FF- Against All The Odds - 32nd UPDATE page 123 - Page 90

James raises his hand, touching the back of his head his well defined lips curled in a nervous smile, and then he turns his head and looks at his friend "wait a sec!"

Then he shrugs and reluctantly offers his hand again, sighing and gazing Tina's face with curiosity "Hi" he says softly
Tina looks at his stretched arm hesitantly and then raises her hand lowering her gaze trying to avoid James eyes, but as he embraces her soft delicate and cool fair hand in his big dark warm hand with it's long artistic fingers Tina's heart start to race and her gaze immediately flies from the sight of their intertwined contrasting colored hands up to his face and as their eyes meet they both pause again drowned in each other's gaze yet again and their hearts start to pound like crazy

James feels that his mouth suddenly become very dry, and he felt her soft flesh though it was cold; burning his skin!
Tina's face turns bright red and her hazel eyes become lighter now as she feels a tingling sensation sweeping through her from his long dark fingers touching her hand so gently to her arms and direct to her guts!

Piya watches them with a surprised look, oh no! Not again! She thought, and this goes on for another few minutes till one of his friends yells his name again
He leaves her hand swallowing and wondering; what has just happened! While Tina lowers her gaze feeling a slightly burning sensation on her hands and cheeks what's going on! She thought

Piya smiles wow! Did they have a sparkly moment or what! looking at Tina's flushed face and then at James.
She looks at them with an amused smile and she felt that she has to putt in so she says with a he smile "Tina this is my new friend James de Silva, whom I told you about and James this is my new friend Tina Singh"

Tina rubs her face gently looking at Piya trying to regain her breath, a bit confused about her reaction to this total stranger's gaze and touch

James sighs looking at Tina a bit nervous while Tina lowers her gaze again now trying to avoid his dark eyes that now were gleaming although, he wasn't standing close but His scent filled her senses and for the first time a man's scent didn't repulsed her, on the contrary she found it very appealing

He moist his dry lips with his tongue and says "nice to meet you, I better go now, my friends are waiting" he points to his friends and then walks away.

Piya looks at Tina who looked very nervous playing with the spoon
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah!" her hands were trembling as she plays with the spoon what's going on with me why am I shaken like this! Tina thought
Piya holds her hand smiling "relax"
"Let's go from here!" she snaps
"But we haven't finished our dessert yet" says Piya looking at her a bit astonished
Tina's face was now blood red "God! are you alright? you look very flushed"
"Let's just get out of here please! We can go somewhere else to have some tea or coffee"
"Ok sure just relax"

Soon she pays the bill and as they were heading towards the door "hey Piya!" calls James as he stands and walks towards them, Tina tries to walk away without looking at him, her heart start to beat fast again

"We are going to play bowling later, care to join us?" says James his eyes fixated on Tina but she was looking away, Piya looks at Tina and she moves her lips in a silent NO!
"Thanks James, maybe another time"
"What about you Tina?" he says softly

Tina felt her name sounded very different, and somehow she liked it! She sighs and tries to have a grip on her hay wire emotions
come on I am a confident girl! She reminds her self, so she looks at him and says calmly "no thanks I have never played it before"

He smiles flashing a perfect set of white teeth "it's easy I can teach you"
"No thanks, I am not interested" she was trying hard to sound casual but her voice was a bit quivering now, his gaze affecting her

"Not interested in what exactly? Going out with me or bowling?" he says his eyes very playful now just like his voice

Her flushed face amused him, he was feeling a strong unexplainable attraction towards her, her eyes were like magnets drawing him closer to her, and the wit and the challenge that were so obvious in those wide hazel eyes with a shade of green were daring him, yet there was a deep sadness lingered in them with so much innocence especially when she blushed that made him feel an overwhelming sense of affection that made him feel protective of this beautiful stranger

The way she was making him feel was a whole new experience for James! And he couldn't quite comprehend it, all he felt that he wanted to be with her! and to spend some time with her to know her better!

James is what one can call a lady's man, as it never was difficult for him to get any girl he sets his mind on and it never was a hard task either, as girls usually allured to him, but yet the blaze the innocent looks of Tina was setting in him was no match to any of his previous conquests, her mere gaze and a simple hand shake made his heart race like crazy making him breathless and overwhelmed with excitement

He looks at her beautiful makeup-less flushed face with curiosity trying to figure out her age, and he couldn't think beyond 17! And his amused smile annoys her

Tina wanted to say some thing witty to wipe that smug look on his face but her mind was not with her and she felt weird
all she knew that she wanted to get away from him to think straight and be her normal self again.

