Arranged love |On Hold|

Chapter two

Cassy's dress and accessories on side.

***Flashback***

The huge round dance floor was illuminated beautifully with long fairy lights hanging from the ceiling. It was packed with people dancing and gyrating to celebrate their break-ups while others were sulking on the bar counter unable to come up from their break up.

While the party was in full spirit enjoyed by young crowd, I was engaged in a weird conversation.

"Are you here to get someone arrested?" I asked confused staring at the metal handcuff which violet was showing with so much pride. I don't know why we are best friends at first place.

"No mate!! Now listen to me very carefully,we are here on a mission!!!" she whispered in a grave tone, "I hate break-up parties so I brought this handcuff so that I can lock one hand each of any two ex-lovers who want to get back together but won't admit it. By forcefully being together, they will sort out their differences & then I will unlock the handcuff. So I brought you here to help me find still-in-love exes."

I blinked hard at her after hearing the masterplan."Are you okay or shall I arrange for a psychiatrist?"

"I am serious!!" She yelled excitedly "Whenever Jake & I have a fight, we do the same thing! And we are getting married next month, all thanks to this marital handcuff." She blushed.

"Marital handcuff? What stupidity!" I mumbled irritatedly.

Violet glared at me dangerously and her expression clearly warn me if I didn't agreed to help she's surely gonna kill me & I agreed to work on her dumb mission. She smiled and hugged me fiercely, I patted her back awkwardly as people were staring us weirdly. I always hated affection display in public. To gear up for our mission we decided to go in different directions in search of heartbroken couples.

I was chatting with some people who were going through heartbreak when I heard Violet yelling my name from the other side of the crowd. I made my way from the dance floor where people were sweating and smelling like pigs; Too much for controlling air pollution....

As I came closer I became conscious of myself as I felt Violet's friend was staring at me. Fine! He was handsome but I didn't like being stared to such an extent. I began doubting his intentions.

"Hiiii, Myself Ryan Ryder. Nice to meet you Miss--."

He stretched his hand to me with a smile.

"Cassy, Cassandra Strafford."

I smiled back shaking hands with him. But some where I found him creepy, like there was something else going on in his mind.
'Or maybe I'm over reacting' my inner voice snapped. And my doubts were confirmed when he didn't leave my hand. He was looking..no actually gawking at me.

I flinched to free my hand from his firm hold, he muttered something like"God! This girl!!!" under his breath and pulled me in his arms & crashed his lips on mine...He took my lower lip in his and sucked it harshly. Each nerve of my body was freezed with shock, as if he sucked my life out of me. But as reality slapped on my face, I came out of trance & pushed him away with a Herculean effort & planted a tight slap on his face. Tears brimmed in my eyes but I didn't wanted to show my weakness to that b@stard.

I clutched his collar as colourful words of my vocabulary flowed out of my mouth.

"How dare you?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you were a loose character the way you were looking at me & not even leaving my hand!!!!!!Just because I shook hands with you & smiled doesn't mean you show your real face so shamelessly!!!!!!!!What do you think of yourself!!!! I will get you life time imprisoned for this!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
