Chapter 78
At this moment, we have a lot of distance between each other. Of course,we are sitting at different places. There is no way he can touch me. Also, there is the clause of the contract that he can't disobey. Yet, I feel his eyes touching my body like none other. The way his unwavering gaze burns holes in my body, I wonder what will happen if he touches me for real. And for the worst, would I stop him? Dhruv pulls away his eyes from me and regains his old expression. "I should bring something for you to eat." He moves up from his seat and walks straight towards his private bar and passes it to the back. I wonder what is behind the bar.
I sigh in my seat and spread my arms and legs over, just to stretch my body. Sitting on this couch makes me feel confined to a small place. Not that I mind, but I have a habit of stretching my body whenever I can. I can't do that in front of Dhruv, so I had to wait for him to leave me with myself and my weird anti

"Boyfriend?" I stare at him in shock. "You–you are my sugar daddy.""Yes, I know." Dhruv says with a straight face. "But I want to be more than that. I hope you remember, Meera. What I said in the park? I want you to like me,not because of my money, but because of me in general." I gulp the lump in my throat. "So, I would like to push our time together beyond the bounds of the six months. I want to learn about you and spend more time with you. I will definitely pay you. But after the six months are over, we get to decide whether we choose to stay or leave from this relationship." He sips his water in the glass. "From my side, I know that I won't be the one breaking this contract." I look at him, my face burning with embarrassment. Yes, it will be me who will break this contract if the time comes. " I am scared that you will leave me. So I want to give my best to hold you back." My eyes flutter and so does my heart, as I hear those words

Dhruv leads me down those dangerous stairs that scare the hell out of me. Again, why do these stairs exist? What is so fancy about having a huge air gap between two steps? I finally put my feet on the floor and feel victorious for making it up here. It was not easy at all. Hard work wins. We both reach the door after then and I find Blondie joining us out of nowhere. He was with us this whole time?? Damn! I forgot about him totally. And how did he make himself so inconspicuous? He certainly got this job based on his talent to be invisible. Eleanor doesn't take just anyone. But I wonder why she took me in. I literally am the worst sugar baby out there. No etiquettes, no grace and I just literally told my sugar daddy that I don't have any feelings for him. Because I don't have any. Right?The question doesn't sit well with something inside me. I know that I don't like him. But why does it feel wrong? Considering the fact that I have nothing wit
Being His Chapter 81
There is a slight chillness in the air, the tree leaves turning a shade darker. Winter is coming. And no, there are no white walkers here. Except the kids who come to get candies on Halloween. Ugh, I hate that festival. Not because of the kids,but because I never had candies with me. Bruh, I don't even have a place to live. How can I provide candies to kids when I can have them for lunch? The idea does not fit well with those small mind, small bodies. They try their cutest expressions and when I refuse, their expressions turn horrific. It literally feels as if I have stolen something from them. And that makes me feel guilty. Hence, the hating conclusion on Halloween. Talking about kids, today Laila is going to attend her first nursery class. Not as a kid, but as a teacher. It is even hard to think of that girl as a teacher. Now don't get me wrong. I love her and appreciate her for who she is. But still, Einstein can't be a donkey and donkey can't be Einstein. That's th

I hate nursery schools. Not because of the teachers that still haunt in my dreams, but because this fucking school stole my relaxation time! The bus drops Laila and me in front of the park that is close to the school. We both walk to the school gate, the chilly air pricking my skin. I should have worn a sweater. The only sweater I have. Courtesy of Udipi Adarsh. Though why is a sweater called a sweater? Does it make you sweat? Hmm. That might be the case. But my sweater is always thin enough to not even let the slightest comfort of warmth reach my body."We are here. Eeeeee." Lai jumps and I look around to check if anyone saw ys or not. Fortunately,no one did. Who will call her as the nursery teacher? Poor children."Yay." I fake my excitement, which is of course, clearly evident. Laila turns around at me and narrows her eyes. The way she does it gives the clear picture that she is Aunt's daughter. There is not even

My head spins as I see these creatures called children jumping up and down the desks, torturing the toys more than playing with them. One of them takes the broken toy train and hits another boy,who then takes the other half of the train to fight a combat with him. Combat with toy train halves. Not swords. These people will be great warriors, I can tell. Some of the children, including little girls, try to climb up the table on which Laila is currently sitting, her entire body trembling at the army. Some of them shout so loud, I wonder if my eardrum is still intact. A few notice me on this side and run towards me. Shit!I try to find an escape route but two boys grab my arms and start dragging it. In a second, I have become a human seesaw on which the children are jumping. "Play, play!!!" They scream and I grit my teeth, trying my best to release my precious and only available pair of arms from the clutch of these demons. I do not regret refus

I stare at the phone screen, my fingers hesitating to press the call button. Should I call him? Or should I wait for tomorrow? He is certainly pissed off right now. And I don't even have the liberty to shout at him. Even if he gave me that liberty, I cannot use it. I took Lai's words seriously. Yes, that same Lai who is currently laying on her butt over the bed like the dead and Sonia is walking over her back to ease the pain. We are in such a condition that at this point, I won't mind if a tractor runs it's wheels over my back. I would rather feel relieved.I blow away some air from my mouth and press the call button. My heart beat keeps pacing up with each ring coming from the callertune. After three rings, the call is received and I feel like running away from the phone and hiding somewhere. "Hello."There is silence for a second. "Hmm. Say." He speaks, his voice heavy. He is angry. I can even imagine his handsom

I honestly did not consider myself being that idiot who actually falls for these overused words like 'you are beautiful.' I have heard them so many times in college, when some men were hitting on Laila. Yes, she could have had a boyfriend at that time, but knowing how her family is, I suggested not doing it. One mistake and she will be grounded forever. Plus I did not believe in those boys. I have seen very few couples in school and college who end up marrying each other. Relationships at such a young age do not remain intact. But what about Dhruv? Has he done this before? The thought of him telling some other girl or even a sugar baby that she is beautiful does not sit well with me."Thank you." I say with a small smile.Dhruv gestures to me to sit inside the car and moves aside to make way for me. "After you." I look at the car with the height backseat. I can get inside it. But my back. He looks at my hesitation.&
Being His Chapter 86
Both Dhruv and Aunt Suru stare at me in silence. I guess the way I said it was awkward. So I look up and laugh. "I mean, childhood days were so good. There was nothing to worry about and all."Aunt Suru smiles. "True. But Mimo does not agree with that." She points at him. But he stares at me for a fine moment. Did he get a hint of my sadness in those words?"No, I do not approve. And please do not embarrass me like that, maa. I am an adult now. I have left my childhood far behind." He says, his voice having a depth in it. As far as I know, Dhruv is quite distant from his family. I wonder why. They seemed pretty normal to me. But then again, maybe they only looked normal from outside. One cannot see the cracks from the exterior. You have to dig deeper to know the truth."But those are so cute, Mimo." I stretch the last word and Dhruv arches an eyebrow at me, while Aunt Suru bursts into laug