"I guess Both" she blurts the words bluntly without giving it a second thought
He chuckles and puts his hands to his sides and bend his head a bit "ouch! Thank you!"
Piya looks at James and then at Tina surprised, as she was sure that Tina is a very sweet girl and well mannered girl, who wouldn't behave so rudely and this was so unlike her

Tina grabs Piya's hand and murmurs "bye" and then drags her out while James stands there astonished!

As they get inside the car, Piya starts to laugh softly
"What?" says Tina
"You should see your face and your eyes are now very much lighter"
"Oh God!" she looks at her own reflection in the rear view mirror
"Don't worry i have seen Abhay's eyes change shades too, sometimes they're lighter and sometimes darker" Piya says with a blush
"So I guess he told you about the reasons!" says Tina nervously
"No but I figured it out! When he is happy or passionate they become lighter and when angry or sad they become darker! So I guess the same applies to you" says Piya humoring her

"I know about that but I don't understand, I am not happy nor I am err..feeling.." she gulps
Piya giggles "If you say so"
"Seriously! I don't know what is it? I have never experienced such a thing before"

Piya looks at her nervous face with affection as she understood her dilemma perfectly! This was something she never experienced before so she still didn't get that she is attracted to James devilish and witty charm
"Don't worry you will figure it out! By the way you have very beautiful eyes" says Piya trying to shift her mind

Tina smiles nervously Sighing "thanks sweetie, where shall we go now do you know any good cafe?"
Piya's mobile rings and it was Misha
"Hey Mish what's up?"
"Piya help!"
"What's wrong Mish?"
"It's Panchi she has locked her self inside her room she was screaming and on a breaking spree now I can't hear her! Please come maybe she listens to you"
"Why what happened?"
"I don't have any clue! All I know it has something to do with Danish and I am alone here I don't want to call mom and dad they went off to Delhi"
"But Mish I am out with Tina"
"Bring her along! Panchi always acts in a more rational way in front of strangers"

Piya looks at Tina and tells her the situation "sorry Tina do you mind?"
"Not at all, it will be nice to meet your friends" she says with a soft smile, in fact she welcomed it, as she was keen to do anything that will shift her mind from that dark handsome stranger!

As they reach Dobrial's residence a servant guides them to Misha

Misha was standing outside Panchi's room
"Birdie please open the door! Ok at least reply back to me so I know you are ok!" they greet Misha
"Hey Mish still no response!"
"Panchi it's me Piya please open the door" she rests her ear on the door "I can't hear a sound
"Allow me" says Tina
"Panchi this is Tina! Remember me! Open the door Hun if your upset with your Boyfriend tell me what he did
And I will help you kick his butt and trust me I can I have few black belts in martial arts!"
Piya and Misha look at her their jaw dropped then Piya giggles and the door opens
Panchi looks at Tina wiping her tears "hi, you are Abhay's friend right?" Tina shakes hands with her "yeah and now Piya's too"

To Piya's and Misha's surprise Tina holds Panchi's hand and leads her to sit on the sofa like she is her friend "now tell us what did your stupid boyfriend do?"
Panchi looks at her with a frown and protests sniffing "he is not stupid!"
Tina giggles "sorry"
"Oh WOW! You don't like it when someone calls him stupid! you guys should have listened to what she was calling him some times ago, she didn't leave any curse words out from the dictionary" says Misha laughing

"Shut up Misha!" says Panchi
"But you were cursing him with the worst adjectives and.."
Piya holds Misha arm asking her to stop

"Do you want me to send these kidos out? So we can talk more openly" SAYS Tina in a serious tune

"Kidos huh! For you kind information we are 17 and half! And we won't go out we are staying! I too want to know what the big oaf did to her! I swear if he did any thing wrong, I will kick his butt too" says Misha irritated

Tina smiles "hey sweetie my intent wasn't to insult you! But I though perhaps its a serious matter, so we grown up should handle it"

"Hey guys don't let your imagination run wild! he didn't do a shameful thing" says Panchi with a blush on her face

