OS: The Most Important News
The entire discussion flew like a breeze of wind. She couldn't meet his gaze and he would be frequently calling out her name to get her attention. Not to forget, his eyes would directly or indirectly land upon her at the end of every sentence. She couldn't believe it. One of the most interesting topics was being debated upon, and she couldn't care less. That was the power of a kiss. And not any other kiss. A kiss by him.
They both knew that kiss was completely professional. It had to be a surprise for her to elicit that slap from her as a reflex. He knew it. She understood it. What both of them couldn't understand was the swarm of feelings and sensations that had passed in between them in that split second. Neither of them could dismiss it or forget about it.
The moment he announced the end of the discussion, she raced out of the set without warning. She heard Ronny call out her name but she chose to ignore it. She entered her make up room and latched it from inside.
"Oh. Good. Privacy. People in our country desperately need more of that", came the deep yet casual voice of none other than Mr. Kabir Sharma, leaning against the wall, in a dark corner of the room, his hands in his trouser pockets.
She jumped at his voice like a victims in horror movies do at every creaking sound. She placed a hand on her heart to calm herself down and she composed herself.
"Sir, this is the ladies dressing room. You aren't allowed in here", she said avoiding his scrutinizing gaze.
"Thank you so much for pointing out the most obvious rules on this planet Miss Kashyap. I wouldn't have to breach any of those rules if you would stop doing that exceedingly annoying thing where you don't look me in the eyes as if you have committed the most horrendous crime on this planet by kissing me", he said in one breath and in an even tone all the while his eyes fixated on her face which transformed from embarrassed to scandalized and finally to anger. How dare he?
"I. Did. Not. Kiss. You" she enunciated every word carefully and this time she said it looking at him straight in the eye.
"To be fair, you did not. I didn't give you time to reciprocate", he said smugly.
Oh he thought he was so smooth at this. He wanted to play. So be it.
"I think I reciprocated just fine with that slap, sir", she retorted back, letting her lips curve into a smile.
"See now that's because I wanted you to slap me. I'm certain, had that kiss been under different circumstances," he said, taking a step forward with every word," reciprocation would vastly differ", he breathed out the last few words as he looked down at her and she up at him, his breath fanning her face.
Ananya refused to back down either even though her heart was practically beating in her mouth because of the proximity.
"It's always better to keep that fine line between reality and fiction," she said and took a step back to create some distance but his hand shot out to the small of her back to obliterate all distance again. She looked up at him in shock, her pupils completely dilated.
"Even when fiction is so easy to turn into reality? I think not. Let us at least agree that what transpired between us today, neither of us have experienced that cocktail of sensations in that magnitude ever before. I'm not a man who runs away from his feelings and you wear your heart on your sleeve all the time. So neither of us need the signboards that other fools require to know that what we shared was extremely special albeit for a split second and it would be a crime to ignore it", he blurted out what he thought was the most important piece of news he had delivered in his entire life. And only she needed to hear it. It was only for her ears.
She could only nod. She had a lot of questions and doubts screaming in her mind but right now in that moment, she just wanted to stand there against his chest and his arm at her back.
"So now that we agree on that, let us take our time to figure things out and make them less complicated than they are, alright?" he cupped her face, waiting for her approval.
"Alright", came the response, soft yet confident.
He kissed her lightly and tentatively on the lips, and this time she rose to meet his lips and so did her hands but only to wound them around his neck.
The End
