MG SS: It Takes Two S1 #3 PART-23/24 Pg-103/118 May-9th THE END! - Page 10

Her eyes widened in embarrassment as she heard him laughing. Ohh god, she didn't have it in her to even turn back and see his mocking face. This is why she kept mum most of the time. What is the problem if she liked pumpkin? Back home, her friends used to tease her that if she ate too much pumpkin, she'd also become round and fat like one. Exasperated at her own thoughts, she went to the kitchen to fill the jug before leaving to her room. She knew his gaze was on her...she was feeling butterflies in her tummy. She tried to concentrate on the water jug she was holding. Suddenly she felt something warm surround her and before she could gather herself, he placed a peck on her cheeks, leaving her motionless. His fingers ran on her cheeks sending shivers down her spine, "good night pumpkin... I enjoyed our date a lot...sleep well."

And he was gone in a blink!! She stood there caressing her cheek for a while. the touch of his lips still lingered over. Her heart was thudding so damn badly. She somehow managed to get to her room, keep the jug and shut the door. She fell on the bed, feeling so dreamy...blushy mushy and could have almost given into the feel when his words rang in her head!! Pumpkin?? Did he just call her a pumpkin? And when the hell that outing was a date?? Hey wait a minute... he is just assuming things all by himself!! She felt so damn angry at him... he just took her out and then called her a pumpkin and laughed at her as well!! look at the audacity of this man!

Her phone buzzed with annie's name flashing on it. she quickly received it feeling so damn happy.

"hieee Geet...kaisi ho? I am missing you a lot yaar...", annie screamed on the other side.

"miss you too annie... and am good. tum soi nahi ab tak? Its late na.."

"umm..i was reading a book and suddenly thought of calling you. How are things there? Bhai kaise hain? Romantic ya still khadoos types???", annie added naughtily making her red in anger and blush as well.

"ahh..its...nothing really! He is irritating...", she clipped.

"no ways darling... you are lying. Come on tell me.. did you two...erm..ahem understand what I mean right??"

"understand what annie?", Geet asked innocently.

Annie rolled her eyes, "umm.. gosh.. ahh..i meant the deed... you see.."

Geet was still confused, "what deed annie... I am not getting you.."

Annie felt like hitting her head..gosh this girl is so innocent, "Geet you idiot..am talking about that... did you do it?"

"annie... seedhe seedhe bolo kya poochna chahti ho!!", Geet was irritated. This brother and sister duo talk all in circles and confuse her.

Annie snapped, "fine!!! You want me blunt.. then be it! I wanted to ask..did you make love?"

"what??", Geet screamed hearing annie say something like this!! Her face turned red..he doesn't leave a chance to touch her and here annie...ohh god!!

"yes darling... making love... as in sex..."

Geet felt smoke rising from her ears, "chi aniiee... kya bol rahi ho tum!! Chi chi babaji... ye sab kya hain!!"

"tho bolo na... kiya ki nahi?"

"good night annie..kal college hain..", Geet couldn't take it anymore.

"nahi bolo bolo...see its like 1am here and 9 at your place.. best time for girly talks.. you can tell me you know..bhai must have gone into his study by now",

Geet felt like either slapping annie or killing herself"whichever was possible. she disconnected the call and tried to sleep. She felt her ears burning hearing those words. No wonder they were siblings!! The next morning, she was hurriedly making breakfast for maan was to leave for a meeting in a few minutes. She checked the time...7:30. Ohh she had like 15 more minutes and she had her college too. Never had she felt this excited or happy about doing something for him, him hurrying up, talking on phone and stealing glances at her.

She quickly laid the table, with toast and omelette and juice and waited for him. he just walked into the dining, finishing with his call and she served his plate. He smiled at her effort. He was about to say something when his phone buzzed. He munched on his toast as he talked. She watched him busy..hardly eating. She quietly munched on her toast. He finished with his food and rushed to to his study sipping his juice. She cleaned the table and got herself ready for college. He rushed out holding the file and she followed him, almost running to match his steps to see him off, without any realization, as if she had been doing it for ages. He walked towards the lift and she turned back to get in.

She felt his hands grip her waist and pull her into a hug from behind. He placed a longing kiss on her cheeks, "sorry pumpkin, I wont be able to drop you in college today. Hell busy. And yes., we have a party to attend tonight...taiyyar rehna. I will pick you up at sharp 7.."

She gasped with that touch... lightening coursed through her body as she felt like just giving up this fight for a moment...he was so intoxicating.

"party??", she asked breathlessly. And the next moment he just walked away, waving at her, "I have already booked a table for us..."

