“I’ll hold you in my heart, till I can hold you in my arms”
Next day,
Annie was getting ready for her college, she was back to her bubbly self, she had completed her design, she was looking happy, she was applying her lip-gloss, and suddenly she remembers something, which shook her to the core.
She got a flash of shivay taking care of her, the way he consoled her, what shocked her was the kiss, she remembers the kiss(wow, it took her day to remember, she was too engrossed with her family, she forgot the incident, but now when she was applying her lip gloss she felt she was missing something)
Her first kiss, he stole her first kiss her Hulk professor, now she was hell nervous to face him, she looked like a scared kitten, she wanted to hide but she couldn’t she need to face him.
She needs to submit her design, she gulped hard, the only thought came to her to ignore him, she can’t face him, now her cheeks were red due to embarrassment, she thought he kissed her to calm down, she didn’t want to think about it, but her mind revolved around the kiss, the way he kissed her, she felt safe.
She slapped her head for thinking the same again and again, she was on a mission to ignore Mr. Hulk or else she would die blushing, his eyes had those effect on her.
On the other side shivay wanted to see his Angel, all he could think was her soft lips, he felt blissed, he wanted to taste them again and again, wanted to feel her, cherish the moment,
Though the circumstance was not in his favor, he couldn’t ignore the fact he kissed her, she was in shock she didn’t reciprocate, he was happy, he was feeling on top of the world.
*************
In college,
Annie was too nervous to face him, so she already place her all designs in his cabin, (he has his own cabin, just like his office one, filled with all design, showpiece, practice model, everything)
She wanted to escape, she took her bag and stood up to leave his class, there was still 10 min for him to enter class, but to her bad luck, he entered class early, when his eyes met her, she looked down, he knew something was bothering her.
Throughout the class he kept on stealing glances at her, but she never once looked up, she kept on looking down, the class ended, she was in a hurry before she could move out came his deep voice,
“Miss D’souza to my cabin now, your designs needed recheck” with that he left to his cabin, he badly wanted to know what’s is bothering her
Here Annie was shivering, she wanted mother earth to swallow her, with trembling hand, she went to meet him, she knew not to mess up, and his voice held authority.
As soon as shivay saw her, he went close to her; he saw her still looking at the floor, like always he asked her in a calm voice which he only uses on her
S – Dove what is wrong, is there something bothering you
She was still looking down as if it’s the most beautiful thing right now, he held her chin, she shivered and stepped back, he knew she was ignoring him but why, her action hurt him.
S – this time he raised his voice, but still maintained the coolness he didn’t want to scare her, he called her by name, which said he wouldn’t leave her until she tells him what’s wrong Anika tell me what’s is wrong, are you by chance ignoring me.
She felt her knees going weak, throat died, how can she tell him she was feeling shy and nervous to face him, nevertheless she answered him, with trembling voice, she was fidgeting with her fingers, still didn’t gage courage to look up.
A – I umm … I remember the kiss (her cheeks were red, shivay couldn’t see it as she still looking at the floor)
Whereas shivay felt the ground beneath him slipped, he swallowed hard, was she ignoring him coz of the kiss, was she hating him, the thought of his Angel hating him, pained his heart, it was like someone stabbed him brutally.
He knew it was her first kiss, but he didn’t do it intentionally he wanted to calm her, it was the only option strike his mind, from the time he kissed her lips, he was so lost in it he didn’t think what will be her reaction.
But now seeing her avoiding him, he thought he messed up everything, did he hurt her feelings, did she think that he took advantage of the situation,
So many rational thoughts, he couldn’t even imagine hurting her not even in his dream, here he unintentionally hurt his Angel, tears welled up in his cyan blue orbs, guilt engulfed him, he couldn’t control himself from asking her,
S – Dove do y..you hate me (he closed his eyes, he wished she say no, he couldn’t handle himself if she says yes, his voice was filled with guilt, he was in pain)
She was shocked when she heard his voice, she could feel the pain and hurt, she wonders why would she hate him, here she was dying in nervousness, shy, god knows how she still stood in front of him,
What caught her off guard was his guilt voice, with so much courage she looked up to see his eyes, she never saw him like this, he looked miserable, holy sh**t he misjudges her action, his eyes showed how much hurt he was.
