CHAPTER-12.
A shocked Meera stood breathing hard, as her reeling senses tried to adjust with what had just happened.
Her Stranger, had just pulled her into his arms..Her Stranger, no,Prithvi, her Stranger's name was Prithvi...She realized with a fresh surge of shock.
"Prithvi..."She whispered out, unaware that she was actually saying it aloud, and slowly dragged her eyes up that wide chest,and looked into those smoldering eyes, that were staring back at her, and she unconsciously whispered once again,
"Prithvi...You are..You are not My Stranger...You are Prithvi..."
On hearing her say his name so beautifully...Prithvi pulled her closer and tighter to his body.Not caring that they were standing out in the open and in broad daylight..Anyone could see them...But Prithvi was long past caring..At that moment, he did not care about anything other than the beauty called Meera in his arms...His Mango Tree Fairy..Her beautiful eyes casting magic spell on him..Her sweet fragrance clouding his senses..Her beautiful rosy lips saying his name...
"You can call me Your Prithvi..If you want to..But a stranger, I don't think so..."Whispered back Prithvi in a husky voice...
Meera watched dazedly as Her Prithvi's eyes came closer, as he slowly lowered his head, and a warm sensation swept through her body...While she lowered her eyes, in surrender...
Just when Prithvi's warm breath fell on her face, sudden noise of something falling from inside the house, pulled back Meera into the reality. And the magical moment was broken as Prithvi also pulled his head back.
What does he think he's doing?!! Thought an astounded Meera, her temper already rising...
I really don't know...Thought Prithvi , still holding her tight and close to his body..
Meera's eyes widened in shock, as she felt she heard him reply to his thought...She tried to move away when Prithvi again pulled her closer to his body...
"What's wrong with you?! ! Let me go!"She hissed out staring into his eyes, unable to move an inch from the iron circle of his arms..
"First promise me, you'll give me what I ask.."Said Prithvi in his husky voice.
"WHAT?!!"Exclaimed out a stunned Meera.
Instantly,her wild and hyperactive imagination started replaying last night's incidents, one after the other in her mind...
That kiss...She remembered, blushing red in the process...
And once again, as if reading her thoughts, she watched Prithvi's eyes move lower, to linger on her lips...She felt her lips tingle, as if he was actually touching them...
The sensual act, her betraying body's response to Prithvi, her last night's embarrassing memories, and her loss of control of the situation, triggered Meera's uncontrollable rage again. And she held onto it for protection, against the strange feelings Prithvi was evoking in her.
She tried to shove him away with all her strength, but ended up moving closer to his body, her face ending up in the opening of his shirt, where his springy chest hairs tickled her nose, just below his throat...As she inhaled a staggering breath, to control herself, she inhaled the fresh scent of soap, his musky perfume, mixed with another smell, that was just him..And liquid heat started pouring down her veins, which she desperately tried to fight...
"Will you forgive me?"Asked Prithvi in a solemn voice.
Dumbstruck Meera looked up at him again.
"Forgive..."She muttered in a confused voice...
"Yes..Will you forgive me? For...For my behavior last night...?"Prithvi finished in a tight voice, his eyes filled with regret.
Her senses returning, Meera finally understood what it was that he really wanted.
"First let go of me, then I'll answer."She demanded.
Prithvi reluctantly let go of her, and as soon as he did, Meera instantly took three steps backwards, to put a fair amount of distance between her and Prithvi...Her eyes by now blazing with fury, she looked up at him.
"I'll never forgive you! Never!"She seethed out at him."And don't you ever touch me again! "She finished angrily, and with these parting words, she ran into the house, as a stunned Prithvi looked on...
She has some temper!
Thought an amazed Prithvi.
But I am also Prithvi Khanna, and no matter how stubborn she is, I'll make sure she forgives me...Whatever it takes!
Prithvi promised to himself, and turned to enter the house.
That was when he noticed the saree hanging from a window, just above the place, where he had caught her in his arms...
"So..My fairy was trying to escape through the window!"Correctly concluded an amazed Prithvi.
"Now, why am I not shocked?!!"Prithvi murmured to himself with a chuckle...
