Many thanks to RobinPaul to edit/review the story for me.
This is based on a true story that happened in 2005-2007. While the situation occurred during a longer period. In the story, the timelines are condensed to make it a fast-moving story.
This story is independent and prior, way before my other stories that are all part of a series.
==============
Leela and Raja were couple happily leaving in North America. While their love was great, Leela was missing the attention when her husband was busy working. Raja was focusing on his carrier growth and making family financially stable.
Raja's friend and past room mate was coming to the town. He requested Raja if he can stay with them for some time. Since They stayed together in past and Raja treated Bhavik like his younger brother, he generously offered him to stay with them. Leela was initially very upset. She felt that her work at home will increase but agreed thinking it was for some time only.

Leela watched as Bhavik stepped into the house. He was the right kind of handsome, slightly darker in color compared to her husband, little bit rugged and sharp. He had a swagger about him that Leela found particularly attractive. She quickly glanced away as she saw Raja, her husband, greeting and welcoming him.
Bhavik who got an assignment in the town and had come to stay with them for some time. Bhavik and Raja had once been roommates. So, Raja generously invited him over to stay with them. Bhavik was still a bachelor. Leela, despite her initial reservations, had agreed to his stay. Deep down, Leela was more than a little excited at the prospect of having another male like Bhavik stay with them.

The evening quickly passed. Leela ensured that Bhavik settled comfortably in their guest room. Leela and Raja retired their bedroom for the night, but Leela had a hard time sleeping. She could feel the restless energy building up inside her and she knew it was only a matter of time before it exploded.
Her husband, tired from long day, was fast asleep. Leela noticed that the lights were still on in the guest room, so she decided to take a chance. She got out of her bed and slowly opened the door to Bhavik's room. He was lying down, lost in thought. Leela cleared her throat, catching Bhavik's attention.
He smiled up at her and asked "Still awake? what are you up to? Having trouble sleeping?".
Leela nodded and approached his bed, "Yeah, you didn't sleep either, so I thought I should check if you need anything".
"Nah nah! I am fine, don't need anything. You took great care, thank you!" replied Bhavik, "Just thinking of my first day tomorrow."
Leela, gave him a sarcastic look, "What else can you bachelor's think at this time of the day ", biting her lips and giving a naughty smile.
Bhavik was obviously taken aback but Leela continued to tease and flirt with him before she left the room.
==
The next morning, there was odd tension between both Leela and Bhavik. Leela could feel Bhavik's eyes on her every move and it made her heartbeat faster. She knew that she had already broken through his shell but she still wasn't sure how far it can be push.
As they were preparing to get ready for the day, Raja said, "honey, today i will drop him and show him around, but can you please pick him on your way back. Actually, can you pick and drop him everyday, he is on your way".
Leela hesitated, "Oh, our schedule may not match!", not wanting to lead Raja and appear too eager.
But Raja insisted," It is only for sometime, until he figures out other options".
Leela, agreed expressing reluctance, "ok!".
On their way back, Leela, gave a naughty smile to Bhavik, asking him, "How was your first day?"
Bhavik replied, "It was good, but with low concentration. I was thinking of you".
Leela asked, " Why me?".
Bhavik became bolder, "Your comment about what bachelor's think."
Leela laughed, "What do you think? All you dirty fellows?"
Bhavi looking at her said "Not really, we think of many things, but I was definitely thinking of you. You are very hmmm", and then paused.
Leela stopping at a red light asked "What hmmm??" and looked at him.
Their eyes met and it seemed like the whole world came to a total stop. Suddenly, someone from back honked at them. light has turned green and Leela brought her focus back to driving. Both drove silently to home.
When they reached home, Leela asked Bhavik to help carry grocery and stepped inside. Bhavik, followed her picking the bag and noticed that Raja is still not home. He placed the bag near kitchen and started looking for Leela, who had rushed to her bedroom closing the door behind.
When Leela came out, Bhavik pulled her close and placed his lips on her's.
Leela, pushed back forcefully "What are you doing?", showing furious anger and further added, "Raja will be here anytime, go to your room!".
Bhavik was lost in his thoughts, trying to understand what had just happened. A lady who was flirting with him and now just simply backed off. But then he realized, she was not angry that he kissed her. She was angry because she was afraid that her husband will be back and she could get caught. This though brought a big relief to him.
