Clink, Clink.Clink. Prem began to clink the glass, to get everyone's attention, he had to do the best man toast for his best friend. Everyone had sat down for dinner. Bella and Tris were, ofcoourse sitting next to each other. Prem was seated right next to Heer who was seated right next to Bella.

A while ago when everyone was grabbing seats, Prem purposely had gone and sat next to Heer who was next to Bella. Tris, Prem's best friend who was the groom had given Prem a weird look and said " Prem, here man, I saved you a seat next to me..." Prem hesitantly said " Thanks Tris. I am cool here though" Tris shot back saying "Alright, whatever man..." As Prem sat down, Heer rolled her eyes and was compeltely aware of his purpose and thought to her self ' Why is he sitting next to me?'. Prem did not notice her rolling her eyes, and when she looked at him, he just gave her a small smile and said " I'm starving..."

Prem was very nervous about his best man speech, he hadn't even practiced. This was the first time he was giving the speech, he kept clinking the glass continously until he broke it and a piece of it landed right in front of Heer.' What the hell is he doing?' she thought. Heer got aggravated very easily, even the smallest things annoyed her. Everyone stared at Prem and his broken glass, his face turned a little pink and he silently said "Ooops..". Prem put the glass down, Heer came to the rescue by handing him her own wine glass. He mouthed a quick thank you to her and began his speech. " I've known Tris for ........................................... I wish both of them a very happy married life" Prem's speech turned out to be incredible, everyone applaused, and Tris and Bella were beaming at him. Bella stood up and hugged him saying " Oh Prem! That was so wonderful. Thank you". Prem gave her a sisterly hug. Tris got up and said " Come here man..." Tris gave him manly hug. The one with the hard pat on the back. They broke apart and Prem took his seat next to Heer. He was about to resume to the food, when Heer gently said " Quite Impressive, Mr. Jhuneja..." Prem smiled at her and instead of thanking her he haugtily said " Ah, well, No Big deal..." . Heer gave him a tilted smirk and whispered " Obviously you're a pro at this, looking at what you did before you said you speech" She held up the broken piece of glass " Clinking the glass about a thousand times..." Prem eyed the table, changing the subject said " Is that a German chocolate cake?mmmm....my favorite.." Oh, she was deifinttely getting to Prem.

*******************

Everyone was gathered around on the dance floor, watching the first dance of the newly weds. Heer was standing next to one of the bridesmaids Marissa who said " Someone's has had their eyes on you this entire evening" Heer was not friends with this girl, she was more of an acquaintaince, she gotten to know her through the wedding. Heer immediately tensed, she was aware of whom Marissa was speaking of but casually said " Who are you talking about ?" Marissa widened her hazel eyes and gave a big grin " You know very well....Heer don't pretend! Prem Jhunejha...The rich hunk! First Bella marries Tris this hot hunk and now Prem's eyeing you...Gosh I have horrible luck!" Heer smiled at her and said " He's all yours..Have him.." Marissa smiled and said " Oh honey, the way he has been eyeing you, believe me he wants more than just a temporary fling.....Plus I see someone over there..." She winked at Heer and escaped to hunt down a man. She left Heer thinking ' He wants more...' , the thought shook Heer. Before she could think of anything else, Prem walked up to her.

Prem held her by the waist, and she had her arms around him. The song was a romantic, slow one. It was " I can be you hero baby..." by Enrique Iglesias. It was one of Heer's favorites.

The music was loud enough to consume them but not loud enough that they could not talk. Prem softly said " You look gorgeous..." He took her by surprise, she gave him a shy small smile, Heer forgot everything in that one moment " Thank you..." He just smiled at her. Heer loved that smile, it got right through to her.There was a strand of hair on her cheek, he took it and tucked it behid her ear, he let his finger rest behind her ear for a second, enough for her to feel the gesture.

Heer looked up at him and nodded in a approving way. He said " Well I am aware that you're not engaged..but..uh..are you seeing anyone? I mean are you in a relationship?"

