Tamsa's POV
I looked at the man who was sitting on the chair. His eyes fixed on me. I hid Ved behind me. Now what does he want??
I have been kidnapped two times in my life. Two times.
All in the span of one month.
I hugged Ved close to me, as he mumbled something. I squeezed his cheek, and wiggled my eyebrows at him.
"Don't worry Tammu, he is my Mamu, He won't harm us." He said through his squeezed mouth. I looked at him. And double checked the man. He do look similar to him. His eyes were the same rare grey. They both were replica.
So he was his uncle.
But why did he kidnap me then?! I looked at him with a frown.
"Go to your room Ved." He said, his eyes still on me. My eyes widened. Alone, with this man. He was twice bigger than me, and I was not even small. I was heavy --chubby if you say politely-- and I was not even short. I was above an average Indian height, around 5'7". But he was still bigger than me. He was huge.
Ved reluctantly left me. Don't go Vedu! I gulped and turned to the man who was still looking at me. I got up from bed and adjusted my clothes.
"Well, I should leave now." I gave him a nervous laugh and started toward the door. But a hand on my shoulder turned me stiff.
"You looks like you are in a hurry." I jumped when a whisper came near my ear. His lips almost touched my earlobe, almost!
"I... I am not." I laughed again, Why do I keep laughing in situation like this! I want to smack myself. His hand slipped to my waist and he pulled me back on the chair he was sitting. I tried to wiggle out but he locked my legs with his, and moved the chair close to himself.
Oh. My. God.
He leaned to me, I leaned back.
"W... what are you doing?" I asked. He said nothing but kept looking at me, the way he was when I had opened my eyes.
"Tell me your name?" He asked. I don't want to die.
"Ta... Tamsa" I said. He looked at me again.
"Tamsa" he repeated. I nodded. He hummed.
"Where are your parents." He asked. I was still looking down.
"Or..orphan" Why the hell I am stuttering?
"What do you do for a living?"
"Teacher"
"What is the name of your boyfriend?" I looked at him.
"W.. what" His gaze hardened. "I... I don't have one." His eyes softened as if, my answer had pleased him. I would've scoffed, if I had not had my life on line.
"You will stay here until the next notice." I looked at him with my wide eyes.
"Why?" I retorted. " I have a school to attend sir, I am a te.."
"I know, you works in the school, owned by my mother" My eyes widened. What? Oh no! That means he'll fire me. "Ved goes to the same school, so you can go with him. My driver will drop and pick up both of you. So you don't have to worry." He added, and before I could retort he left me in the room. Just as soon as he left, Ved entered my room. At least ved was here with me above all the freaked up things happening here!
I hugged Ved and huffed.
God forbade anything bad happening to me!
This can't be worst!
This is the worst
I am bored out of mind, this is not even funny. After that day, I had not went to school, and nowhere at all. He said we were still in danger and can't go out! It had been four months. All I do is get up, make some food for Ved and Vanraj and sleep back. I was once bored so I had made some food for both of them to eat. They ate it and Vanraj had snapped at all of them asking who made the food! I was so scared that my voice was like a low whimper. I was going to cry.
Seriously, I need to fix this cry in every situation habit of mine
But when I told him, I was the one who made the food, his gaze has softened, and next day he had asked me, pleaded me, if I can make food for Ved and him. I had not had any other work to do so I agreed.
Things I came to know about him are:
1. Vanraj was very reserved. He talks ten sentence a day. Literally.
2. He smiles at the people he loves. I insuniated it from the way he always listened to the blabber of Ved. With a smile.
3. He talks very rudely to his staff, but the situation is totally different to people he loves. He would rather not talk, then talking rudely to the person.
4. He loves to stare. He stares so much that sometimes I think there is something on my face.
And these are only observations, point to be noted, observations and nothing else.
And it brings us here in his posh kitchen as I made food for them. On special request of Ved, today I was making him, spring rolls.
That kid loves to try different food by me. I had always thought that Vanraj was one of those who looked after there diet. I was so curious as to why he eats something that is considered unhealthy to gym freaks.
So I asked him.
He said that he would work a few hours extra in gym rather than leaving something this delicious. I won't lie, his compliments had turned my cheeks red, like tomato red. Ved also said excellent compliments to my food.
On different occasions I also fed the staff. Like one of the staff member's daughter had cleared an exam --a really hard one-- and the party was on me! I had said I will make food for everyone. It was tiring, but it was worth it, since I had not had any other thing to do!