She closed her eyes, she couldn’t see him like this, she was only thinking about his pain and how to ease off his pain, the man in front of her looked weak, vulnerable, no one can say he is the same ruthless SSO. She didn’t think much and did what she felt was right at this moment.
Shivay saw her eyes, it didn’t show hater, he felt relaxed, he saw her taking baby steps towards him, she cupped his cheeks, she traced his cheeks with her soft palm which made him close his eyes in bliss,
He felt heaven, she held his arms and bent him to her level, she placed her soft lips on his cheek, she kissed him lovingly, shivay hold her tightly he wanted to live in this moment, it gave him soothing pleasure, this feeling was beautiful and serene.
She slowly whispered, “Shivay I don’t hate you”.
He opened his eyes wide, he was spell bounded, he was amazed and his heart was bursting with joy, a huge smile formed on his face listening to her, he pulled her into a bone-crushing hug.
“Then why were you ignoring me Dove”- came his complained voice
She chuckled and thought, cute, can this man be dumber and look cute at the same time, he was just looking like an adorable boy complaining, she was blushing furiously.
Shivay was keenly looking at her face, her cheeks were looking like a tomato, bright red, making her face glow more, she was fidgeting with her fingers,
She looked shy, it then clicked his dumb head, she wasn’t ignoring him coz she hates him, she was ignoring coz she was shy to face him, his Angel was shy, she was just looking all cute.
A devilish smirk crept his face, he went closer to her, he held her gently in his arms as if she’s a delicate flower, slowly whispered in her ears
“Were you shy Dove” (his voice held mischievousness)
She shivers under his touch, she wondered if he the same man who was mourning in pain and guilt, coz now he was looking like Cheshire cat.
He chuckled when he saw her glaring at him with an angry pout, he pinched her cheeks, which made her pout more and she was looking irresistible, his were dark with desire, he wanted to taste those lips again.
She gulped hard looking into Shivay’s eyes, which suddenly darkened due to desire floating; he looked like a tiger who got his prey, which sent a chill down in her spine.
He asked her, do you trust me, Dove?.
She was still in his daze and meekly nodded her head.
As soon as she nodded her head, he placed his rough lips on her soft plump lips, she tasted like strawberry, her lips were so soft, he was slowly kissing her upper lips, he didn’t want to rush with her, he wanted to cherish this moment in his mind and soul.
She stood rooted to her place, her eyes were closed, she wanted to kiss him back, but she didn’t know how she has never kissed anyone, he was her first, she was too shy, she holds his arms tightly, she badly wanted to respond him, she wanted to feel his lips.
As if sensing her thoughts, he broke the kiss and whispered in his husky voice to follow his lead.
He again claimed her lips, he was kissing softly sucking her lower lips, she started to do same with his upper lips, later it turned into a deep kiss, with passion, he was pouring all his love, he pinched her waist, she gasps, he took it as an opportunity and entered her mouth, savoring every tip of her mouth.
Her hand reached his hair, fisting his hair, she pulled him closer to her, he moved his hands under her top, and his hands were roaming shamelessly on her bare waist.
She moaned his name “Shivay”, which drive him crazier, he kissed her hard, her lips were like a drug to him, his newfound addiction, and they were kissing each other senselessly. This felt like heaven.
He broke the kiss panting hard, they needed oxygen, he looked at her, swollen lips, her hair was a mess, her closed eyes, and she was gasping for air.
He placed a soft promising kiss on her forehead; she hugged him tightly being shy.
He chuckled at her antics and hugged her back, whispering
“You are driving me crazy my shy dove”
