Drugged Love (On Hold)

23, part 2

Elena glanced at the mirror one last time and applied some color onto her lips before leaving the school washroom. Ishan was waiting for her outside.

She thought she looked especially beautiful today. Her hair spread evenly on both sides of her face and fell in gentle curls over her waist.

She watched Ishan as she walked towards him. She had chosen to wear a new color of lipstick today. A bright pink, giving some much needed colour to her face. She thought Ishan might like it, maybe like it so much that he'd ruin it for her. Elena smirked at the sudden notoriety of her thoughts.

He looked freakishly hot today with his white shirt and hair all over the place. She smiled just to make him smile. She never could get over his smile, the way his lips curled gradually along with his deep twinkling eyes could give any girl in their school a hard time getting over him.

She couldn't help but stare at her lips continously. What was it that was pulling Elena so closer and making her act like this? She merely had such thoughts. She tried to compose herself. She didn't want to look too needy. It might put Ishan off.

"Hey so where we going?", Elena asked, as Ishan was too lost to answer her.

"What did you say?"Ishan asked totally lost.

"Stop checking me out and then you'll hear it.", Elena teased.

"It's not my fault."Ishan said non chalantly.

The blush on Elena's face deepened before she reached out to hold his hand.

"Control yourself miss. You don't want the teachers to think and spoil your reputation."

"Shut up", Elena smirked and held onto his hand nonetheless till they walked outside the school.

Elena would never have done that before. Why was Ishan making him feel so brave? Like she could do anything and didn't have a care in this world. She felt like the problems at home were from a different reality and Ishan had pulled her down into his own world where she had a normal life. After all the stuff that she'd been through, she just wanted this piece of normal.

She walked behind Ishan and they reached a lush green garden covered with trees which blocked most of the sun. The shade under the trees looked inviting and the deserted place with only a few people around, that too quite far away made Elena think of a lot of stuff. Ishan had picked up a spot and bought food on their way here.

"I didn't know you had such great imagination for a date." Elena said and took her place under a tree.

Ishan followed and said, "Hey I meant to tell you something?"

"Go on", Myra prodded.

"It's about Myra"

Elena was shook. The sound of her name passing through his lips bought back memories which she didn't want to ponder over.

"Actually I meant to ask you. You never told me about what you two really had although you used to say that there was nothing? "she said.

"There was nothing but there was this one time—"Ishan said not being able to look into her eyes.

"One time what?"Elena interrupted. She knew exactly what she did not want to hear.

"She kissed me."he uttered.

Elena could feel her excitement leave her body. She felt enraged. So Myra kissed her. Elena knew how direct her sister was. If she wanted something, she snatched it she did not care to ask nicely. She thought long and hard if she should let this affect her so much.

"So she was your first kiss. Not me." she rolled her eyes and looked into the distance.

"Yes, but I don't consider it to be a kiss. I didn't want to kiss her. I pulled out of it as soon as I could. And why does it matter now? I just wanted to let you know and start this with honesty."

Ishan was right. She did not want something that had happened in the past affect what she had with him now. Besides, Ishan was not with her then, so he could not blame him.

"You're right. It doesn't matter Ishan," she said and saw his face light up.

They both sat down and talked about everything except Elena's life at home. Ishan talked about about his family, about his miscievous little sister whom Elena found really amusing and fun. Elena told her about her friend Aarushi and all the boy problems he had had.

In the middle of the conversation, he leaned in close and wrapped his hand around her waist. Elena felt a pit being formed in her stomach which could be filled only with one thing.

She turned and grabbed his head and pushed it towards herself pressing her lips to his and inhaling his scent. He kissed him back with the same ferocity that she had and their lips painted each other before Elena sat on his outstretched legs and pushed her weight onto his.

She didn't know where all this came from. Maybe it came from a place of jealousy, after Ishan had told her about Myra. She wanted to show him, that she was not afraid to do all this. That she wanted him.

Elena pushed him down on the bed sheet they had laid and they kissed for a long time their lips only parting to breathe. Elena ran her hands all over him and let Ishan slide her hands into her top causing her to bite and pull is each others' lips

When they sat up catching their breath, Elena knew she wanted more but she had to satisfy herself with this much for now. Elena laughed as the blush on Ishan's face seemed apparent.

Soon after Ishan bought out the dreadful topic that Elena had hoped he would avoid,

"So, about your dad?"

Elena's face fell as he heard it. "What about it?"Elena said unimpressed.

"We have to do something, right?"

Elena had not fully understood the implications of telling Ishan that day. But now the realisation hit her and she was trying her best not to freak out.

"You can't do anything about it Ishan. Why not jus let it go?", she said.

"What?" Elena was taken aback by Ishan's raised voice. "So you're saying we just sit here and do nothing about it?"

"Yes. I don't want you to get hurt by doing something stupid", Elena said as Ishan sighed.

"And you? You want to keep getting hurt when you don't deserve to.", Ishan burst out.

"No Ishan. Just don't do anything stupid. I don't want to lose you", she said calming him down and looking off into the distance. She then rested her head on his shoulders.

Ishan grabbed onto her hand and she wished badly that this evening would not come to and end and she would not have to go home. Away to face her life. Away from Ishan.

Just don't do anything stupid Ishan. Listen to her, please?

I love this side of Elena. Don't you?
