Feel free to point out mistakes.

Arshita

Nervously, I rubbed my palms while he stood few inches before me with his back to me. His hands were inside his blue pants as he looked at the water run through his feet.

We were standing in the beach at night, about 9:00.

"Amazing! " He sang as the waves rushed over his feet and looked back excitedly flashing his shinning teeth in the darkness, lighting the surrounding just with his marvelous smile.

" Come here! I saw you do it with... Ronit. " He said it next to make me more nervous.

" How you know about us... this much? " I finally asked him when he made it hard to resist the curiosity.

"I saw you first time when I came in India for our 2014 business venture. Since then I have just seen you... with people..... happy, passionate and satisfied. But when I decided to finally take over the business in India I thought I will find you married with him but here I see the very different you. "

I took a deep breath and mumbled," Okay. You sound to me a... Maniac. A crazy stalker! I am leaving. "

He laughed and showed his full amused face as if he knew how I was going to react.

Feeling like crazy myself, I turned and started to walk away when he ducked his head from behind to scare the shot out out of me.

" You are scaring me. " I yelled and moved sideways.

" See, you always say that you are alone and want someone desperately and when I am here offering myself the whole you are running away. "He chuckled moving my side. Terrified, I stepped back to hit something hard.

" Sit! I will drop you home only if you want me to drop you at your home. " He smiled opening the front seat for me.

" I will call the Uber. " I said.

" I said I am dropping you for sure but the place you want me take you will be your choice. " He whispered the same way he did to me in the lift the first time we met.

" You can't behave this way, sir. " I tried to bring in every courage I had.

Licking his lips, he craned his head at my side. His hard and warm breath fanned my neck enticing an awkward feelings in me.

" You want me to control myself now?! That's what I have been doing since the day I saw you. You must know how hard it is to block your feelings. " He muttered just next to my ear and kissed the nape.

My eyes widened and I went solid. All the senses stopped working at once as the small kiss over there replayed like millionth time in a single second.

I inverted my eyes to his side as he stared me with dark eyes and tilted his head towards me.

My heart started to skip the beats and adrenaline got the best of me as I punched his bottom of the jaw.

"Ouch! Oh my god, you are.... Oh goodness! " He cried holding his jaw.

I ran up to him and held his head and asked," I am sorry! Did it hurt? "

I checked his jaw and caressed to lighten the pain.

"I don't think so. It feels right." He said darkly. Avoiding to look at his eyes, I lightly slapped his face and stepped back.

" You are good to go then. " I muttered feeling total insane.

" Oh! Just stop biting your lips and playing with your hairs Arshita. " He said hoarsely rubbing his cheek.

" I have a question. Do you do it purposely because I know you know how I feel about it? " He asked holding the door again for me.

Burning with shyness, I slowly slid inside the car. He took the seat next to me and started to drive.

I turned away towards the window but night, night didn't allowed me to view out. Sighing, I looked out through the windshield.

So, how one is supposed to handle a serious stalker?

Should I be even sitting next his seat?

I inverted my neck to look at him. He was looking straight but his face showed he hardly he was trying to laugh.

" Listen, I am not any serious stalker. I mean I had life, actually I do have it now too. I married a beautiful girl though it ended soon,my bad. I never followed you or kept chasing you. " He said and went o laughing.

How come you know about me so much then Richie Rich?

I scoffed in my head and gave him a unapproving smile.

" It's kind of connection that we keep on crashing in different paths. Are you sure you aren't chasing Me? " He pursed his lips and widened his eyes at me.

" Please! I am not sick to follow you, chase you. Stop the car, I am going by myself. " I yelled at him and he chuckled rolling down the glass of the window.

" Look out! Car already stopped. You are in front of your building. And you don't need to go by yourself. " He chanted and smiled sheepishly.

I opened the door and got off immediately cursing my presence of mind.

" Well it was fun today, you know. I was kind of wired of romantic and over emotional stuffs in my life. I needed a good laugh and I had it the whole time. Trust me we will make it even great together for both of us" He said as he started the engine.

"See you at work to-morrow! Don't be late! I don't appreciate it. " He said warily and rode away.

What the hell is it for?

I stomped back to my apartment stepping once or twice on my dress. Angrily I took off my sandals and started my angry March again rattling my purse and sandals.

" I did all this for this stupid date, stupid man who knows me well. Surprise! He likes me too but ends up igniting me. What the hell are you? " I yelled madly lying on my tough bed.

His smiles came into my view, yes smiles because each time it was different kind.

Amused smile.

Silly smile.

Kind smile.