"He, he just forgot our anniversary and went out with the boys although he went out with them two days ago too! The jerk! I have planned this evening for us from a week ahead I even booked a table for us in a romantic place to surprise him and I got him a gift too and he just simply forgot" she says tears gathering in her eyes

Tina looks at her dumfounded "anniversary! You guys are married?"
Misha and Piya giggle

"No silly! Panchi has anniversary for every silly thing she did with that loser! From their first meeting to their first date to the first time he held her hand or told her I love you! Or maybe kissed her etc etc etc, she is such an attention seeking bird!" Panchi glares Misha with anger

"Misha stop it" says Piya
Tina giggles clapping "this is so, so sweet and romantic"

Piya and Misha look at her amused, Misha swirls her finger pointing to her head "?weet! Duh! Your friend is a total nut job just like birdie"

"So why are you sulking and feeling bad while he is having all the fun? You know what! You should be like him partying too

Let's go out for a girl's night out" Tina says clapping
Piya thought that was a good idea as it will cheer Panchi
"Where would we go?" says Misha
"How about a club? Where we can dance and let out all the steam"
"A club! But tomorrow we have college! We can't stay late"
"We don't need to stay late" says Tina

Panchi's eyes suddenly twinkle "you know what! Let's go to blue rays"
"That would be nice it's the best place around here" says Tina excited
"But that's where Abhay and the boys are" says Piya without thinking

"Yeah I know! I want to show Danish that I too don't care and am having great time! But hey how did they know that they are there?" says Panchi

Piya becomes nervous as both Misha and Panchi look at her skeptically now
But Tina comes to rescue "I told her as Abhay told me they will be there"
Piya sighs in relief, Tina winks smiling at her

"Hmm you know what! It will be a fabulous idea let's go there! Then you can show your stupid boyfriend oops sorry! What he is missing and you know what let me dress you girls up tonight, tonight girls you all will look hot and sexy."
Piya feels reluctant as he wasn't sure use wanted to go although she was missing Abhay and liked to see him but he was there with the boys
"Hey you guys go I can't I .."
Tina holds her arms "no excuses! You are coming! Now show me what you girls have in your wardrobes" Panchi now smiling shows her

Tina shakes her head "you have some cute outfits but they are not sexy enough, what about you Misha?"
Panchi and Piya giggle
"Forget it; she has a wardrobe of a boy"

Mish gets irritated and mimics Panchi's words

Tina giggles "Know what! I have some stunning out fits in my car I used them for a photo shoot, we can wear them all I am sure I have something for all of you"
"I don't think your dresses fit us Tina especially me! You have such a beautiful figure! You are so tall and very slim" says Panchi frowning

"Nonsense! You all have beautiful figures and trust me they will fit, You will see!" she says that smilingly and walks outside the room
"Do you need a hand?
"Thank you but I will ask for one of the servants help"

Tina seemed very excited and Piya somehow felt she knew why; as she told her except for Abhay, she never had any real friends so now being with her and the girls somehow she is opening up and

enjoying being with them all

Soon she comes followed by a Servant both were having handfuls if outfits flowed by Ruhi!

"Hey girls how come you didn't tell me that you girls are having a party" says Ruhi and everyone laugh
Tina throws the cloths on the bed

"Come sweetie you will be going with us too, and now let the fun begin"

Tina encourages them to try different outfits and different looks and do cat walking, one at a time while she turns on a loud catchy music

As the girls change to sexy revealing outfits along with Tina
Tina shows them how to do a catwalk like a true professional model and she also demonstrates how to dance seductively too
they all laugh trying to walk like her and dance like her cheering, whistling and clapping for each others and having so much fun while catching all that on a video.

