A small playful smile came to her lips and Mihir did not fail to notice Raman's fixed gaze at her lips. Neither did she. Nor did Mihir fail to notice the blush that adorned her cheeks. "Why? Is Mr Arora going out on a date?"

This was my fav part...I instantly smiled when I read these lines...it was as if Raman was staring at MY lips 😛...Good going Arshi...and good to see you've brought a diff angle to this...I love how you've already established a comfort level between Mihir and Ishita..

I also relate to taht bit where she thinks, the one she works most in tandem with, is just a colleague.. FAB LINE. Ive thought like that soo many times..its so so relatable...Give us more girl! Power to you!👍🏼

Part 4

She felt like an ice cream melting under the warm sun, his arms were strong and she could feel his stubble rubbing against the side of her neck and face, leaving slight beard burns. She loved it, but wasn't ready to turn around and face what was coming next.

Raman turned her around in his arms and looked at her closed eyes and parted lips, his long tapering fingers slowly caressing her smooth, fair cheek, his other hand in her hair and he leaned in to smell the fruity smell of her shampoo. It was something mixed with a citrus smell and it aroused him. He knew she did not want to face him but he had to ask her, it was important for him to know where they were going after this. "Why did you not come to meet me after your meeting?" he asked her softly, his fingers continued their assault on her cheeks and neck. "I was busy." She replied, her eyes still closed, she could feel him leaning further into her and she allowed him to hold her closer, loving his touch. "The whole day?" he whispered in her ear, encouraged now that she let him hold her closer. She sighed and opened her eyes. She looked confused and aroused; the latter part lent Raman some hope of their being together. He wanted her, for himself, forever, but did not want to tell her exactly how he felt lest she got scared and ran away.

"Raman, I know you want to know what we are supposed to do with this...situation", she completed, her gentle hand cupping his left cheek, feeling his stubble under her fingers and she wondered at the complexity of the tough stubble and soft cheek, the desire she saw in his eyes made her forget what she wanted to say. Getting hold of herself she pushed him a little away for some distance, she needed to think clearly but he did not let go of her hand, his thumb making circles on her hand. "I broke up yesterday from a 5 year relationship. I don't even know what I want from you or us right now, I can't even begin to think where I want to take this, not right now." And she finally looked up at him and found him staring at her seriously.

"I am not asking you to marry me right now Ishita. I just want to know whether you want...this?" he asked as his thumb traced her lips slowly, asking permission. "We can take this slowly, very slowly if you want. I want to be honest with you, I have always been crazily attracted to you, and you know that, I want to be with you, to know you better." He finished, hoping for her to say something. She smiled and then sighed and looked at her feet and then up at him, "I...you...this sounds safe enough I guess. I just know that I don't want to stop kissing you." She said shyly, heat creeping up her neck making her go red in the face.

Raman grinned suddenly, easing away the tension from his face making him look absolutely stunning. God help me. Those dimples are to die for' she thought and reached out to touch his dimples, her index finger tracing his right dimple. He suddenly caught her hand and held it to his face, "Halleluiah. I don't want to stop either" he said and pulled her close to him and kissed her. Their soft kiss turning into a frantic passionate one, he pushed her against her car, trying to feel all of her and letting her feel all of him as she grabbed a handful of his hair, turning him on madly.

The only reason they let go each other was cause they needed oxygen. "what a frivolous act breathing is"Raman muttered, making ishita laugh.

Breathing through their mouths, both of them looked at each other, wondering how the hell things got so heated up in just a kiss. Second kiss and they felt like shredding each other clothes and getting as close to the other as possible. His hands crept up, feeling her waist and then her lower ribs, his hands travelling further north, just beneath her swells, his thumb feeling the underside of her breast making her shudder in his arms. She suddenly enveloped him in a tight hug...surprising him.

"This is crazy Raman. I never knew it would be this..." she trailed off, she actually sounded scared. He chuckled and completed for her, "Explosive you mean? No wonder we never came close to each other, we would have blown up our office." He laughed. His laugh made her feel all gooey inside. Like a choco lava cake's inside. Murugan! Help!' she thought frantically, what have I gotten myself into' her silence making Raman feel conscious. She was not like other girls, she was different and so much more precious. "Do you regret it?" he asked her suddenly, his eyes suddenly turning somber. "NO! God no!" she replied instantly, making him sigh in relief, his taut shoulders finally relaxing.

"Beta come in" her mother ushered her inside, looking at her daughter's happy flushed face, making her mother a little curious but she brushed it aside as she introduced Ishita to the family seated in her house's drawing room."Beta, meet Mr. Khurana and his family." She did Namaste but her Dad asked her to touch their feet as he further introduced them as their family'.

Ishita did as told, smiled politely and told her mom she needed to change and turned to walk into the room when she saw 50 varieties of cuisines lining their dining table. She looked at her mom shocked and asked her, "Mom? SO much food? And south indian food too?" she asked? Her mother was a Punjabi and her dad a south Indian, her mom cooked everything but she obviously preferred cooking Punjabi food. "Ma, they have not come here for my rishta" she joked, thinking Mr Khurana must be some important associate of her Dad's and started walking towards her room to change when she saw her mother look guiltily at her. "Beta, they have come here to ask us for your hand in marriage", her mother informed her.

Ishita looked on, shocked.
