Nemesis (Manan Fanfic) On Hold!

Chapter 8: Safe passage

Her body shook harder once she was wrapped in my arms. I don't know where the sudden urge to comfort had come from. I didn't understand my own strange behavior. She pushed me as hard as she could, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"D-don't touch me," she stuttered as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She wrapped the towel firmer around her shoulders and turned around quickly to leave my room.

"Wait!" I shouted because I couldn't let her leave. It was almost 7 pm and the chances were extremely high that one of my friends would show up at my place any minute now. I would never be able to explain to them why she had been inside my room nor why her clothes were wet. I could never tell them that I had...kissed her. Alya would flip and murder her.

"You can't go!" I pulled her back harshly before she had the chance to touch the handle of my bedroom door.

"L-leave me alone!" she cried and tried to wring her arms free, but I tightened my grip instead. Her eyes met mine and her sad gaze was now replaced by blazing anger. "You filthy bastard!"

My eyes went wide with shock when I heard her curse me in such a way. No one dared to talk to me in such a tone and if they ever did, they would end up with a broken nose and possibly jaw.

"What the hell is wrong with you? YOU stepped into my bathroom!" I growled in her face, making her flinch a little.

"You are sick!" she hissed.

"Watch your words! What kind of girl steps into a stranger's bathroom blindly? All of this is your own fault!"

She gasped with big eyes and stared at me.

"Stupid girl," I cursed under my breath and let go of her arms. "My friends and girlfriend are going to be here any minute now, so I suggest you don't walk out of this room. Unless you want to explain to everyone why your clothes are wet and why you were inside my room," I added dryly and walked to my closet to grab something to wear.

"My cousin is here too..."

"What?" I asked and pulled a black wife-beater over my head.

"My cousin. He is inside the house too," she murmured.

"You took your cousin with you?!" I turned to look at her, but her gaze was shifted to the floor like she was ashamed. "God, you are dumber than I thought!"

"W-what should I do now?" she whispered.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a pair of shorts. I went inside the bathroom to get rid of the towel around my waist and slid into the shorts. I walked into my bedroom and found her standing there in the same place. Her body was shaking. She was probably cold.

"Go wear this. You are ruining my carpet by dripping all over it," I said and threw a black t-shirt and a pair of my grey sweatpants on my bed.

Her eyes shifted toward the clothing, but she didn't move.

"For fück's sake, go wear it! Don't make me say it again!" I hissed in frustration.

She flinched and hesitantly grabbed the clothes. She glanced at me with insecure eyes before she went inside my bathroom.

I ran my hands through my damp hair and groaned. I didn't know what to do. My thoughts were all over the place. This stupid girl had not only screwed up the fun evening I had expected, but she had put me in a very awkward situation. And then there was her cousin.

"Fücking fantastic!"

I heard the bathroom door unlock. She walked out with my clothes on. Her wet hair was messy and she pulled it to one side of her neck.

"I need to go home," she mumbled.

"I need to get you out of my house first of all. Where is your cousin? Text him or something and ask him to go outside to the garden and wait there for you," I said whilst I thought of a safe plan to get them out without getting caught.

"I didn't take my phone with me..."

"Fantastic!" I yelled, making her step back in shock. "I'm going downstairs to find your fücking cousin before my friends find him. I received a text from Mukti. They are all going to be here any second now. Wait here until I come back to get you, understood?"

"Y-yes. Thank you," she whispered.

"You are so going to pay for all of this," I cursed under my breath as I stepped out of my room and shut the door harshly.

[ Nandini's POV ]

Please save me from this nightmare, I prayed silently as I paced back and forth inside that jerk's room nervously. Another shiver ran down my spine, remembering what had happened earlier. I wiped my mouth for the fiftieth time with the back of my hand, but the icky feeling didn't leave my lips.

The sudden noise of the bedroom door opening, made me freeze in place. I held my breath in fear and turned around slowly to face the person.

"What are you looking at?" Manik snapped with a glass of what seemed to be whisky in his hand.

How could this jerk be drinking at a moment like this? Disgusting.

"Did you find my cousin?"

"Yes, he is waiting in the garden for us. Now follow and stay behind me. My friends are in the game room so this is the perfect moment to sneak you both out of my house."

I nodded again and followed him out of the room with a fast-pounding heart. I felt like a criminal who was about to commit a crime. Manik stopped in his steps suddenly and I bumped into him. He shot me a murderous look and grabbed my wrist.

"Nandini, I know after seeing me naked you can't think about anything else, but low-class country brutes are not my type. I thought I was kissing Alya when I kissed you so watch your steps and don't fücking bump into me," he said through gritted teeth and downed the rest of his whiskey in a single gulp.

I know a couple of you have been anxiously waiting for the next chapter so here it is! I just finished writing it tonight :) I hope you enjoyed reading it? I'd love to know what you think about this chapter.

Manik seems to have a split personality. One second he is nice to our Nandini and the next he turns into his usual jerk self...
