A Contractual Love 53
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

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

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
A Contractual Love 59
Kian's POV:I laid quietly beside her, devouring her beauty. Her skin was translucent. Hair spreading messily across her face. She turned her face to me lazily. Her neck went on full display for me. Veins peeking through her golden skin. “Irene,” I called out her name, before my emotions could take over anything. Ofcourse, she didn't even move a bit. I repeated the action, but this time my hand came on her shoulder to shake her a bit.Her eyes opened a bit, but still they were squinted, not ready to wake up.“I waited all night for you,”she said in a hoarse voice.My hand rested under my head, leaving all support over my elbow. “Why?” My thumb started brushing over her cheeks.“Wanted to check on you.”“Nice way to check on someone.” I joked, causing her to release a chuckle.She released and brushed her hand over her face to remove the straight hair. She looked beautiful. More beautiful than the morning sunshine.“How do you feel now?”The question hung in the air for a minute or

Kian’s POV:“I don't think this will get along with the vocals,” I hummed with the melody.“But the main track is still addicting, Sir,” said my programme manager ,who was unnecessarily excited. She was a newbie. And considering the fact that I didn't have much choice. I had to bear it. “Still, we need to take care of vocals. Without it, the song is all wasted.”I tapped the papers in front of me with the pen.“Also, I want to finalise this song today. So please, all of you pay attention.” I said, to the bunch of people in front of me. Working on their laptops. “I am almost done with the lyrics. The composition is ready. But you guys are still too lazy for the promotional programme. I haven't got a single outcome on that matter.” Everyone nodded and I didn't care to think how I looked in front of them.My phone rang and it was her. I picked it up, without a second thought and walked towards the corner.“Hey,” she sounded nervous.“How are you? Everything’s fine?” I questioned out
