Can't help falling in love

Chapter 43: Ishq Bulava

"Are you still mad at me, or do I get to finally say it?" Arjun asked, while he was sitting on the bed, with his phone in his hand, sending an email. 

"Say what?" Meera asked skeptically as she came out of the bathroom and gave him a restrained look 

Arjun rose up, and walked towards her, Meera's eyes widened and she stared at the wall opposite hers without knowing what to do. Arjun came and stood in front of her, obstructing her view. 

"My eyes, are up here Meera, but if you wanna check out my body, that's fine too" Arjun said haughtily, Meera skeptically raised her eyes to meet his. 

"Happy birthday?" Arjun whispered 

"No! you're late!" she said using his own words against them, she began walking away when Arjun pulled her by her left wrist, making him come extremely close to his body. She gasped as she placed her hands on his chest to balance herself. She made eye contact that only lasted a blink! She regained her composure as she took a step back, being well aware of Arjun's gaze. She was supposed to be mad at him! Not melt in his touch! oh god she needed help, maybe she'd call pranav later in the day and understand how to resist Arjun's touch that turned her insane!

She took a step back looking at everyone but Arjun, making Arjun take another step towards her as he smirked.  Meera suddenly looked at him ferociously and pushed him a little. 

"What is this that you keep doing!" She said walking briskly and furiously towards him, using her index finger to threaten him as Arjun moved back briskly muddled at her reaction. One minute she is blushing and the other she is ready to kill him! Is she a girl or a serial killer!

 "keep moving towards me, keep pulling me by the wrist! what do you think I am! the cave of Alibaba that you keep moving towards or some rubber band that you can keep pulling!" she stuttered

"Why, is it doing something to you Meera" he smirked playfully as he traced a slow circle on her palm, Meera jumped at it and moved her hand away. She genuinely felt like she'd have a heart attack if he continued touching her! She liked it, she liked it so much that she thought she'd explode with happiness! it was giving her an unusual sense of pleasure, having too much of an impact of her, taking her into control, like no one ever managed to do

the intense gaze from Arjun wasn't helping either, she felt her cheeks burning and she had to recheck if her tongue was still in her mouth cuz at that moment it just didn't feel like it was there. 

"Why-why do you keep looking at me like this, as if you can intimidate me, you can't okay, you can't!" she stammered, walking briskly towards him again with her finger out to warn him, Arjun who was moving back at her every step. He cut her off in the middle and caustically said, moving towards her, making her move back quickly and pound her back against the wall, 

"What is this that you're threatening me about! I am not coming to eat you am I! will you stop running away for a second!" He said angrily, making Meera stop, she said nothing and pretentiously stood there, apparently uninterested in what he had to say. 

"Here's your gift" He handed over, a wrapped parcel that was lying on the bed. Meera still annoyed about the entire situation, trying to fight away her feelings, took the parcel in her hand. "thanks" she said bluntly 

"You're not going anywhere before you open this!" Arjun said caging her between his arms, his voice wasn't seductive, it just showed his readiness for a banter. 

Meera complied, very uninterestedly, she opened the gift, it unwrapped to reveal a book, 

The satanic verses
