PS: No offence to other readers, u guys also suggested great titles, but this one appealed to me the most. 😊
Dressed in a sheer net saree, she looked like Aphrodite in black. As she descended the stairs, she knew all eyes lay on her, but her eyes searched for one face- the ever handsome, ever so beautiful face of Maan Singh Khurana, her best friend of fourteen years. As she spotted him near the bar, she witnessed a vision- a perfect man- her dream man, her Greek God. He stood there dressed in white that enhanced his features furthermore. As he heard the sighs and gasps, he turned his head towards the direction of the object of people's admiration- Geet Handa- his best friend of fourteen years. He stood there dumbstruck, his breathe caught in his throat.
When their eyes met, a shiver passed through both of them unknown to the other. To hide her edginess, she flashed him a dazzling smile that whisked his heart away. With her eyes, she signaled him to come and claim her. He followed her eyes, and his heart and approached her. Once he reached her, he offered her his arm and gestured her to take it. Without an ounce of hesitation, she took his arm in hers and both of them walked towards the center table.
Once there, Geet exclaimed with surprise as she saw her favorite cake- the dark chocolate marble cake. She squealed with joy and hugged him for such a wonderful surprise. The crowd around them clapped at their gesture. After they pulled out of the hug, both of them felt a strange sensation overcoming them. It was the first time that their physical proximity was affecting them so much. Both dismissed the thought when Vicky and Dev hooted that Geet should cut the cake now.
With that, Geet bent down and blew the candles. Maan then handed her the knife and she cut the cake. She took out the first piece and without doubt, lifted her hand in front of Maan's mouth and he gently held her hand and had a small portion. He then returned the cake towards her and shoved it into her mouth. She made a face and stuck out her tongue to him. Maan, Vicky, and Dev chuckled at her childishness. She then offered her other two best friends the cake pieces which they gladly accepted, and asked Nakul- their help to slice the cake into various pieces and offer the guests.
After the cake cutting ceremony, soft music lightened the atmosphere. All the couples moved to the dance floor. Dev and Vicky also asked Naintara and Meera (respectively) for the dance of which they coyly accepted.
After a while, when Maan and Geet were standing near the floor, chatting, a young guy of about 24 approached Geet and asked her for the dance. Geet blushed, which did not go unnoticed by Maan. He instantly felt pangs of jealousy in him and shot daggers at the guy. Geet cheerfully accepted his hand for the dance which angered him even more. He was unable to comprehend his feelings. She was his best friend after all, why was he feeling so jealous?
He tried to distract himself by asking one of the random girls out for the dance which she accepted. So now, Geet and Maan both were at the dance floor with their respective partners.
Though Maan was slow dancing with the girl in blue, his whole attention was on Geet and her partner- the way they danced. It irked him to no extent to watch Geet in some other man's arms. He still managed to control himself and keep him occupied with the girl in his arms.
After about five minutes, he noticed the guy moving his fingers across her bare arms, and then placing his hand on her midriff section, by which Geet was apparently very clearly uncomfortable. That did it. He excused himself and immediately walked towards Geet. He put a hand on the man's shoulder and gave him a warning look. He then asked the man if he could have the lady for himself. It was more a command than a request, to which the man meekly obliged.
A relieved Geet instantly hugged him softly and rested her head on his chest. Now they were in such proximity that no air could pass, her breath was fanning his lower part of the neck, and his hands were on her bare waist. Geet felt contended, she felt complete in his arms. What she was unaware of was, what their proximity was doing to Maan. It was literally an assault to his senses. He gently broke the hug and then twirled her around. After the little movement, they again stood dangerously close to each other, this time, both in a magical trance. Maan moved forward slowly, and brushed his lips on hers. She froze. The very feel of his lips on hers played havoc with her senses. She made fists of her hands and felt the twitching between her legs as she could feel him hardening. Unable to control any longer, she stood on her tippy toes and leaned forward to give him a full mouth kiss. She moved her hands upward, and her fingers entwined themselves with his hair. He passionately moved his hands across her waist arousing her further. The kiss deepened, with both of them parting the seal of their mouths and their tongues playing, each trying to dominate the other. After a breathtaking kiss, they stopped, panting for breath.
