Chapter Three

Jasmine's P.O.V

What the hell does he think of himself?

How can he say drag my parents into it? What the hell does he think of himself?

"For once, he takes me to his house, ok accepted because I fell asleep and I didn't tell him my address..." a hand gripped my shoulder and turned my around. It was none other than Rehaan Roy.

"What's wrong, why did you run away from the car like that?" He looked into my eyes, which were filled with tears.

"Why are you crying?" He was about to wipe the tears away, I stepped back and he stared at me with confusion.

"Stay away! Do you hear me?! Stay away from me!" I cried out as he stood there blankly watching me.

"At least tell me what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He stepped forward but I moved a step back again.

"Don't even think about it?" He was going to hold my hands but I moved away.

"Jasmine? What's wrong!" He pleaded.

"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you drag my parents in this?" I saw him sigh in relief.

"About that? It's not a big deal..." he smiled but how can he say that it wasn't a big deal?

"Not a big deal?" I raised my right eye brows.

"Yes, I didn't say anything wrong, what else could I have said? And why are you minding this so much?" I feel like slapping him.

"I'm minding this so much because my parents are dead!! They are dead!" He looked at me with shock.

"I'm an orphan...you could have said anything and everything apart from dragging my parents into this!" I wiped away my teased as I spoke angrily.

"I'm sorry...I had.."

"You had no idea about it?" I completed his sentence as he nodded.

"You could have told your granny the truth...I just don't understand why you took me with you, why didn't you say that we are not in relationship...why?" I searched his eyes for the answers to my questions.

"Listen...I really had no idea about your problem and I can understand your pain..."

"No you don't...you don't, no one does.." I cried bitterly.

"I live a life where I was told that my parent threw me away...that...that.. they never wanted a girl, they wanted a boy but to their bad luck, I was born..." he came closer to me. I could see my pain in his eyes.

"I was told by my parents that neither I exist for them nor they exist for me...I told that I was a curse on their family..." Rehaan cupped my face and wiped away my tears.

"Everyday...every night I go to sleep...praying that I find my parents and they would accept me, I know you must be thinking that I'm mad.." he shook his head in disagreement.

"But I want to know how it feels to have parents, how is life like with their love and care." He cupped my face in his big soft hands.

And before I knew what he was thinking, he started kissing me. At first he just played with my lips but then his hunger arose. From slow and steady it went to wild and passionate, his hands moved down as it traveled the curves of my body and gripped my waist and pulled me closer to him and my hands, itself wrapped around his neck. But all this while, my eyes were tightly closed.

That one moment changed my mood. When we broke our kiss, I was completely speechless and traumatized by his actions. I took a few steps back before he pulled me in a kiss again. But this time, he was slow and gentle. But this kiss lasted for a few seconds before he pulled me in his arms. For one moment I felt safe, I felt happy but then I realized that we have just met and this can't be happening so fast, no it shouldn't.

I came out if his embrace and without saying a word, I started walking away from him. I know I must have left him in a dilemma but maybe leaving from there was the best thing to do.

"Where are you going?" Rehaan grabbed my hand and turned me around to face him.

"To my apartment...leave my hand." He let go which made me wonder that how come he is being so obedient. Less I knew that I would find his granny behind me when I will try to walk away.

"To your apartment?" She folded her hands and eyed me.

"And why do you want to go there when you have your own house?" She came closer.

"My...own...house?" Really? When did I buy one 🤔.

"Rehaan's house is your house now," she pulled my ear and smiled.

"Owwee!" I cried in pain. Honestly, I did not want to go at all but it was Rehaan's  granny was went after me to come and I couldn't deny her.

At Rehaan's house:

"Jasmine...come with me to my room," I followed Rehaan's granny to her room and waited for her to speak, but she was doing something else. She took off her two bangles off and gave it to me.

"Granny..." I began but she traces me off.

"Shh...keep it, for now this the only thing I can give...thank you love, for coming into my monkey's life," she kissed my forehead and hugged. I left without saying anything. I walked aimlessly upstairs when I bumped into someone.

"Sorry..." I looked up and it was Rehaan, shirtless. I quickly turned my face around with eyes tightly closed. I could feel him smirk but what is he doin shirtless?

"I know I have a sexy body..." he smirked which made me turn back to him, still with eyes closed.

"No you don't!" I retorted back.

"And what are you doing shirtless in the house?" I heard him chuckle since I can't open my eyes.

"Not in the house, in my room...I have that much of right, dont I?" I felt his breath on my neck. He wrapped his hands around my tummy from the back and rested his chin on my right shoulder.

Rehaan's P.O.V

I couldn't resist, I couldn't see her cry like that and seriously I didn't mean that kiss but for one moment I saw peace in her cute little eyes. So the second kiss meant everything for me.

