Unexpected Fiance

Chapter 6

His arms were no more around my shoulder, instead now he is holding my hands. We reached downstairs holding hand-to-hand. My brain was muddled. Though physically I was out of the room, but I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the room. It was not his behavior that shocked me, it was my own behavior. In the room, the way I reacted , I could be a prime example of a hypocrite. Just few minutes before I proudly told him that I am not interested in him and not going to play along with his charade, but in the room, in front of everyone I did exactly what he wanted. How could it that be??? No matter how much I thought, the way I behaved do not resemble me at all. Was I possessed ? Was it because of the way his mom talked??? It could be one of the reasons... but in my circle, backhand insults or off hand comments are very common. And I was very used to handling them in a better way from my young age. Then why did I over-reacted. Agree, the way his mom worded was borderline rude, but my reaction to that is definitely exaggerated. Was it because I genuinely wanted to date him ??? With a shock I looked at his face. He looked quite serious. But it is not that he is angry..just as if he was thinking. But in the sunlight his features look more angelic. His black wavy, side partitioned hair was shining in the sunlight. In the light, his pupils looked a bit more brownish than black. His well defined cheekbones, firm lips and rhythmically moving adam's apple. He is definitely a rare species. His arrogance is not unfounded he has the charms of an angel and irresistible attraction like devil in spades. With a thud, I stopped on my tracks. My behavior is not just because of his mom's words, the true reason is I was really attracted to him, that could be the only reason for my over the top response.

I looked at his face, now he is looking at me with question in his eyes.

"What happened?? Are you tired?" he asked.

Tired ?? Me.? In what.. I was not sure what he was asking.

Hearing no reply from me, he asked me again, "Do you want me to call for a Car?"

"Car?? Where to??" I asked him. I looked around. We came very far from the Principal's place. Actually we are heading towards my Private suite room.

Why are we going there.. How come he knew the way. Few more questions jumbled inside my head.

"Didn't you hear me?? We discuss in your private room. To clear our head , I rejected the car to go to your place since it was only a few minutes away."he paused for a moment and looked at me again, "You didn't hear anything at all?? What were you thinking?" he asked.

I have a sudden urge of telling him"Oh..i was busy staring at you and realized that I am attracted to you." was at my tip of the tongue . But I cannot tell him that and I have not yet lost it all , to tell that either, I replied, "Yes, I didn't hear you, as I was thinking about how to answer my parents." I timely made a convenient lie, which is not completely a lie either.

"We will discuss that too"

"Ok." I replied to him and tried to remove my hand from his grip. Sensing my movement, "We are holding hands all the way from office to here, now even removing my hand cannot undo the image we have already created," he replied in a casual tone.

"May not be for you, but after knowing my attraction to you... I felt a tingling sensation on the place his hands touched." Again since I cannot say that to him, I replied in my mind only.

Since I had no answer to give him, I kept my mouth shut tightly fearing I might blurt out which I should not till we reach our place.

I punched the safety code and pressed my index finger to unlock the door.

When the door opens, there were three pairs of eyes pierced me at the same time. Two sets of eyes are smiling at me teasingly and one pair of eyes looked at me worriedly. "Hey...What is happening?" all the three asked me in chorus. Though their tone was different but the question was the same.
