"Dr. Guptha, there's an emergency. There's a patient with ruptured ectopic pregnancy. You are asked to be the performing surgeon."

I swallow my sigh, looking at my junior blankly,getting ready for the OT robotically,"Send me the patient details."

I stare at the familiar OT,the place bringing back memories fresh in my mind,after a meeting.

There's a life depending on you,Sandy. Snap out of it.

I shake my head putting my thoughts to rest,when I hear my phone ping, indicating a message. I quickly go through the patient details that my junior Seema had sent,getting ready for the OT.

I was so grateful for the distraction the operation provided me, demanding my entire focus and concentration,though my mind quickly went back to a certain someone,not allowing me to smile wholeheartedly when the family thanked me for operating on their daughter,just robotically talking to them and fulfilling my duty as a professional.

Snap out of it,Sandy.

By the time evening came,I was ready to get out of the place. The concerned stares of my friends were putting me off.

Three days. It's been three days since I'm back from home.

And I didn't even meet the asshole directly,just a common friend.

"Hey Sandy. Are you leaving?"

"Yeah Anshu. I'm done for the day."

"Oh",my best friend stared at my face,"You okay?"

"I'm good",I force a nod. I had briefed her about my meeting with Nikhil.

I just need a good cry.

Anshu only stared at me worriedly.

"I need to be alone for sometime. I'll be okay",I smile.

"Are you sure? You can talk to me Sandy."

"I will",I nod,"Just not right now.My emotions are all over the place right now. I'll... I'll be fine dude."

"Okay. I wish I wasn't on duty today..."

"Don't be silly. Go."

My best friend wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a protective hug. I close my eyes,hugging her.

Why do hugs entice tears?

I controlled the water tank though. I didn't want her to worry. I can cry all I want in another twenty minutes.

"Bye."

I screamed into my pillow, throwing myself on the bed as soon as I was in my room, angry tears staining my face.

Why?Why can't I get over him?

It's been a year,for heaven's sake.

I cry into my pillow,letting my heart let out the bottled up emotions.

Maybe it's time to get a boyfriend. Or have sex.

I weep into my pillow,letting my eyes burn,nose run,and most importantly my heart ache.

My eyes close automatically after sometime, exhausted.

We walk alongside each other, our hands itching to touch.

"Sandeepthi!"

I wince,glaring at him,"Sandy",I grit out.

Dhruv rolled his eyes,"I called you four times. You are staring right through me."

I blush, hoping he wouldn't notice."I zoned out."

"Never seen such a handsome face?",he teased.

I scoff, trying to play it cool, although my heart started racing,"Sure."

He gives me a look, clearly not believing me.

"So you were saying?"

"Right. Do you want to go to this place for dinner tonight? I found it recently,though I don't remember it's name well. The food was great. It reminded me of you."

My cheeks pinked. Was he asking me out on another date?

"Uh...I...",I stammer,even though what I was thinking inward was just 'OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod'."Okay. Sure",I squeak.

Dhruv only smiles, giving me a knowing look as he entwines our fingers,bring my hand to his lips as he kissed the back of it.

I shiver, his lips burning my hand.He continues to hold my hand in his,the familiar feeling of our intertwined hands making me giddy with joy.

It was only when we heard loud, intentional throat clearing that we jumped apart,flushing.

"Am I disturbing something?",Anshu queried,amused.

I glared daggers at my best friend, irritated that she spoiled our moment.

"Of course not", Dhruv pocketed his hands.

"Sure. Let's leave. Yeah?",she turned to me.

"I'll drop Sandy",Dhruv volunteered,"We have plans."

"Sure sure Senior",Anshu grinned.

Dhruv rolled his eyes,"We'll drop you. The destination is on the way."

Anshu clutched her heart dramatically,"You don't have to sacrifice for me."

"Anshu",I whisper,my tone warning.

"Sure Dhruv. You can drop me."

"Why does Anshu do that?", Dhruv asked, looking at me from the corner of  his eye, after we dropped Anshu.

"She's just like that",I shrug, mentally strangling Anshu in my head three times.

"Oh. Is it?"

Is he intentionally being sly?

I smirk,"She thinks there's something going on with us."

Dhruv hums,amused,"Is she wrong?",he winks.

I stare at him,this was the most vocal he was,apart from the-

My thoughts are interrupted when he places a sudden break,"Sorry. Sudden signal."

I clear my throat,"It's alright."

