Now and Forever 14. Aftermath
The week took too long to go by for Nandini's liking, mainly because of her boss's cranky attitude. He seemed irritated with everything and anything the whole week and she knew pretty well none was his fault. Those were just the side effects of being the victim of mind control. He did try not to show his temper when she was around but most of the time it just led to sudden outburst and a lot of coaxing from her. "Sir has been too strict with us this whole week. I don't even want to attend today's committee meeting." Nandini heard an employee say as she passed through the corridor beside the balcony. "Yeah did he get ditched or something? It's like he's been taking out someone else's frustration on us." The other replied with a sigh. Nandini lightly knocked on the balcony door as she let herself in. "Lunch hour is over. You both do realize that, don't you?" On hearing Nandini's voice both of them became alert. "Eh, we were just about to get back to work." One of them replied, scra
Now and Forever 15. Overdose
Nandini had been barely hanging in the presence of Manik with the help of her substitute tablets but now that all her tablets had been confiscated she didn't know what to do. She had been so used to relying on her high dose tablets that the normal doses seemed to have no effect on her, not even when she had chugged down three tablets in one glass of water which wasn't exactly considered a good thing to do and now she had been regretting it as the tablets effect had started kicking in. Her head felt heavy and she couldn't get a grasp of what was going around. She felt as though the world was spinning and she was spinning along with it. "Nanz!" Someone's hazy voice reached Nandini's ears and that made her a bit alert. "Nanz! Nandini! Are you okay?" The voice sounded more clear and the feeling of being lightly patted on her cheeks slowly started kicking into her system. Simultaneously her blurry vision cleared too. She noticed three things in quick succession as soon as she got back to h
Now and Forever 16. Broken connections
Skyler was dead tired by the time he reached the square. The day had been nothing but a train wreck. He had forgotten to refill his substitute tablets and he had eaten nothing since the morning. Moreover, he was called in to attend a case briefing meeting with the senior officers and he was handed over a missing person case which wasn't even supposed to be dealt with by him in the first place. To add up he had to deal with some grueling paperwork that he had just gotten done with a few minutes ago. All he wanted to do right then was to throw himself on his bed and sleep but unfortunately, that luxury wasn't meant for him. He got a call from Nandini asking him to come to the square and he wasn't given the slightest hint as to why he was called. Sighing he pushed the door of the VIP room open. "Why did you call me im-" His voice died down his throat as soon as he stepped inside the room, for he smelled a familiar enthralling scent. He didn't need to turn to look at the person for him
Now and Forever 1. The Elevator
Nandini rushed through the lobby of the intimidating building, adjusting her sleeves. She was late on her first day of work and she was so sure either she would get scolded or worse fired. Both the thoughts made her tensed. She had set her alarm clock for six in the morning and slept early the night before just so that she could manage to wake up early but even after trying so hard, her eyes betrayed her this morning too. She mumbled few curses under her breath as she waited for the elevator door to open. "Oh come on. Come on." she impatiently tapped her foot. For a second, she thought of teleporting but the very next second she dumped the idea. She was a vampire, an existence unknown to the human world. She had a petite figure but you can't judge a book by it's cover, she had a strength of a gigantic elephant or even more than it. She could teleport from one place to other in less than a second which, even among her peers, only very few could do. Because of her uniqueness she wasn'
Now and Forever 2. Attraction
Nandini heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of the office building. She had been running around the whole day from one department to another. She was sure if not for her perks as a vampire, she would have fainted. More than that she had a hard time controlling herself from pouncing onto him. The thought of wanting to suck his blood had passed through her mind countless of times and controlling her inner instincts made her more tired. "Miss Taylor get me this. Miss Taylor get me that." She mimicked his lines and sighed irritatedly, "For god sake I have a name. He can just call me Nandini and I would be fine with it." Right then the scent of fresh blood hit her nostrils and she could feel herself longing to taste it. "Not-" she breathed in the enthralling scent. "not again." She failed to control herself. Her feet took her nearer to the scent. Blood. Fresh blood. Her subconscious mind chanted. "Miss Taylor what are you doing here?" Manik asked as he saw her nearing towards him.
Now and Forever 3. Low blood pressure
Nandini could feel her self control giving in to her desire of sucking his blood. Frustrated, she covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, trying hard to block his scent but it did nothing. She turned to leave but Manik's voice stopped her midway. "Did I tell you to leave Miss Taylor?" She closed her eyes in frustration. "No sir you didn't." she turned to face him. "Brief me my schedule." he reclined on his chair and looked at her. "And uncover your mouth. It's irking me." "Yes sir." she complied as she uncovered her mouth and his blood smelled even stronger than before. She dabbed her lips and clenched her fist trying hard not to lose her control. "Miss Taylor brief me my schedule." he said yet again and she forced a smile, taking out her phone from her pocket. "At 12:00, you have one me-meeting-" she paused, letting out a sharp breath, before continuing, "with the strategy and planning department regarding the recent updates made in the game sir." "And what more?" he cl
Now and Forever 4. Jealousy
Nandini had never felt any sort of craving for sucking human blood. The tablets had been acting as a great remedy and she thought she would be absolutely fine living amidst humans but now after meeting Manik, she was having second thoughts. His blood had this strong sweet scent and it made her lose her calm. Even the tablets she took could only calm her down to some extent for maximum three hours. The more time she spent with him, briefing and arranging his schedule and accompanying him to meetings, the more her desire got stronger and that was what scared her. Just a week of working with him and she could feel her self control losing to her desire. "Nandini." a familiar voice hit her ears and that seemed to have broken her trance. "Oh, hi Sia." she waved her right hand up in the air on noticing a skinny tall figure approaching her. In a week time, she had grown quite comfortable with Sia, the head of the planning department and also her arrogant boss's childhood friend. "What a s
Now and Forever 5. The man
Nandini jumped out of bed after checking the wall clock. It was 8:40 am and she had to report in the office by 9:00 am. She quickly freshened up before changing into anything she got in her closet. She couldn't take the risk of skipping her breakfast as it would only contribute in triggering her desire for blood, specifically his blood. So she hurriedly heated the leftovers from last night. After she was done eating, she placed the dishes on the sink and hastily tossed a tablet into her mouth. Sighing, she glanced at the clock only to slump on the ground. She was already five minutes late. "Using my powers just one more time wouldn't hurt. Right?" She mumbled to herself before standing upright. She made sure no one was around before closing her eyes and chanting a spell under her breath. The next moment she was inside Manik cabin's attached restroom with her feet dipped in the water filled bucket. Her shoes and her stockings were completely wet. "What a great start to my day!" she
