Avanti tilted her heard towards the car window as she waited for Virat. They were going out of town for a meeting and Zubair had asked them both to represent him and the company.
"Where did this khadoos go?" She mumbled to herself while eyes stared at the door waiting for him. As she continued to wait she didn't' notice when she dozed off.
"Finally found it!" Virat let out a sigh of relief as he held the blue file in his hand.
He existed out the company's door and walked towards his car.
"Sorry, I know I'm late but I was looking for the blue file." He turned his face only to notice Avanti asleep. He moved himself closer to her, his eyes lingered onto her face.
"She looks so cute when her mouth is shut."
His eyes traced the features of her face and suddenly a smirk decorated his lips as he shifted his eyes to the steering wheel.
"HONK HONK!!"
"Ahhh!" Avanti let out a scream as she placed her hand on her racing heart.
Virat broke into laughter as he saw her scared like that.
"Virat!" She yelled his name angrily.
"You will never stop playing those dirty tricks. Idiot!"
She gave him an angry look and turned her face towards the window. Virat continued to smile as he drove away.
They reached the building where the meeting was held and both exited out the car and entered the building together.
Mr. Sanjay, a young and tall good looking man welcomed them in when he knew they were representing Zubair's company. Virat and Avanti tried their best to represent the company in a good way and they presented various ideas that amused Mr. Sanjay.
"It's so wonderful to see such young folks like you guys with all this dedication and love towards their work. I must say I'm impressed."
"Thank you sir." Avanti spoke as her eyes sparkled with joy.
"Thank you very much." Virat added.
"We are going to hold a success party today to celebrate the success of our company. I would really love it if you guys could attend."
Virat and Avanti shifted their eyes to each other as if taking consent from one another before replying.
"We'd love to." They replied almost together.

He glanced at his watch to check the time and walked out the door. He paced back and forth outside Avanti's room as he continued to peek at his watch every now and then.
"Oye, Miss Bansal jaldi karo. The party is going to end before we reach there." He knocked the door impatiently.

"Hey, Mr. Khadoos." She broke his chain of thoughts as she snapped her fingers in his face.
"Kaisi lag rahi hoon main?" She twirled in her purple dress as she waited for his answer.
Virat gulped before saying anything.
"Woh..." Just as he was about to speak, Avanti cut him as she noticed the time.
"Oh god, we are getting late. Let's go." She headed before him while he followed her to the car and they drove off.
*************************************************************************************
When they got to the party Mr. Sanjay welcomed both of them in.
"Miss Avanti, you're looking very beautiful." He spoke as his eyes were glued to her.
"Thank you." She spoke shyly, while Virat gave a disapproving annoyed look.
Avanti seated herself in one of the chairs that cornered the table and Virat went to get himself a drink. He continued to raise his eyes every now and then to stare at her. She was looking gorgeous today and he felt like gazing at her forever. He took a sip from his drink and went back to hunt for Avanti with his eyes, but he couldn't find her where she was seated.
His eyes searched between the crowds. "Where did she disappear?" He thought to himself. His eyes fell on the dance floor where he spotted her dancing with Mr. Sanjay. He clutched his fist as the anger reflected in his eyes and his blood felt like lava traveling through his veins.
"Excuse me." A soft voice diverted his attention.
"Would you like to dance with me?" A young lady stood beside him a friendly smile drawn on her lips.
He looked at her and then looked back at Avanti, who was still dancing with Mr. Sanjay and unaware of Virat's piercing eyes watching her.
"Yes. My pleasure." He spoke with a fake smile planted on his face.
They walked to the dance floor and began to dance while Virat's eyes continued to look towards Avanti's direction.
The couples continued to dance when virat and Avanti's eyes interlocked with each other across the dance floor. She noticed his stinging eyes following her every move and when she noticed the girl he was dancing with wrapping her arms around him and pushing herself closer to him with each dance step, she felt something turning in her stomach. Why is it bothering her so much seeing this girl so close to him? Why is she feeling something burning inside of her? She continued to dance with Sanjay while her eyes still on Virat who was still dancing with the girl a couple of inches away from her.
"You know Mr. Sanjay, you're one of the few people that can perfectly dance." She complimented him in a loud voice making sure Virat could hear.
