Nandini's POV
" No Thanks,I don't attend stranger's marriage" I tried to get away from his hold.I catch a whiff of his scent it's too masculine and too tempting but,I need to be away from this guy.
I am aware, too damned aware, of his rough big hands stroking my waist.Against my will,my skin heats up under his touch.I come back to my senses and return to my scowling.
He grins," Ahh about that,you know that you are not left with any options right ? Zilch nothing ,you have to come with me and its next week,we will attend the marriage and straight away head to Gurukul where the fun begins" He winked now.I squirm harder his hold hardens.The weak part of me wants to stay like this in is arms,but the stronger part of me wants to kick him hard where the sun doesn't shine." You don't intimidate me Manik ,my answer is a big fat NO" ,He pulls me forward " Say yes" his voice as deep as baritone " No" is my stubborn reply.
" Say yes for me to kiss you now senselessly,We will talk about other trivial things later ".I was speechless I couldn't say anything because I knew if I open my mouth I will say yes to him I don't want to give in so easily.But he is in no mood to hear me ,He pulls me even closer " Forget it , just for some moments forget that I promised you I wouldn't do anything you don't want me to just this moment ok please ".He did not give me any chance to digest whatever he said he pulls me in and kisses me, bringing his hand into my hair and the base of my neck.Now that my strong mind seems have gone on a vacation ,I take him in deeply.Our tongues play together our grip on each other tightens. Good lord,the kiss deepens and the warm taste of him heightens every nerve in my body.I put my hand on his cheek, caressing the soft whiskers.
By then the my phone rings so loud that I literally would head butt Manik if he hadn't moved away too fast.I realise again that I am too stupid to fall for this guy's antics ,who can't decide what to do with his so called friend who is following him like a lost puppy ever since the academy has started.I get up and attend the phone after talking for sometime I hang up my phone.
" Who was it " , He asks softly , unaware that I shouldn't answer him " My rakhi brother " I answer absent mindedly." You don't have Gulzar brother ? " He winks yet again.
" What ? " I guess I am back to my senses now since that earth shattering kiss.
" Well you said rakhi brother I asked if you dont have gulzar brother " He said waking up and sitting on the bed.I try to not smile at his poor joke and which was way too abstract." And why would you want to pry ".I had enough of this guy. "Manik you have to leave now,I don't know why you are here when you could have just sent me a message or so, I really don't want you here, this is my alone time you just can't hijack my privacy.You don't barge in like this to anybody's house do you ?" I raised my eyebrows." Nope , none only good liars " He laughs at his own stupid joke.
" Oh really , As if you are Raja Satya Harishchandra " I roll my eyes.He pulls my hand and makes me sit beside him." Ok stop all this fight ,I really need you to come to the marriage.My grandma is after me to get married and I lied to her that I already have a girlfriend who doesn't want to get married soon because she wants to be an actress ".He caresses the back of my hand slowly.
" Why not Du..I mean Aliya " I bite my tongue for almost mentioning Dumbliya.
" Because she is too clingy and not my dadis type,My dadi likes cute girls not model types she thinks they starve themselves to death " he says nonchalantly." And you think I am cute " I ask him with a smirk.He looks at me " Yea don't you know how many guys in academy think that you are cute and they want to pull your cheeks every now and then ? " he just did not say that .I punch him on his arm ." Shut up, You are so mean why would boys like pulling cheeks of a boy " I ask him." Well you are an exception" he says.
"But on a serious note since I have already said you will do whatever I want you to do this is your first assignment and I will explain to you about my family when we get back to Mumbai and will meet there ok" He says in a commanding voice.
I show him my tongue " Dream on I never said I will come ".
" In that case ...." He has me on the bed again and he is tickling me like crazy and I am dying laughing because I am extremely ticklish and its like he even knows my weak points ...I struggle under his tickle attack " Say Yes ,Or else I am not going to stop any time soon and I am at advantage here as you are wearing a saree and mind you if you move any more I will get a nice strip show today " He continues his tickle attack.
" Ok ok , I give up I will come with you please stop now " I wipe my tears which were falling endlessly because of my non stop laughing
" Um Nandini actually you um...I mean " he scratches his neck as if he is struggling to say something " You need to you know change your attire " he says with his intense looks and goes out of the room closing the door behind him.I wonder what happened to him but ,when I see my saree pallu has completely fallen off from its place I am horrified because my blouse was really deep, and now I understood the look he gave me.I curse myself for wearing a saree but then I never knew this guy will turn up not my fault really I talk in my mind endlessly ,blushing profusely at the look he gave me which I am unable to get off my mind.I change my dress wear my comfy pjs, and get rid of all the jewelries and makeup.I thank my rakhi brother actually he is my childhood friend, and we grew up playing together in summers , we used to have blast since Rishab is many years younger than me and Rithwik was just two years younger than me ,I always sent him rakhi ,and declared him as my brother when I was too young ,and he was happy as he was the only kid so even now I send him rakhi and he has remained sweetest brother of mine. When he called up to ask about Amm's surprise birthday party he kind of ruined or may saved the moment.I can't fall weak for Manik.We have to draw a line.
I go out of the room and see Manik talking to someone on phone
" Listen Aliya,I can't come now I am not really in the town ,I had some work so I will be really late " .Wow so much for the stolen kisses this guy can't even stay loyal for a moment why does he even have to pick up her call if he claims otherwise.I glance at him when our eyes meet he checks me out head to toe which causes heat in my body yet again ,Nope Nandu control yourself I talk to myself and take a deep breath.
" You seriously can't tell her to quit is it? You just enjoy the attention.Anyways you really should leave now " I snarled.
" Come on now ! It's not my fault I had hundred missed calls from her ,She would have called the police if I hadn't called her back ".
I don't say anything I just go and sit on my armchair.
" I guess I will leave now since the rain has stopped, and I overstayed my visit but can't say I didn't enjoy it especially the part where you were begging me to stop tickling.Since my clothes are yet to be washed and dried I will have to wear these hope your cop dad doesn't arrest me " He wickedly grins,comes near me where I am sitting " Don't forget to pack some sarees for Gurukul I would love to see you in them " He whispers in my ear kisses my jaw hard one last time and saunters out of the house.I think I have officially gone crazy because of this guy.
Just after ten minutes he leaves my family members are back with all that liveliness and happiness on thier faces for seeing me.I hug all of them and tell them how I missed them and it had been only few hours. But certain someone also wasn't going out of my mind easily I need anti Manik medicine asap.
