next part:
He stared at her back as she stalked into the kitchen, kicking the phone receiver that lay on her way.'wildness personified' he thought,'but it was in sync with her eyes,the always fierce ones,how could a girl be so crisp and man, her temper was something to watch out for. where was this girl all these days? such a different species could not have stayed out of his eyes for this long. He had caught her looking at him a few times in these two months that she had been in his class, but that had never made him think she was any different,but now looking back he realised that she never made friends with anyone,she was kind'a the lone kid,not that he is any different but then he did have shefali and romit as friends,may be lack of anyone close is making her grumpy. he winced at his own thought, 'stop it Arjun! stop finding reasons to justify her character! you are your biggest enemy''whatever it is she had no right talk that way about shefali' as soon as he thought back to the words he had used back on her,he scolded himself in his head,how did i loose cool?! i never loose my anger with girls! i should probably apologize to her,uh no,she should apologize first,after all she was the one who started.Miss.Arohi was not the only stubborn person here.
He hated that part of him which was too eager to know if there was more to her. what has happened to me?! Yes its true that he had never thought that there could this unknown dimension to her, something wild and yet he could also not deny the fact that she was the first ever person to whom he had went to the 'fighting level' without even formal introductions! Arjun was not the one to pick a fight with anyone,but was the one who could maintain his cool even in the wildest situations. what was it about this girl made him go the otherwise?
one hour passed with him sitting on the sofa,mumbling to himself while he heard nothing from her.And his head was hurting with all the silence around him. THIS was Arjun's greatest weakness! He hated silence! Except for the time he sleeps,he always needed someone to talk to or someone he can listen to. He had always had someone or the other,but now? he is stuck!! stuck with a girl,he hates! ugh no he likes! ugh no!! with a girl he does not feel anything for! now thats better.
He waited for another half an hour before he decided that he couldnt take it anymore,he began walking towards the kitchen and stopped himself at the entrance before he could collide with her,he saw her take a few quick steps back and lean on the counter next to her,they stood facing each other with eyes fixed on the each other,
'hey' he said.
'hey'
'i'm sorry' both of them said at the same moment,making each other laugh.
'i'm so sorry should not have said that about your friend...',she looked at him with hesitant eyes, 'no..' he started but was cut wth her,'i would have reacted far worse than you',she never ceases to surprise him.
'but i should not have said those words to you too,i'm really sorry about it, you were right i dont even know you...um so can we start it all over again?' he asked her with hope.
'i guess we should,two days here alone by itself is horrifying,i dont want to fight with my only company till then and make it even more worse.' she said,sighing softly she put her hand forward, he took it swiftly,' hi, Arjun, Arjun Singhania'
she rolled her eyes,'bond, james bond huh?! we both know our names!'
'Arohi, this is a fresh start, so no fighting..' he said, 'you sound like my mom' she crinkled her nose,'okay then... i'm arohi, happy?! now c'mon lets see whats there to eat i'm super-hungry!'
'jeez! i thought you were coming to apologise?!' he teased her.
'you just wouldn't change' she waved her hands and moved towards the fridge. Arjun was right behind her.
'will you just move and let me grab sth? or are you going to stand there gazing at it??'he asked.
'Arjunnn...' she drawled 'what?' he asked frm behind her trying to peek in.
'who arranged for food?' she asked in a slow drawly manner. 'romit' Arjun said and suddenly as if sth hit him, he said 'please dont tell me he messed up'his tone was deceptively calm. She sighed,'we can survive without water for another 45 hours..right?'
.
.
.
' i cannot beleive that the idiot did not forget to get wine but had forgot WATER!' Arjun said as he threw himself over the bed.
'my throat is already dry' she said as she got into the bed,and began tying a blanket as a barrier inbetween.'mine too...looking at you' he silently said to himself,she did not even realise that her shorts and t-shirt were a bit too exposing,thank god it was him with her and not some random guy,he stopped his thoughts as he realised what he was thinking,he was random stranger to her but what made her so comfortable with him?! he thought.
'Don't blame me if the barrier goes down in the middle of the night',she shot an 'i'll-kill-you-if-you-try' look. 'she is just too easy to tease' he thought,'you know if i were you,i would rather be covering myself up than wearing THAT to bed' he said as he pointed at her clothes,his eyes slowly moving appreciatively from her bottom to top to her panic-strikken face,soon before he could even realise he was beng hit with pillow, till that moment he had not known that being hit with a pillow could even hurt! It took him anoher few seconds to sand and take the pillows from her hand,'i'm a believer of non-violence' he said sarcastically,'i prefer to show my thoughts in my actions,and i believe in violence' she shot back with a smirk,he made a face at her as she made herself comfortable,resting her back at the head rest,'if i show my thoughts through my acts...' he left the sentence incomplete for his dark almond brown eyes to complete it,She saw the desire turn into horror as she reached for her pillow and burst out laughing.
.
.
two or three hours passed,
to tell Arjun was annoyed was an understatement, he was giving Arohi's MR.Bhagwan all sorts of galiyan! couldn't he have got someone else to get struck with?? he has always fantasized getting struck in an unknown island with jessica alba! her plump lips and sexy figure,he thought as he gave out a desperate sigh.He did not even ask for someone as beautiful but someone who he could talk with would been fine,his luck! all he got was this Arohi hottie Ahluwalia! and to top it all she seemed too interested in her magazine than him,he wondered when her middle name changed from 'behenji' to 'hottie',but son enough he busied himself with his fantasies,atleast that would take his mind off this creature and getting into his dreamland atleast he might be lucky enough to fall asleep.
