You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter-55 Special

Mitali made her way to the awfully clumsy Adi and the girl trying to dance with him.

Adi: (still dancing) Hey Mitali! Come dance with me!

Mitali:(sarcastically) Yeah, I think I'll pass since you know you clearly are such a  pro at this.

Adi: Yeah I am such a good dancer!

Mitali:(sarcastically) You sure are.(Turning to the girl) So I don't think we've met. Hi, I'm Mitali. And you are?

Girl: I am Trisha. Trisha Khanna.

Mitali: Hi Trisha. So who's side are you from? Kavya or Jai?

Trisha: I'm Jai's cousin.
Mitali: Oh. And how did you meet champ(Pointing to Adi) ?

Adi: Oh yeah well, she was looking for Jai when she accidentally bumped into me. We introduced ourselves and then before we even knew, we were dancing.

Mitali:(sarcastically being jealous) Yeah you're quite the charmer, aren't you?

Adi grinned, still not getting the sarcasm.

Trisha:( keeping her hand on his shoulder) He actually is. He's really sweet.

Mitali didn't pay attention to whatever they said next. Her eyes were transfixed on her hand that was  on his shoulder.

Trisha: For a stranger who doesn't even know me , I think I can give Adi the credit for being a total sweetheart!

Mitali: (sarcastically) Yeah, yeah I know,right? You know what? Why don't I leave so you both can get back to dancing? And whatever else you were up to!

Adi: Mit-

Mitali: Toodles!

Saying that,she turned and walked away from the duo ,huffing.

The pool side was deserted as the clock inched towards 10:00pm. Mitali, sated with appetizers and desserts from the party, was half -heartedly lying on a chair. She let her hair down and let the breeze lift her hair off her forehead. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and gazed out across the pool. Above,the moon was a crescent with a low glow.

Sighing softly, she closed her eyes.

'Mitali?'

She opened her eyes to a frowning Adi, standing beside the chair with a plate in his hand. Mitali sat upright. As he sat down on the next chair, Mitali asked,

Mitali: What happened to your Lady Muck?

Adi: Who?

Mitali: That minx you were dancing with a little while ago. Did you dump her already?

Adi: Hey! Her name's Trisha. She just went to help Sahil's Mom and Jai to manage all the guest arrangements. And why would I dump her? She's just a friend.

Mitali: Yeah,so were the 28 people you ever dated and look where they are now.

Adi made a poker face. Mitali went back to gazing at the sky.

Adi: Hey I came here whether you were okay or not, and here you are, acting all cranky !

Mitali: Hey!

Adi: You just stormed off saying toodles! Why ?

Mitali: Well you know I thought gazing at the sky is more my thing than, you know, watching  girls being cheesy with you.

Adi chuckled softly as he knew that she was jealous. And honestly he loved it.

Mitali: Wow, you're laughing, great! You know what? You can stay here . I'll leave.
