OS : PriDa: Who Sleeps on A Friday Nite Anyway !!
The head tilted to da right. The lower end of da lips at da corner were caught between da teeth. The eyebrows scrunched together. Was it hot in da room tonite ?? She took steps towards da entrance wall to start da ceiling fan.
"Hmmm, so u guys meeting again" she heard Prithvi ask. Why was he angry ?? She had not even been home to tease or provoke him tonite !! She knew da routine. She teased. He pretended to get angry. Then she got in da kitchen n baked his fav double chocolate fudge cake. If she added a pinch of Caramel Machiato koffee to da mix she usually won him over at first bite. It was his weakness n she had learnt it da first week they had agreed to co-exist in the small 2 bedroom apartment as Flatmates.
She had arrived home from a blind date, dat had gone well... Err... Well.
Sikandar was all of 6'4 dat he had claimed he was and den some more.
Her 5 fingers... AKA closest friends... she had made over da years who cared about her had set her up wid dis hunk in da blind hope of getting her to agree to get out more. They called her a *Clamped Shell* needing a good boil to open up !!
Sikandar was a thorough gentleman. An aspiring writer, he turned out to be a dude who had a way wid words and sum of dem wer very colourful. He had a knack of gabbing. She had found herself dreaming in trance letting her imagination fly high during da meal.
Taking her leave and agreeing to ketchup again wid Sikandar, she had pushed opened the apt door keys in hand. To find Prithvi spread himself on da couch in da darkened room, watching sumfink over da 60 inch High Definition Tv. The biggest piece of furniture on da wall in da apt.
"Hey" she walked past him, towards her room. She wanted to email da date details to her friends, before they became fuzzy in her DRUNK brain.
yuP... she had sipped a drink or two. Experimenting for da first time.
and NO, it hadna sat well on her well-being. Alcohol n she didna go together. She still have no clue if she had been kissed a goodbye at da end of the date. A thot which had bothered her brains all tru out da cab ride home.
"Daminiii" Prithvi jumped outta his skin and switched off the tv. *Wait up, how was ur date??" He flicked da remote on da koffee table n jumped over da couch to follow her.
She heard da TV volume die off in a jiffy from da living room as she placed her small purse on da side table in her room.
WAIT...did he kill da tv relay?? was everyfink oka in his universe?? and
why was he home on a couch ALONE in da first place on a friday nite??
Who sleeps on Friday was his fav phrase !!
Damini thots wer runing a1000 miles an hour suddenly.
She turned, only to catch him standing leaning against her bedroom door.
"Date?? oh yaa, it was fine" she replied, distracted by his presence in her room suddenly.
"Hmmm" He didna look happy for her.
" so you guys meeting again??" she heard Prithvi ask...
DAT... dat depends on if Sikandar called her. but she didna tell dat to Prithvi. "Err... Maybe... dunno... probably" . Damini replied. "Sikandar seems like a... an... an articulate dude. He might schedule another meet...and den we will see from der..." she ended lamely as she walked bak towards the door entrance to switch on the room fan.
Still standing against da door, Prithvi frowned at her word, Articulate??"
wot did she mean?? was she hinting. He cud be articulate.
Jus wot did she mean by dat !!
She stopped next to him and clicked on da fan.
"Wha---" her throat refused to croak. she tried again.
"Wot?? why are u staring at me??"
Did he alwaz have such a broad chest?? a chest dat was BARE tonite.
where was his t-shirt?? da folded hands only broadening his shapely buff form for a better view !! She gulped. Maybe the bedside lamps wer giving out light at sum odd angle on his body like sum scene outta a Yashraj Movie !! otherwise tonite of all nites, why did he suddenly look ...err... A hunk on a pole... Whoa... she mentally scolded herself for her wayword thots...
"You are gonna do dis dating stuff eh" his voice sounded rough and it broke her focused gaze traveling down his bare chest, Gaze dat followed da light sprinkling of hair spiralling down and almost getting lost sumwer behind da waistba--- She looked up guiltily into his eyes. oka DAT was a BAD move to look into his eyes !!
NOTE to SELF: if caught never look into da enemies eyes. never !! Either focus on how many grains are embedded in da floor tiles OR how much square footage has da builder counted for da ceiling... but NEVER in da enemies eyes !! - Pannalogy101.
"Prithvi?? Why are u doing home on a Friday nite?? isn't it ur gang's nite to get sum??" she slided in dat last bit of getting sum, to tease him. Now as per predictibility, he will pretend to get angry and de will bak on track. or so she thot !!
He pushed himself off da door in a reflex move, and looked into her eyes. "Is dat wot u fink about me?? dat mah life is all about getting sum??"
Angry !! yuP he sounded slightly angry... so her trick had worked... she continued...counting silently on her fingers. "nooo, i mean ur life sure involves maintaining ur lil black book". She paused den added, "den... der is legwork on how to escape a womans clutches, if she actually starts having a normal n decent conversation" paused again for breath n continued... "not to forget-----------oh!!
Prithvi lunged forward, grabbed her wrist and pinned dem up against da wall over her head. All in pump of a single heartbeat. Da wonly thot dat crossed her buzzed mind was Alcohol met Heat and S-I-Z-Z-L-E-D !! maybe dats why instead of making an attempt to push him away.. she took a deep breath and looked up ...up... damn he was tall alright !!
