| VirMan FF:Burning Touch|NO PMS SENT #Chapter 5 - Page 7

Me, Virat Singh Vadhera. The cricket teams captain and colleges very own Casanova, I admit it, I am a player, that's only because very girl but my Mannu is a s**t in this college.

Yes, it was true, I have a crush on this girl, it was hard to accept it at first but now I can't help it, I have to let her know what I think, and soon. "Varun!" I screamed across the classroom at my friend, and he walked over to sit across the desk,"Listen, that party you're having, is it OK if I bring a friend?"

"You mean Manvi right?" He stared at me amused and I just smiled, "Pretty obvious since you're almost always with her dude", I raised my brow.

"Varun, hurry up yaar, yes or no?" I was quite eager, this was my only hope.

"Virat, I don't mind dude, but it's just she younger and different, the other guys are probably gonna get someone new to bully you know. You can bring her but she won't be safe" Of course he would be concerned, all of the other guys are jerks and the girls are wanna-be fakers. I was starting to reconsider, but I had no choice, I needed a chance to tell her. "Relax Varun, I'll take care of her" He smirked at me, he obviously knew what was going on in my mind. This was going to be perfect, I'll tell Manvi, that I want her to be my at the party when were dancing. Let's just hope everything goes well.

"Hey, have you seen Manvi?" I had asked almost two dozen people and now I was getting restless, where could she be? Of course, where else could she be? The Library, the onlytime I would come into this place would be for Manvi, she know's I hate it here but still she loves books. "Manvi!" I called across the library only to be welcomed by irritated voices, "Ssshhh" the khadus librarian glared at me and I walked to the table sitting opposite Manvi. "Listen Mannu, I am gonna pick you up today at 7, we're going to Varun's party OK" she glared at me, "What!? No!",

" Mannu, WE ARE GOING!" She couldn't refuse me and looked down frowning. "Ssshhh" I rolled my eyes at the librarian only to find her angry eyes gesturing me to leave, so I did. With Manvi ofcourse.

"Hello Vikram Uncle!" I been to Mannu's house so many times now it feels like my own.

"Virat beta, come in, Manvi is in her room getting ready" I smiled and walked towards her room "Virat, wait! I just want you to know that I want you to take good care of my daughter, I am trusting you."

"Uncle, don't worry, you know I would never let anything happened to her" He smiled widely and I took that as a cue to go and get Manvi and rushed to her room immediately.

"Mannu!" I literally ran into her room. Overexcited? A little.

Wrong timing? Very!

She was trying to pull up the zip of her dress when I barged in, she turned as soon as she heard me come in. "Viraaat! Get out!" I should ave left as soon as she said that but I couldn't take my eyes off of her. "Viraaat!!" I snapped out of it after her spending ages screaming, she had her back against the wall now, covering her unzipped dress. "Umm.. I guess you need some help", my eyes were still on her.

"Virat! I am not like those other girls and you know that! Stop acting like a pervert and get out!"

"Hey, I can't help it if you look so beautiful, I am having second thoughts on this party, why should anyone else see you like this?" I gave her my most charming smirk and watched her cheeks flush red.

Did he just say that? Was Virat Singh Vadhera flirting? With me? "You haven't lost it have you Vadhera" He let out a laugh and walked towards me, "V..Virat"

I not closed eyes think if something else dude my eyes, I was against the wall and he was obviously infront of me now, because I could feel his breath. He hand moved up to my shoulder and gripped it, turning my back towards him. I wanted to run away, but my knees weakened when he touched me 'and I couldn't even move away from him .

"Chale?" He whispered over my shoulder and into my ear, bringing me out of my trance. I nodded in positive . He took my hand in his and we walked outside to his bike. So what just happened? Virat walked into my room with me changing and helped me zip up my dress AND'I let him? What? Why? Ugh! This is so confusing!!

"What happened Virat, you're acting weird"

"No I am not, " he ignored my gaze. He IS acting weird. Holding hands? He has never done that before!

