Chapter two: B for Beauty, B for Bliss Err... and Bitch!!
Sending a wary glance to the sleeping figure he slipped out of the room and headed towards the hotel lounge to have a light breakfast before going to the reception.
It was his cousin brother's marriage and he had dodged all the invitations of Sagai, Sangeet and other taam-jhaams' as he called the pre-wedding and wedding rituals in common.
But there was no way he could pass this one as his uncle and aunt had given their oath and had lectured him in length that how it is important for him and for them, his presence in this vast gathering as close their family. He sighed ruefully. He hates gathering and crowd full with fake people, period.
He entered the dining area. Aiming the extreme corner table for his quiet and undisturbed morning meal he started walking to that direction.
About 2-3 steps away from his table he noticed a petite figure already seated on the next table, head deep buried in a book held in her right hand when a coffee mug stayed firmly gripped by its broad handle in her left, only her burgundy hair visible.
For reason unknown the figure seemed familiar to him and soon he knew why?
As he took the next step part of her face came in his view and pleasantly surprised he saw it was the same girl form last night, in whose room he had been caught in a very controversial state by none other than her and who was decent enough to not create any ruckus about that and leave him without even a bitter word, rather looking herself guilty to even find herself there in middle of that situation.
He chuckled recalling her red face and running visage like the hounds of hell were after her. Crazy! He shook his head thinking of the absurdity of the situation as he sat in one of the chairs of the same table he had aimed earlier.
**
Placing his order quietly he shot a side glance in her direction. She was so engrossed in that book that she didn't even notice him till now.
He noticed that she was wearing a high-low printed island blue maxi dress with her open mid-length thick hair falling on her face form either side covering her face from his view mostly, still he didn't have any difficulty form recognizing her as the girl from last night.
As an instinctual act his eyes swept over her from and what he saw pleased him. He couldn't help but glance over her long crossed partly bare mostly hidden legs more than once.
Slender and long, milky and glistening.
He felt his body heating as he appreciated the length and beauty of her legs and mentally chided himself, "Raizada control! You don't even know how she looks like exactly." And as if in answer of his confuse mind she looked up and his breath hitched. 'She is a beauty to behold' all he could think.
With glowing milky white skin, large dazzling chocolate brown eyes, straight sharp nose and kissable pink lips, the girl was stunningly gorgeous.
He could hear someone say in his head "Raizada tu toh giyo!" (Raizada you are dead!)
And boy he was bowled no doubt! Just clean bowled!
**
She frowned feeling something odd as if, as if someone staring her. She looked up from her book to see around and that's when she saw him, the same guy from last night, sitting a few feet away in a corner table and undoubtedly staring her.
The picture of his almost naked and fully aroused state that her mind recalled instantly made her go pink in her cheeks instantly and she looked away feeling utterly embarrassed all over again.
Arnav felt his ears warming seeing the recognition and reminder of their awkward confrontation in her eyes and face and he too looked away feeling like an utter fool. He remembered pretty well that he had yelled at her even when the mistake was his and he knew it was only fare that he apologized, but the thought of going before her and saying sorry for that incident which would only increase the uneasiness made him cower back.
But Arnav Singh Raizada was nothing if not a fare and honest businessman and if the mistake was his, he had no qualms accepting that, may what come. So solidifying his resolve he slowly rose from his seat and made his way to her table.
**
She panicked seeing him coming to her with purposeful steps. She sought a quick glance at his face to decipher his intentions only to find his face blank but his amused eyes were only on her.
She had to give it to him that man was handsome and devilishly at that.
He was tall and broad-shouldered. His dark silky unsettled hair falling on his forehead touching his thick shaped brows, under which lay a pair of sensuous and radiant eyes with a hint of gold in brown orbs. His cheeks are chiseled and finely-carved. He had a perfectly symmetrical nose and slightly full lips, the kind that end in a cute little smirk at the corners. His skin was fare but tanned suiting his masculinity.
In his long sleeve beige color t-shirt and camo-print ripstop shorts it was not hard to conclude that he had a firmly built body under those covers which gave her a teasing view of his muscled strong forearm as he had pushed his sleeves up till his elbows and so his half covered legs gave her an idea of his strong long legs.
She found herself coloring up some more when she realized that she was brazenly ogling him and that cute smirk was the result of her staring session which he had noticed cleverly.
