Crossing The Devils Path

chap 6- anger and blunders

Richas pov:
It was more than an hour and I was beyond annoyed and irritated .
I am a person who is always punctual and I hate waiting or to keep someone waiting. Yet here I was , Miss Richa Chadda waiting for a person from the last one hour and that to a man. A man who she barely knew for a few hours and still asked her out plus the craziest part is she said yes to it.

I had already finished eating my pasta and all I was doing was staring at the walls or decoration. At some point of time my bum started hurting so I got up and went to the window .
It was a full moon night. The moon looked beautiful amongst the clouds. Shining its moonlight on the ground . The night was still and cold, more like pleasant. If I had a coat right now, I would have been enjoying the weather outside I thought. Unfortunately I had to wait here, so I turned and looked around the room for something to entertain me.

The room looked amazing but it gave off a feeling that all this is "fake" not like fairy tale or fantasy fake . But plain fake and I hated fake. Wether it came to life or reality I liked it real no matter how hard it might be atleast its the truth no fake , no deceit.
Suddenly my eyes fell on the champagne bottle and I could feel myself lighting up. Its not like I was an alcoholic or something . I rarely consumed alcohol but sometimes you have to make exceptions.
Ok now richa shutup and do it . stop your philosophy its getting boring .
I told myself . Then I took the champagne bottle , opened it and poured myself a glass. I drank it down slowly and my throat felt a sensation I hadn't felt in a long time.

I felt a little light headed so I decided to drink one more glass. So on it continued till I was all drunk and barely in my senses after the fourth glass. I was laughing hysterically thinking about how my life suddenly became a roller coaster ride. Finally when I stopped laughing I spotted the music player.
"Hmm its been soooo long since I last danced or attended a party. Oh my god! Come on girl get a life " I told myself.
"Oooo drunk Richa is talking to herself huh. "I said and smirked.
I switched on the music player and started dancing to whichever song was being played. After a few seconds I was in a total dancing mood. I became wild and started swaying my hips and body to the rhythm of the music.

Suddenly the music stopped . Confused I turned around to see Richard literally gawking at me. He had shock written all over his face and his mouth was parted. His bow tie was untied and he held his blazer in another hand. He looked stressed out and tired.

I started walking towards him with faltering steps. Halfway I tripped on the carpet and closed my eyes . I didn't want to see myself fall and waited for the thud on the floor. Instead I felt muscular arms encircling my waist and I was brought close to a warm tough body.

I opened my eyes and met with a pair of blue eyes. They had an intense but tired look. I involuntary smiled and surprisingly he smiled too. He helped me stand up and started saying something
"Richa baby I am really sorry I..."
"Shush" I said placing my finger on his lips. He looked down at my finger then back at me.
"Baby ? really? To hell with that I am not your baby" I said angrily and turned around leaving him standing in his place.
"But lis.." he started again
"No no no "I said " do not even start with that - oh I am sorry I was caught up with some urgent work and shit. Ughh! You men you all make these excuses just like
Sameer . You are bored of me already ! aren't you?" I said pointing a finger at him. He had a bewildered expression on his face .
"Ooops" I said placing my hand on my mouth. " I sound like your girlfriend already. But wait you are happy right? You were planning to make me fall in love with you anyway. And you..." " you are just going to have some fun with me right? Playing with my feelings, enjoying my pain? And once your so called plan is executed , you will leave me just like trash!" I said putting my hand in the air and quoting the word fun.

He stepped closer to me and I moved back. I seriously felt like I was in some kind of drama or movie. This was way too cliché. He kept coming closer to me until my back touched a wall. Now I was practically stuck between his hard rock like body and a wall. I rolled my eyes at him and he replied to it with an evil smirk. My eyes widened as I realised why he was looking at me like that .
All possible things that could happen at that very moment started passing through my mind. I was blushing like a tomato at this point. While Richard clearly seemed to enjoy my embarrassment.

There was pin drop silence in the room and the only sound was of an insect humming away in the distance. At this point I could barely keep myself together . The alcohol was kicking in and I could feel myself fading away.
Richard dipped his head a little and looked down at my lips. When he looked back up , our eyes locked. Blue eyes staring down at brown eyes. He was about to kiss me on my lips when my head started to ache and everything around me started moving . Our noses were now touching each other and as he was about to kiss my head fell on his shoulder and the last thing I remember was listening to his sigh.
