Sahil's POV
" Then why were you grinning like a Cheshire cat? " Manayta asked.
Shit !! Be ready to be killed by your slap queen, Sahil Malhotra.
" Nothing honey... See the food has been delivered, let's eat. I have already set the table. "
" Are you trying to distract me from the topic?? " she said.
" No "
" Then tell me... "
" Let's have food first I am very hungry... "
" No, tell me first... "
" Don't be stubborn like a baby. Dinner first. I swear, I will tell you later. " I said and she nodded reluctantly.
Think of something to save your head, or she would serve your head on the platter as dessert to you.
Hey, how weird !!! How would I eat my own head?
Seriously ??? Sahil, you have gone crazy since you met her. What happened to that over smart man, who could handle so many girls at a time. And here you can't even handle this girl whom you thought to be plain and boring.
See that's why I used to say, love does strange things to you. See I am scared of telling my feelings to this cute little thing.
" Oh, God !! What is wrong with you?? What is going on? On seem to be on another planet. " she said.
" I am very much here and I am absolutely fine. "
" Then what are you thinking about? "
" Later honey, after dinner please."
" Ok fine !! But you have to tell me. "
" Yeah... "
We had our dinner, I kept looking at her.
" Oh, for god sake, eat your food. I am not going to feed you today. "
" Ok, ma'am. " I said and started eating.
Once the dinner was finished, I tried to distract her, but she asked me again.
" Now that dinner is done, tell me why were you grinning like that all by yourself? "
" Let it be honey, have you packed everything? "
" Don't change the topic, I am curious as hell and I want to know. "
" You won't like it much. "
" Why ?? "
" I know you... "
" Still, let me decide that. C'mon, tell me. "
" What if you kill me afterwards ?? " I asked.
" You were thinking about something that bad?? " She said with wide eyes.
" It was very good for me, I am dying to try it. But you may kill me. "
" How can it be possible?? If it was good for you, why would I not like that? See, I am curious like hell, tell me now. "
What is wrong with her? She was never so inquisitive...
" Promise me you won't kill me or slap me, my slap queen. "
" Slap queen ?? So you call me slap queen in your mind?? How rude !! " She frowned.
" But darling you also call me Satan..." I said and she shrugged.
" Whatever, why are you being so dramatic?? Tell me already."
" I was planning to have dessert... "
" So ?? What is wrong with that?? Why do you think, that I would kill you for that? I know you like sweets. Have it. "
" Seriously ?? "
" Yeah... Are you alright?? Have whatever you want. Oh !! Do you want me to make something?? It's ok, I can make, I won't kill you for that. " She said with a cute smile.
If only you knew... How I want to ravish my dessert. My candy floss... Don't tempt me by saying all that.
" You don't have to cook anything. The dessert, I want to eat is right here. "
" Where ?? " She looked at the table. She was so cute, innocent and naive. I was going insane.
I went near her and snaked my arm around her waist. I pulled her in my arms and tighten my arms around her.
" Here, in my arms now. You are looking like candy floss and as I have 32 sweet teeth, I want to eat it."
I said and inched my face near her. Only a few inches separated them from the meeting.
I would have to take things slow, she was so naive and innocent.
Manyata's POV
I came to my room. What was wrong with him, he kissed me and then he ran off and when I went to talk to him he told me to go away and then he kissed me again and... and then went to take bath??
I stopped breathing when he slipped his big hand in my top.
God !!! I could have died there with shock. My heart was trying to launch itself out of my chest.
What was he talking about cold shower??
Some times he talked like an alien. I shrugged and slipped between the sheets. We had to get up early the next day.
*******
It was 5 in the morning and I got up and got ready. I knocked on the door of his room but there was no sound. I push open the door and saw that he was not in his room.
I went downstairs and saw that he was sleeping on the couch in front of the TV
" Sahil... Sahil... " I called his name but he did not respond so I shook him lightly pushing on his shoulder.
He got up and looked at me. I smiled and said good morning, he did the same.
" Why are you sleeping here?? It must have been uncomfortable. "
" Oh, I could not sleep so I watched TV and slept eventually. Are you ready? "
" Yes, I will make tea, you go and get ready. But are you alright?? I mean you slept here. So are you feeling fresh enough to leave right now?? "
" Don't worry.... I am ok. "
" If you want to sleep for more time then go ahead, we can go after 2 hours or I can drive. "
" I am absolutely fine. I will just go and take a quick shower. "
I prepared tea for both of us and saw him coming down the stairs in a cool check shirt and jeans. He had already taken a bath in less than 10 minutes.
I gave him tea and we both had it.
" Do you want to eat something?? I can fix a light breakfast. "
" No, we can have it on the way if we want, let's just go... I am very excited to be there. I will go and load our bags in the car. "
He loaded everything in the car including the dresses which came yesterday.
I took water bottles and took a round of the house tidying up the kitchen and everything.
He locked the house and then we drove towards Chandigarh.
