Damn it!! She is Drishti Singhania
The boys in her college are crazy over her and begging her for a single glance and this guy here, who was lucky enough to marry her, wants to keep their marriage a secret
Fine!! It's not as if she cares.
"Fine. I'm not dying to advertise it either" Drishti said with a shrug
"And where is the bedroom??" Drishti asked and Shravan cursed himself for not thinking about it before
Where would she stay??
This is a two bedroom apartment and he had turned the guest room into a study for his office works
"Actually there's only one bedroom" Shravan said and Drishti again shrugged
"The kitchen is over there. The fridge is fully stocked. Rajesh kaka's wife comes thrice a week to clean and cook. She might have kept some food in the freezer too." Shravan said and guided her towards his room
Luckily his bedroom has a recliner in addition to a bed and he mentally thanked his interior designer for that
"This is the bedroom. The room next-door is my study. And I don't like anyone inside my study so please stay out of it."
Again that insultingly polite tone!! Drishti gritted her teeth
Who does he think he is
She is here only because of his mother. He should be thankful to her for not hurting his mother by outrightly denying her request
"That door leads to the ensuite bathroom and the closet. The other door leads to the balcony. There's actually another door in the living room which opens to the open terrace."
He showed her the entire apartment
"I will take a shower first and you can freshen up after that. I have an early morning tomorrow." Shravan said and walked into the restroom without waiting for her response
Drishti huffed
She had never been treated with so much indifference in her entire life
She had always been pampered and spoiled.
No!! She is not a spoiled brat if that's what you people and wondering
But she had always been the centre of attention and she couldn't handle the indifference
Drishti looked around sulkily at the bedroom painted black and white
She sat on the bed and checked it's comfort
Okay!! Good! Neither hard nor fluffy.It's firm enough to get a comfortable sleep
She was examining the room when the ensuite door opened and Shravan walked out in his boxers and a T shirt
Damn!! He is hot!!
Drishti mentally fanned herself
"You can use the restroom now" Shravan said and walked towards the bed
Drishti speed walked into the restroom lest he notice her drooling over him
She took a quick shower and that's when she remembered she doesn't have anything to change to.
She had come here empty handed with only her phone
She towel dried herself, wrapped another towel on her hair and wore the terry cloth robe she found there and walked out of the ensuite
Shravan was correcting some errors in a presentation he made for the next meeting when he heard the en suite door opening
All breath left his lungs when he saw her standing there wearing only a robe
He gulped hard
"Why are you in a robe??" He asked through his dry mouth
"What else am I supposed to do?? Walk around naked??" Drishti asked sarcastically and Shravan's imaginations became more colorful
Damn it!!
Stop staring like a creep Shravan Maheswari, he told himself
But she is my wife and I have every right to stare at her, his heart argued
You were singing a different tone a while ago,his brain reminded him
"Just wear something from my wardrobe for tonight. You can go shopping tomorrow" he said and averted his eyes
She walked back into the walk in closet and came back wearing one of his boxers and t shirt
Damn it!! The robe was better
She took off the towel from her hair and towel dried it and kept the towel bundled on the vanity table
Oh he hates that!!
"Spread it somewhere" he said harshly cursing his hormones
"What??" She turned to look at him confused
"Hang the towel somewhere. Don't keep it bundled like that" he said
"Don't tell me you have OCD" Drishti said taking the towel and walking back to the walk in closet
Shravan sighed as she went out of sight
He switched off the main light in a hurry and and switched on the small bedside lamp enough for her to find her way
Less light and less sight!! He sighed in relief
How wrong he was
She came out and watching her in the dim light was more erotic
Is this what happens when you get married??
It's just that he haven't been in such close confines with any woman before. That too so scantily clad
He is a man after all!!
It has got nothing to do with marriage and wife
Drishti got on the bed beside him and he looked at her sharply
"You can take the recliner" he said.
He was not being arrogant. The recliner is small for him and she would fit perfectly in it
It is a practical solution
"Why should I??" Drishti asked angrily
"My house my rules" he said making her roll her eyes
"You can take the couch if you want. I need the bed" she said lying on the bed and in a swift move he hovered over her smirking
"That eager to share my bed wifey??" He asked smirking at her
Drishti stared at him and a smirk made it's way to her face
She wound her arms around his neck and pulled him closer
"You are right. I love cuddling. I can't sleep without cuddling. Let's cuddle to sleep hubby jaan" Drishti said and the smirk vanished from Shravan's face and he jerked away from her
"I knew you were trouble" he mumbled to himself and turned away from her trying his best to sleep
