I finished work around 6 p.m. I had to meet Farhan. Guilt is eating me. I knew Farhan isn't for me. I knew I can not truly give myself to him yet I let myself fall in to this mess. Farhan actually deserves someone better, someone who loves him.

I decided to stay back and do some work till 8. Steve didn't call me afterwards. I know he is busy and I had been very busy as well. But it feels somehow nice to be with the one I am madly in love with.

And then suddenly I heard someone scream "Fire" and fire it is.

I opened my office door to see the entire place is burning down and smoke is coming from everywhere. I felt like chocking.

"Stella, Maria everyone out" I screamed before going to staircase which took me to lobby and then out of the office. From the look of it I don't think I can put off the fire. I ran to my desk and got few important stuff including my phone, and ran back to the stairs which by this time is kind of burning down.

I couldn't see a damn thing. I started coughing but somehow manage to keep conscious. Alhamdulillah, finally manage to get to the lobby and out of the building before it burned down.

"Everyone okay?" I asked Stella who was right next to me.

"Yes. We called the fire brigade. Are you okay doctor?" she asked concerned.

"Yes, I am fine. How did the fire start?" I asked them, and by this time I can see flames and I heard the fire brigade coming. And people have gathered too.

Before anyone could reply the help came in and we were busy putting the fire off. It's a good thing I have my office at a high end property where help is just minutes away.

And within half and hour the fire brigade manage to put down the fire. And after everything over, I asked the team again on how the fire started.

"We don't know doctor. Suddenly we smell smoke, and the fire kind of spread pretty fast. From the time we alerted you to the time we came down the fire kind of spread very fast"

I asked the fire team and they said it would take a day or two to determine what caused the fire.

I called Steve before some news channel thought it was necessary to publish this as actual news.

"Yes love" he greeted me.

"My clinic burned down. A fire started and luckily we were able to put it off with the help of fire brigade. Sadly the property is damaged and would take time to repair" I told him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine. Everything is okay now. I will sort out some formalities and call you latter at night" I told him.

"Babe, no. I am coming now. Why didn't you call me earlier?" he asked me and I heard him say "meeting dismissed"

"No, listened Steve. I don't know if the media is around. If you stop by and someone spotted us, next thing we would probably see is our faces plastered all over tabloids" I told him honestly worried.

"Sarah, I am coming" and he hung up.

I waited until things got a little calm, and called Farhan to cancel the dinner. He wanted to come but I had to stop him. I have seen Steve angry and right now I am not in a mood to deal with two angry men, both angry at me.All the interior of the building is burned down. Thankfully there is no damage to the structure. But it would cost me a fortune to redecorate unless the insurance pay me.

Within the next hour Steve came in, and from his look I could say things are going to be difficult.

"I am talking to the captain of the fire brigade. Go to my car and f*cking stay inside if you can without getting hurt" he said quite rudely. It piss me off royally.

"How dare you come here and shout at me. I will not take orders from you" I told him flatly.

"Sarah, I will repeat this one final time. If you love me, you would shut the hell up and go to my car. Lock the door and stay for me. I will explain everything latter. If you keep on arguing with me, which will obviously piss me off a lot more, and I am not responsible for what happen next" he said in his most controlled tone of voice. Tears sting in my eyes but I don't cry.

"Your damned car keys" and he gave me his bloody keys and I went to the car hurt, angry and humiliated. I will make his life a living hell for talking to me like that. I secretly vowed and watched him.

Steve gave orders to some. Spoke to some others. I saw him speaking over the phone as well. Then someone drove in and he met with them. After 2 hours of waiting while I call mom and everyone to say what happened, he decided to come to the car. My car is parked luckily on the other side of the property which hasn't caught on fire.

I stiffened when he opened the door but still kept looking outside the window. I didn't look at him. He tried to take my hand in his and pulled it off.

"Babe, not now. You have no idea how worried I was. I drove here like a madman, crossing red signals and what's not. I was worried for your safety. Why didn't you tell me about the fire earlier?" he asked me, and I ignored the question. I could feel the tears again in my eyes. I will not cry, I told myself.

"Damn it Sarah, look at me and talk to me. I swear to God, you can literally drive a man to insanity" right. He kept silent for me a minute.

"If you don't speak to me, I will open this damned car door, drag you like a doll and kiss you senselessly. You have 30 seconds to answer" he threatened.

"You are nothing but a conceited, arrogant, stupid, empty headed........" damn I can feel my tears running down my face "stupid................." and I broke down.

"How dare you talk to me like that let alone treat me like a child?" I manage to ask him with my tears. He reached for me at once, took my face in his hand and before I knew what was happening kissed me on my lips.

I was totally un prepared for it, and hence it took me by surprise. He then kissed my tears, and by now, I was holding on to my tears. And then he again kissed me on my lips before he let go of me.

By now my feelings are messed up.

"Do you think you can kiss your way for the stunt you pulled in?" I asked him.

"I only hoped it would work. I got something to tell you love. I am sorry I spoke to you rudely and man handled you but trust me, until I reached here, I had nothing but fear and anxiety that something might happened to you. I needed to be in control, and I didn't want you anywhere close to something might happened" he said looking worried and exhausted.

"Sarah, babe, you have no idea what you mean to me. I need to talk to you. Can we go somewhere we can talk?" he asked me.

Well, when he asked like that, how could I deny him anything. I nodded my head but before he started the car I asked him one last question.

"Steve, do you love me?"

"Sweetheart, you have no idea how much I love you. How much I hurt for you. You have no idea"

"Good, because it is only because I love you probably a little more than you love me I will forget that you yelled at me like a child" I told him and saw him smile.

"Stubborn woman" he said starting the car while placing a kiss on my hand.

"You should have thought of that before, now too late" I said cheering up a little.

"Come my love, we need to talk" and he drove for about 30 minutes silently. And I waited for him to take me where ever he wants, so I know what he has to say.
