No Thanks!

The evil lair

He went back to his penthouse and locked the door behind him. He got into the shower and hoped to wash away all the memories from last night. He obviously liked her...liked her more than he should. Why on earth did I go there? Because...Because she was your friend...You wanted to make sure that she was alright. Then why on earth did I run back here? Because you were crossing that line...and She clearly doesn't want to...ARRRRGH!

Annoyed at himself, he punched the wall. He's got to get a grip of himself. She was too delicate...She was too precious...He can't...He shouldn't...He stepped out of the shower, and looked at his reflection from the mirror. He looked at the scar in the middle of his chest and sighed. He had never in his life, did commit himself to one woman. He didn't want to fall in love ever. He didn't want to be the reason to cause pain for someone one day and most of all, his heart wasn't strong enough for a heartbreak.

He caused his parents enough pain when he died on the operating table 15 years ago. He came back to life thanks to a miraculous donor who died in an accident the same day. His transplant was a success at the time, but his cardiologist, found him to be deteriorating 5 years ago. He kept this secret deep down his heart, didn't let his parents know either. He probably had only a few more years worth of heart beats left, before it gave up for good. He cannot fall for someone like Ann...Women like Ann was made for love stories...and he didn't have enough time to live through one.

He decided the best cause of action would be to let his parent's know, that they have decided not to go forward with the proposal. He would remain friends with her. Go back to his normal life. She can go about dating Neil all she wanted. An image of Neil and Ann hugging each other flashed before his eyes. He was kissing her, long neck, and she was arching her head back giving him way. Shivaay,punched the mirror, hating the reflection he was seeing. His hand started to bleed. Fuck it! Why can't he come to terms with the fact that she only wanted to date Neil...Did she only want to date Neil? She did almost respond to his kiss last night. He felt it. Perhaps she would agree to casually date him...Wait what? She will never ever agree to that! A no strings attached relationship...But he had his ways with the women folk...He could possibly give it a try...A devious glint took over his ambitious blue eyes. Maybe he can make a good girl go bad for once? He ran cold water over his injured hand. He selfishly decided that he wanted Ann for himself. Even if it was for just one night!

Ann and Neil was having breakfast, before they headed back to Mumbai.

"How are you feeling?"

"I am okay..." She lied.

" By the way Shivaay saved your life last night...I hope he would stick to his word and not start construction work at the site! You did slap him pretty hard!" Neil chuckled.

" I..I will apologise to him properly when we get back. He's not a bad guy...I am sure he will understand...I almost died and came back...So I have an excuse.." She grinned and sipped on her coffee. Deep down her heart she wanted to meet him...talk to him...she missed him.

PING...

S.S.O: I want to meet you...It's important!

She sighed looking at the message.

Mad Woman: Sure...I want to meet you too...

S.S.O: My penthouse 7.30 P.M Let's have dinner and talk.

Mad Woman:Okay I'll see you.

"Hello..Come in..." He opened the door, and welcomed her in. She stepped in awkwardly. Last nights events had clearly drawn a barrier of awkwardness and a weird tension between them. She was wearing a baggy white shirt, and something black underneath. She was wearing rather baggy khaki pants as if it would hide her beautiful curves. This was making him more curious as to what she was wearing underneath more than usual. His eyes took a few gazes, trying to guess, and imagine, when she snapped her fingers.
