?"
"Yes, I don't know how it happened or when it happened but I am hopelessly in love with you."
She just stared at him. He didn't know what to make of her reaction, he only knew that he had to stop her from marrying someone else. That at least she had to give him a chance.
He walked closer to her.
"Please call off the wedding. Give me a chance to prove my love to you. I will speak to your parents and explain everything."
He stood right in front of her now and still she didn't say anything. He had never felt so insecure in his life.
"If you don't love him. Then marry me instead. At least love will be from one side. I can give you a good life Aarti. You will lack nothing. Please just consider it. I know this is sudden and you will need time but just stop the wedding."
She put out her hand and she pinched his arm.
"Ouch" he exclaimed "what was that for?"
Then she pinched herself.
"Ouch" she said rubbing her arm.
He was totally confused by her behaviour.
"Aarti, what are you doing"
She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. At first he was surprised and then he reciprocated. When they finally came apart to take a breath she said,
"If this is a dream, I never want to wake up"
"Aarti, this isn't a dream. You kissed me. Dare I hope that there is a place in your life for me?" he asked still hugging her in his arms, her head resting on his chest.
"I have been in love with you since I met you for the first time and you treated me so horribly. I tried to fight it but I only fell in love with you more. That is why I agreed to the marriage"
"You agreed to marry someone else because you loved me?"
"Yes, because I thought you were out of my league and that you didn't even notice me. I thought I would get over you if I got married"
"That doesn't sound like a clever plan to me. And didn't you notice you. Are you crazy? If you only knew all the wild things I imagined doing to you all the time. You were in my dreams constantly, even when I was awake."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. I can prove it." He kissed her and he pulled her close, cupping her buttocks and pressing it into him. She felt what he meant.
"Oh my" she said.
"Yes, now do you understand how I suffered?"
"And yet you fired me!" she hit his chest and pouted.
"Yes, I thought if create space between us I would get over you but I couldn't let you go it seems"
"What now?"
"Now you agree to call off your wedding and agree to marry me"
"That goes without saying she giggled"
"We will go to your parents and explain everything and ask for your hand in marriage?"
And your family.
"Ma and Bauji will be happy I am settling down."
"Even if I am from a middle class family?"
My family are not classist. My mother was from a middle class family and she and dad had a love marriage so they will welcome the love of my life with open arms."
"I am so happy Yash"
"Me too, love. Come let me take you home"
"In a minute, I'd first like to make up to my love for all his suffering.
She kissed him and they made their way into his office and closed the door behind them.
Soon they were half naked and panting with desire for each other, but he stopped.
"You're making all my dreams come true, honey" he moaned "but let's leave some for the wedding night."
She kissed him one last time and they made ready to approach their parents and turn their dreams into reality.
