Shenanigans Of An Imp

chapter sixteen

All her life she loved the Ferris wheel. She even loved the roller coaster. So on both the occasions that Carl had thought kissing her senseless was not going to affect her poor heart he was sorely mistaken! Yes she felt like the God's had taken a keen interest in their, umm.. affair? Attraction? Interest? Whatever you may want to call it! It played havoc with her feelings.

Yes she was more than flattered with how when they first met he had gotten into inconsequential arguments with her or how he silently would challenge her with the lift of his arrogant brow. How he would do a slow appraisal of her each time the met and how without him touching her she could feel the heat in his touch.

And his kisses, they were more potent than she'd like. Each time they were in the same room she could feel him. She knew when he looked at her and even how he looked at her!

She had been a romantic once upon a time. She had believed in knights who'd come to save her from  her mundane daily existence and take her away into the world of balls and carriages.

But that had been a long time ago. She had grown up now and she knew only she could be her salvation. There wasn't anybody who would save her or even care about her.

She was her hero and her own salvation.

She had fantasized about him when he played the superhero and her heart hurt when he played a grey role. She wish she could have eased the pain he had shown on screen. She dreamt of him the way many women did after watching a handsome talented actor.

What she did not expect was to know how his lips felt on hers. How his touch set fire to her blood and how she was scared that she may get addicted to him and to him she would just be another notch in his bed.

So when she snuck back into her house after everyone was fast asleep, she raced to her room packed her bags , had a record shower and ran back down with her bags into her brothers car, she never expected her friends to be standing against the car with expressions that varied from disapproval to hurt.

Sighing she was about to explain when Shivani stepped forward and for the first time in her whole life slapped her across her face.

"What do you think of yourself? Do you even know what we have felt for the past five hours? How we have managed to keep your brothers from sending a search part for you? And now you have the audacity to sneak out again? With your bags?!" Shivani said her chest heaving with anger.

"She doesn't care about anyone. She wants something she does it. We can just stand by and watch her jump into the empty well. The only thing we can do is take her body back to her parents. Come one we wasted enough time on  her. It's not like she is going to answer. She knows she is wrong." Samaira said pulling Diya and Shivani in the direction of the house.

"Would you at least let me explain!" Kim said running in front of her

friends.

They stood with their arms crossed at their chest. Taking that as her cue she started " I can't deal with him okay? He is just a little too much in your face  type of a person! He thinks it's completely fine just pulling me into rooms and drugging me with his kisses. Like I won't fall for him. That what attraction I had for him hasn't already reached another level!! I can't afford to fall in love with him! I already like him,like a lot! I like how he is so arrogantly sure of himself, how he has this cute lopsided smile on when he sees his mother in an argument. How he is so humble even after all his success. How he quietly sits through Amma's lectures on our culture. I can't fall in love with him!! I just can't!!" She wailed.

"Kimmy you sho-"  Diya was about to say when Kim cut in and said  " I am sorry I can never give another man such power over me. I can't just stand by and let him dictate how I live my life. I have worked damm hard at both my work and relationships so no don't say what your about to. I am not changing my mind. I was going to drive down to Hyderabad. The wedding is in four days. It takes two days to drive down. You guys want to come along you have twenty minutes to pack and leave. I am going with or without y'all it's your choice really."

She said and got in.

The girls silently exchanged looks and went to pack up their clothes.

Kim had till then written notes to her grandparents and assured them that she would meet them before she'd leave and she told her parents that she'd see them in Mumbai and she would be safe the girls were going with her.

It was four in the morning when they finally left. It was awkward and silent. Something that had never happened before with them. Diya was replying to her mails. Samaira was making a mix and Shivani hadn't uttered a word from the moment she got in. What she was unaware was that while the others did not know about Carl having the same feelings, he to couldn't make up his mind, someone knew and had left a note under his door before they left.

Now all they had to do was wait for Carl to do something about.

Carl has a helper?  And she is trying to get the two to admit their feelings? What's going to happen next? Will Carl catch up to them?

Stay tuned!!