Gentleman smile.

Creepy smile.

Lusty smile.

And Lusty eyes.

I sat up on the bed and put my head over my knees curling up. It was long time that someone made me feel everything today.

Loved check.

Scared check

Angry check.

Beautiful check.

Dumb check.

Chaser unchecked for God shake!

I laid back smiling dumbly and squeaking, "You think you play the games well?! You don't know I was good at swooning people earlier. Let me show you what I can be if I want. You like me but you will always lower me down? So I am gonna make you pay for it Richie Rich." I talked to myself rolling on my bed.

My phone buzzed and I opened 'His Highness ' mail as that's how saved his number.

Let me change it.

I opened the rename tap and changed it to 'Mr. Self Obsessed.'

When satisfied, I finally opened his mail.

To Arshita Agarwal,

Want reports of Sunshine collections on my table tomorrow with file no. XlV29D.

Arman Oberoi

Ceo, Oberoi group of industries.

My head got more churned as I thought he could text me to show some respect after pulling me on a damn date.

Wasn't it he who who gifted me a dress and forced me on this date?

Was he playing with my head?

Little later, I received the text from him. I frowned at the notification before opening it.

Had I forgotten to tell you that your legs were so, so and perfectly tanned?

What?

"I don't know that SIR but you have forgotten so, so dash. "

Am I really talking this way?

Alright, I am.

" Do you really want me to fill in the blank? "

" Yes I do. "

I waited long for the text but it didn't so I got up and took my time change and lie under my blanket again.

When I opened his text, I found five texts.

" I do too. " At 10:45.

" To fill the blank let me see you tomorrow Arshita. " At 11:00

" Are you ignoring me? " At 11:10

" Well you can't !*Smirk you add*" At 11:15

" Be early tomorrow I have little secret of yours to tell. Good night! " At 11:20.

What?

I thought for a second about any before texting him back.

" What are you talking about now?"

The message pinged the next instant.

" Told you, you can't ignore me! Good night. "

I took a deep breath as if I ran I long distance and lost due to my weak head. Grudgingly, I opened the text again and started to type.

" Had I forgotten to tell you something sir? "

My phone buzzed after five minutes.

" I don't think so but you really want to say something now. Go ahead, please! "

Okay!

" You are self obsessed, creepy, arrogant and a fool. Sir! "

I pressed the send button and began to bite my nails.

" You may as well add non-judgmental, know-it-all in a good way, happy go round man and praiser of beauty like you*wink wink*"

A small smile crept in my lips and I put my phone back on the table and closed my eyes.

Do you really like me?

"That's what happened yesterday! " I told Piya everything from the beginning to the end while she was busy reading the text for about last fifteen minutes.

" How many times you gonna reread it Piya? " I scoffed before taking the phone off her hand.

" He waited for your text about forty five minutes! Isn't that a sign? " She shook me a bit.

" Did you see the way he is acting smart with me additionally? I don't understand. But I have decided to play if that's what he wants. " I said the last part but I doubted it.

" Did you notice he invested his precious time in texting you then doing his meetings after already spending half a day with you? " she scoffed me rolling her eyes and sitting straight.

" You are lowering my confidence. You know how I feel with love things. I think it makes me weak. How will I face him like this? " I said nervously.

" He liked you because of your cool nature and that's why he is brooding for you. Stop sulking! Be what attracted him in first place. " she chanted merrily.

" You know, Ronit took that away and I am happy that I got bit mature to understand people than getting my heart broken. I am changing for anyone now. " I stood up sadly and after collecting my things headed towards the office.

My eyes scanned his office as I passed it to find him surrounded with few peoples. I ran to my office and kept my things to hurry to my work.

Why he has to be earlier that early to the office?

First of all, I searched for the the file XlV29D and took out the Sunshine collection reports then ran to the break room.

After I made the coffee, I waked to his office with the files and coffee nervously. I knocked.

" Come in! " He said cheerily.

" Good Morning sir! " I greeted before placing the files and coffee on his table.

" Good Morning and Thank you! " He greeted and stared me.

I refrained from watching his eyes straight.

So that's how I thought of playing with him?

" So." He attracted my attention.

" So?" I asked confused.

"Fill in the blank."

Oh! I hit my head and smiled at him stupidly.

"Yeah, fill in the blank. " I muttered.

He stood up and standing few inches from the me whispered," Undeniably Sexy and long. "

I looked away expect him not knowing what to say. Even though I blurted," Thank you"

"So did you give a thought to what I told you yesterday? " He asked me asking it more uncomfortable for me.