Arohi had a hard time not talking with him too, she was just too excited to have been struck with him! and she was sure if she said a word, he would know that she literally had stalked him without his knowledge. she did not want that, also being here,she was getting to know more about him, he was too restless a person she thought,and she did not know why he was always ready to pick a fight with her,he could be really annoying she had realised! but she had to admit to herself that he looked even more handsome from close, yes she saw him close enough to say that, she knew very well by now that arjun would never get too close with any girl. For god's sake, only girl he talked to, was her house mate! but what amused her was the way he came so close to her, no effort no flirting no nothing except shouting at each other yet they were comfortable with each other. She was sure that she would have murdered that annoying sid within the frst few minutes if he had been here instead of arjun! she made a mental note to give her house mate a nice lecture on 'how to take revenge or whatsoever'. he sighed?! what wrong with him? he looks like a five year old kid,that has been grounded. not once but so many times in the past few hours she had noticed him giving her interesting looks. she realised that it was growing darker and she could not even look at the magazine that she was pretending to read, and it was colder too!
it was almost five or six in the evening,
'arjun, switch on the lights and the heater!' she said without even looking at him.
'its ok i'm fine this way' he snapped.
'i did not ask you, its geting darker and its hard to read anything.'
'hey i'm not your servant by any means!!' he cut her, and also mumbled,' maharani sahiba go and do it yourself'.
'i'm not able to see anything arjun...' she said pleadingly,'pleasee...'
'Finally that 'p' word, i thought you did not even know the word' he said as he mummbled sth about 'royal pain' and got up..
few mins later, 'arjun have you not found the switches yet' arohi called out,just then she saw him coming out of the kitchen with a lighted candle in hand.
'what happened' she asked already knowing something was wrong.
'looks like the mains are off' he said and looking at the her now pale face and eyes that were show casing anger and irritation at the same time, he said,'this is the one of the two candles that i found so i think we should save this, thankfully they have some firewood stored in there, i'll get you blankets, that must help us through the night.' he said with hope,she smiled softly. Her eyes smiled with her lips, he thought as she looked at her soft angelic face,the candle light was highlighting her perfect features, he liked it when she was calm and mysterious he thought, as he went to pick up the logs for the fireplace. she liked t when he talked softly without any sarcasm,she thought.
He forgot to breathe, when he came back into the room, he saw arohi standing on her toes, trying to reach the top most shelf where he could see the blankets were kept. It would be easy for him to lift her off the ground and make her grab the blankets he thought but as soon as the thought entered he reminded himself of her wild nature and especially her long nails, and moved next to her taking the blankets without even moving a bit, he smiled ruefully but did not let his tongue out as she had expected him to, Arohi watched him curiously as he silently grabbed one of the blankets for himself, went to his half of the bed and lied down. She soon followed him and went to bed.
.
.
.
After few minutes of silence,
Arohi slowly moved the screen dividing the bed a bit, only to look at his sleeping profile,'mhmm' , she slowly moved her fingers towards him,such that only her nails were touching him,she moved it slowly down his arm,and poked him. 'idiot here i am not even able to sleep but he is sleeping peacefully!' he thought as she poked him harder. 'what is she doing?' he wondered with his eyes still closed (remember he cannot stay without talking?!) , thats when he realised that she was poking him with her nails and sat up instantly.
'ahhh!WHAT ARE YOU DOING?'
'haaw! And you say that i scream!' she said rubbing her ears as if it was hurt.
he shot an irritated glance towards her, she shrugged off saying 'i cannot sleep without talking to someone'
'so?' he snapped.
'um..since you are my only company..' she hesitantly looked at him.
he raised his eyesbrows in response.
'um.. since there is no one else here..' , he understood that she wanted him to stay awake and talk with her, well that is not sth hard for him to do but he was in mood for some fun now.
'since there is no one here..' he repeated in soft seductive voice,
'uh..' she quickly looked up and saw him staring intently at her.
'continue arohi...only you and me..alone...' he continued with the same voice while leaning forward towards her.
Arohi felt her head go blank,her eyes grew wide as he stroked her arms with his fingers suggestively with a smouldering smile.
'arohi..' she did not know if it was the velvetty voice or the way he said her name, she felt asthough she was drugged. her eyes closed involuntarily,she felt his hand cup her face,the touch giving her goosebumps,she could now feel his front hair on her forehead, his breath fell on her face and his thumb smoothly caressing her cheekbone,she felt his other hand moving slowly over her palm that was resting on the bed turning it around and entwining his fingers with hers, she felt him,his hold over her,he was slowly but effectively taking over her senses and his lips had not even touched hers still,she thought.Her eyes snapped open as soon as the thought settled over, but she was late his lips had already begun to claim her passionately,she couldnot help but lose herself in the emotions for a few moments but soon enough, she recovered,simply saying she was back to her senses when arjun felt her pushing him away and poking dangerously at his chest!
uh-oh ab ARJUN SINGHANIA ka kya hoga?!!!
