Together Forever

Chapter 12: Count from one to ten

The practice for the play, "Romeo and Juliet" was going on high speed since there was only a week left for it. The entire crew left no chance to let their English teacher, Mr. Matthews to complain. Since all the scenes were practiced they asked Swara and Sanskaar to perform the dance.

When the music started, Swara and Sanskaar had already started dancing looking into each other's eyes. They had twirls, splits and let up steps but both managed to take it gracefully.

"Are you affected by my closeness, Mr. Flirt?" Swara whispered teasingly as he landed on his embrace after he twirled.

"Swara stop talking or else we'll get caught." Sanskaar said moving with her accordingly and eyed at Mr. Matthews who was looking at them keenly.

"That's not the answer I look up to, young man." She winked at him as he turned her sliding his hand on hers before he lifted her up.

"I am not." He said.

'What a lie!' his heart mocked.

"Really?" They why do you still keep space between us?" Sanskaar's ears turned red. Even though he had healthy flirting with girls he always made sure he had kept enough distance between them but now being close to this girl did something to his heart.

"Prove me wrong." A smirk appeared in her lips as he twirled her in circles.

"And if I do?" Sanskaar didn't hesitate this time. He like challenges and definitely love to break it too.

"First you do." She said as he stopped twirling her and she again back on her feet. Sanskaar pulled her close to him through her waist making her gasp in shock while her breathe hitched . She didn't expect him to be this quick. She felt her face getting warm.

Her eyes danced in amusement and shock. This time it was Sanskaar's chance and he gave her his famous smirk.

"Swara why are you slowing down?" Robin's words brought her back from shock. She quickly fastened the speed to match Sanskaar. He left out of a chuckle but received a glare from her.

Damn! Swara closed her eyes for a swift moment and looked away. She was feeling so attractive towards him but she couldn't specifically tell if it was his eyes looked so beautiful, his smile which could make one go on their knees nor his smile yet unique personality.

"Didn't I tell you? I can make it." Sanskaar smirked as he caught her hand after a twirl. "I may not be man of words but I sure am a man of actions." And his words faded when he looked at her brown eyes. Damn! Such a captivating eyes she had. It was so deep with emotions like waves hitting the shore but he couldn't figure out exactly what everything but they looked so dark and distant.

"Of course you are." A soft smile spread her lips.

"It's going to end." He reminded her as they were reaching the end of the dance.

Somewhere and somehow both didn't want the music to stop and dance looking at each other forever.

Laksh who returned back from getting his scripts, witnessed them dance so gracefully that ignited fire of jealousy and waves of ache in his heart. He quickly walked away not wanting to look at her with someone.

Students were spell bound with the dance Swara and Sanskaar had put on after all the steps they used were quite difficult one. Robin, the dance master had a very satisfying feeling seeing their improvement while Mr. Matthews fixed his spectacles properly since he had nothing to complain about them.

When the melody music and so did the dance everyone who was present in the auditorium strike their hands together for a clap for their splendid performance breaking their eye lock.