In the evening and precisely at half past 7pm ; as Danish has told Panchi that they will be at the club at 7pm "I don't think it's a good idea" says Panchi hesitantly

They all were still seated in Panchi's car out side the night club

"I agree" says Piya gulping and holding her mini red top that was only covering her chest leaving the rest of her belly down to the hips exposed and the low waist mini skirt was way too short for anything she has worn before; she was very self conscious for exposing her fair well defined belly, thighs and legs

"It's ok huns, why are you guys worried?" says Tina reassuring them
"We shouldn't be alone here, after all we are only girls, these places proves to be dangerous for girls we should have brought Kabir with us at least, I know he isn't with the boys! As Danish said he refused to go along! Hey Mish why don't you call him and ask him to meet us here"
"Don't mention the name of that loser! I won't speak with him"
"Why? what did he do?" ask both Ruhi and Piya
"I had a fight with him, I just don't want to talk with him!"
"Misha so what's new? you always fight with him, ever since you both were kids! Come on now call him"
"Hell I will!" says Misha a hyped voice
"Ok fine I will" says Panchi
"If you do, I swear I will go back home" says Misha irritated
"ok God! Sometimes you are just a real pain!"

"Hey girls relax and let's get in, I am no less then a boy, trust me when I am around no one can mess with you guys, I wasn't kidding when i said I have black belts in many forms of martial arts! And you know what! you girls should learn them too, they prove to be very handy to keep those pathetic boys into their limits"

Piya gets amazed at Tina's over confidence attitude and then she recalls how she looked like a little shy and nervous girl in front of James! Hmm Shall I tell her that he is inside or not? She thought

Tina realizes that the girl weren't taking her seriously except for Piya, so she continues "beside Abhay, Danish are inside too, so we can call for their help, and there are bouncers all around the place too, so no worries babes, and let's have some fun yay!" she cheers giggling

And finally the 5 girls with their sexy seductive out fits, fine hear dos and flawless makeup walk inside the club

"Let's boogie" yells Misha
heads turn towards them as they make a path through the dancing crowd and start to dance

Soon the consciousness of their revealing skimpy outfits vanish as the girls start enjoying themselves dancing on the floor
But Panchi wasn't that much into it, as her eyes were searching for Danish

Piya knew that they were inside the new hall created for pool games aka billiard and snooker, that was newly built on the third floor and added as a new attraction to the building
She looks up and it can be seen as it was hovering over the dance floor like a rounded glass bowl it had three pool tables set in it as Abhay told her

Panchi was dancing, but her eyes were searching and so were Piya's as she wasn't sure how will Abhay reacts once he sees her dressed like this dancing carefree

While Tina, Misha & Ruhi were unbothered as they dance, she notices that both Misha and Tina danced very well while Ruhi's steps were very cute

After a while in the pool room "hey James it's your turn now" says Danish
James was talking with Kabir and was looking down the dance floor From the glass wall and he notices Piya as she was now out of the dance floor sipping a glass of water to cool off

"Hey isn't that Piya?" says James and Kabir looks down "yes that's her and hey there is Panchi, Misha, Ruhi and who is that fifth girl! dancing with Misha Isn't that Tina?"

Upon hearing that both Danish and Abhay come closer to the wall and look down too
What the hell! Abahy's gaze gets fixated on Piya! What are you doing here? and why are you dressed up like that!

Angad looks down too and he smiles when he notices Ruhi

James gaze search for Tina and then he spots her, she was dancing and laughing care-freely with the girls
His mouth becomes dry, and he couldn't move his eyes off of her although he couldn't see her that clearly from the third floor

"Wow look at them dance" says Kabir
"Ruhi looks fab" says Angad with dreamy eyes
"And you could see this from up here? Wow you have superman's eyes!"
Danish becomes agitated "what are they doing here? You boys carry on" he tells the rest and he leaves the room followed by Kabir, Angad and Abhay

James wanted to follow their league and go down too but he controls his urge! All of them had a reason to go down to the girls what will be his? He thinks for a second then he gets an idea
"Hey where are you going?" says one of his friends
"I want to stretch my legs and dance a bit, you carry on"

Upon reaching the girls, Angad reaches out for Ruhi and starts to dance with her
James stands a little far away watching Tina dance waiting for the right moment to approach her

Danish seemed irritated too as he holds Panchi's arm and drags her away from the dancing floor
"What are you doing here?" he demands angrily
"Enjoying my self with the girls obviously! You go and enjoy your self or may be you thought only you can have fun and a boy's night out!"
"What's wrong? Why are you behaving like this? It's not that I go out with the boys' everyday? Why are you making a big issue of it?"