When we came home, granny took Jasmine with her to her room so I marched up to mine. Thinking about what happened I was kinda blushing but the thought of my workouts killed the romantic moment. I was changing when I saw her enter the room, she was lost in her thoughts when she bumped into me.

I wrapped my hands around her tummy from behind and rested my chin on her right shoulder. I knew she could feel my bare chest but I like seeing her make faces.

"I was changing for my workouts and you disturbed me..." i reached for the knot of her belt. She moaned as I planted a row of kisses from earlobe to her shoulder.

"Rehaan..." damn how much I love her say my name like that. I opened her belt and turned her to face me. I lifted her chin and made her open her eyes. Those chocolate brown eyes will kill me one day.

"No!!" She pushed me and turned around with tears in her eyes. That moment broke my thoughts.

"I...I'm sorry.." she stopped me by showing her palm.

"Enough! You dont even know me...I don't know you...I have to go," she was in a hurry but stopped when I called her.

"I'm sorry for my behavior and actions..."

"Oh really? Please stop, I don't trust your words..first you bring me to your house then you introduce me to your granny and then you kiss me and that too 3 times!" Her exclaimed in shock.

"You know what, my life has given given me traumas like this...please Rehaan, I'm a simple girl with simple lifestyle...don't complicate this for me," and with those words, she left. I felt am emptiness after her departure from my house.

Author's P.O.V 

For one month neither Rehaan heard anything from Jasmine nor did Jasmine hear anything from Rehaan. The distance was killing both of them from inside but seemed like Rehaan was always updated with the whereabouts of Jasmine.

Each day came with new challenges for Jasmine, she gradually changed and became permanent at her job but all she did was putting mails and making coffee for her boss. She still wonders about those moments of bliss with Rehaan.

"Stop thinking about him Jasmine!" Jasmine scolded herself and returned back to her desk to complete her days work. She has never been the same after she left Rehaan's house.

"Jasmine, Mr. Wilson wishes to see you in his office," she looked up and found Taylor smiling at her.

"Why do you always give me that look whenever Mr. Wilson calls me," Jasmine complained while picking up her files.

"I'm just wondering why does always calls you in his office that too in an hours interval?" Jasmine stopped her walks and looked at Taylor with an annoying face, while Taylor made a thinking face and smiled at her look.

"Ok ok ok, no need for that look go...he must be waiting," he winked at her and Jasmine walked off shaking her head in annoyance with Taylor. But Taylor's words did caught her attention, it was true that her boss wished to see her every hour.

"May I come in sir?" Chris looked up and smiled at her.

"Come in...Jasmine, this is Rehaan Roy," Jasmine almost fainted upon hearing that name. Her fear came true when she saw his face, it indeed was Rehaan.

"Hi.." Rehaan forwarded his hand and she took it for a shake keeping her wonders aside.

"Hi.." she replied uncomfortably and took her hands back hastily.

"So, Mr. Roy...what brings you here?" Chris looked at him as Jasmine handed him the files he was waiting for.

"Came here to invite you to my birthday party, you are also invited, " he looked towards Jasmine and she only faked a smile.

"Ok, so I'll take your leave...would you mind walking with me?" He looked at Jasmine and she only nodded.

"Sure...come," she was being professional but she had no idea of Rehaan's evil intentions.

He didn't come there to invite Chris for his birthday party, but he did went there for Jasmine. He knew that if he wants the coding of the most sensitive and secured company security system, he needed Jasmine. But less he knew that Jasmine was just a minor intern at the Wilson Tech wasn't yet promoted as a personal assistant to Chris Wilson.

"Why are you here?" Jasmine pounced her question on him as soon as the elevator door closed.

"To see you," Rehaan tried to touch Jasmine but she took a step back.

"Don't...talk without touching me," she warned him.

"Fine, I won't touch you...but at least you can forgive me for my actions."

"What actions? Sorry for what?" Jasmine said with a firm tone.

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, Jasmine," Jasmine sighed and looked at him.

"I have forgotten those days and so should you, that meant nothing, trust me," Rehaan knew that Jasmine was lying but he couldn't help to stay away from her and that too being in the same  elevator.

"Really?...so that meant nothing for you?" He walked closer to Jasmine until she bumped into the elevator wall and had nowhere to go because she was trapped between Rehaan's strong hands.

"But for me...it meant so much," he leaned in and breathed her scent like one crazy lover.

"Rehaan...stop..this is my office...," she tried pushing him away but he stood there like a mountain.

"The more you try the harder it will get for you from walking away from me, " he whispered in her ears and moved back with his hands in his pocket with a winning smile on his face.

And that was a weak moment for Jasmine, she couldn't hold herself back.  She almost ran to him and gave him a kiss with all the energy she had in her. Her grip tightened on Rehaan's hair as Rehaan kissed her back with the same passion and desire.
