Chapter 38: Chapter 38

He quickly got out of my hug and turned to look at me. His expression is unreadable. He sometimes does it to shield his feelings from others. Now he was doing it with me. "I could lose my job, Asha. What are you thinking?", he admonished me? " You are the one who wants me to acknowledge our relationship", I shot back. It was raining lightly and I noticed it suddenly. "That doesn't mean I want to jeopardise my job", he said. " You called me Asha. You never call me that", I told him shyly.

"It's your name but I like to call you brat because in that way I don't feel inferior to you", he told me distractedly. What did he mean? Raja was having a complex with me. It was surprising and unfathomable. He never said he felt inferior but he had revealed that side now." Go before someone sees us together", he pleaded. "Let them I don't give a shit", I answered him. He looked at me amused.

" This is why I call you a brat. You can't simply stand the fact that one person's job could be more important than your vanity", he said. I tried to calm myself. He couldn't be talking about me. There was no way I was that vain. Maybe before but not now, definitely not. I growled in frustration.

"That's a sexy voice", he said naughtily. I blushed like a tomato. He quickly regained his composure and told me. " Go people are going to be here soon. But I wasn't prepared to back that easily. I unwillingly turned away from him and began to walk towards the door.

"I will call you", said him. I didn't turn back to see him but I knew what that meant. It was promising and a start to our relationship or whatever it was. When I went back I was more distracted and I hoped that he would keep his word. I saw Rita who spoke with me about her upcoming dates. I didn't want to know what was happening with her but being a good friend I tried to be happy for her.

The classes had started but I felt more optimistic and had reworked all of my assignments. I was very confident in the end and I knew I would change my grade. I had started pestering my professors already. One of them was weird to me but I didn't go after him since I wasn't going to give him what he wanted.

I even met Rocky during recess. He talked to me a lot and even helped me carry my books to the class. The whole class was surprised to see him helping me. He talked to a few of them and they were his big fans. I thought of how Rocky was doing all the perfect things. But it was Raja I wanted. No matter how hard I try, Raja will be my mate, not Rocky. He hasn't understood it but in time he will.

I didn't want to give him wrong ideas or get his hopes up. But it was what I was doing. It felt so wrong as though I was dating both at the same time. One before everyone and one behind the back. But fortunately, I wasn't caught yet. But it was very dangerous. As Raja said his job, reputation and everything will be in danger. I didn't want that though. The only thing I wanted was to be with him without hurting anyone. But it seemed like a lost cause already.

No matter how hard I try I always see myself hurting my best friend Rocky. I sighed and checked my mobile for the last time. There was no call so far leaving me disheartened once again.

Finally, when I was going to my last class I got a message. " Meet me in the shack in ten minutes", it was curt no-nonsense to the point so much like Raja I knew. I waited for the last class to be over. The time was dragging by and I was taking a chance. He would have left. That's what I was thinking the whole time  I was in class. Once the bell rang I quickly gathered my books and was practically running out of the room when I encountered the creepy professor again.

I changed my expression to a calm indifference. "Miss Asha I'm sorry to see a bright girl as you slip out of good grades. I heard that you have been contacting teachers with renewed works for improving grades", he licked his lips salaciously while giving me a disgust to last a lifetime.

I took a huge calming breath and told him," Sir I'm sorry about my grades. I'm trying to study hard and change some things. The teachers are very accommodating but I think I got the mark I deserved on your paper. But I promise you that I'm going to improve myself ", I told him with a fake smile.

" I'm willing to give you free tuition only if you are willing to accommodate it", he said suggestively. Well, don't hold your breath is what I thought. "Thanks for the offer. But I'm going to give it a miss", I told him. " I know you will change your mind after the next exam", he said threateningly. I would like to see you try, I thought. I wanted to say that but I somehow held my tongue.

I nearly jumped when he tried to" accidentally " touch me. He was going to die at my hands. I thought it was annoying. I didn't stop then I practically ran over to the shack where Raja was waiting for me.

When I reached there I saw that Raja was already waiting for me. So I threw my hands over him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back with equal passion. We started kissing then. Once we give into that our hands start to automatically grab the other person. I pushed his tongue with mine and we did a mini duel with our tongue. We got tired after a while and he pushed away from me panting. I was glad that the kiss was halted because if we continued it then we would have gone the whole way right here.
