That girl-who changed my life

chemistry

Anjali was lost somewhere in her dreams when she heard the bell.Assuming that her ears were ringing,she ignored it.She never had any visitor so late...but the bell rang again,so she lazily stumbled out of the bed,switched on the lamp and toddled towards the door.She turned the knob and yanked the door open and,there she stood stupefied into silence.She blinked,looking at him,stunned.Is he out of his mind,Has he lost it.Anjali wondered,for Aaryan was wearing nothing apart from a pair of faded jeans.His feet were bare and so was his torso.

A rush of adrenaline tingled through her body as her eyes briefly skimmed over his face before dripping down to his broad shoulders,his muscular chest, the sharp lines of his abs and then to the waistband of his jeans.She looked him up and down...Once,twice ,thrice

Her heartbeat raced and she was having the firsthand sensation of free falling without leaving the ground.

"Umm Anjali...I..umm sorry,Disturbing you, ..but ...",Aaryan was at loss of words.Looking at Anjali,made him forget what was he doing there,at that odd time of the night,she looked so cute and sleepy,straight out of bed when she opened the door..that reminded him of the way she had slept beside him....and her cheeks ,they were getting redder with every passing second,it made his stomach flip involuntarily.

"W-what were you saying?",Anjali asked absent-mindedly, as her focus was somewhere else,she hadn't heard a single word he uttered.

"I wanted to know..?"Aaryan replied.

"Know what.?"Anjali looked up.He looked at tall and the way he was staring at her,made her feel minuscule in her flat sneakers.She stood taller and met his eyes.

"That night..on your birthday night..you dropped me home...right.?"

Anjali nodded.

"Then...?"

"I have told you already..havn't I".

"No I think there's something that you havn't told me..",He took a step closer towards her.Again she was getting intimidated..she wished he had worn his shirt,she wouldn't have been so distracted by his masculine smell then.

"No,then I made you lay on your bed..and left.We have talked about it.",she bit her lips hard as the memory flashed in her mind.

"You're missing out on something?.Right?",Whether she said or not,seeing her reaction,he knew the answer."She looks so adorable when she's flustered.",he thought and smiled at himself.

She didn't say anything.

"I remember everything...",he smiled again, wickedly.Anjali tightly gripped the nightshirt she was wearing.She was no more drowsy.Rather a numbness had spread over her.

"So?",Anjali asked meakly,mustering all her bravado.

"Can I kiss you again?",Aaryan asked foolishly.Neither was his brain in a working state.

Anjali widened her eyes in shock.He has the guts to ask..Really..Why again? She muttered under her breath.Her heart was yelling..yes yes yes but she said "No..go back...to your house...You aren't drunk now..So be in your senses.",she didn't know why she was being so stupid ..she was actually smiling at such a proposal.

She tried to push the door close but he held it,not letting her close it.

"Why..you can take advantage of me only when I am drunk..?",he pouted his face.

"Shutup!!!I didn't take any advantage of your state.....you took.",she snapped back.

"Ok..I was taking advantage..Why didn't you resist..Why couldn't you protest...You could have pushed me off."
