Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Parth's POV

She started making pakoras ( fritters) and I kept looking at her. Then she slit some whole green chillies, sprinkled salt over them, dipped them in batter and fried them.

Chilli pakora??

" What is that for?? " I asked.

" Eating what else?? " She smiled.

" Woah!! Only you are going to eat them. "

" Ok !! Thanks. " She smiled.

We both served them on plates and enjoyed them with ginger tea. The fritters were very tasty.

She ate the spicy chilli fritters and I kept looking at her she was eating them as if they were not at all spicy.

" Are they good? Shall I try one as well?? " I picked up one of them and looked at her she nodded.

" Oh, God! Oh, my God!! Ahhh! Ohhh!! Shit! " She got me water and I started coughing. Very hesitantly she started patting my back. I loved it.

" This is so spicy. Why didn't you tell me?? My mouth is on fire. Who makes and eats such fire fritters?? " I said and she got scared. She was so sweet and simple.

The chilli fritter was spicy but very good. Before I ate them, Riya was looking at me with so much interest as if she was waiting for my reaction. So I thought of giving one to her.

" I am sorry, sir. I will get some cookies or something sweet... Oh, I can't... Do you have anything sweet??" She asked and I shook my head.

She looked helpless and all of a sudden her eyes started getting filled with water. She said sorry to me.

Oh my God!!

" Hey, don't cry!! I am fine! It's ok. " I said.

" Hunh?? No, you are lying. I am sorry. I should not have let you eat them. I should not have made them at all. Sorry. Eat some sugar. " She said.

I swear I wanted to kiss those sweet lips as they looked sweeter than honey but controlled my urge.

" Relax !! I was teasing you. They were amazing. I loved them. Wait I will show you. Look !" I said but she shook her head and caught my hand. I smiled and started eating them one by one enjoying them.

She was shocked to see me.

" See, I am enjoying them. I love spicy food. I am from Rajasthan, have had Mirchi Wada many times. Stop crying!! I was just teasing you. Sorry !! " I said and went to her and wiped her tears with my thumb.

Her skin was so soft. She was still shocked, looking at me with an open mouth.

Oh, her sinfully tempting mouth was just a few inches away from mine.

I didn't realise that I was looking at her mouth as if it was my favourite dessert. She moved back.

" They were amazing!! Will you make them again for me, please?? " I said. She nodded but glared at me.

" Come on!! Let's finish them. It is a sin not to finish them, see it is still raining. Awesome!! " I said and pulled her towards our plates.

We resumed eating, her hair was dry by now and was looking beautiful. I wanted to run my fingers through them.

Oh, God!! I needed to stop thinking about her.

So I asked her if she would like to see some movie?? She shrugged and agreed.

" Horror? "

" NO!!! I would not be able to sleep for a week. "

" Action? "

" I will sleep in the middle of it. No, please. "

We discussed all the genres and finally settled for romantic comedies.

We selected the movie and started watching it. We both loved it, she was laughing and I loved watching her. She blushed at all the romantic scenes and kisses. I could literally see her cheeks turning red.

She was truly beautiful and I was wondering why she was hiding it?

I wanted to know her secret at any cost, but she was not going to tell me, if I asked her. I would have to find out.

But first of all, I wanted to ask her to come to the welcome party. I turned to look at her and was surprised to see that her eyes were getting heavy and she was very sleepy.

I smiled at the thought of her sleeping in my home. I felt very good about it. I lowered the volume of the TV and kept looking at her.

Her face was like a child, soft, cute and angelic. I could not take my eyes off her. Her neck started dangling to one side so I sat next to her and adjusted myself in such a way so that she could rest her head on my shoulder.

It was such a nice feeling to be sitting like this. What was happening to me??

Just a few days back, I wanted to stay at least a mile away from her and now, I want to see her all the time. She snuggled into me and hugged my upper arm while her head was resting on my shoulder.

Her warm breath tickled my neck and I could feel my arm pressed against her bosom. I was getting excited and wanted to feel her in the circle of my arms.

This girl was injurious to my heart.

My phone buzzed and I cursed immediately as she was sleeping so peacefully holding my arm.

But she stirred and raised her head. As soon as she realised, that she was holding me she got away immediately and apologized.

I wanted to kill whoever called me. Idiot!

" It's ok, you were feeling sleepy, now, you can go and sleep in my room. " I said.

" No way!! I am fine here. Please go and sleep. " She was adamant.

" Do as I say!! " I ordered her as I do in the hospital.

" You are not my boss here. It's your home and you will go to your room as it is this couch is big enough for me and very comfortable too. " She shook her head and smiled.

" But you are my guest... "

" No, either I stay here or I will go away. " She insisted.

" Ok, sleep here, I will get you the pillow and duvet. " I said and she nodded.

After I gave her both the things, I got into my bed and tried to sleep as well but could not. I kept thinking about her with a broad smile on my face.

I could not sleep, so after about an hour, I went to the living room to check on her. She was sleeping like an angel cuddling my pillow. Her hair was still open. I went near her and touched her hair. They were softer than silk. I wanted to wrap them in and around my fingers while making passionate love to her.

Shit!! Why was I thinking like that?

She was too innocent and sweet for my dirty thoughts. But her beauty, her lush curves and most of all her innocence were driving me crazy.

I needed to find out what was she hiding and why?
