Out of her league

Chapter 35

Sidd's POV

I did not kiss her. Tanya pushed my hand away before making her way towards her room again. Oh shit. I ran and stood in front of her. I need to explain this mess. "Tanu listen to me," I tried. "Don't call me Tanu," she hissed before moving to the right to get past me. I won't let her go. "Stop this nonsense, I am not going to believe your crap," she was fuming. " I did not kiss her, she forced me to kiss her. Just please believe me! I won't lie to you. Why would I?" Oh god help me. I was not going to lose her over Dahlia's stupidity. She went past me. Why couldn't she believe me? Just why? Why would she ever think I would ever do that? I don't get it. I need to get this on her head. I. Did. Not. Kiss. Her.

I did not expect what I did. But I was fed up. I pulled her by the wrist and held both of her shoulders, pinning her to the wall. Now she will listen to me. She smelt of jasmine and the eroded soil after rain. My favourites. She still had the smell of alcohol on her. Just how much did she drink? " I didn't kiss her, okay? She liked me and she was drunk. I was drunk. So when she kissed me, I pushed her away a bit slowly. You would have done the same thing. What do you expect? How was I supposed to know that she will kiss me? Huh? Look at me in the eyes. Am I lying?" I questioned. Her jet black eyes were still widened with the sudden shock of me holding her. She looked scared. Her perfectly pink lips were slightly parted. She was just a few inches away from me.

Silence. A faint sound of clock ticking. She gulped before looking down. And then she looked up again. "I don't care," she replied. Her face was blank, just void. Nothing there. Void. Of emotions. Oh. Why would she care? Then why did she drink? "Why did you drink then?" I asked as a roll of tear escaped from her eyes. Her nose was turning pink and she looked devastated. Broke. And it hurt me like hell. And I was the freaking reason why. But I did nothing. She started whimpering.

"I love you"