She was amazed by herself for noticing so many things about him in matter of seconds but someone inside her head quipped, "When did you last saw a guy with so many assets to notice before? Ha?" she shook her head to clear her thoughts and quickly started to think of an escape root but she was only a bit too late at that as he was standing before her by that then.
**
"Hi" his husky voice reached her ears and she felt her heart skipping a beat.
"Ha... Hi" she stuttered as she kept her book and mug on the table little shakily, thanking all the above angles that she didn't drop them in her nervousness becoming a laughing stock for him.
Her quivering sweet voice felt like music to his ears. He stretched his right hand for her to take for a friendly shake as he introduced himself, "ASR , Arnav Singh Raizada"
She smiled little unsure but sweetly as she placed her hand in his and told him her name, "Khushi K Gupta." And then she added after a pause "Nice to meet you Mr. Raizada."
Feeling the soft warm hand in his "Khsuhi... he repeated her name as if testing it in his mouth and nodded slightly before saying, "Its Arnav for you and pleasure is all mine." His eyes didn't betray to convey the message that he was truly pleased by the view before him.
He saw her smile that reached her eyes in his silent compliment and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
Never a person to say a no outright Khushi nervously nodded her agreement and saw him taking a seat opposite to her instantly gesturing her to sit as well.
**
"Actually I wanted to apologize to you." Aranv said keeping a straight face and trying hard to keep his color normal.
Khsuhi frowned first not able to catch his reason for apologizing but then her face colored a shade more as he continued, "For last night's mess, it was my fault yet I behaved rudely with you."
She couldn't get a single word out first but then seeing his expectant expression she timidly muttered "its okay." and held her tongue firm in check as she was about to spill the next words you weren't in your right sense to care.'
Both sat in silence after that not knowing what to say more to keep the conversation going when the waiter came as a savior with Arnav's breakfast and served it on the same table.
As he started eating he noticed Khushi was about sip in her now ice cold coffee and stopped her immediately and placed a quick order of new cup coffee for her without giving a ear to her continuous denial, rather he politely stated that if she doesn't accept the coffee he would think that she hadn't forgiven him and pouted kiss-ably making it hard for her to deny anymore.
As the two strangers sat quietly one eating his simple breakfast and other sipping a now hot cup of coffee again concentrating back on her book, the silence didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
**
As Arnav finished Khushi found the moment appropriate to take her leave. She couldn't do that before as it would have been rude to leave him half way through his breakfast, 'Liar! just accept you wanted to sit in his company' the person in her head chirped naughtily. Hiding her sudden nervousness she opened her mouth to say her goodbye but a loud shrieking voice made her jerk on her seat and if it wasn't for Arnav she would have toppled the glass full of water on the table in her fright.
She smiled thankfully to him before turning to find the owner of the shrill voice whose loud call for her "Honey" had the few head in that vast lounge turned in her direction.
Khushi saw with her wide eyes the owner of the voice, unmistakably the girl who was with Arnav last night in her half naked glory fuming at her, coming in their direction in a Carrabin blue halter shirred skirt dress which barely reached her mid thighs leaving her long fare legs in display for the hungry eyes.
The dress was little more than necessary exposing for early morning view and Khushi couldn't help but shift in her seat uncomfortably when she saw Arnav's eyes lit up in unadulterated rage. She could feel the heat of his anger even from her seat. She only preyed to her favorite deity for the well being of that girl because she seemed in the verge of getting killed if his look was anything to go by. And Khushi was never so right before.
**
As the girl neared her flirty move and sultry look changed into shock then astonishment and then to anger in mere few seconds as she for the first time noticed Khushi's presence on the same table as Arnav's.
Unlike Arnav she had seen Khushi enough last night to recognize her at once. Right now as she took in her very beautiful, more covered than her yet very appealing visage and Arnav's admiring apologetic glance in her direction the green eye monster saw red in her.
She stomped towards them to get the bitch out of her Arnav's way, whom she had concurred after a very tough battle of attention among the many like hers and the gall of that girl! First she ruined their very well planned night of passion, her another step to reach this business tycoon aka Danger- to- any girl's- heart- stunning hunk aka Aranv Singh Raizada's heart and now how dare she seduce her best catch ever, with... with ... with Nothing (Not nothing darling but everything that you don't have, the puny sane part of her head chimed)! Humph!
**
"Honneeyyy!!" She crooned near Arnav's ear as soon she reached the table and placed a sloppy kiss on his left cheek to showcase their intimacy before Khushi and the very less crowd present their, unaware the hazardous impact her action would cause to her dreams.
