While protecting you.....(mayur FF!)PART1:Pg2

"Sir, I've been following the girl for the past month. I can smell danger at its highest now", said the first to the other. "I trust you to protect her. That's why I assigned you for this case. It is very important for you to bring success", said the second to the first. "Yes, sir. The enemies have found her. They will attack soon." The older man sighed. "Do what you can. But save her. Protect her." He ended with moist eyes. The younger male nodded his head, saluted and left.

The glass chandelier on the ceiling was lighting the grand hall filled with royalty. In exquisite gowns, formal tux suites, everybody looked royalty tonight. It was a grand affair after all. A big high class party with champagne bottles and expensive wine being served by the well dressed waiters. From the doors two females made their entrance who were both royally dressed. The first one looked a little nervous. But nobody could skip looking at those innocent eyes with a light smoky eye shadow and just the right amount of ruche on those lovely cheeks. Dressed in a royal looking champagne colored dress with the back being completely bare and her hair in a romantic up-do with just the right amount of curls framing this beautiful female's face, started talking nervously to her friend anjali who was looking equally beautiful in her pink sparkly gown. "I still don't think this is a good idea anjali", she said to her friend smiling nervously at someone. "Just shut up nupur! Go with the flow. Rahul will be so happy to see us", said anjali to nupur. "Rahul will be really happy to see YOU! He is your boyfriend! Not mine." said nupur in an angry whisper. "You really need to chill girl! Come on lets go find rahul!" said anjali after finally spotting Rahul.

They both walked towards Rahul unaware of the eyes on them. Four pairs of eyes on the lady in the champagne colored dressed. A pair that sent vibes of protection and a pair that sent vibes of murder. Both the gentlemen, well dressed in formal tux suites kept close to their aim, be it to protect or harm.

"Come on nupur! This wine is not going to do anything to you! Just try a little bit!" coaxed anjali. "fine!" nupur finally gave up and tried a little. "hmm not bad" she said after taking a sip. "See I told you you'll like it!" said anjali in a victorious tone.

"You really like this wine don't you?" said anjali walking up to nupur who was having her third glass now. "yeah..i'do..", nupur slurred out the words. "I want to go and get some fresh air" said nupur now feeling a little dizzy. " are you okay?" asked anjali concerned. "Yes I'm perfectly fine. You go dance with rahul", she said walking out the door. A man followed suite.

She continued walking. She walked a little further until she could hear nothing but the grasshoppers in that starry night. She sighed. It was so peaceful now. She wasn't used to such high class parties. She was an orphan so all she remembered were the cheap but cute parties they had.

Her face was shining by the light illuminated by the moon. Her face looked serene and at peace. But that peace was replaced by a look of shock and panic as someone covered her mouth with a cloth that made her head spin and eyes go into a state of half consciousness. Then she felt the rough hold on her waist being removed and something that sounded as deadly but silent at the same time' a gun! Then she felt a different hold on her waist, more like a possession claimed than a rough one. "Oh God! What is happening?" This was the last thought that Nupur had before slipping into the darkness and fainting unconscious in the arms of her rescuer!

awesum start

"Take it easy", a husky male voice whispered. She slowly opened her eyes to the handsome hunk in front of her. God, was he hot- thought nupur. She quickly scolded herself for inviting such vile thoughts! But he was sexy, no doubt! Wait who is he? And where am I? The more rational Nupur started pondering.

She finally spoke," who are you? And what am I doing here?" "Miss, I am mayank khanna. And I'd like to remind you that last night at the party'." tried mayank but before he could continue she spoke "Party! What in the world happened at the party? And who the hell are you? Why are you touching me? What am I doing here? Where is anjali?" she bombarded him with questions. Then he noticed his hands which were right at the corner of her breasts and mind you it looked very intimate. Mayank felt extremely embarrassed and quickly moved his hands away from her and started explaining to the angelic figure that lay before him. She looked like a damsel in distress.

"Listen miss, I am mayank khanna and I've been assigned to protect you from a mafia group that has been after you. Last night at the party something was mixed in your wine that made you extra tipsy. The member of the mafia present there tried to attack you once you walked out but I got him just in time. Now, I would really like you to co-operate because I have no intentions of harming you whatsoever." He completed quite convincingly.

"Mafia'.. huh? Umm.. I'm just wondering ..but why the hell would the mafia be after me?" she said completely confused. "Its because they want to get back at your father through you", he said matter of factly. "Whoa whoa. Hold on there tough guy! I don't have a father! I mean'. I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was born. So you have the wrong girl", she said. "Miss nupur, your father is very much alive and kept you away from him in order to keep you protected but somehow the mafia was able to track you down so now I have to protect you", said mayank. "Wait, so you're saying that my father is alive? And you think that I'll believe you? Do I really look that stupid to you?" she said. "Look miss, we don't have a lot of time on our hands. So I recommend you to get up now because you've been out since last night. Your friend anjali must be extremely worried. So the first thing that I am requesting you to do is call her up and tell her you are safe, Tell her that you're with one of your old friends who you bumped into at the party last night and now you're going to Italy with him", said mayank.

Nupur just took her head in her hands. She just couldn't digest so many shocking news in one go! She just found out that she wasn't an orphan! And that the mafia was after her! And the handsome hunk in front of her was given the job of protecting her and she was supposed to go to Italy with him?! Italy! She always wanted to go there! And now that she was finally going' she didn't know how to react, considering the present situation. Oh! She felt like crying. And to top it all off her head hurt! She started sobbing with so much going on!

Mayank saw her looking totally depressed. He wasn't really good at consoling either. He just wasn't used to women that much. And he preferred to stay away from them. But then when he heard her quiet sobs he couldn't take it any more. Mayank always tried to be hard up front but he really was a total softie at heart and the moment he saw her crying he sat along side her on the bed.

"Umm'listen you don't have to cry. I promise I'll keep you safe", he said whatever came in his mind. He really didn't know what one was supposed to say when they see someone crying. "Here", he said handing her his handkerchief. "Thanks", she said wiping her face with it. She calmed down for a while and then again started crying wailing louder this time. Mayank looked at her shocked at her sudden change of emotions!

"Shh'don't cry' please", said mayank lightly brushing her arms. Suddenly she jerked up and hugged him tight! He was taken aback by the sudden show of affection but then kicked himself for such thoughts! The woman needed comfort! So he decided to gently caress her hair and pat her bare back. Her body pressed so intimately and so close to him made him lose his mind. Her beautiful fragrance was intoxicating him.
