Chapter 15 - Butterflies

Neha's face flustered up as Rudra's eyes were towards her body which was only wrapped in a towel. She continuously looked at him then at her body and the next moment, she did an ear-piercing scream getting shocked and embarrassed more!

"What happened? Why did you scream?" He asked in an anxious tone and she could feel how worried he was for her!

"I slipped and now, my ankle hurts!" She looked at her ankle and she started crying like a baby as she was feeling too embarrassed at that moment.

He bent down to her level and held her feet gently not to hurt her but she did wince a little.

"Where is it hurting exactly?" He asked in his deep sexy voice making her more flustered and she was finding it hard to say a word to him, getting more intimidated by him.

"There." She somehow muttered showing the spot and he traced her ankle thinking something, making her feel some unknown sensation by his touch on just her ankle.

"Please do something quickly! It's hurting!" She couldn't help but request him as the pain was increasing rapidly and he looked towards her!

"It's gonna hurt!" He let her know beforehand so that she doesn't yell at him later!

"What?" She just completed saying as she couldn't understand what he exactly meant and the next moment, he twisted her ankle and she screamed more loudly this time.

Before she could realize it, the pain was already gone but she kept screaming thinking he broke her feet and he just calmly sat there feeling amused at her screams! Those screams were giving false assumptions to someone downstairs!

"Don't tell me, they are breaking the bed so soon?" Rishabh asked himself and Asha slapped the back of his head, making him rub his head pouting!

"Concentrate on your work!" She ordered him just like when she used to order him to concentrate on his studies and he pouted more!

Upstairs, Neha finally stopped screaming and started sobbing, staring at Rudra's amused smile.

"You should dress up!" He smiled a little and she realized that she was still wearing a towel so she quickly hugged herself.

"Let's meet up downstairs to have lunch!" He told her and left her room to take a cold shower in his bathroom.

What is she doing to me? This isn't good. I won't feel anything for her! Love makes us weak and I am not a weak person, He thought, making up his mind to stay away from her.

Finally, you are listening to me, his devil side spoke, feeling proud of him.

Rudra, I didn't know you are so stupid. Love can't be controlled by anyone! It will happen at an unexpected time and you won't even realize it! Dude, you are already in love with her, his angel side spoke with a peaceful smile.

~~~~~

"Thank God, he didn't do anything!" Neha muttered to herself and got up from the floor.

Then she checked her feet properly by walking and she was happy as it was completely fine.

"Shit, I forgot to say thank you! Never mind, I will say it at lunch!" She decided and she also thought of doing some household work so that he lets her stay without any payment!

She got out of the bathroom and opened the closet door to find it empty, making her realize that she doesn't have any clothes!

"I can't roam around the house in this towel, can I?" She asked, staring at herself in the mirror while feeling kinda happy and satisfied by looking at her sexy self.

Then she got the idea to ask for a saree from Asha but the next moment her idea failed as she realized that she doesn't have any undergarments and Asha won't have a blouse in her size!

"What should I do now?" She started biting her lips and another idea popped into her mind.

"Should I go and ask Rudra for a t-shirt or something?" She asked herself and started feeling shy to go in front of him in a towel again.

After a few minutes of debating with herself, she groaned in frustration!

"Ugh, fuck the awkwardness!" She screamed in frustration and stormed out of the room.

She started walking towards his room which was on the other side of the corridor. She stood in front of the door and started staring at it.

"Should I knock or just barge in?" She asked herself and after a minute knocked on the door twice but a minute passed, he didn't open the door.

"It's not like, he is making love to someone inside then why knock?" She muttered, not giving a fuck to other possible chances and she dashed inside after opening the door.

The next moment, her face bumped hard with a masculine chest, making her yelp in pain.

"Ouch!" She held her nose as it started throbbing in immense pain and her closed eyes opened to take a view of Rudra's half-naked body which was wrapped in a towel just like hers.

Woah! Sweetcakes, She thought, drooling at his hot body while ignoring the pain in her nose.

"Umm sorry, I was about to open the door. I didn't know that you would barge in like the Flash!" Rudra held her wrist gently, staring towards her.

"It's okay, it was my fault!" She whispered and removed her hand from her nose to notice blood flowing from it.

"Oh no!" She exclaimed in fear, looking at the blood in her palm.

"Shit, you are bleeding!" He also exclaimed in fear and that was the fear of anything bad happening to her!

In the motion of a second, he picked her up in bridal style, startling her and laid her down on the bed.

"You stay here, I will bring an ice pad!" He rushed out immediately, making her feel warm in her heart.

He is so worried for me, she thought-feeling butterflies in her stomach.