Khushi couldn't care less about the kiss or the death glare the girl sent in her direction, for her, she only follow the movement of Arnav's nerve near his jaw line and side of his temple, a clear indication of bubbling anger. The juice glass in his hand looked in the danger of shattering into pieces in his vice grip and she prayed hard for a neat escape before he blew his top which sure likely to happen soon. She willed herself anywhere but here, witnessing an ugly encounter before her eyes, but fate is inevitable. Sigh.
**
The last thread of his near -to -nothing patience broke with the kiss, a blatant public display of not- even- there-relationship.
And he didn't know why but the thought what Khsuhi will think' tensed him, well ASR she anyways isn't thinking high about you after last night of your open display of animalistic hunger of primal need, the angle in his mind reminded him making the steam come out of his ears some more and he hissed dangerous enough for the girl to cower back and Khushi to gulp fearfully.
"What the f*ck Sheetal (congrats to them who guessed right!!)?" He stood up almost toppling the chair and Khsuhi looked around smiling awkward to the crowd who sure were having a gala show time in their expense.
But unaware of the stares they were earning in his killer rage Arnav continued in a low menacing voice, "How many times? Exactly how many times I have told you not to call me with that irritating endearment even in private and here you are yelling it before everyone!!" though he said everyone but his eyes only swept to Khushi's direction before turning back to Sheetal and even frightened to the core and shaking like a leaf Sheetal didn't miss the eye movement of him. She seethed inwardly but tried to do the damage control first.
I am sorry ASR... she started saucily rounding her arms around his neck and looking bravely in his burning eyes ... I wasn't thinking... You know how I go all warm and wet, she threw a meaningful glance to Khsuhi who chose to fidget with the pages of her book, Arnav too looked at her from the corner of his eyes and fumed but Sheetal continued changing her words cleverly...I mean sweaty, warm and sweaty by just seeing you only and I lose my senses to think Darling... and blabber the first things come in my mind. She drew herself more closer to him to give sensuous feeling of her busts, its only that he felt sensation but not in his southerner region rather in the part extreme north, in his ready to burst head which felt more hot by her antics... Like, seeing you I could only think of sweet, sticky and smooth Honey She winked to make her meaning known to him and the only audience of this conversation, and The endearment slipped my tongue before I could stop... She licked her upper inner lip with the tip of her tongue after putting extra pressure on the last word, in an undeniable invitation to finish the business which they had left incomplete last night after Khushi's leave as Arnav lost his will to continue.
Arnav lost his cool completely, as if it was there before, and growled unwinding her arms from his neck harshly, "You know what Sheetal you and your tongue are too slippery for your own good and atop that you have an empty brain and clingy character to bear for any sane man so We. Are. Done. For. Good. Get the hell out of here and do not show me your face to me again, because I don't want to spoil my mood seeing you anytime. Just get lost."
Khushi couldn't help but gape as Sheetal cried out which sounded like a cranky dog whining, "Whaat? No ASR. You can't do this to me for a small mistake. You know how much I love you Baby!!" the crocodile tears that followed made Aranv squeeze his eyes shut in irritation and Khushi well she just stared her mouth parted in utter bewilderment.
"Love?!!" Arnav scoffed, "Love my foot!! You and I, both exactly know why you are here? Because I am ASR, the Arnav Singh Raizada of Raizada Corp. a great catch for girls like you and hard to resist once you share bed with me... Tell me am I right or... am I right?" This time he smirked devilishly with a hint of crudeness as he whispered near inching closer to her ear, making Sheetal gulp in fright and her inside flatter marveling the Adonis like man before her at the same time.
**
If Khushi's mouth was open before now her jaw dropped almost touching the ground, while her eyes were round in shock getting to know the actual identity of Arnav and her ears and cheeks turned red hearing the bed part reminding her last night encounter again.
She slowly slipped out of her seat and before anyone of them can notice her she in small steps, almost sticking her body to the wall behind her made her way out of this weird situation, she never wished to be in ever in her life, slowly but steadily.
The people around gave her amused glances but she cared less and as soon she reached a clear place away from the tables she ran leaving the two arguing people behind, one of them cursed her profusely almost sending her to hell, arranging her funeral verbally and other saving her grace and dignity while cursing the bitch and pushing her out of his way so he could reach for his beauty, unaware that his Cinderella had already ran off scared by their cat and dog fight, in broad day light. Sigh.
