ANUSHKA'S POV I couldn't believe it..She texted me back She really did! "Oh God! McKenzie texted me back" I chirped excitedly almost jumping out of my seat and forgetting that my foot was actually injuredWhen I had decided to text Danelle earlier ,I was almost hundred percent sure that she wouldn't even bother to open my message..But now that she actually replied back to me ,I couldn't help the happiness and warmness that swelled deep in my heart even though I was actually feeling quite the opposite before I received that text for McKenzie..I didn't know why such a little thing had made me so happy..It was not like McKenzie had started to acknowledge me all of the sudden but still, it made me ridiculously happy that she didn't actually choose to ignore my text..I still couldn't believe that McKenzie left her work just to take care of me and made sure I reached home safely..Though I might have been reading too much to the situation and as desp
DANELLE'S POV Once I got inside the elevator after I instructed Anushka on what to do ,I pressed on the floor that took me to Sammy's office..I was going to get him since we were supposed to have lunch today..It had been so long since we talked ,I mean literally sit down and talk about life..It was actually starting to get me worried on how drifted apart we have been lately..Things were never the same after we fought that day at Vijay's wedding..Neither of us talked about what happened but I could sense the tension between us whenever we got to be around each other..We never stayed together for more than fifteen minutes because he always found an excuse to leave..He was trying to avoid me all the time ,I wasn't stupid I could see that and it was starting to piss me off to be honest...Yes ,I loved him,he was my best friend after all but what he was doing was not fair..It wasn't my fault that he was so uptight and he actually got mad because of that..I
DANELLE'S POV It was Friday morning and I was already parked outside Kashmiri waiting for Anushka to come down ,so we could start heading to Orleans since the meeting was to be held today at ten o'clock..It has been over ten minutes since I arrived and Anushka hasn't come down yet..God ,only if she knew how I hate people that were unpunctual..Time is money ,and every second counts..I was slowly getting frustrated and I wasn't really the nicest person when I was frustrated..And after my talk with Sammy the other day, I've been trying my best to be nice but of course I was unsuccessful every time and right now Anushka was really testing my patience..I have had enough ,I was about to climbed off my car and go up there to drag her pretty ass down when I saw her coming out her house , hurriedly hopped down the steel stairs and soon she was out the gate coming towards my car..My anger seemed to dissipate suddenly as my eyes subconsciously traveled down her b
ANUSHKA'S POV To say that I was happy would be an understatement ,I was literally freaking out with happiness..I couldn't believe what was happening..I had to discreetly pinch myself a couple of times just to make sure if everything was a dream or not..Danelle McKenzie was being nothing but nice to me and I couldn't believe it no matter how much I pinched myself and actually felt pain which proved that I wasn't in my dreamland..It was unbelievable because things like that only happened in my dreams..McKenzie would smile and laugh with me ,the warms hugs, kisses and long conversations.. Those were just my fantasies and I knew very well that they would never come true...like ever...And hopefully I make peace with that soon.."Is it just me or you stare at everyone like that ?" McKenzie said suddenly making me jump slightly on my seat..God, I didn't even realize that I was staring at Danelle like a creep this whole time I didn't say anything as I blus
ANUSHKA'S POVThe forest wasn't that compressed and I really thanked the heavens for that..McKenzie was keeping me close as we hobbled our way to the cabin that she was talking about..Everywhere was slippery and the slope was somewhat very steep ,so we had to take careful steps all the way through..The storm was still raving hard on us and Danelle's clothes were dripping wet by now and I felt so bad for having to wear her coat while she got drained..She was definitely going to catch a cold because of me and that was really bothering me..I really didn't know why the thought of McKenzie getting sick ,or getting hurt in any way devastated me so much..Which brings me to the way I acted back in the car..I knew it wasn't my place to be worried sick like that ,I was just an employee to her for God's sake and I definitely didn't mean anything to her but I just couldn't help the fear that swelled in my heart when I looked around our surroundings and the storm was
DANELLE'S POV I usually never got cold easily ,even when I was still a kid..I had a high tolerance of coldness and winter was my favourite season of the year actually..The temperatures here in summer were insane and I wasn't really a big fan of sweaty body and all that summer stuff..Shit actually made my skin scrawl..But right now ,standing fucking shirtless outside that cabin like I was freaking Arnold Schwarzenegger or something ,the storm still heavy like it was never intending to stop any time soon ;I needed that fucking heat..Anushka was taking fucking eternity to change into such simple shirt and joggers but I knew better than to just get back inside there ;the woman almost made me rip those wet clothes of off her sexy body and do very very bad thing to her just minutes ago but I controlled myself.. That was the reason why I actually wanted to go outside ,after that one simple yet sexy moan that came out Anushka's mouth, Danelle Jr went crazy in
DANELLE'S POV I was about to stand up from that small couche when Anushka placed her soft hand on my shoulder stopping me from moving..I gently rose my head to look at her and Jesus freaking Christ ,I really didn't know that butterflies could spread in one's stomach just by looking at somebody's smile..This was insane ,I tell you.."I'll sit " Anushka mumbled softly looking everywhere but me..I really wanted to reach to her face to remove that lock of hair that was hiding that beautiful face from me but she beat me to it ,gently tagging it behind her ear while softly nibbling on her lower lip..Only if she knew what that does to me when she does that ,she wouldn't be carelessly doing it right now"Its okay ,you don't have to"No,that was more like 'please' but I had to sugarcoat it ,couldn't sound desperate"No I want to....I mea- "She whispered quietly,even though it was bit dim in the room but I couldn't see the deep shades of pink on her cheeks..Sh
ANUSHKA'S POV Soon it was morning .. The bright Saturday morning!I was woken up by a bright light hitting my face and I groaned frustratingly shutting my eyelids even tighter..I extended my hand to my face to rub them until I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the light and immediately a bright smile curved on my lips..I quickly tossed to the other side but my smile vanished cruelly off my face when I saw that Danelle wasn't next to me..I sat up on the bed frantically scanning around the small squared room but she was no where to be found..But what was I expecting anyway ,it wasn't like McKenzie and I were together or anything ;we were just caught up in a moment which would probably never happen again..But just thinking about what happened between us last night was good enough to dissolve any hit of sadness that engulfed me seconds ago..Heat rose up to my face and because I was kind of alone ,a sweet giggle found it's way out my mouth as I tou