Misha and Kabir follow them, ignoring each other
"Hey big brother you are in a big trouble" Says Misha
"Why what did I do!" says Danish impatiently

"DUH! You forgot your anniversary, whatever that means" Misha giggles

Kabir looks at Misha smilingly and Misha looks away so he holds her arm and drags her Away

Dansih looks at Panchi and shakes his head in disbelief "is this all about that? That's why you were cold with me today and now came here to get back at me! but you know what you're wrong! Today's isn't our confession anniversary it's tomorrow! Seems you are the one who forgot! Tomorrow is the day that we both confessed our love for each other not today! Today's date is when I asked you for our first date but tomorrow is what we celebrate And I have planned to surprise you with a romantic dinner and now you have spoiled it!" he says and shrugs and then Walks away in anger
Panchi looks at him stunned and then runs after him realizing her own mistake!

Meanwhile Kabir drags Misha to a corner
"Kabir leave my hand! What do you want?"
He gives her a cute smile flaunting his dimples "are you still angry with me?"
"Yeah I don't want to talk with you!" he puts his arms around her neck
"You can't be serious! This is me Kabir! Remember, we can't stay upset from each other for long" she gulps

"How come you are here? I thought you and Abhay are in verge of killing each other!"

"Danish insisted that I come and that we patch up and James made a truce between us, so we are cool for now and hey by the way you were right!"

"About what?" says Misha puzzled
"I thought about what you said the other day though it really hurt me! And as much as I hate to admit this But you were right about me not being serious about any girl"
"and how did you come to this conclusion?" she says eager to know
"It didn't need rocket science! I looked upon all of my pervious relationships and I realized that once I got the girl smitten I lost the interest in her, and hey that day we both said hurtful things so I am sorry if I hurt you, I don't feel relaxed knowing that you are upset with me, so are we cool now?"
Misha twitches her lips and looks away he smiles and holds her chin so she faces him making puppy eyes and she giggles "are we cool Mish?"

She nods "What about Tina?"
"What about her?"
She gulps" are you still interested in her"

He looks at Tina who was dancing and smiles "she is very beautiful and I must say I was smitten by her flawless beauty but she is out of my league, she is a graduate and an established super model while I am still a student beside I think she is a year or two older then me and she doesn't live around here, and I don't believe in long distant relationship as they usually don't work! So why should I persuade her" he smiles Misha's jaw drops she couldn't believe that this was the same Kabir
"Wow what came up into you! From where did you get this sudden struck of wisdom?"

He chuckles "I happen to be friends with a smart and funny girl who is not only grounded but also stands up for her friends sometimes even against them for their own good but What I like the most about her is that she doesn't take crap from anyone"

She blushes "yeah yeah now don't butter me up"
He smiles and says "by the way you look very different tonight, you never seize to surprise me nowadays Mish! I never dreamt I would say this to you but seriously you look hot and sexy tonight"
Misha blushes "shut up Kabir!"

Misha was wearing a short top and a mini skirt like Piya but her were black and with mat finished black and dark grey sequence scattered all over it
He chuckles and offers her his arm "come my lovely lady, I want to dance with you"
She sighs and slides her hand inside his arm feeling so relived as for the past two days she was so restless Not being able to talk with him

Meanwhile Abhay gives Piya a furious look checking her skimpy out fit Tina looks at Abhay with a huge smile while Piya gets nervous from his glare and stops dancing
"Hey Abhay" says Tina and then she grabs his arm and pulls him towards Piya "come on dance with her" she winks

Abhay looks around to make sure none of them around, and then holds her arm dragging her across the crowd to the other end and straight to the garden "what the hell are you girls doing here? And why are you wearing such an outfit? He angrily snaps his eyes narrowed and his lips twitched
Piya gets taken back as she wasn't expecting such a reaction from him

She gulps and nervously says "we came to cheer Panchi up she was feeling down, and didn't you like my out fit its Tina's?"
Abahy sighs deeply, some men pass by and they starts to stare at Piya now that she were standing alone her outfit is noticeable but inside the dance floor she somehow blended with the crowd
Abhay glare them

Then he notices that Danish was coming towards the garden followed by Panchi who was trying to reconcile with him for the misunderstanding

Abhay quickly grabs her and hide behind a tree, he was very close to her she inhales his scent deeply and it dazzles her senses, "They are gone" says he, then lowers his head looking down at her you look so beautiful you take my breath away he thought, and then he holds her arm "come with me" he goes to the other end of the garden "hold on" he sweeps her in his arms and then jumps high and lands on top of the building the thrill makes her laugh feeling a but dizzy and her heart racing