This isn't a..? No! It couldn't be, but maybe it was. Maybe, Virat had brought out on ...a date. "Umm...Virat, why are you taking me to the party? I mean you don't usually." I puckered up the courage ask him, but he kept avoiding my gaze. "Nothing, I though you'd enjoy" I frowned, I was hoping for a better answer.

OK yes, I wanted this to be a date! We have always been such close friends and the way he was acting right now, made me think we cpuld be more than friends.

"Come on Mannu," I got on behind him on his motorbike. His breath hitched as I held on to his shoulder , something was definatley up with him!

The party was at Varun's penthouse, it was huge, it was perfect for the perfect date. "Virat!" Varun called out from across the room of dancing teenagers. I walked towards him with Manvi close by side, holding on to my sleeve. "Don't be nervous Mannu, I'm right here" She smilled sweetly in return and moved closer to avoid anyone bumping into her.

"Hey Manvi, you look beautiful" Varun said and I glared, he knew I would be jealous."Varun, line maat mar, she's with me" Manvi turned to look at me and I looked back locking eyes with her until a group of friends hurdled around me.

"Virat! What is she doing here with you?"

"Virat! Buddy what took you so long?" I was bombarded with a hundred questions as soon as I walked in with Manvi . Why wouldn't I be? I was popular .. REALLY popular! It took me long enough but I finally did it, I had the reputation of our college's omething soemthign, I was known as the Casonova, the hot sports hunk .. girl's say that not me, OK.

And speaking of girls , as soon as we walked in the wanna-be Barbie dolls came and clung to me, "Viraat! You're finally here. I was waiting for you so we could dance together"

"Sorry Tia I was actually planning to dance with Manvi now... maybe later OK. " She looked at me dissapoinyed and then shot a glare at Manvi, who held me tighter in nervousness.

"Shall we go?!" I screamed over the loud music and she nodded in reply. I took her hand and we walked tpwards the dance floor, trying to get through the crowd of people surrounding us.

I took her to a spot under the disco ball, she would look even more beautiful under it's light. I payed the DJ to play a slow song, this relationship is going no-where with hard rock music!

"Manvi ..." I took her hand into mine and moved the other one up to my shoulder. I started to move her slowly to the rhythm looking into her eyes. Maybe she feels the same way?

"Virat?" "Yes Mannu?" I smiled down at her holding her even closer to my chest, wrapping one hand close around her waist. "Um, nothing" she flustered and looked down, blushing. OK Virat, time to make your move!

I held her chin up to face me as we were dancing, but she couldn't raise her eyes up to meet mine. "You know, this is what I love about you"

She looked up slightly and tightened her grip on my shoulder, "What?"

"You're not like other girls. You don't throw yourself on to me" She smiled

"Well obviously, you're no Shahrukh Khan, and listen Virat Singh Casanova, that's your misunderstanding, you think girls go after you, but its actually the other way." She was smirking smugly, typical Manvi.

"So ... you don't think I am charming enough to fall for?" I pulled her closer to me as I said that forcing her too look up into my eyes. "No Mr Vadhera, you aren't" Oh so that how you want to play? "Fine Chaudrain, I'll show how far Virat Singh Vadhera's charms can go" I leaned closer to and cupped her face with my hand. Our eyes were interlocked, Manvi's were sparkling. My nose touched hers and our lips were inches away, I could feel my heartbeat get faster..

But of course it was over before it started, because before I knew, I was standing among two of my friends being pulled to the bar. Way to ruin the perfect moment. "Guys! I told you I am here with Manvi!"

"As in, on a date?"They looked surprised, "What' wrong with you man! Listen, you're the school's leading sport's player, don't get serious about girls right now. Continue playing around like you and everything will be fine." I knew all that but my Mannu was different.

"Listen guys, I have get back to her OK and relax everything will be fine"

I went back to her to explain

"Listen Mannu, I am gonna spend some time with my friends. You don't mind do you?" So far this wasn't going well, my friends were suspicious and as a result acting like typical 'Kabab mein haddi's'. "No Virat, you go on, I'll just sit here until then" She smiled.
