"Why did you drag a chair, you can sit here." He signaled towards the arm of the chair where he sat.
"Mr. Shantanu Khandelwal, this is not a place or time for romance….." she said tilting her head."Ms. Khanak Sharma, I have a very simple philosophy……a die-hard romantic can romance anywhere, anytime………..others simply can't……it's not their forte…..""But we are 'not' here for romancing…" she narrowed her eyes with a typical frown hiding a little smile."Really? Aren't we?...okay, let's get to working." He said rubbing his hands and opened her laptop...

"No…………tell me the password." He said with an authority, after which it was impossible to refuse him. No one dared to say 'no' to him if he decided what he wanted and demanded with authority. Khanak was no immune to it.
"Okay……….Shantanu……..." she said giving up and went and sat in her chair."I am asking the 'password'…….." he looked at her slightly irritated.
"The password is – 'Shantanu'……..S.H.A.N.T.A.N.U…………….." she answered back in the same tone.
A chuckle left his lips when he heard this and he tried to hide it by looking at the other side for a moment and then he placed the back of his left hand on his lips and used right hand for pressing the keys for his name.
It irked her a little, "I knew that you will laugh……"
My heart is still racing as I read these lines again... This feeling that is called love, why does it make you feel this.. how can one describe this so beautifully... Yes it is like a compulsion like it is in your very blood... as one can't stop feeling this need... this urge to be near your beloved.. Sigh Shantanu, your dilemma is undoubtedly a test... and yet you always prove that you are through in flying colours... Love need not be physical.. it need not show that you have to voice it... but love definitely can be felt and experienced better if you say it out loud. I would feel no shame what so ever in expressing love.. and why should not one do so...Originally posted by: -Manita-
She bent down as she was sitting on the arm of the chair, looking carefully on the screen of her laptop, while her loose silky hair swayed in the air from the AC and brushed his cheek. He felt several fluttering butterflies all over his face, making his lips go dry and moving down to make his heart beat in tandem. He pressed his lips lightly for a moment and released them while slowly inhaling the intoxicating scent of her perfume. Her scent, her proximity and her silky hair touching his face, sent jitters across him. One end of her lace stole lay leisurely on his knee and her hand brushed against his. He closed his eyes for a moment and opened again trying to sneak a glance at her. Turning subtly to look at her from the side, he sighed a heavy breath. She felt his sigh and turned her face to look at him while sitting in the same position.
She was stunned to see him looking at her with his breath held still and their eyes held each other's. She realized that their faces were too close and she felt the same flutters rushing through her in and out and she kept looking at him without blinking. For a while, everything around them, came to a standstill……
