464 Under maintainance

Vikram asked getting all irritated.

"I am just telling you about my boundaries Vikram. For you, I am ready to take a bullet. But this? This is totally unacceptable."

"But Akira, this is my only way to get into Walker Enterprises. And without your help, it's not possible."

"What has gotten into you Vikram? I always thought of you as the righteous one. The one who always inspired me. I always wanted to be successful as you because I thought the pillars of your success are built on the foundation of honesty. But today I am not even sure."

"Akira stop it."

"No, you stop it Vikram. You are getting on my nerves now. After all that had happened, I figured we can start fresh on a clean slate. But looks like your ways were never going to change."

"What are you trying to insinuate here Akira?"

"What I am trying to tell you right now is that I am done being your puppet Vikram. Done with your wicked moves and your lies and your dramas. I am just done."

"Careful Akira !!! Don't walk. I think the pain has gotten into your head."

"Huh... seriously? You will seriously push it all like that. Unbelievable."

Saying that Akira stormed out in pain.

Unable to believe that the whole episode was happening with him, Vikram held her hand back and said,

"Forget my deal with Walker Enterprises. Let's just let it go. You are far more important to me. Let's just forget this conversation happened. Let's go back home. Ok?"

Saying that Vikram tried to pull her close, but in the very next instant, he felt someone's hand gripping his arm.

"I guess you know that she is injured. Pulling her like this isn't the right thing to do."

"Gosh, what now doctor? Haven't you meddled enough? Can you let our personal matter be our personal matter?"

Saying that Vikram gave out a disgusting look to Dr. Nelson who was blocking him.

"Let me go Vikram. I need to use the washroom."

But Vikram didn't loosen up his grip even by a millimeter. Seeing that Dr. Nelson said,

"I am a nobody to interfere in your personal matter but I think it's better that you let the lady go. Don't try to create a scene here. Might have a bad impact on your so-called reputation you know."

Getting all annoyed, Vikram let go of her hand, but he turned his intense gaze towards Dr. Nelson and asked,

"Who the hell are you?"

"A doctor who is simply concerned about his patient."

Saying that he turned back and looked in the direction of Akira who was rushing towards the washroom.

-----

Her heart was beating fast as she rushed towards the washroom.

She went near the women's room and looked around, but he was nowhere to be found. She thought of getting inside the washroom but she saw the sign - "Under Maintainance" and refrained from getting inside.

Getting all upset she picked up her phone to give him a call. But before she could dial his number, she got another text message.

"Turn around."

And without even wasting a second she turned back.

He was there.

Standing all tall in front of her. His face hidden under the shadow of an oversized hat, but still, she knew it was him. His silhouette was enough for her to know that it was him.

She smiled looking at him and said,

"Where were you all this time?"

And saying that she tried to come close to him.

Before she could even take a step further, he came forward and with one swift move with his right hand and wrapped it like a climber around her waist.

"Let's ease out that pain of yours."

Saying that he lifted her in his arms and then went inside the women's washroom.

"Hey, hey ..... It's under maintenance."

He laughed under his breath because he had already made sure with the help of his signboard that no one was inside the washroom.

"That's the whole point."

He said and marched inside.

After entering the washroom, he placed her on top of the sink-slab carefully and then knelt down.

"What are you doing?"

He silently removed the strap of her heels and held her injured ankle in his hands with the utmost care.

"Ah, so the doctor ratted on me."

Raymond laughed hearing her accusatory tone and said,

"Well, he is an honest man. Couldn't lie even a bit to me," and saying that he softly placed his lips on her ankle and he mumbled,

"I am sorry."

"But why do I sense that you are hiding something from me, Raymond?"

"What are you saying?"

She bent down and held his face in between her palms and said,

"Look, if any part of you doesn't want this, if any part of you wants to just live the way we are right now, then just say the word. I will walk away right now."

"You are not walking away anywhere without me. Do you understand that? There is no I anymore. It's just us Akira. Just us."

Saying that he got up and immersed his lips with hers.

His kiss was urgent, hungry and deep one, rendering her all moist and as he detached from her, he could see her chest rising in harmony along with the paced beats of her heart.

It took her a moment to gather herself and when she did, she looked at him and said,

"That was rushed."

"Well, you can't expect a man to keep calm when you wear a dress like this."
