Trust and friendship

Vaidehi never felt this insulted in her entire life. She never thought he would think so low of her and accuse her without any proper proof.

Yes, they had their differences but, how can that arrogant Grinch just accuse her.

Vaidehi wiped her tears and ran out of the building.

"Miss. Aggarwal. Vaidehi, wait." A voice call her to stop but knowi get very well who it was she ran faster, also stumbling down.

"Vaidehi for God sake stop and listen to me once."Damien said running after her.

Vaidehi didn't stop and run toward parking lot. Suddenly, she realised that she can't go back without a drive so, she had to take a public transport.

She too a deep breath and ran toward main gate but, before she could even start running ,a hand clamped her wrist.

"Leave me hand I said!" Vaidehi didn't looked at him but struggled to break his hold.

"Vaidehi, please listen to me once.I won't disturb you after that." He said softly.

"What is their to say now!?" Vaidehi glared at him.

"Many thing, but first you need to eat something. Let go home." He said and softly pulled her toward his car and gestured her to sit.

Vaidehi glared at him but nonetheless sat down and huffed and crossed her arms around her chest and looked out.

Damien shook his head and drove toward their home.

As soon as Damien parked the car, Vaidehi got down and slammed the door with a loud bang and strode inside.

Before she could open the door, Damien held her and shook his head softly.

Vaidehi heart thudded looking at Damien expression. He looked defeated.

Yes, she was angry and hurt but seeing the look on his face she could control herself and let out a sob softly beating his chest.

"How could you do this to me, you arrogant Grinch! I hate you! I hate you! I want to kill you with my bare hand but I won't look good in black and white striped clothes! I know you hate me but ,didn't knew that you hate me this much!" Vaidehi kept of beating his chest and cried softly.

Damien let her do what she was doing, he was to confused with his feelings that he felt for Vaidehi.

He knew that they both are poles apart but, yet sometimes kept attracting him to her.

Knowing that she will faint if she cries more, Damien hand clamped Vaidehi and he pulled her toward his.

"I trust you, Vaidehi." He whispered looking at her tears streaked face.

Vaidehi hear literally stopped beating for a millisecond when she heard him say that.

Her eyes clashed with his onyx one.

She could feel his heart beat against her palm–fast just like hers.

This felt to intimate, she could practically see his soul ,when she looked into his eyes.

His eyes held mystery of its own which held marmoris of emotions.

He soul looked an avar of emotions. Distance and dying. As if he was struggling to find a way to free his soul from a heart ache.

His emotions were whelve within him.

Vaidehi didn't know when, she raised her hand and cupped his face to wipe his tears.

He let out a shuddering breath, as if it was hurting him life a burning inferno.

"Vaidehi, I swear I didn't know what happened. I really didn't mean to say any of that. I just- when I saw that file were missing and only you has the access to it, I lost my shit in anger. I really don't didn't mean to do that.I apologize." He held her hand that cup his face and looked at her pleadingly.

"I know you hate me Damien, you never like my presence,but what you did was horrible and it -it refreshed some memory that I was trying to forget." She looked down and whispered.

Listening to her, Damien flinched internally. What did he just do?

He cupped Vaidehi's face and tucked few strands of her hair.

"I never hated you Vaidehi." Instead I felt an emotion that I can't name , he said the last part to himself.

"But–" Before she could complete her sentence Damien kept his fingers on her lip.

Vaidehi inhaled sharply and her sense jumped when his musky mixed with tangy lime cologne filled her sense.

Damien realized what he was doing and quickly separated their frame.

"I –" He scratched the back of his neck and looked at Vaidehi awkwardly.

Vaidehi felt like she was still under some spell.Her skin flushed as she looked at him.

"I–I just can we start over? We will be civil and will try not to strangle each others neck. Okay? " He rubbed his neck awkwardly looked anywhere but her.

Vaidehi eye open wide at his offer. She then narrowed her eyes and looked at him.

"Who are you? Where is my boss who glares at people like an arrogant Grinch!?"

And Vaidehi is back! He chucked and shook his head.

"You want him back? Are you not afraid of him Miss Aggarwal?" He faked a glared and played along.

"Oh my chocolate God, save me Damien the demon is killing me! " She said dramatically and placed a hand near her chest.

"You are such a drama queen!"

"I know right! I have been told that by many." She said and flipped her hair sassily.

They both looked at each other and Vaidehi tucked few strands of her hair behind her ears and smile at him.

"You still didn't answered me. " He said.

"I–I will tell you if you will bake chocolate cake for me." She giggled and showed her round before running away.

"Hey this is cheating! " He said and run after her.

"Everything is fair in friendship and enmity Mr. Ryder and this is enmity ,Honey poo" She said mimicking Ashton and run toward the kitchen.

"You little stalker!" He said and run after her and tickled her.

"Okay, Okay, I lose you win." Vaidehi said and panted heavily.

"Now tell me, will you please try to be good and civil with me, Miss Vaidehi Aggarwal?"

"Yes, but I have a rule. "

"And what is it ,my little stalker?"

"Stop calling me that! So the rules are I will be your boss here in our home and you I'll cook for me! Okay? " Vaidehi held a spatula in her hand and moved it round and round before pointing it toward Damien.

"And what I will get in return? " Damien raised his eyebrow.

"This awesomeness will you company and you will be safe and we won't strangle each other!." She said pointing at herself and smiled cheekily.

"I think I liked the this deal.So, it's a yes from my side."He said and forwarded his hand for a handshake.

Vaidehi smileed showing her thirty-two white teeth and shook her hand hand with his.