He had a hard time holding himself back, especially when he knew she loved him a lot yet putting up that fake fight for some past which didn't matter anymore. She didn't understand from where this urge of giving up was arising. Yes, she loved him..she confessed to herself...like a maniac. But she was adamant--why the hell should she give up? but that "us" was somewhere giving her that euphoric feeling. Damn that man rejected his wife on their wedding night! but her inner voice screamed"how does it matter when he loves the girl in her and not just because she was his wife.

She remained spaced out all through her classes. Even Aryan hadn't called up and that didn't bother her as of now. he had been her very good friend after annie but today she was busy with her own feelings. She wondered what kind of party it was... some fancy one or a corporate one! She stood in front of the mirror, wondering what to wear. She had thrown all her dresses on the bed, wondering what to wear.

"think Geet..think and think fast...", she held her head in stress when her eyes fell on the blue sari that dadima had gifted. Perfect! When you are confused about the dress, always go for a sari. They stand out in any occasion. She dressed up beautifully in that sari with a backless blouse. She let her hair down and wore simple earrings and a thin pendant around her neck. It struck 7 and he walked in calling out t her.

"Geet...pumpkin are you..."

He ate his words seeing her stand right in front of him feeling so damn conscious. He himself wore a black suit but hell she was the death of him. Geet had never felt that intense look of his on her... lustful, desirous and hot. She had been so excited for this evening but her mind fought back. She shouldn't raise her hopes. He walked closer, unable to hold himself and held her hand. He placed a kiss on the back of her palm, "you look so beautiful..."

He did not miss that blush that had crept on her cheeks. He felt happy...as he escorted oher out towards the car. His arm slid across her bare waist to hold her close. Both shivered with that touch. Ohh my..it created ripples in them. he consciously held on to her and made her sit in the car and drove off.

She never asked what the party was about and he was too lost in her to even ask. Their heartbeats were erratic. He got off at the venue and went to her side and opened the door for her. she was so floored by his chivalry. The moment she stepped out, there were camera flashes almost making her blind. She got scared for a while until his hand, this time, protectively and possessively, slipped round her waist and pulled her close. He handed the key to the valet and led her in. The media followed them, she noticed...wow he had a very different life outside! Her eyes fell on him, looking straight, bold and confident. Guess she has to get addicted to this side of his life as well. she straightened herself and slipped her hand round his arm and walked in.

They were greeted by so many people, excited to meet Mrs Khurana for the first time. She was a little worried. He sensed that perhaps. He squeezed her to him and nodded in encouragement. The host of the party came with his wife Michelle to Geet him.

"welcome Mr Khurana and we are so glad to have mrs Khurana here as well..", he extended his hand to Geet.

Her chest swelled in pride...mrs khurana..ahh how beautiful it sounded. she grinned a bit but immediately controlled her excitement and curtly shook his hand.

"Meet my pumpkin..."

She glared at him, almost like she could kill him right there. he quickly corrected himself, "I mean my wife, Geet Khurana.."

Michelle and Ryan laughed seeing that cute chemistry between them. Geet was sure she heard Michelle complimenting them as a cute couple. The moment they were left alone, she glared at him angrily, "ye kya pumpkin pumpkin laga rakha hain sabke saamne?"

She was hell embarrassed with him calling her like that in front of everyone. He made a baby face, "you really are a pumpkin...tho aur kya kehta! Galti se sachai mere muh se nikal gayi...sorry wifey!"

"maan...stop it...", she was damn irritated. He never leaves a chance to irritate her. he sighed and leaned closer to whisper in her ears, "you are so boring pumpkin. If I'd have known if you would be like this, I'd have brought my gf instead..."

She fumed..what the hell is wrong with this man!!! Just them Michelle joined them, "Mr Khurana, mind if we borrow your pumpkin for a while..." she winked, "I want to introduce her to some ladies.."

Geet was so so so damn angry. She looked at maan accusingly and he pretended not to notice, enjoying her plight!!

"sure... please do take care of my pumpkin michelle.."

Michelle laughed seeing Geet react to his tease, "sure Mr Khurana. You needn't worry about your pumpkin.."

She stressed a bit on that 'your pumpkin' word, "hope you wouldn't mind Geet..."

Geet smiled, controlling her anger, "not a problem at all.."

Maan watched her as she got involved in gossiping with the ladies, in between stealing glaces...achtually shooting him murderous looks. Everyone now seemed to know that she was the pumpkin'.

He involved himself with his clients and talking to people, not even once taking his eyes off that blue beauty. Instead, he kept himself right beside her, at a distance. He was surprised to see her so good in managing talks and people. His mind went back to the night of their wedding when he had told her that she wouldn't be able to match up to his status and that she couldn't even speak properly. Damn hell, she was so good. her English was more than awesome and she carried herself so well. he felt so pathetic..actually very bad that he had created this distance between them all by himself.
