More than all the stars in the sky - An Addicted Prequel

Functional glitches

Manvi POV:

"So, you moved in with an almost stranger, what next Manvi? When are you getting married!" Swetha asks me in her condescending tone. God! it is never ending with her.

"Swe! Please..come on babe. I am happy."

"So long as I do not suffer from another heart attack like the one I got when you said you were living in sin."

"Stop dramatizing! Tell me, whats going on with you? When am I seeing you? I really want you to meet Virat."

"I am coming to New York."

"When?" I shriek. I see Virat walking into the kitchen with raised brows. He stands in front of me with a curious expression. I turn around and keep talking as I was too excited.

"Weekend!"Swetha tells me excitedly. "I am coming with mom and dad thought."

"When were you going to tell me, you idiot!"

"Sorry. Acha, I have a surprise for you. I got to go now."

"WAIT!"

"I have a class Manvi. I have to go."

"Whats the surprise. You cannot leave me hanging."

"Its called surprise for a reason Manvi. Take care babe. See you soon." 

"Don't you hang up on me...." I look at the phone and she veat me to it. "She hung up on me!" I complain to Virat.

"That Bitch.." Virat pretends to sympathize. "Who is it by the way?" he asks pouring himself coffee.

"My friend, Swetha."

"Ah, your over protective friend who keeps tabs on all my advances."

"That's the one. She said she is visiting me this weekend." I smile.

"Do I need to fetch my running shoes?"he laughs.

"Depends, if you are upto no good...then.."

"I like being upto no good with you..."  he  looks at the stove where I was making some breakfast and then at me. I see his eyes shine in mischief. "I am hungry.." he walks towards me.

"Get out of my kitchen!" I warn him.

"You are not wearing any pants Manvi...what will my friends think?" he asks passing his hands down from my waist to my legs, making me squirm.

I turn around and look at him angrily. "Your friends are away. And I would be wearing my pants and my top if I had them. Gimme back my clothes Virat!"

"Are you accusing me of stealing your clothes. Whatever gave you that idea, Manvi?" he asks putting his hands on his hips and looking at me amused.

"Virat?" I threaten him.

"I need to get my own place real soon. That way I can steal your clothes all the time." he pulls me onto his chest grinning.

"Virat...please! I need to get to class! You distract me all night! You distract me in the mornings! I am rethinking about this whole moving in thing! You are such a bad influence. I cannot study in the middle of the night like you!" I push him away. "And my eggs are burning!" I scream.

"What about my heart?" he demands. He hugs me from behind and starts feeling me up. And that little touch was enough for me to lose my marbles, my body surrenders to his readily. "That's my girl..." he kisses my neck tenderly.

Suddenly, we hear the lock of the main door turn. We stop and look at each other. " Karan and Tanya are out of town." he looks at me surprised. And then we hear a voice. I almost expire.