He let's her stand on her feet now both are facing each other on top of the second floor and it was kind of breezy
"So you didn't like it?" she feels disappointed he checks her out with his intense grey eyes from her head to her glowing face that had a bit different makeup then the way she does it most of the time, down to her nail polished toes that were visible through her high heeled fashionable red sandals

His eyes get fixated in some certain areas like her face and lips, her plunging neck line and her flat belly to her thighs and legs, she stands still, her breath rhythm becomes irregular and her heart rate faster she felt as though he was touching her

His eyes were lighter and brighter and gleaming or maybe it was the effect of the neon lights that were fixed on the out lines of the building that causing it, she thought

He closes his eyes for brief seconds and then swallows and says "I love it, but that's not the point! The point is I don't like you wearing such outfits in public! Have you noticed how men are looking at you! Who are you trying to impress! This isn't you!"
Her heart was dancing now so he feels jealous and he is possessive about her she smiles nervously and shyly
"I wore this to impress just one guy, a guy whom I am mad about"

He sighs and comes closer to her with a beautiful smile, and holds her from her naked waist she gasps as his warm hands grab her almost cold skin, sending tingling sensation through her sensitive veins
He feels his heart was becoming faster "you don't have to impress me, I am already crazy for you even if you were all covered with an old rug!"

She laughs softly, his smile widen and he bends his head so their foreheads get in touch with each other "you have an exquisite kind of beauty do you know that? You don't need to do all this to look hot"

His endearment sends a shiver in her spine "Abhay I know what I am! I am no beauty queen so please don't"
He lifts up his head and smiles deeply flaunting his dimples

"You are the first girl I have seen that feels insulted when a guy tells her how beautiful she is!"

"Maybe I am not one of those girls who have inflated false ego, or delusional self image, don't get me wrong, I am confident enough to know that I have good looks and some how one might say I am pretty, but I know I am no beauty queen"

"That's not for you to decide! You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen"

She chuckles nervously "if you keep on saying it, I might soon believe it too"

His eyes narrow and he pulls her closer making her gasp
"Piya Jaiswal! Are you accusing me of lying?"
"Yepe" she says teasing him
"Then I have to prove you wrong, can't you see how your beauty is affecting me?" he says in a playful tune holding her hand and then pressing it on his own chest where his heart was pounding like crazy!

She swallows feeling his racing heart beat "it's not my beauty that affects you it's the love that you feel, it's your feelings"

"It's both my little innocent and beautiful angel Piya, beside what one person finds appealing another might not, every man has his own preferences; don't you know that? And you my love, fill mine in every way with the tiniest details of yours, so yeah I find you the most beautiful girl I have ever seen"

His words make her breathless and his logic was unarguable.
He let go of her waist and then holds both of her hands in his own bringing them up to his face he rubs his parted lips over them

"Everything about you drives me crazy! Do you know that? Your hair, your seductive eyes, your nose, your sweet lips, the way you feel in my arms, your scent, you voice and the way you talk and tease me and make me laugh! The way you care about me or feel jealous, You Piya fill me heart with never ending joy, I love you so much"

His words fill her heart with warmth and she hugs him tightly he embraces her in his strong arms "I love you more then life Abhay"

They hold each other for sometimes then he pushes her away gently and brushes his lips gently over her mouth being careful not to mess up her lipstick "I think you should get back before your friends start to miss you"

She nods "hey I noticed Kabir was here, so did you both patch up?"

He nods "yes don't worry we are cool" and she smiles in relief

Piya feels reluctant to tell Abhay about how Tina reacted to James, and then she thinks its better she doesn't tell him now, and let it be!

Abhay holds her in his arms and then looks down and then jumps she feels a ticklish sensation that makes her laugh loudly and he laughs to her laughter

Meanwhile inside the hall, upon noticing that Tina was alone now James approaches her "Hi" says James looking at Tina who was dancing with a cute smile on her face like she was really enjoying her self

As she notices him, Tina freezes and stops dancing! Her smile's fade away and he comes closer to her, he was aware that he affects her the same way that she does, his heart beat was becoming faster like he was running, as he stands facing her, his dark eyes sparkling

"Would you like to dance with me?" says he smiling

Tina recollects her self, good God! She should have expected that he would be here too! she tries to sound calm and causal and then says with a breathless voice due to her dancing "no thank you, I think I have danced enough, I have to take a break!" she says that and leaves the dance floor, James follows her and looks around for her but to his surprise she seems she has just vanished! And he gets stunned!

