Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 640: Adorable



Chapter 640: Adorable

Noor stared at Arsh when he took her upper lips between his and gently caressed them, then he repeated for the lower lip. That gentle feathery stroke made her heart pick up its speed. 

It took her a few seconds to discern he was kissing her. She stiffened without knowing what to do. She had read in novels and seen in dramas and movies but she felt clueless. 

She felt butterflies in her stomach. Something in her was asking her to get close to him, hold him, but her eyes widened further when he barely left her lips at a breadth of hair and looked into her eyes.

She instantly turned cherry red. She felt shy, itching her hands to cover her face. She wanted to bite her lips but the trail of his lips was still giving her butterflies. She knew she liked it and somehow craved it so she was mortified.

Jerking away from his hands, her eyes wandered everywhere but his eyes. She stuttered, feeling her face turn hot, "You- you- you lied to me" 

Arsh dropped his hands watching her embarrassed. "They are gone." He leisurely uttered pointing at the hiccups, however, he licked his lips, thinking, 'Only if she had responded.' He indeed kissed her due to hiccups, he wouldn't have minded continuing if she had just given a small cue of acceptance to his move.

'Gone?' For a second she thought he said about Aria before realizing it was her hiccups. Without knowing what to say, she pretended to be angered for playing with her when she was happy that he was back. "I am not talking to you."

She was trying to run towards the door, when he easily held her hand, "Noor" 

Her name in his voice felt like soft pleading on her ears that she melted instantly. When he tugged her to turn her around, she went to his arms without daring to look him in the eye. She already hugged him once, so what if she did another time?

She heard him breathe in relief, wrapping his arm around her as he leaned on the desk behind him. She couldn't stop herself from smiling when she sensed him relaxing in her arms, without teasing her, She was content, seeing him back and be with her.

More than a minute passed, when they stood in each other's arms, enjoying the pleasant silence under the dim lights. Noor again smiled to herself. She had never thought she and Arsh would end up like this one day. Thinking of it, a question popped into her mind, 'Whatif Young master had confessed to me when we were in school?'

That reminded her of Rooney and Jasmine and imagined themselves in such a position. Since she knew Arsh was delayed because of her, she had no complaints. 

Finding the little happiness, she left her struggling days behind summarizing everything with, "I missed you." 

Her mellow voice brought a smile to his handsome face. He kept his eyes closed as he kissed her head, wrapped his arms tight.

Noor was still enjoying his warm embrace when he gently pulled her back. He brushed her hair away as he cupped her face to look at him. "Aren't you angry or sad anymore?"

Noor smiled, shaking her head, "You are back." Why should she waste their time getting angry or sad?

"Are you fine with my job?" He asked. It was important to know her opinion. He didn't want unsaid worries and misunderstandings between them. If the conversation could keep everything at bay, he didn't want to give chance for trouble between them.

Noor bit her lip. She gave it a thought, and Arsh gave her time to think without rushing her. He took her inside the suite to clean her tear-stained face.

Noor stood by the door frame watching him wet the towel. "I don't know. I think I will be fine." She wanted to support him even though she didn't like the twenty days waiting for him. 

He gently dabbed the wet cloth on her face when she tried to say, "I will do it." 

After completing his job, he asked again, "Don't you want me to change the job?"

Noor knew he was doing what he liked. When he could support her for what she likes, why shouldn't she? In such thoughts, she shook her head again as she added, "No. Isn't it good to do what we enjoy? Instead of blaming our life by doing what we don't like?" 

Arsh was impressed by her words. But a part of him knew something wasn't falling in place.  "Let's eat something." He took her to the nearest restaurant and fed her well while speaking with her.

Noor asked her father if she could go home late and she would be in the Morgan mansion, even though he grumbled saying she started making her boyfriend's home as hers, he gave in hearing her lively, requesting voice. He could feel his daughter was happy.

Arsh was on the shotgun when Noor drove her car. "Are you tired? Don't you want to go home and sleep?" It was already nine.

Noor responded after glancing at him, "I slept for a long time. I don't think I will be able to sleep soon."

Arsh nodded. His question wasn't actually for the response or to send her home. Noor was more lively and cheerful with him. 

----

Arsh met everyone who thought he returned after doing some of his work. They had complaints like why couldn't he keep his mobile on or call them.

Noor again followed Arsh to his room like his little pet. He chuckled silently before asking her, "Do you also wanna take shower?" He didn't give her time to respond, "No problem, my bathroom is pretty big."

Noor flushed. She just wanted to accompany him for a little while. She thought he might be tired. "Then I will go home. Rest early."

She turned to leave but ended up in his arms with her back against his chest. Any fool could easily say she wanted to be with him. He turned towards the bed and pointed at the stack of books, "Help yourself. I will be quick." He whispered to her ear.

Without a second thought, she nodded instantly, making him chuckle, finding her adorable.
