All Chapters of FIRE & ICE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ANUSHKA'S POV I let my legs carry me as I walked out the guest house through the back door..I couldn't be around there any longer ,not after what just happened between me and my boss..My body was still feeling all weird..The sensations ,goosebumps everywhere and butterflies in my stomach ,it was like my body was on fire but in a very soothing way but---but I couldn't focus on that anymore because my heart was hurting ..I couldn't understand why McKenzie keep doing this to me or rather why I kept doing this to myself ..I couldn't lie ,everything felt so amazing and for the first time in my life, It didn't feel like I was doing something wrong by literally allowing someone to touch me like that..Of course when I first landed in her arms I thought she was going to push me away but I was surprised when she didn't instead she just pulled me even closer to her..For once she didn't have that look she always had on her face when she looked at me.. Even though

ANUSHKA'S POV It has been a week since I've last seen McKenzie..She had not been coming to the bank ever since the wedding and I've heard that she wasn't in town either..Sammy and Mr Pratab were the ones taking care of everything that had required Danelle herself but I had to put some of them on hold for until she was back..As much as I would have loved to disagree but truth was that this was the worst week of my life..How ironic was that ?It should have been the best week of my life since I've started working there ,but it was not..Every time this week when I stepped inside those glassy walls of D&M, it felt like something was missing and the loneliness that came with that was something I had never felt before..Even after my mother passed away I had never felt so lonely maybe that was because I still had my father and brothers with me but even they couldn't help the mood I was in this past days ..Sammy tried to cheer me up by taking me out last We

ANUSHKA'S POV To say that I was shocked would be an understatement..Danelle McKenzie offering to give me a ride home ? I really didn't see that coming..I thought that I was dreaming or something but when she kept on insisting and even threatening to carry me ,I had to believe it..Though I was more shocked than anything ,I could still feel my heart pounding crazily in my chest..For the fact that she was so close to me and that her hand was resting on the small of my back with the intention of balancing me wasn't helping me at all..For God's sake , McKenzie had her hand on my body ,so how could I've acted normal ,it wasn't possible..I forced myself to ignore the tingles on my skin where her hand was and I focused on the pain that was on foot instead..Not a good idea either but I had to if I didn't want to start feeling all those weird feelings that my body experiences every time McKenzie was too close to me..Soon ,we finally reached her car and she sto

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 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
