Chapter 155 - Nightmares Of Losing You! (1/2)

|Innaya|

I watched Eshan for quite a while. My eyes had refused to lose sight of him. However, I did not want to be discovered by him, so reluctantly I retreated. Eshan needed quality time with Fortune and his own self. The way both of them were occupied with each other, it made me feel their bond.

It was the time to get over my cynophobia for Eshan's sake. One day or another, Arjun would take away Fortune. Looking at how adorably Eshan cared for Fortune, I knew he needed a pet. Keeping my fears in his mind, he wasn't bringing any at our hone. I needed to be brave and learn to be accommodating to dogs for him.

After glancing for one last time, I left the two of them in the garden. The gloominess I felt at not finding him on the bed finally evaporated in the thin air.

He was fine, at least physically.

After finishing my morning routine, I went to the kitchen. Eshan was yet to return from the garden. I decided to prepare breakfast for him. From the last couple of days, only he was taking care of me. I decided to do something for him in return. Making banana pancakes for him seemed the best choice.

I was lost when I entered the kitchen.

The breakfast was prepared already. I clearly remembered it was not there when I came before in search of Eshan. At that time, there was nothing on the countertop.

I opened the lid of the pan. The smell of freshly cooked spicy semolina porridge wafted in the air. Along with it, the ginger tea had been brewed already.

How long I took in the shower? I wondered

”Good morning!”

Startled, I was about to drop the lid of the pan. I had not gotten over yesterday's crackling from the beach. Fortunately, I managed to hold myself properly and saved the trouble of dropping the lid.

Placing lid back on the pan, I turned off the flame. I turned my head and saw Eshan standing at the head of the dining table. I wondered where he emerged from. Instead of a white t-shirt and black trousers, he had changed into one of the grey suits. He looked more handsome in it. I smiled finding that his eyes had regained their calmness.

”Bad morning.”

”Huh?” He frowned at my weird answer.

”I don't like waking up to the cold bed.” I pouted, complaining like a child, taking a step at a time. ”Where were you?”

”Don't you know the answer? Someone tried to be sneaky, but failed.” A playful smirk made way on his thin perfectly shaped lips.

My heart flipped at the way his Adam's apple moved. Registering his words rather lately, heat rose in my face after getting caught. I thought I was being careful. I had no intention of hiding from him, but when he had not noticed me in the garden, I chose to watch him in secrecy.

”How are you feeling?” Unexpectedly I asked him something which was not even close to his greeting. I noticed the surprise flashing across his face before his face settled back into that calm facade.

I moved on my feet and got closer to him while his eyes followed me. He failed to keep curiosity out of his black orbs. Either he did not know what I was talking about, or he did not want to talk about it.
