Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

Everyone is waiting for me to complete my phone call. When I hung up everyone is starting to go in their car.

"Let's go." Keerti said.

"You all go. I'll come at evening. I have to go to the work right now." I said to everyone.

"But Preeti you are on leave, right." Mummy asked me.

"Yes, mummy...but due to the festival season there is staff shortage in bank. So I have to go." I said.

"Okay, but how will you go?" Mummy asked me.

"Don't worry..I'll take auto rikshow." I said.

"No, I'll drop you." Siddharth said looking at me.

"No..no that's fine.. I can manage. " I said to him.

"There is more traffic on roads and I don't want to take a risk of your safety. So I'll drop you and that's final." He said looking give me a look 'he doesn't want further discussion on it.'

"Yes I think this is right. Siddharth will drop you and pick you after your work." Papa said.

I looked at Siddharth and then nodded my head as yes.

Siddharth open the passenger door for me of his black Audi car and hold it until I hopped inside it.

'Such a gentleman. '

He sit on the driving seat, type the location of my office in car g.p.s and starts the engine. He look more handsome when he focus on the road while driving the car. My hands are itching to touch his hand and hold in mine. I want to feel his hand again against my hands but I don't have a courage to do so I just put my hand on my lap.

"So Kshama is your friend? " He asked me.

How do he know her name and know that she is my friend.

"Sorry I saw the caller Id when you picked it up." He answered my unasked question with a soft smile.

"Yes she is my best friend. " I said with a smile.

"So you replaced kshama today?" He asked me while taking a right turn.

"Yes she is out of town, So I have to take her place." I said.

"Why don't you tell your boss that you can't come. I'm sure he will understand." He said looking at me.

I laughed humorously.

"You don't know my boss he will fire me and his girlfriend will kill me if I don't show up. He is such an arrogant and jerk. I'm sure every boss in the world is arrogant and Bossy jerk like him." I said looking back to him.

He raised up his right eyebrows in offence. I looked at him confusingly and then it hit me.

Shit! He is also a boss of his employees.

"Sorry I didn't mean all the bosses. Some are good." I said apologetically.

He chuckled and shake his head while focusing on the road and take left turn.

"Don't worry I know the feeling. I felt the same when dad used his bossy tone on me." He said with a smile.

He stopped the car in front of my office building. I didn't realize when we reached. Whenever he closed to me I don't know where time flies. I lost in his talk that I didn't realize the time.

"What was kshama asking about me?" He said suddenly.

I spun my head to him and looked at him shockingly.

'How did he know?'

He chuckled and said, "You were blushing when you were talking to her."

I felt warmth again on my cheeks and I know I am blushing right now. He knows I into turned when it comes to him. I lowered my head try to hide my blush.

"So tell me what she wants to know?" He asked amusingly.

"No, noth...nothing..imp..important." I stammered and looked into his amusing filled eyes.

"Preeti..Tell me in a simple way or I have other ways." he smirked.

"She wants to know about progress in our relationship." I said again looking down at my lap.

A strand of hair fell on my face because I bent my head down.

I feel his presence and body warmth near me. I didn't look up but I can feel him near me. He tuck a hair strand behind my ear.

"Preeti I don't know what we progressed in our relationship. But I want to take everything slow. I want to know you more and better that I can read your heart beats. I want to know what you are feeling right now. I want to know what your beautiful eyes speaking when they looked at me with so much emotions. I want to know about every happy and bad days of your life. I want to know you more than you." He whispered the last part.

He put his hand on my chin and lifted my chin up, making me look at him. I slowly lifted the curtain of my long lashes and looked into his deep coffee brown eyes.

"I know your feelings Preeti and trust me I feel the same. The feeling are mutual from both the sides. I really like to spend time with you, talk to you either you alone or not. I love the look in your eyes when every time you looked at me with these most beautiful brown eyes." He traced his fingers at the corner of my eyes and I closed them, leaning to his touch.

"I love the blushed pink colour on your cheeks." He whispered and leaned and kissed me on my right cheek.

"I love when they turned red whenever I get close to you." He turn to my left side and kissed me on my left cheek.

I slowly half opened my eyes and looked at his intense one.

He stopped in front of my lips and leaned more. I can feel his hot breath on my lips and I got goosebumps all over my body. I felt summer salt in my stomach and the my heat is beating with its highest pace. Many butterflies are dancing, spark is flowing through all over my body. I closed my eyes again in anticipation.

"Preeti..." he said in his husky voice.

Every time my name rolled on his tongue beautifully, It done something different to me.

"Open your eyes." He whispered again underneath his breath in his husky voice.

I opened my eyes slowly and looked into his intense and deep eyes. They shows the love for me.

We both look into each other's eyes for a while until a car honk break our gaze and I turn my head to collect my self. Siddharth also sit straight in his seat.

"I think I should go." I said while wiping my sweat on my forehead. 
I turn and about to open the door.
