Can you mend my broken heart?

Chapter 207 - The Game Of Flirting - 1



Akira went back to her desk all flushed and sat on her chair. She switched on her system but her whole body was retaliating against her. She wanted to focus on her work, but her mind was swirling somewhere else. She was totally submerged in that kiss and that was all that she could think of.

He was getting craftier with his ways and she knew that she had to plan a way to get back at him. She knew that he was her weakness and there was no way to avoid his playful wrath, but she also wanted to make him vulnerable for a change.

She had some water to calm her frigid nerves and settled herself at the workplace and then she switched on to her blog channel on her system and wrote.

"My heart desires for an ocean, but you give me just a drop,

I want to hold your hand in my palm, all you give is just a touch,

Stop teasing me, for my heart can't take it anymore,

So come and save me from atop, for all this is too much".

Then she left her desk to go to the terrace and while taking the lift she texted him,

"Catch me if you can Maverick !!!" - [Akira]

"What are you talking about?" - [Raymond]

"Figure it out !!! Aren't you the smart one here?" - [Akira]

She texted and then upon reaching the top floor, she looked around for a while and then went and stood at a particular point.

She waited there for a couple of minutes and with every passing minute, she was getting even more restless.

"C' mon Raymond, It was such a simple hint. How can you not figure this out", she mumbled with her eyes fixed on the terrace entrance.

With every passing span of time, her hold on the skirt was getting tighter and tighter with anticipation and then finally, she saw him opening the door and walking up to her.

"What took you so long?"

"The lifts weren't working", he said still panting.

And it was then that she realized that he had come climbing the stairs all the way up, just for her.

He came close to her and slowly tried to tame the unruly hair of hers which were strewn all over her face because of the wind. Then gently holding her face he took a deep breath and asked,

"Why would you write such a disturbing message? What happened? You could have just called me right?", he asked and she could clearly see how deeply worried he was.

She lightly bit her lips and then looking at him she said,

"I want to ask you something".

"Anything !!!", he said, with his tone getting even more concerned.

"Do you remember this spot? Do you remember when we last met here?"

"I do. But I don't want to remember it, for it was one of the most painful days in my life Akira", Raymond said and took a step closer. Then he placed his other hand on her cheek and gently cupping her face he asked,

"Why are you asking all this right now?"

"You kissed me on my heart that day. Didn't you?"

"I did Akira, but where are you going with all this?"

Then she took his hand and placed it on her heart and said,

"Then tell me now, with your hand on my heart, did you or did you not pay 2500 USD to the finance department on my behalf?"

Raymond's hand suddenly flinched and he removed his hand from her grip and asked looking at her,

"Who told you?"

"It's not a matter of who told me. Did you or did you not?"

Raymond took a deep breath and then said,

"Yes, I did, but don't mis-understand ..."

"Just stop Raymond !!!", Akira said raising her hand.

Raymond was completely perplexed, for now, he didn't know how to make her understand the whole scenario. He didn't want her to think that he did it out of pity or anything.

"That amount will be refunded into your account since I have joined back as per the company policy. I think you must be aware of it".

"Umm... Ok !!!", he said, totally clueless of where the conversation was going.

"Then probably that kiss of yours should be returned as well right?"

"What?", Raymond asked all surprised because he was completely clueless, unable to understand what she was trying to say.

A sly smile spread on her face and she took a step ahead and got closer to him and started opening the buttons of his shirt.

"What are you doing Akira?", Raymond asked.

"You are getting your money back from finance team so I think it's only fair that I return the kiss too",

Saying that she opened the third button of the shirt as well and slowly hoisted herself up on her toes. Then looking into his eyes she pulled his shirt to one side and placed a soft kiss on his bare chest.

And before he could even get a hold of what was happening around, she whispered in his ears,

"Now let's see how YOU work after this".
