The Happily Never After!!

The Perfect Date Part I

Mira POV 

" Are you really sure?" I ask , for what must be nth times.

" Of course." Viyaan said promptly , and he revved the engine of  his Porsche. I still feel like Viyaan Malhotra and a Mall should not be kept in the same sentence. But , no. He's hell bent on becoming my shadow. 

So be it. 

" I suppose you don't know the directions of the mall..." I mumbled , turning on the navigation.

" I do." 

" Oh. So...." I trail off . This is exactly why I wanted a game plan. To reduce the casualties and awkwardness. 

" Tell me something , Mira Behl." Viyaan smirked , " Anything." 

Anything? He's going to let me babble? Then I'll take this opportunity and bore him. 

" So , there was once a princess." I mentally laugh.

" Does the princess have a name ?"  Viyaan chuckled and asked.

" Ummm.." I rack my brains. Snow White , Aurora?

" How about Mira Behl?" he offers.

" Alright, " I relented , " There was once a Princess Mira Behl , who lived with her royal family in the far North.  She was beautiful , smart and earned her company-no kingdom , a good profit. Anyway , one day a malicious dragon came to their kingdom , his name was...V" 

" Don't you dare..." Viyaan warned , perhaps sensing my intentions.

" Arranged Marriage!!" I held my tongue out , teasing him , " And this dragon traumatized the princess , and oh , did she try to fight it !!  But , her efforts went in vain , so she called in the help of her friend , a distant Prince , he who kept his Promises and Vows , and asked him to take away the dragon." 

" And he battled it and won the princess's heart , right?" Viyaan concluded.

" As if , " I snorted , " He tamed the dragon and swallowed the princess's kingdom , and when the Princess demanded him to not do so  , he asked the princess to sign a contract with him !!!" 

" Oh , and what did he ask for ?" 

Why is he not bored yet?

" He   , uh asked for , the um , princess's hand in marriage. No wait , he yanked it from her !!" I emphasized on the word yanked. 

That's what he did ...

" And they got married and had little cute babies ,then?" 

I blushed , and shook my head. This is not the story I was weaving. 

" The princess tried , she tried the best to understand the Prince , but he was strange , sometimes cold and sometimes warm , and she then f -" 

I paused . 

" She , what??" Viyaan demanded , apparently quite engrossed in that tale. 

" Saw that the mall had come , and they lived a happily never after!" I clapped my hands and laughed at Viyaan's shocked expression. It was a silly story anyway. 

" At least end  it .." Viyaan mumbled under his breath.

" Real stories , " I tell him  , " Never end." 

We left the car in the parking , and walked to the elevator. Viyaan became unusually quite , so I tried to tease him about the cute little babies part. Seriously , that's all men think of as ending to every story , right?
