Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Parth's POV

She fell on the hard floor.

Ouch!!

" Oh, No!! Are you all right?? " I rushed to her side to see if she was fine and to help her to get up on her feet.

But I saw that her foot was twisted badly and she could not get up. She tried to get up but winced badly.

" Wait!! I will help you. " I held out my hand for her to hold it and wrapped my other arm around her waist so that I could help her in standing but she winced again.

So I left her hand and put my arm under her knees to pick her up.

" What are you doing?? " She yelled.

" What do you think, I am doing? Of course, I am picking you up. " I said.

" No!! You can't do that. " She said with her eyes bulging out.

" Are you telling me not to do it or you are saying that I can't pick you up?? " I asked.

" B... both! " She said.

" You think, I can't pick you up?" I asked.

" I am too heavy to be picked. " She looked embarrassed.

" What nonsense?? I can easily pick you up. " I bent again.

" Don't!! You will hurt your back." She tried to push my hand away.

" What is your problem?? Do you want to spend the whole night on the floor?? " I asked her and started to pick her up again.

" I will get up myself, you please leave. " She said pushing my hand away.

"Oh, shut up! Not another word!" I said and picked her up and took her to her bedroom as I knew the layout of her apartment very well, it was exactly like mine.

She was not heavy, as she claimed, in fact, she was so soft and cuddly like a soft toy.

I liked carrying her to her room. I saw that the belt of her robe had opened and I could see her wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts beneath that robe.

Her skin was like silk, soft to the touch. Her fragrance was intoxicating, I kept breathing it deeply, letting the delicate floral scent fill my senses.

Oh, God!! She had long soft silky and shapely legs. I controlled the urge to caress them while I carried her to the bedroom.

I also noticed how her bosom was rising and falling whenever she took a breath.

You idiot, you should not look at her like that.

Yeah... I know.

I saw her bare midriff as the lapels of the robes had opened. Her skin looked so soft and silk-like. I was tempted to...

Shit! Shit! Shit! Stop it!!

What was happening to me all of a sudden?? This was not fair...

I laid her on the bed and wanted to run away from there but she was in pain.

" Where is the first aid box?" I asked. She was wincing in pain and being a doctor, I could not leave her like that.

She pointed towards a drawer. I opened it and took out a box. I applied a block of ice on her foot first and then patted it dry before spraying the pain killer on her foot and tying a crepe bandage over it. I looked at her, she looked absolutely different right now. Beautiful!!!

You have lost your mind!! Just said the same thing for the fifth time. My inner voice said again.

Shut up!

" Thanks a lot, sir. I am fine " She said.

" Hmm... Good! Have you had dinner? "

"Yes, sir! "

" Ok, have a pain killer if you feel pain. I will lock your door for you, just don't get up. Bye, good night. " I said and left immediately. I opened the door of my home, went inside and leaned against it.

What was I doing?? I changed my clothes and went to sleep.

But I was wide awake for the rest of the night... All my thoughts drifted towards her.

Riya's POV

Dr Parth went away after a quick good night, but I felt very embarrassed and something else too.

I didn't know what it was, but I felt something... He was looking at me differently ever since he came to my home.

I had just taken a bath and washed my hair as I had long hair and it takes a lot of time to dry them naturally.

I wore my usual night clothes as I was not expecting anyone I just wanted to get into my bed with my romantic novel on my laptop.

But the doorbell rang and I was surprised to see him through the peephole. I wore a robe over my tank top and shorts and opened the door.

He was looking at me with a different kind of expression. I was getting uneasy.

He told me to stay away from Dr Kunal and we had a discussion. Finally, he accepted that he was annoyed with Dr Kunal as he was creating misunderstandings between a couple.

Well, I knew, the couple was Dr Parth and Dr Siddhart.

He said that Dr Siddhart was the most important person in his life. He really loved Dr Siddhart and could do anything for him. So it seems that Dr Kunal was annoying Dr Siddhart which made Dr Parth behave like that.

I don't know why, but I felt sad to hear that. I liked Dr Parth's overprotective nature towards Dr Siddhart. I wanted someone like that in my life too.

I needed someone to take care of me like that. Someone who could do anything for me... someone I could trust.

Someone like... Dr Parth.

Shit!!

I must not think about Dr Parth like that, he is in love with Dr Siddhart. I guess, Dr Siddhart was very lucky...

God !! Have you sent one such person for me on this earth as well?? Please send him looking for me.

******

I was embarrassed that I slipped over the water droplets which must have dropped from my wet hair. Dr Parth tried to help me in getting up but I seemed to have sprained my foot.

I had felt sparks in my body when he wrapped his arm around my waist.

I had always loved romance novels and read that whenever the male protagonist touches the female protagonist, she feels sparks and tingles all over her body.

But today, when he touched me I really felt them. I was too shocked to say anything. I told him not to pick him up as I was too heavy, but he ignored it and told me to shut up.

The next moment he picked me up as if I weighed nothing. I could feel his strong chest and arms against my body when he carried me to my bedroom.

Later he tended to my foot and went home all of a sudden.

My heart skipped a few beats and then started beating with an accelerated tempo. I was too shocked to say anything as I was feeling a few alien things, I had only read about.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Why was I thinking on these lines all of a sudden? I know that Dr Parth was tall, dark, handsome, well built and quite good looking. But so was his friend, Dr Siddhart and many other male doctors who had some of these physical qualities, including Dr Kunal.

Then why was I feeling like that for Dr Parth?

I can't think like that for him... He is in love already and can never reciprocate my feelings.

It was better when he kept shouting at me. I must annoy him so that he keeps shouting and I don't feel anything for him.
