----------------------------------------------------

It was weekend, and Rithika called Vaidehi to come and spend some time with her,to which Vaidehi happily agreed.

Vaidehi informed Damien that she will go to her best friend's house for two day and will be back by Sunday evening.

.

.

Rithika welcomed her by crying and hugging her dramatically as soon as she entered their house. Harsh rolled his eyes and whispered 'mood swings' which, unfortunately, was heard by Ritika.

She glared at him and broke the hug. She rolled her sleeves and charged toward. Seeing her come , he let out a shriek like a little kid before running away, with a not so heavily pregnant Rithika running on tow.

Vaidehi looked at them in amusement and Aarav looked at them in confusion.

He turned and looked at Vaidehi and asked with a cute frown, " Maachi(aunty:-maasi)why mamma and papa alre rlunning like Tom alnd jerry?

"Oh, they are running because your papa has forgotten that your mumma has turned into a fire breathing dragon." Vaidehi sat down to match Aarav's height.

Aarav nodded and gave a big toothy grin to Vaidehi before running towards his room.

Vaidehi sighed and got up to see if -her fire breath best friend had chopped her husband into pieces or not.

.

.

Vaidehi sat with Rithika in her room after calling her family. The time since Vaidehi entered , Rithika didn't leave a single chance to tease Vaidehi.

"Soooo?"She looked at Vaidehi as opened a packet of chips.

"Soooo what?" Vaidehi looked at her with a blank.

"What's going on?" Rithika asked and stuffed her face with chips.

Vaidehi rolled her eyes and sighed."I don't what are you trying to say here!Be more clear with words please?" She narrowed her eyes and glared at Rithika, who sniggered in return.

"I am talking about you anddddd–"She paused for dramatic affect and looked at Vaidehi with a mischievous smile. "Damien the arrogant grinch–as you like to call him."

Rithika eyes twinkled with and she teasing nudged Vaidehi.

"What? Are you crazy? Wait your were already crazy but now you totally lost your brain!" She said and made a face and tried hard to hide her not show any kind of sign that will help Rithika to tease here more, but her poor luck–her face flushed at the though of him.

"Wowwwww. Nice.I can totally see your answer. It's written all over your face that you like him." Rithika said and rolled her eyes before munching some chips.

"What?" Vaidehi voice sounded shrill as she glared at Rithika who was busy stuffing her face with chips as if it was the last packet of chip in the entire world.

"I–I DON'T LIKE HIM! OKAY? I.DON'T.LIKE.HIM!" She glared and snatched the packet from and stuffed a handful of chips in mouth before chewing it aggressively.

Rithika huffed as she looked at the packet of chip with longing ,"Deny as much as you want but you do like him."

"I don't! I have a cr–crush may be." She looked down as her face flushed pink.

"At least you accepted that. " Rithika rolled her eyes and she tried to snatch the packet of chip from Vaidehi's hands.

"Still, there's a huge difference between crush and liking. " She smirk and munched on the chip, but her face still flushed pink.

"Oh in no time it will change from crush to linking and may be than to love?" She said and shrugged but a teasing smirk plastered on her face.

"You annoying little rabbit, stop teasing me!" She stomped her foot before walking away.

The next day evening, Vaidehi came from Rithika's house and entered inside the house and changed her clothes to her fathers oversize shirts knowing that Damien won't be home now.

She went to the kitchen and found cake.

Her eyes twinkled as she placed the cake on the table.

She plugged in music, and"I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift" blasted in the background.

(Once upon a time

A few mistakes ago

I was in your sights

You got me alone)

She danced and sang around the kitchen out loudly wearing her dad's oversize t-shirt that she stole not so graciously.

(You found me

You found me

You found me

I guess you didn't care)

She sang out loud with a spatula in her hand, waving it . She ,than held on the counter and imaging the spatula as her mic , she sang out loud.

(And he's long gone

When he's next to me

And I realize

The blame is on me )

She jumped on the table and held the spatuala as her imaginary guitar and strummed it anware of the fact that Damien was standing and leaning near the door watching her with amusement.

('Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til you put me down, oh)

She sang and danced as if she was performing in Grammy. Unwared of the trouble that is standing behind her.

"Well, well, what do we have here? " he said with a smirk and slowly walked near her.

Vaidehi shrieked, and almost fell down from the table hearing his voice. Her eyes wide and face flushed with embarrassment.