We reach the restaurant,and place our orders after we're seated comfortably.

"Do you like the food?"Dhruv questioned midway.

"Yeah. It's really great",I smile.

He stares at me intently,his eyes flickering to my lips. I blush,averting my gaze shyly as I let him stare at me.

There was palpable tension while we ate,making it awkward. I breath a sigh of relief when we finished eating. Although I could diffuse awkward moments,it was difficult for me to do so when he stared at me like that.

"The food was amazing. Thanks for introducing me to the place",I say while putting on my seatbelt, startled when I found him nearing me.

He cleared his throat, looking away,"I was just putting the window up."

I smile,thinking inwardly, Couldn't you do it from the driver's seat. But I don't say anything.

It was only when I reached the doorstep of my room to get inside did he take a step.

I gulped when he locked the door behind him, walking towards me, pinning me to the door as he stared at me.

I lick my lips,staring at his own pair, tempted to have a taste.

My body cried in relief when he pressed his lips to mine,our lips moving over the others' urgently. I moan when he sucks on my lower lip, rolling it gently into his mouth as he sweeped his tongue over my upper lip.

I grant him access,my arms going around his neck as he circles his arms around my waist lifting me up to get better access to my mouth. A strangled moan escapes my mouth as he traces the shape of my body,his lips leaving my throbbing ones as he sucks on the flesh of my neck,my head lolling to the other side to give him better access as I fist his shirt.

I jump when I feel his warm hand entering under my top, travelling Northward,as he cupped my aching mound in his large hand, squeezing it in his palm,my legs tightening around his waist.

I arch my back when he places his lips on my heaving breasts,moaning loudly when he bit into the flesh over my bra,the sensation mind-blowing. He flicked his tongue over my erect nipple,freeing my assets from my bra, not allowing me to be self conscious as his mouth covered my nipple,tugging on it hard as his other hand went to cup my sex.

My eyes shut in embarrassment as I could feel him coming in contact with my damp pants.

He pulls away,resting his forehead over mine when I jerk back when he cupped me hard.

I blush when we make eye contact,not sure if I want to continue. Though my body is begging me for it,common sense is asking me to stop it.

He carries me to the couch, cupping my ass as I straddle him while he breathes heavily.

I allow him to pull my top off,my mind blank.

He continues his assault on my breasts,my hand in his hair as I grind on his cock.

He squeezes my ass harshly, pulling on my hair when I rub our sex against the other.

He runs his hand over my inner thigh, inching closer to the wet patch between my legs.

"You sure about this?"

I swallow. This was a big step. Am I ready for it? Not sure. But I really want to orgasm though.

I grip his cock in my hand,"Let me make you feel good. Not sex though."

"What?",he asked, confusion evident in his tone.

I only slid his pants and boxers down, placing kisses on his erection, swiping my tongue over his precum.

"I would like to do the honours first,then."

My heart jolted when he stripped me, kneeling between my legs as he ran his tongue over my slit, his fingers separating my folds as he ran his tongue over my opening, making circles,as he rubbed my clit. I squeeze my eyes shut,my hands in his hair as tension builds in my body as he continues to eat me out. I writhe when he sucks on my clit, inserting a finger inside me, hitting my G-spot precisely. My toes curl as my walls quiver,juices leaking out of me as I collapse,my bud overly sensitive as he continued licking me.

"That was amazing",I gave him a smile as I let him kiss me,moaning when he slapped my sex,the pressure on my already sensitive clit amazing.

I kiss down his chest as I cup his balls,taking his member into my mouth. I wince when he grasps my hair, thrusting into me at his pace as he started to fuck my mouth. I relaxed my throat, allowing him to thrust as I tried to take him in and pumped the length I couldn't. In no time,I could feel him unloading into my mouth,his sperm neutral in taste.

I place a kiss on his flaccid member,after swallowing his cum, squealing when he pulled me into his lap.

"You know the sex will be better, right?", Dhruv ran his hands over my breasts,squeezing them.

I moan,burying my face in his neck,letting him wrap his arms around my waist,going to my ass.

"Maybe",I shrug,"But I kind of chickened out",I admit as I spread my legs wider, allowing him to insert his fingers into me.

"I understand",he pumped into me,his fingers disappearing into me as he placed a kiss on my lips.

He bites my lips, thrashing his fingers harshly into me as he brought me to brink once again.

We lay in each other's arms, exhausted.

And somehow,the dynamic between us shifted it's complete axis that night.
