A Contractual Love 51
Irene’s POV:I felt it, the uneasiness in his body. How tense it was. It must be hard for him. That’s why I suggested, him to rest. “What are you doing?” I was still in his arms. His eyes wandered to the kitchen. “I was making something for the picnic, remember?” “Hmm,” he hummed, recklessly looking straight in my eyes.“Are you still down for it?”I asked sheepishly.“Still? You think I was,” he smirked mischievously. I just giggled in response. I was still in my dress that I wore in the morning. This dress had some memories. And wearing it made me realise how time has changed.“You came early?” he asked as he followed me in the kitchen. My hair was tied in a bun. I readjusted it to avoid it coming in front of my face. “I just skipped the classes,” I started beating the cake batter. Noah was making cheese sandwiches.“Just for the picnic?” he said, standing against the counter beside me.“Yes for the picnic, with you,” the end of the sentence was like a whisper. But I made sure t

Kian’s POV:“I am sorry.”Well, I had given myself a full lecture on reasons why I should be sorry and there was nothing wrong in saying it. I practised several times in front of the mirror.Still in the morning I felt so much change of the mind. Then again, her voice echoed in my ear and Damn, she had done some spell on me.“Uhh- yeah, I mean - it’s okay.” I stuttered.It all went wasted, because he was the one to apologise first and I lost the chance to at least say ‘I am sorry too’ in return. For some pretty strange reason he was so enthusiastic. And he was smiling like a madman.“Let's have a chat.” he said, standing beside the chair, in front of my table in my office. I had found him, standing there when I entered. I walked silently to the chair he sat opposite to me.“I am sorry, I may look so awkward,” he smiled nervously.Well he did look awkward most of the time, especially today.“Are you drunk?” I guessed.“No!! I am pretty sober.” I hummed.“I just figured out something

Irene’s POV:“Can you add a bit more- umm, salad dressing. I think he likes it like that.”“Sure Ma’am,” Noah smiled and nodded at the same time. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I had spent a good hour and a half deciding what to cook. In the end, I chose steak. Well, it was the first thing we ate together on our first date, actually a fake date. But, still I thought It would be good. Noah helped me a lot and I was very thankful to him. And now we were setting the table. It was almost done. I did dress up a bit. Or maybe a little bit more in a purple coloured silk dress with full sleeves, long enough to touch my knees. Looking at myself in the wall mirror, that was actually a mirror painting I untied my hair that was previously styled in a bun. My silver earring shook due to being hit by my strands of hair. I slid my fingers in my hair to make them look smooth. Tucking my lower lip under my teeth, I adjusted my dress that was already perfectly fine.“You should call him
A Contractual Love 54
Irene's POV:This was not good. In this state, it was difficult for me to talk to him about something sensible and so important. He looked at me from head to toe. And I knew that look.“Sorry, I snuck out in a hurry and I didn’t have time to change,” I said in a sheepish tone.“Can I know the reason behind this?” his eyes were droopy and I feared that he might fall asleep. I sat on the couch beside him, I pushed my hand in the pocket of my robe. I was so busy finding out the piece of paper I had put in it. I looked at him, and my eyes followed his gaze. He was looking at my bare leg. That was uncovered due to sliding of the robe to the side when I sat down. I quickly covered it. I felt a strange discomfort in the environment. I gave a deep sigh, and pushed my thoughts aside to focus on what I came here to do. Luckily, I found what I was searching for. “Here read this,” I gave him the piece of paper that was folded several times. He held it, and with a disgusted expression he star
A Contractual Love 55
Irene’s POV:Everything was annoying. Maybe I was having just a bad day. Or perhaps it were his words that made me feel like this.I was working in the hospital during my clinical hours. Holding a file in my hand, I rolled my eyes at the memory of his words. I shrugged my head for the thousandth time this day, to clear my mind of what he said this morning. “Is everything alright?” I heard a masculine voice. The file in my hand was masking his view. He was in his twenties. Had some minor fractures. And it would be no exaggeration if I said that he was pretty handsome. His features were soft.“Yeah.” I stuttered a bit.“Alcohol is out of your system. And your injuries are better too.” I explained to him. Sliding out the steth that was around my neck. I bent a little examine his chest.“Just breathe a little deeper.” I said in a low voice.He was good. No wheezing or any troubled breathing.I hung the steth around my neck again and started writing all my observations on his form.He wa

Kian’s POV:I had just started working on the initial beat. I was humming with the beat. My eyebrows pinched at a disturbed rhythm and I paused it right away. I slowed down the beat, adding the bass with it. My eyes were closed. My focus was fully on the music I was working on. It kind of went well. I opened my eyes and tapped on my I-Pad, to save and work on its progress. I saw Raven entering my office. I was in my studio, I saw him through the glass wall. He had a file in his hand. He threw the file on the table, and his hand rubbed his face. I kind of had an idea what this was about. He turned to me. His features were exhausted and a very weak smile appeared on his face. I stretched my legs, to drift back the chair and stood up. Coming out of the studio. I made a swift walk towards my chair. I looked at the file silently for a while and sat.“More?” I almost whispered.“more,” he nodded. “Resignations,” he said under his breath. It was almost inaudible.The silence prevailed agai
A Contractual Love 57
Irene POV:Several weeks had passed since Kian became so busy. Also, my university was keeping me busy. Somedays, I would just sleep without even seeing him. Other days, I was lucky to have a little chat with him if he arrives before my bedtime. That day, I cleaned up his studio. I had put that paper in the drawer of his desk. In the morning, I found it nowhere, confirming that he had found it. I was relieved that finally he had started working. He was so immersed in his work. It was very admirable to see how devoted he was, even though sometimes I just felt so lonely. It made me feel pity on myself. How the hell, I ended up being this dependent on him. I have other acquaintances too, but something about him was just irreplaceable. So, it was a weekend. And finally, I had found time to go shopping to buy some stuff for him. I bought some good luck wish cards. Some cheesy motivational quotes written on them. I giggled at the imagination of him reading these. I was never into cute s
A Contractual Love 58
Kian's POV:My knuckles turned white as I gripped the bathroom’s door knob. A slight creaking sound of the door, created another wave of excited nerve to pass through my brain. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. This was it, my eyes were swollen. After a very long time, I had a migraine. It has stopped because of her, and she was the reason for it to happen again. I lifted my head to look into the drawers and I hissed in pain once again. I took the pain killer and swallowed it immediately. I made my way out of the bathroom and almost fell on the mattress.This was what I got, by controlling my anger only for her. She was so stubborn. She didn't even know, she was causing trouble. Or was it me expecting too much from her? Maybe I interpreted her wrong. Maybe, she was not that different from other girls. It was very reckless of her to ignore my concern. Or perhaps, it was my misunderstanding that I was expecting her to understand my behaviour towards her. Or maybe, she knew that