The next moment, all they heard was the roar of the applaud, and the hooting by the onlookers. They had kissed in public! Geet turned scarlet. She whipped around and ran across the hall towards her room. Maan ran his hand through his hair in embarrassment. Looking up, he shot everyone a glare, and stomped off.
Inside the room Geet's mind and her heart was in chaos. What had happened outside? Just what exactly had occurred? She had kissed Maan. SHE HAD KISSED HIM! SHE HAD KISSED HER BEST FRIEND! This was so not right.
Maan, on the other hand was equally chaotic. He was not supposed to kiss her. This feeling- these feelings, for her? For his best friend? Had she even realized what they had done? He was a little tipsy after the drink, and so was she. It wasn't right. Exactly.! He could explain her. Talk with her. This would not affect their friendship now would it?! But the kiss had felt so right, so nice, like they were a couple. What? A couple? No! it couldn't be! Was he falling for her? Was he falling in love??
Shrugging the thoughts away, he went to her room, and noticing the door slightly ajar, he entered without permission. What he saw there made him freeze on the spot.
Geet had just stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her and her hair dripping wet. She was a sight.
Maan noticed the flawless skin, and he drank in her beauty.
Geet saw his irises darken with desire. She stepped back.
With each step he took forward, she moved back. After the footsie, she stood with her back against the wall, and he pinning her from the front.
He gazed at her with fire in his eyes, fire of passion and of want. He then noticed a droplet of water near her upper lip. He greedily bent forward and licked it off. He then kissed her again to which she responded with equal fervor. In between the kiss, she moaned his name which made him go feral and he kissed her ferociously, biting her lip in the process. She yelped in pain, which broke the spell and both of them came back to their senses. Geet hastily stepped out of the embrace and went inside the bathroom shutting the door ever so tightly. She then leaned at the door and lifted her hand to feel her lips.
TWO KISSES IN FIFTEEN MINUTES! THAT TOO WITH GEET! Maan! You're so dead now, he thought to himself.
After what seemed like eternity to both of them, Geet came out of the bathroom in her nightsuit. They avoided looking each other in the eye. Maan then turned his back to her and decided to talk.
"Geet! Look. Whatever happened outside, and just now. I don't know what it was. I just. I don't know Geet. I just know that I don't want our precious friendship to have cracks because of this. You are my best friend Geet and..", at which Geet interrupted.
"Best friends? BEST FRIENDS MAAN?! Best friends do not kiss in public! In fact, they do not kiss at all! They do not dance like we did, and and and, they do not kiss twice in a span of fifteen minutes. Infact, they do not kiss at all! Wait! I have already said that! So yes, whatever happened Maan, was not because we were best friends. We cant be, after what happened. Not you at least. You are not my best friend. If I love you, how can you be my best friend?!?!", and she froze. As she realized what she had said, she covered her mouth immediately with her palm and shook her head, tears threatening to spill any moment.
"Geet! You confessed? Like THIS? Really! This isn't a way to reveal your feelings now, is it?", he said, amused.
She looked up to find a smiling Maan.
"You're not mad at me?", she asked, confused.
"Why would I be mad at you? When I've fallen!", said Maan.
"Fallen? What? Maan?", she was getting more confused by the minute.
"Geet. I know we've shared a beautiful friendship. But in these fourteen years, I never realized when I fell in love with you. But today, when I saw you with that guy, I realized that I couldn't let somebody else touch you. Let alone touch, I cant even see you with somebody else. You are just for me Geet! You are just mine. I love you. And you love me. And this fact is not going to change the love that we had as friends. Trust me, do you?", he asked.
"More than I trust myself. I love you Maan", she said.
He went upto her and gave her the most searing kiss ever. In between, Geet said,
"Third time in 20 minutes! That calls for a record", and she giggled.
He chuckled and engulfed her in a bear hug, both of them making promises to each other for a lifelong togetherness. J
