Just This Once

Chapter 7

"How did you know it was me even before looking back?"

I asked walking upto him and taking a seat besides him.

He just grinned like an idiot.

"How can I not recognise you, after you made me sleep in my bed after making it smell like you?"

He said looking straight in my eyes. I didn't knew if it was meant to be cheesy but it did make me blush as I felt my cheeks heat up.

I rolled my eyes and slapped his arm lightly.

I removed my books and placed them on the table before me. I started my revision but could not focus as his eyes weren't moving from my face and that sent shivers down my spine.

"Focus." I said facing him.

"That's what I'm doing."

He said supporting his head on the temple with his fist and elbow support his arm, not averting his gaze from me.

I looked him up and down and rolled my eyes. Again.

And this time, he smiled devilishly.

I sighed and somehow managed to study and made him study, ignoring his cheesy flirting.

Not ignoring the fact he's a pro in flirting.

We parted our ways after leaving the library as were in seperate blocks for the examination.

The paper wasn't tough, but not too easy. I completed within time and took the rest of the time to check and the recheck my answers.

When I was satisfied with my answer sheet, I looked at my watch to see fifteen minutes still remaining so instead of hotting the seat, I handed my answer sheet to the professor and left the classroom.

I was packing my back and felt someone's presence behind me.

I guessed it to be another student who left after me.

Just as I turned to walk away, I bumped into the chest of that person. Without looking up, I murmured a bunch sorries and started to get away.

I was stopped by the person holding my wrist. And it is him. I could recognise his touch anytime.

Before I could react, he said "Not accepted, you owe me another treat."

I sighed and turned to look at Akshat.

He rubbed his chest as if it wasn't me, but a hard metal body bumped into him. I scoffed as I said "Stop overacting, I'll give you a treat."

He smirked with it. We started discussing the paper leaving the college.
  
The whole week went through by giving exams and spending sometime with Akshat. My favourite being the later.

Also, we did met in the library early morning and his lame flirtatious jokes were a great help to lighten up my mood, to ease out stress.

He didn't even know how much he helped me without even knowing it. He was not even trying, he was just being....him.

If he just continues being him, I'm gonna fall head over heels for him. I don't want to fall, yet.

After my mind being fucked, finally the day of the last paper arrived.

I didn't stressed upon it because it was practical. I have confidence on myself with this, all I'hv to do is cooking food.

Not sooner I reached the ground, I was known that this exam will be held in pairs.