I was thinking all this and making food when a shadow came behind me. I turned around to look who was there, only to be startled by Vanraj. I gasped and took a step back, but I was hit back to his chest with force as his arm circled my waist and pulled me closer.
"Careful" he said and picked me up with only one had around my waist, he whirled around, took two step ahead and let my feet touch his. I was still short to him. We had an intense eye lock, before his hand pushed my lock behind my ear. His eyes looked in mine, sometimes flickering to my lips. His knuckles grazed my cheek.
"Beautiful" he said caressing my cheek. I looked at him with parted lips. I was in a trance. My limbs, immovable. He pressed his thumb on my lips, rubbing it roughly. He started bending down. No way, I was not ready........yet....
I was about to say it, when Ved's voice startled us.
I pushed him back and taken by surprise, he was pushed back. I turned around and greeted ved in a very enthusisatic voice.
"Hi Ved" I said and I heard a hiss from behind me. I turned back only to find Vanraj's hand burnt.
"Oh my god" I squealed and went to him. Ah no! I did not intend to do this.
"It's alright, nothing happened!" He pacified me, but I was frantic.
"No, let... let me bring first aid, I... I am so sorry I did not meant"
"Hey" He cut me off between my rambling. His hand on my cheek. " Its's okay, I am okay. Let's go to study, so you can treat me" He said. Not able to understand what he was implying, I nodded, and grabbing his hand, I dragged him to his studies. I told Mari to take Ved away from kitchen. Its harmful there.
He followed. I bought the first aid and knelt before him. I applied the cream and put a bandage on his burn. Regret filled my heart. I should not have pushed him this hard.
"I am sorry, I did not meant to.."
"It's alright I said" he said. He looked at me with his tender eyes. I found myself melting in them. Why was I being poetic?
"I.. I should leave then!" I said and hastily picked up the box and went toward the door. I was about to open the door when a hand came on my waist from back, and my back touched his sturdy front.
"Where are you going" He whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes. I need to get out of here.
"To my... to my room" I answered. He nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled. He has no shame. But so do I! oh no!
"I... Leave me please" I said, he hummed but kept nuzzling in my crook. "Vanraj" I called his name. He stilled. He looked up right in my eyes. My neck was gonna get strained.
"What did you call me?" His dark and heavy voice vibrated his chest. He turned me around and looked at me intensely. "Say it again!"
"V.. Vanraj" I called him. And then I realized. "oh! I am sorry, I should not have called you by your name, I'll..." I was cut off when something soft crashed on my lips. I stilled, my body became numb.
I stayed still for a few moment, his lips did not moved. I came back to my senses when he sucked on my lower lips. I never knew what it felt liked to be kissed. But damn! It feels good. He continued to suck on my lips, but I did not moved yet. I did not know what to do. His tongue swiped my lip before he went back to sucking again.
He left my lips with a loud pop.
"Kiss me back" He said, softly.
"I...I don't know how to?" I said, he smiled.
"Don't worry, even I don't know, but we can teach each other." He said and dived in again. This time, I also kissed him back with equal passion. He lifted me up and went to his table, all the while kissing me. He put me on his table and unbuttoned his first three buttons, before lifting my hand and guiding it to his chest.
We kissed and kissed and kissed. And finally when we were out of breath he let me go. I was taking large gulp of air, but so was he. But even in between his breathes he continously pecked my lips. His hand slipped inside my shirt but I stopped him.
"No... not now!" Yet! I wanted to add, but I did not want to upset him! He smiled at me, and kissed my forehead. He took a step back and let me adjust my clothes and hairs. And before I could say something else, he hugged me.
"I can't keep my hands off you now" He said lifting me up in his arms. I smiled. "Me too" I said and pursed my lips to stop smiling.
When did I started liking him this much?
He looked at my face and then at my lips. He pecked my lips again and again. I laughed and playfully hit him on his arm.
"What... what now?" I asked.
"Hmm" He hummed. "Let me think? I think you took my first kiss so you need to take the responsibility now." He said, and I smiled.
"You too." I said, rubbing my nose on his. "But I don't want to tell anyone about us right now" I said and his smile vanished.
"Why?" He asked. I hesitated. I know it is stupid, but it is what it is!
"I.. I you are from totally different world, and you are so rich, I just let's not tell, until we are sure."
"I am the sure one here, you however, does not look so sure." He said, his tone unhappy.
"I am, but understand me first, I.. just give me some time" I said, he still scowled. "Please" I added hoping it will affect him. He gave a long sigh, before he kissed me again.
He is very horny.
"Fine! as long as I get to kiss you daily, as many times as I want!" He said and I laughed.
