Aditya looked at Sal standing at ease in front and asked, 'What are you doing here?'

Sal placed his hand at the back of his neck and said, 'Before I say anything, I just want to know are you mad at me?'

'Why would I be mad at you? Have you done anything to make me mad?' Aditya replied frowning.

'No but I know you can be unreasonable sometimes when it comes to your girl.'

'What do you mean?' Aditya asked with confusion.

'You know I took Avni in the morning and you are behaving quite normal so I guess you didn't mind.'

'What? You took her? She didn't even mention it. I thought she was all alone.' Aditya said angrily.

'Cool down man! Its not a big deal. Atleast she was safe with me.' Sal said nervously.

Avni came forward and said, 'Why the two of you are fighting? '

Aditya turned his dark gaze towards her and said, 'You didn't tell me that you were with him this morning.'

Avni folded her arms in defense and said, 'Alright I forgot to tell you that I went with him. And by the way you appear as though you want to smash somebody's head.'

Aditya smirked at her description and said, 'You know me so well wife!'

Then he turned towards Sal and said, 'This time I forgive you for taking my wife with you but never ever do that again without telling me.' Avni rolled her eyes at this. He is such a jealous and possessive man. Avni thought.

Sal saluted Aditya dramatically and said, 'Aye aye Captain!'

Aditya just shook his head and said, 'Well, now tell me what do you actually came here for? It better be important.'

Sal smirked at him noticing his demeanor and said, 'Oh!! I didn't know that I was interrupting anything. I am sorry for that.'

Avni sighed and turned away in ambarrassment. Sal continued, 'You can continue to do whatever you were doing. I just wanted to tell you about the meeting that I mentioned earlier, is going to be at 8 this evening. So be ready and reach by 7:45. I want to discuss with you certain matters.' Aditya nodded.

Avni came forward and said, 'I don't believe this! You will be busy with your business and I will be left alone all by myself with no company. That is not fair!' She pouted and Aditya and Sal exchanged glances.

Sal smiled and said, 'No, we are not leaving you alone. Meeting will continue for about 1 hour or so after that there will be dinner and a little party so you can come there at about 9.'

Avni's face lightened at this. 'Ok then I can do that. I've never been to any business parties so it'll be fun. See you then Sal. ' Avni said smiling and Aditya felt a bit jealous.

He looked at her pretty face and wondered what he'll have to do to earn that smile from Avni. She never smiled or laughed much with him and Whenever she did, it made him feel alive.

He wanted to make her happy and he promised himself that he will try his best. But he wasn't sure of himself.

Sal left and Aditya closed the door. He sat on the bed deep in his thoughts and Avni noticed the creases on his forehead. She wanted to reach out and smoothen them with her fingers. But she resisted the urge to do so.

She sat beside him closer and said, 'Are you alright? You appear tensed.'

Aditya looked at her and smiled.'Yes, I am fine. He reached out and kissed her forehead. Avni blushed at the gesture and Aditya said, 'You know I love to see that colour on your face and I will continue to do whatever it takes to see that colour often.'

Avni shook her head and said laughing, 'No you will not.'

Aditya raised his eyebrows and said, 'Really! You so sure? I assure you that I will.' He slided his finger on her cheek and down to her throat. Avni closed her eyes and took a sharp breath.

He came closer and said, 'I am going to take a shower.' He then got up and went inside the bathroom.

Avni repeated the events that happened before Sal came, in her mind and felt stupid. She was just going to give her virginity to Aditya on the basis of one kiss. Was she that desperate? What kind of a person would that make her she thought.

Aditya was right when he said that she wasn't thinking. Now that she was thinking about it, she was feeling guilty about the way she acted.

She realized she wasn't ready to grant herself to Aditya yet. She accepted that she was too much attracted to him but she wasn't ready to give herself wholly to him.

One thing she didn't understand about was why Aditya told her that she don't deserve him. Was there something that he didn't tell her? Was it too bad to share? Avni wanted to ask these questions but whenever she thought of bringing the topic she could never put her words to question.

So, she decided that she'd ask him no matter what. She was just thinking about it when Aditya came out and again as she watched him, all the thoughts evaporated from her mind.

His hairs were wet and small droplets of water were still present on his skin. He was looking radiantly sexy and she was just ogling at him.

Aditya looked at her staring at him and Avni quickly turned her eyes away and started looking down.

One corner of Aditya's mouth turned upwards and he sat near her. He lifted her chin looked in her eyes and said, 'I don't mind you checking me out, you know. ' He winked at her and Avni smiled blushing.

'And there's that colour again. What am I going to do with you wife?' Aditya said grinning.

There are many things you could do and one of them is kiss me again. She was thinking to say this but instead she said,

'For now would you put some clothes on? I was thinking of doing a little work but you moving like that would make it really difficult to focus.'

Aditya chuckled. 'Really! Wow! Is that a compliment I am getting from my lovely wife?'

Avni snorted giving him a crooked smile and said, 'Keep your ego down big boy!'

'Hey!! I don't have ego.' Aditya said frowning.

'Yes you do. Now, don't you have to go for a meeting?' Avni said smiling and throwing his shirt towards him.

Aditya caught it and started dressing. 'Yes, I do have a meeting. But this discussion is not over.'