In that one question. the reality hit her, the happy moment disappeared and she sternly said "No.." The song had ended, and she roughly removed her arms from him, she knew where this was going, it would lead up to something that she eventually would not want. He walked with her, when she was leaving the dance floor ad she stopped her tracks and dryly said " I think you got your answer Mr. Jhunejha..." When she called him Mr. Jhuneja, it aggravated the heck out of him, it was really getting to him " Can you call me Prem?" She snapped and said " Fine, Prem then... why is this any of your business?" He directly and simply said " Because I would like to ask you out for dinner tomorrow night, as in a date." Prem was surprised at his own words. This was something he never did, Tris had encouraged him to take this step. "Excuse me?" Heer said raising her eyebrows. " All, I am asking for is dinner at a resturant..." he replied. Heer was not about to give in this easily to him, so she said " I met you yesterday at the rehearsal dinner, then today you came to my salon for a haircut and now we danced...So in total... How long have you known me for?" Prem simply said " Isn't that the purpose of a date? To get to know the other person..." Prem smiled at her and gave her a hopeful look. Heer looked at his perfect face which held that grin, that was getting to her. "Fine. Just dinner... But I have a few conditions... Actually,I'll save those for our date, that will make our date more interesting" The look Heer gave, made Prem realize that her condtions would be risky and put him in a position he had never been. Instead of showing how much was going on in his mind at the time, Prem cooly said " Oh I don't know about that. You'll be there and I'll be there at the date, what could be more interesting with that?" He flashed her the smile with a flirtiness in his eyes this time. Heer's heart was going off beyond control. " We'll see, Prem..." She escaped with her mind, heart and body spinning out of control, it was all because of Prem.

*************************

Prem insisted on picking Heer up, but she ordered him thats she would meet him at the restaurant, and that made him a bit uneasy. Prem was seated in the restaurant, one of the top restaurants in town. It was a classy, elegant and not to mention very romantic. The dim lighting, the soft music, the beautiful ornations of red and creme added the perfect touch to the candles. Prem was wearing an entirely black suit, he kept adjusting his tie as he always did when he was nervous. He already drank three glasses of water. His gaze was towards the entrance, he still could not see her. He looked at the clock, he felt a little anxious. It had only been two minutes past 7:00. She told him she'd be there at 7:00. Prem had arrived at the restaurant at 5:00. Freaking, Pathietic, he thought. Prem took a glance at his watch and looked up only to be blown away. He saw Heer walk in wearing a knee length black V-neck sleevless dress.He could see her incredible mile-long sexy legs, on which she had the black transparent leggings, she had on pencil high heel shoes. She had her hair loose and her makeup was elegantally done. She looked absolutely beautiful. He had no words to describe her. The dress was a classic version of the little black dress, but it did miracles to her incredible body.She was definitely bringing him to the edge.

As Heer walked into the restaurant, she saw Prem dressed completely in black. Her breath almost caught in her throat, watching him like this itself was a turn on. He looked handsome beyond words, As soon as he spotted her he flashed her his million dollar smile, more like trillion. Heer walked up to the table and Prem had stood up.

Prem went around and held out the chair for her and she sat. Then Prem took his seat. Their food arrived before they both knew it they were both in deep conversation. Prem was the one doing most of the talking, Heer was listening to him. Heer realized how much she enjoyed listening to him. In this one date she had gotten to know so much about his family, childhood and his present. At last Prem said " Well enough about me, tell me about yoursellf?" Heer told him about medical school and how she was working at the salon. When Prem asked her about her family she gulped her second glass of wine and ordered a third one. Prem just looked at her in amazement. Boy, could she drink anymore. By this time, Heer's head was spinning from all the alcohol. Heer answered his question about the family by saying " I don't wanna talk about my family but I'd rather talk about

Heer leaned closer to him moving away from her chair. Prem had no idea, he did not know what it was about her that was getting to him. Besides her beauty, it was her strong will, the way she challenged him every time, her cool attitude. He liked being challenged by her, he liked her. It was as simple as that. But he did not

Heer silently came and sat back down on her chair. " Do you know what I mean?"

" No, I do not know what you mean..." He was still trying to recover from her touches, the way she touched his lips, the way her hands rested on his shoulder, her sweet breaths fanning him. His male instincts were screaming out things he found hard to belive. She aroused certain things within him, he did not know he had.

Heer reached over the table and locked her hand with his and said looking up at him " I want a no-commitments, no-strings relationship. Just lust...."

Prem removed his hands from hers and looked at her in shock, he could not belive what he heard. Heer took the wine glass and sipped it and said " The only way we can happen is if you agree with these terms, If I want out, I can get out of this, If you want out you are welcome to leave. I'm not making any promises Prem, I don't belive in love but I do believe in