*Heartbeat, da most sensual music in da world plays
only wen Silence is evidently present to enhance da effect*
-pannalogy101
wot was he doing !! Prithvi wondered for a moment.
Dis was Damini. his roommate. one who trusted him blindly.
why was he hell bent on changing da rules?? he looked down into her soulful eyes. She rattling off gud stuff about her date had irked his temperament and he wanted her to stop da chatting. but was dis da best way to do it?? She tried to pull her hands free, and instead of letting her go, he tightened da grip.
"Prithvi?? wot are you doing??" Damini whispered into his face.
Strands of hair flying about her face, da ceiling fan creating da needed visual effect. yuP... Yash Chopra had dat part of romance perfecto to a T. Maybe he shud copyright it. wot say eh ??
Sumwer near his solar plexes he felt a pull.. or was it a push??
He shifted both her hands in his left span of a palm. thanking all those months spent in da gym after work hours. da ones Damini thot he spent toying around wid women galore. He was not a womaniser. Jus gave dat impression of being a MALE... period !!
Lifting his right hand, he touched a strand on her left cheek.She didna budge... but her eyes closed shut softly. Did da electricity flutter in da room suddenly?? He ran his finger on her cheek... in an attempt to move da strand. But it was an erratic path and da strands refuse to comply. He den went about to run his entire hand, all five fingers in her hair from forehead to neck. Wen his hand reached her neck, still entwined in her hair... he made a fist. da movement brought her face mere inches away from his. He cud almost taste da fruity fragrance of Strawberry lipgloss. Den she ran da pink tip of her tongue on her lips.
Jeez... dat was his sign of doom... He had to divert da moment ...or else... der was no stopping his thot process... or his actions tonite. "Its not all about partying and thinkofaying of women for me on weekends" he clarified
"oka" Damini seemed to agree. "i mean i know... i was jus teasing"
her voice told a whole different story though. Breathless n husky.
She wanted him to let go, but cudna sumhow make herself say it to him.
why?? coz she knew if she said it, he wud let go. and wer was da *PHUN* in dat.
She was living da *one moment of wild* in her life.
Prithvi had suddenly turned from a harmless roomie into dis... rustic... Demigod and she was getting off on it. If he said "Gotcha" any moment now... she wud haveta shout *I keeel You* !! and actually do him sum bodily harm.
"i think of other stuff too on weekends other den partying n women"
He whispered into da space between dem. A very bery tini tiny space !!
Technically, maybe only air cud pass in between. She was loosing da battle to alcohol. Here she was trapped between a brutal wall and a Demigod and she was thinking abt Technicalities !! Tasak Tasak Tasak to her !! "Really?? wot other things u fink of?? she asked, her voice barely a squeaky whisper. Her normal tone had died da moment he had pushed himself off her door and pinned her to da wall.
Prithvi's eyes suddenly seemed tranced. He took a long breath.
"Sumtimes..." He paused for effect, "Wen i am sitting at da bar wid a glass in hand..."
Did he alwaz have dis passionate tone in his voice?? Damini was playing tic tac toe wid her guesses. After all it was a night of *Revelations* For her. Tall impressive height... Chest hair dat spiraled sexily... raw disposition... and now passionate voice...Jeez why did she never see all dis before !! she mentally scolded herself.
Note to Self: Be aware of da surroundings kya pata wot u may miss in da first glance !!
she brought her focus again on wot he was whispering.
"...wid a glass in hand... twirling a drink... I fink about wot it wud be like to------- " he stopped as if to continue wud be to change da rules completely between dem. "------ i fink about----" he repeated
Dat nite, Damini learnt dat a heart can stop beating AND it IS still possible to be ALIVE !! for she knew her heart had stopped dat moment in da hope dat he wud say sumfink and give her heart a life !! She held still, not moving an iota. As if EVEN breathing wud disturb da tender web dat had been spun between dem.
Der de were. Damini all of her 5'5 frame add 3 inch of heels against her bedroom wall and He, all of 6'1ft of raw energy, on da brink of a meltdown
Heart beatings creating a sensual force of eneygy,
which only those two cud sway to, for many many years down da lane
"--- its not all about weekends--- i think... i fink about WHICH woman i can wake wid on a monday morning n dats a WEEKDAY mind yaa !! den he WINKED at her n SMIRKED his trademark sign. da lift of his eyebrow.
and Prithvi was BAK to partying and womens and weekend calculations !!
Damini burst out loudly laughing, almost sounding like a Horse neighing wid glee after watchering a hay stack nearby. Da tensed moment seemed to have passed. GOTCHA... yuP. Prithvi has done it YET again.
For a moment she had really thot he was gonna spill sum dark secret outta his life. Hoped he wud have... confiding in her... she cud keep secrets. yuP she cud. but nooo Prithvi had played on her mind yet again.
"DooFoo !! get out silly" she slapped him lightly on his arm.
pushing him outta da room,she closed it wid a whoosh.
She collapsed against it on da floor in a puddle of moosh.
Grinning silly... thinkering about WOT IF possibilities...
oh Prithvi was so gud at dis GOTCHA...
Den she heard Prithvi outside da door... saying, "Goodnight... Mah love"
Jus Wotko did he mean by * MAH LOVE*,
was da last thot in dat room dat nite in Damini's konphused mind.
Sleep was sooo far-a-way
But... *WHO SLEEPS ON A FRIDAY NITE ANYWAY*...
She had loadsa time to ponder jus dat,
as she heard his footsteps fading away from her door...
