Obsessive Flames of Love

28th November, 06:00 AM

Inside the stunning hall, painted in beige with wooden floor, enclosed with rooftop glasses with a turquoise water beach view, the rising and falling waves were breathtakingly beautiful.

With the bright illuminations from the sun stroking Rudra’s handsome face, his features turned more captivating by highlighting his tall figure, well-built body, and a relaxed, carefree smile settled on his face.

Slowly he leaned on the couch while unbuttoning his grey suit and racked his hair. The messy look made him more enticing, and his amber eyes rolled onto Tanvi’s thin figure as she playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

His eyes sparkled in the presence of her. With his one glance, anyone can be mesmerized as he appeared as a greek god. A chuckle escaped his inviting lips, and his velvety voice is like a lullaby to her ears.

Her deep black eyes glued onto him as if he were the most precious one to her in the entire world. Gaped her mouth, she was in awe with his charms and perfectionism. His sharp nose, chiseled jawline, hairstyle, and stubble, everything were apt to him as they were specifically made for him.

Looking at her ogled state, he smirked. In a few long strides, he stood beside her in a flash and inclined onto her. Inhaling her fragrance while his warm breath fell onto her neck made her heartbeat fasten up.

Raised her head, their eyes met, and she gulped as the desire in her kicked in, “what’re you doing?” She muttered.

“Shh!” He placed his index finger onto her quivering rosy lips. With mere inches apart, his long hands held her waist and drew her closer to him.

Her palms rested on his pounding heart, and the intensifying stares were like unveiling each other with clothes. Their breaths hitched in anticipation as they felt the world had stopped working.

His hand entwined with hers, his lips brushed on her rosy lips, and she closed her eyes while savoring the moment. Tanvi stood on her tiptoes and nudged his nose tenderly with hers, and they both giggled.

Crimson red flushed on her cheeks as she covered her face with her palms. Rudra pulled her into his embrace, and she wrapped herself coyishly in his arms as the wave of relaxation washed upon her.

Inhaling his cologne, the masculine vibes, and the comfort and warmth she’s having with him were immeasurable. The sense of belonging made her heart jump in joy as she suddenly felt that her world turned beautiful.

Rolling across the bed while hugging her pillow tightly, the creaking sound from the wooden stand echoed in the silent room. Not wanting to open her eyes, she’s striving to relish his affection as much as possible, but the noise annoyed her.

Reluctantly her hand searched for her mobile while her eyes were still closed. Unable to grab it, she humphed and opened her eyes,

shut the alarm off, but Rudra disappeared in front of her.

Her eyes rummaged around the room, and there was no trace of him. “Where did he go?” She mumbled while scratching her head. Realization dawned on her, “it’s all a dream?” She questioned herself with scrunched brows as a pang of disappointment hit her.

Shook her head in disbelief, “did I dream about, Rudra?” A scream escaped her lips as her eyes widened. She covered her gaped mouth in shock, “Why do I have a dream about him? Did I miss him?” She speculated while brushing her lips as she felt his lips on hers.

A smile plastered on his face. “I longed you, Rudra.” Her eyes landed on the hanging calendar. “How’re you doing? A week passed, and you didn’t check on me?”

Biting her lips with knitted brows, “Why didn’t you come for me after that day? Did you back off with my behavior?”

“Damn it! I want him, and I’m not accepting him. Ahh, am I becoming crazy?” She shrugged in disappointment.

“What if he left me just like that?” Tapped her forehead, “It’s nothing wrong even if he did that because I acted like that.” The gloominess settled in her eyes.

“Why, in a second, a vibe of discomfort came to me at the very thought of not having him in my life?” She noticed that something in her was changing. “Am I leaning towards him?” With that, she lost in her thoughts as everything turned blank to her.

Squeezed shut her eyes, “Can I risk taking another step? Do I have the courage to take a big leap?”

Sighed in exasperation, she bowsed his name, and a ton of pictures appeared. Brushed her hands on his face while her eyes glued onto him, she muttered, “I know I like you from the day my eyes laid on you, and it feels great to me when I’m with you.”

“But, I fear getting hurt again.” She gulped, “It’s better like this, alone, drowning in my miseries rather than seizing a glimpse of happiness and left with nothing at the end.” Her lips pressed into a thin line.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t want to disappoint you, Rudra. However, I don’t know… I couldn’t help myself… I wished to be with you, but If I wanted to accept your love, I must tell you about my dark side because I too have feelings for you. How can I open up my horrible past with you? The deepest scars which no one knows except Ameera.”

“What if you didn’t accept me after knowing what Dhruv did to me, and how miserable he made my life, how he wiped off all the happiness in my life?” The flashes of grief, hurt, and distress occupied her as the terrifying haunts arrived in front of her.

Hugged her knees and curled up into a ball. She rested her head on her kneecaps and drifted off to her scars. The ugly darkness overwhelmed her as her body felt stinky with the old memories, the touch, the pain, the agony.

Involuntarily strode to the bathroom, stripped her clothes, and flipped on the shower. As the steamy water pours down, dripping off from her face, her mind fades into dullness, and everything is a foggy illusion.

07:00 AM

Stood beside the window, staring at the serene sky while wiping off the water from her hair, she stayed still. The chilly breeze eased her heart, and a beep alarmed her.

Gazed at her mobile, “Ameera! Finally, one good thing for today.” She mumbled and picked it up instantly.

“Hey, Babe!!! How’re you doing?”

“Hi, Babe!! I’m doing good!! What about you?”

“Yes, I’m a bit busier these days. Let’s hang out this weekend. We need to have some fun!!!!!”

Hearing Ameera’s words, excitement shot through Tanvi’s nerves, “yay!! I’m in.”

“At our usual spot?”

“Yep! Ey, one second. You said weekend?”

Ameera chuckled, “hmm.”

“You… planning my birthday? I won’t join you. Fuck off!!”

“Hehe, listen!! The Beach festival will start on 4th December.”

“So?”

“Don’t act dumb. We craved to attend this. Have you forgotten about it?” Ameera roared in irritation.

“Oops!! Okay, agreed.” Tanvi added dramatically, and they both burst out laughing.

10:00 AM

“Ugh, sitting all day at home sucks.” Tanvi sighed while flipping the channels on her television. Rubbing her nape with folded legs, “nothing seems entertaining, what shall I do now? I’m bored of staying inside all the time.” She kept a sulky face and brainstormed.

Aw! Idea!” She jumped from the sofa, and placed her finger on her chin, “I’ve money now. So I can treat myself to good costumes. Yayy.” Her eyes glistened with the very thought.

“What should I wear?” Her hands rolled across her cupboard until a red flared palazzo attracted her eyes. Grabbed it and took a black sleeveless blouse, “this should match!”

With a nod, she changed her garments and straightened her hair. Looked herself in the mirror, “huh, it’s been many days since I’m this good-looking.” She exclaimed with a satisfied smile, and paired up with medium height wedges, she put on little makeup and wore red lipstick, took her Chanel wallet, and left.
