Chapter - 15 Ironman

Shanvi-

So I won the fight, ofcourse.

He is brooding in a corner while I am having Mikey in my lap with a tub of butter popcorns. After around an hour in the movie he gives in and comes sit with us. We feed Mikey Popcorns one by one.

" The dinner is ready. " Rami uncle's comes in the living room. " Where would you like to have it? "

" Oh here please. Thank you. Robert Downey Jr. is so funny. " I giggle.

Rami uncle smiles at me and nods his head.

" Everyone listens to you. " Kiyansh complains beside me.

" Even you do. " I wink and pop a popcorn inside my mouth.

He sighs and we dig into dinner on the floor in front of tv. " It's so yummy."I groan the taste of ' Paneer Tikka' melting on my mouth.

I am glad you like it. Rami uncle's says. " So I will be going to my quater. Call me if you need anything. "

Kiyansh nods his head. And I wave at him ' Goodnight'.

We finish are dinner and I turn towards the Tv without washing my hands. I know gross but it's Ironman.

" Clean your face. You have got the whole dish on your face. "

" Wait " I say.

I am fully submerged into watching movie when a soft but hard hand lands on the corner of my lips. I shriek and turn towards the brown stark eyes.

Something makes my feet twich, him.

" Bug off I am watching the movie. "

" Are you? " He says and his fingers move on my full lips. His hands circling around my lips. The feeling of electrocution vibrates inside me.

" What are you doing? " I manage his fingers moving around my lips.

" Marry me. "

I gulp.

" Please marry me. " He comes closer. The scent of woodpines and chocolate.

I wonder does his hair really smell like chocolate because it sure looks like it.

His face is incheas near me and Mikey barks moving from lap to between us.

I laugh. Mikey starts jumping up and down trying to jump on my shoulders.

Kiyansh is furiously looking at Mikey but he doesn't say anything. I pick up Mikey from the floor, " You know I can marry you for him anytime. " I joke bumping my nose to Mikey.

" You can? " Kiyansh takes Mikey from my hands. And puts it like it's on display while Mikey barks head on. " Shhh I am doing something important here. And you are a big part of it. " Mikey instantly goes quiet. " So Mikey will be completely yours wouldn't you be Mikey if mom marries dad. " Mikey barks and I widen my eyes.

" Hey you were in my team " I point my fingers at him.

" Tell him Mikey you were because I wanted you to. " Mikey barks again.

My mouth opens. " Oh my god. You both are such a traitor. I am going home huh. "

I get up from the floor for fun. And Kiyansh let's go of Mikey who tugs at my jeans with his mouth. I shake my head at both of them.

" He wants you to stay don't you Mikey? "

At this Mikey for a second leaves my jeans, barks and then again tug at my jeans. " Have you bewitched him or something for the time I wasn't here? "

Kiyansh gives me a small smile. " So you are staying right ? "

The smile like a devil makes me do something which I haven't done for years. " Okay I will. "

The grin that passes on Kiyansh's face makes his face look like a sun chasing all the darkness away.

" Leave her Mikey. " Mikey instantly let's go.

" Oh my god. " I say and pick him up from the floor squealing with joy. They made me forget about Ironman. Shit. I turn and see the movie has ended.

We play for an hour more then Mikey goes to sleep near Kiyansh room.

" You should change. " Kiyansh says looking right at my eyes his eyes not moving an even inch down.

" It's okay I can sleep in my jeans "

" No I will give you my clothes. Come. " He looks at me for a second then moves towards his bedroom. It didn't feel so awkward when I visited him with his family or with Sahana. The thought of her falters my step. Kiyansh turns to me in the doorway. " What happened? "

I regret my decision to stay when I think about how many times she must have stayed over. Maybe even Mikey likes her more. And he stuck with me because he was missing her.

" Shanvi " Kiyasnh looks at me with worried eyes. " What happened? "

" Nothing I am just tired. Could you show me the room I am supposed to stay in and give me the clothes there? " The thought of going to his room and thinking about him and Sahana makes my gut wrench. I don't want to think about them all night.

He doesn't say anything but looks at me warily. He moves through the marble doorway taking me towards a room with black wooden door with electric thumbprint on the lock. He touches his finger then tells me to touch mine. " It's programmed yours too now. "

" Okay " I say and step inside. A big king size bed is in the middle of the room with a beautiful ivy patterned headboard. Near the bed is a big glass wall, which shows the clear view of beautiful outside garden filled with Rosewood trees and mahogany trees. Instead of being to his house I feel like an alien to an unknown land. Because the past four years. I only visited if I ever did, his living room.

I turn from my thoughts and find him looking at me. " Can you give me the clothes I want to sleep."

He nods his head and comes to the room after a minute with white t-shirt and black shorts. The t-shirt smells so nice I want to dug my face and smell it but I wait for him to leave the room first.

He stares at me but then turns and takes out a remote from a bedside table. He pushes a button and a ping occurs a black tint falls on the glass window like a blind.

" Here is the remote you can change the settings as you like. The air conditioner is on. So you can change it according to your own temp. "

" Okay. Thanks. "

He looks at me as if he is expecting I would say something but I don't. I don't want to sound stupid. Or think about him and Sahana.

" Goodnight" I wave with a fake enthusiasm.

He looks at me and then a storm passes in his eyes. A cold icy storm. His eyes becomes hard and he looks at me then bangs the door before going out.

I sigh and go to the bathroom. I wrap my face around his t-shirt and take a deep breath. It smells so nice and feels so soft. But did he also give this t-shirt to her?

The thought makes me want to leave the clothes. I feel so abashed at myself even after thinking such thoughts I changed into his clothes and was continuing smelling his t-shirt. I looked longingly at the bath tub and the glass shower but decided to just sleep, I wanted to get my mind off him.

What a nice try when you are in his house. I don't know what shot into me!

I jump on the bed and cover myself with a soft comforter.

I don't know how much time has passed but I know one thing, I can't sleep. I turn again and again in my bed. When suddenly the bedroom door opens and I become still.
