She felt the heat rising as she blushed a deep, beetroot red. She literally ran to the kitchen to avoid the panic which was building within her. Her heart seemed to be in a vice-like grip. Her pulse was pounding and her temples throbbed dully, with the onset of a migraine. Or was it something else?
Just as she poured herself a glass of chilled water from the fridge, the stainless steel bottle slipped from her shaking hands and toppled to the ceramic floor in a loud clatter. Immediately, almost immediately, Ravi was by her side.
She turned around startled, as she came face to face with him. He looked achingly handsome, in crumpled pajamas and tousled hair. His bare torso glistened with sweat. The chest hair curled all the way down…. She couldn’t help sighing. She pulled herself away saying, “I’m sorry that I woke you up. The bottle just slipped.”
“Oh, thank God, you are O.K. I thought you had fallen down.” His eyes skimmed over her. Bright, distraught face, silky hair cascading down all over her shoulders, pink, silk night-gown and heaving bosom. He caught his breath.