Little he knew that Tina was out of the club and was running away in the woods, till she feels that she cant breath, she sits on a branch of a tree catching her breath, she rubs her flushed face, this has to stop!! She thought with a disturbed mind

The next day and later in the night, Piya was waiting with anguish for Abhay's call sitting in her room, she hasn't seen Abhay all day long as he called her in the morning and said he has to go somewhere, and he called her in the evening and told her that he will call her later

She sighs and curses her luck, and how ironic that it is! now that they are together he always has to do some errands for his dad, and when they weren't together he always was around

Her mobile rings and she rushes picking it with a huge smile "Hello Abhay"
"Sorry sweetheart! It's James!"
"Oh! Hi James" She says feeling disappointed
"Hey am I bothering you? Are you busy? Or something?"
"Not at all"

"Ah ok I just wanted to ask you a favor, I was hesitant to ask you since yesterday"
She smiles "let me guess this favor has something to do with Tina right?"
"Was I that obvious?" he chuckles
"Aha! The only thing that you didn't do, my friend is drool!" she giggles

He smirks "Hey trust me I usually don't behave in this manner! But I don't know ever since I saw her yesterday I just can't take my mind off of her it's like I am bewitched! Its like she reminds me of someone and that we have this connection!"

Piya grins "is that so? So the fact that she is extremely beautiful and a Super model has nothing to do with how you feel eh?"

"Is she a model?! See I didn't even know that! I thought she is like you a freshman student!"

Piya laughs "dude she has a B.com!"
"Wow at this age how come? And agreed she is very beautiful but I have seen many beautiful girls and have been with allots of them too! and trust me the way she looks has nothing to do with how I feel" he sounded very sincere
"How you feel! Wow James have you fallen for her? But you have just met her?"
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" says he with anguish
"I kind of believe in it!" says Piya

"I never did! I swear! But now I feel I do, I think I am falling in love with your friend! Though I barely know her! I know that sounds lame! But I can't explain it any other way! Did she talk about me?" he says eagerly his voice filled with anguish

She smiles she didn't want to tell him about her reaction she didn't want to putt in "all I know that she suddenly decided that she will cut her trip short and go back to Delhi she would have left today but she didn't get booking! this is what she told me today morning"

"What! She can't do that! Please do something and let her stay till the camping trip!"
"Ok I will try! But I can't promise you! As she seems she has made up her mind! I guess you made quite a bad impression on her" Piya humors him
"Really! But I didn't do anything! Does she have a boyfriend?"

"As far as I know no she doesn't, she is a close friend of Abhay by the way, that's how I know her"

"I see! But then why do you think I made a bad impression on her? What did she say?" he says with a worried tune
"Nothing she just became edgy and wanted to leave and told me that she might leave to Delhi tomorrow"

"No! Please call her now and make her stay please can you do that for a friend!"
"Sure I will try! But hey I warn you if you did any thing to hurt her, you will have to deal with me and Abhay too"
"Why would you think I would do something like that Piya? I have no such intentions, I might be a flirt and have known many girls but I never deceived an innocent girl in my whole life nor I promised them more then what I really meant, I was always honest from the beginning"

James is not an innocent or inexperienced boy; although he was right as he never deceived a girl by promising her more then what he really wanted out of the relationship, so no lies and no pretending, though he respects the opposite sex allot but he has been with many girls before, sometimes extremely beautiful too, and he could get what he wanted without much effort, and would go all the way taking them to bed if he chooses to, such was his believes and his way of life.

Piya felt that James sounded very sincere but he still doesn't know that she is a vampire but she still didn't want to say or do anything that might compromise Tina's chance for finding her own special someone at last

"I know dear James, you seem like a nice guy, but you can understand my concern too, Tina is like family to Abhay"

"There is nothing to worry about, trust me, so will you call her?"

Piya sighs "sure I will give it a try but no promises"

"Thank you I will be waiting for your call!" he could have called her himself but since the girl was obviously avoiding him he knew that she wont talk to him