"Well that was sure a Grammy worthy performance!"His smirk widened seeing her red face.

"Wh–what are you doing here?" Vaidehi stammered and tugged the end of her t-shirt to cover her bare legs.

Damien eye ranked her from top to bottom and that made her glare at him.

"Eye up here buddy!" She said narrowing her eyes.

"Well, well, I didn't knew that I was living with a rockstar." He smirk as he saw her face flush.

Vaidehi's eye widen as she saw Damien talking predator step toward her.

She tried to back away but he was quick enough to reach her in no time.

He walked near her, spanked her back lightly and said. " nice piece of performance" and walked away. Leaving a very, very, very embarrassed Vaidehi.

Wow, what just happened?

Did he–did he just spanked?

Oh chocolate lord!

Is this their new blooming friendship?

Oh, why do I smell too much sexual tension then? Her subconscious mind said munching an apple.

Ugghhhhh! She stomped her foot and walked toward her room.

.

.

.

.

That night, Vaidehi stood up and walked toward Damien's room and woke him up.

"For God sake why do you want me to cook in the middle of the night!?"

"Shut up and help me with it! "

Damien grumbled about her being bossy but got up and walked toward the kitchen with Vaidehi in tow.

"So what are we cooking today? " She said in excitement and drummed her finger on the gas table.

"My brain." He said sarcastically.

"Oh, you are funny, but I think I would pass." She said with a fake smile.

"Stop blabbering and help me boil this noodle." He said and threw some packet of noodles in Vaidehi hands.

.

.

.

.

A few moments later.

Their kitchen looked as if a storm had hit there.

Broken eggs, and batter was all around the kitchen.

Vaidehi looked down and stood in the corner.

"VAIDEHI!"Damien glared.

Oh Boi!

Vaidehi shrieked and ran near the table to hide under it, as she saw Damien coming toward her.

"I didn't do any think! Please don't kill me." She voice was shrill as her said hiding inside the table.

"Come out Vaidehi!" Damien glared at her but Vaidehi shook her head.

"You will boil me like noodle if I come out. So I m not coming." Vaidehi said an shook her head like a kid.

" I am going to step away and you will come out like a good girl,okay?" He said and took few step away to make some space.

Vaidehi pouted to herself but than suddenly,her eyes fell on something near her and she smile evilly.

"Damien?" She called him sweetly.

And as soon as he turned his head to look at her, his face was attacked with batter of cake.

"What the–" Before he could react , Vaidehi quickly got out and threw an egg on him.

And soon kitchen became war field with two opponents throwing things on each other.

Vaidehi's eyes fell on the counter top or to be precised on the bottle of ketchup.

She quick ran to grab it but a hand snaked her waise from behind and pulled her with force.

She collided against Damien chest and she glared at him.

He smirked and emptied the left over cake batter on her head. Vaidehi struggled but he pulled her closer as his laughter bloom around.

Vaidehi pause for second as she heard him laugh freely for the first time. She blinked tried to look at him face as the cake batted dripped near her eyes.

He looked carefree and young at that moment.

Damien stopped and looked at Vaidehi.

Unconsciously , he wiped the batter from her eyes.

"You should smile more often. You look good while smiling." Vaidehi whispered ,still lost in abyss of his onyx eyes.

Both were lost in each other that they didn't realised when their face came close to each other.

Vaidehi could feel her heart beat fasten as Damien held her closed and cupped her face. She could feel his nearness. Their breathing became slower and weighty.

She closed her eyes as her sense was filled with sell of him–his spicy, musk cologne, despite being covered in food from head to toe.

"Vaidehi." His voice sounded huskier than before.

She held her breath as his hand cupped her face delicately.

Is he going to kiss her?

Her subconscious mind blew red already horn but, she ignored it as if she was under some kind of spell.

Their face came close to each other. She could feel his warm breath fanning her face.

But as his lip was about to touch her , a loud sound of ringtone broke the smell.

They pushed each other as if it was fire.

Vaidehi tucked few strand of her hair and looked down in awkwardness.

Her slower than sloth brain was to slow to process of of this. And by the time it did, she eye went wide.

Oh , didn't she just had an almost kiss with her boss!?

What the fudge!?

This is messed up. She still as she saw the blank look on Damien face.

This is not going to end well.
