Against All Odds

Chapter 55 Back to square one?

Niyati's POV

Here I am again standing behind my door trying to gather courage to go out and face the….. devil?.... troublemaker?.....ok ok my handsome prince.

Why am I the one hiding here? I didn't even do anything. He was the one who did it…..'it'.

Right! And the neighbor was moaning when he did it? My subconscious said.

When it comes to Shaurya, even my subconscious is on his side. Great!

But he did it and I am not at fault. So I am going to face him like nothing happened.

Taking long breaths once, twice I opened the door and guess what? I collided into the muscle wall.

So much for avoiding him!

The moment I knew it was him I couldn't even lift up my eyes and look at him. I was already blushing. Thank God we don't actually blush like tomatoes like they mention in stories on Wattpad, else Shaurya would have definitely seen it.

I don't know from where I gathered some courage but I did and stepped to my left,  trying to move ahead. Trying because he was once again in front of me. So I went right and yes he was there again. What is he trying to do?

Should I be angry or irritated?

Maybe, I should be. But here I am still looking at the lovely floor trying to avoid facing him and smiling like an idiot.

Ok here goes nothing.

I looked up to find the devil smirking at me.

He started to bring his face closer to mine and I continued standing there as my heart started speeding again.

He was close. Very close.

He brought his mouth near my ears, softly whispering
" Don't you dare try to hide your face. It's been so long I saw you blushing. I really want to kiss you again."

My eyes almost popped out hearing what he said. When did he get so shameless?

When I raised my head to look at him I was expecting a smirk or some teasing expression. However my heart melted when I saw nothing but a serious and soft adoring face. When I looked into his eyes it was so difficult to look away.

" Aren't you love birds getting late for office? You work together, remember? Go and romance in your office instead of corrupting my innocent mind."

It was like someone put a bucket of cold water on us. We immediately jumped away from each other.

" Innocent my foot! Next time you pop up when we are together you won't be getting pocket money for two months."

" Oh common! It's not like you were kissing her. I wouldn't have disturbed that. I would have made a nice video instead. Then your brother would have paid me twice the pocket money to just take a peek."

" So much for calling yourself innocent. I see one pic of us in your cell and trust me you will regret it."

" Are you sure I don't have any? Morning scene was pretty intense to avoid."
And Yogi ran away holding her college bag in her hand.

Shaurya was laughing while I had gone pale thinking she saw whatever happened.

How can he be so cool about it? I glared at him. He must have gotten the hint as he stopped laughing.

" Chill sweetie! Don't give her any sweets to eat for a week and she will delete it herself."

He said it shrugging his shoulders as if it was no big deal and here I was about to get an attack.