"Oh thank you. You're a great dancer yourself." He replied with a smile.
"You must have had a bad dance partner before." He let out a small chuckle.
"Yeah one of my colleagues." She spoke loudly again making sure Virat is hearing her words.
Virat's eyes narrowed giving Avanti a deadly stare as his face contorted in furry. Without further thought he excused himself from the girl he was dancing with and walked towards Avanti and Mr. Sanjay. Avanti's heart beats increased and her eyebrows drew together as she bit down her lower lip. "Oh god he is really coming." She thought to herself as her heart continued to race.
"Ahem." Virat cleared his throat. "May I please?" He placed his hand forward hinting to dance with Avanti.
"If you don't mind." He turned his face to speak to Mr. Sanjay.
"Oh not at all. Go ahead." Mr. Sanjay excused himself and left Virat and Avanti on the dance floor.
Avanti stood there staring at him as she felt her face heat up. She nervously and slowly forwarded her hand into his, resting her other hand on his shoulder. He locked his fingers with hers while his other hand fit perfectly behind her petite waist pushing her closer into him. She inhaled his scent and her body tightened with arousal. What was happening to her? It was as if she had lost all control over her body.
"Miss Bansal." His deep voice guided her back to the present.
"So you think I'm a bad dancer huh?"
She gazed into his warm chocolate eyes and almost drowned in them.
"Avanti stop looking into his eyes." A voice inside her head spoke to her.
The song Zara Si Dil Mein De Jagah Tu started to play in the background as their bodies swayed with the music.
zara si dil mein de jagah tu
zara sa apna le banaa
zara sa khaabon mein sajaa tu
zara sa yaadon mein basaa
main chaahun tujhko meri jaan bepanaah
fidaa hoon tujhpe meri jaan bepanaah
Their eyes glued on each other refusing to blink as their hearts continued to race and their bodies heated up from the close proximity. His breathing became shallow as he felt her petite waist settled in the palm of his hand while her bosom met his chest sending electricity through every bone in his body. She felt so warm and secure as his protective arms tightened around her. Even if the world would topple over, she will not care as long as she was in his arms.
The music stopped and the clapping of the people brought both of them back to their senses. Slowly and unwillingly both removed their hands off of each other, while their eyes hinted something else.
Mr. Sanjay thanked the guests for coming and wished them all a good night.
They walked towards the car both silent and feeling a bit awkward after the romantic dance they had shared inside. Neither one of them spoke a word as they seated themselves in the car and drove away.
As they got back to their hotel, Virat pulled his car keys and was about to step out of his car when he noticed Avanti had fallen asleep. A small smile escaped his lips as he saw her sleeping silently like a sleeping beauty. He tried to wake her up by repeating her name three times but she didn't wake up. He turned around to open the door for her and slowly and very carefully picked her up in his arms. She cuddled her face into his chest while her arm wrapped around his neck. His heart skipped its beats as her head settled on to his chest, filling him with a feeling of warmth and comfort. He carried her into her hotel room and placed her on the bed and tried to move himself away when he noticed her arm still around his neck as if refusing to separate herself from him. He stared at her innocent face which was a few inches away from him, her warm breath brushing the side of his face.
What was happening to him? Why does he feel as if Avanti is a magnet and he can't help it but get pulled towards her? His eyes fell on her luscious lips and he went back into the flashback when she had kissed him. Something inside of him wanted to experience that feeling again. He wanted to feel those soft lips melting into his and quenching his thirst. He leaned himself closer to her as his dreamy eyes observed her lips.
"Virat what are you doing? Control yourself." A voice inside his head made him realize what he was about to do. He carefully yet quickly removed her arm that circled his neck, and placed it on the side of her bed as he tucked the blanket around her. Moving his feet away from her bed, he turned his face towards the door. He knew he had to get out or else he would not be able to control himself. He walked out without looking back again as he closed the door.
As he got inside his room and was about to change his shirt, he noticed something shiny hanging on the corner of his tie. A smile reached his eyes before his lips as he identified it as Avanti's earing. Holding it between his two fingers, he sat on the side of his bed, his head resting on the pillow while his mind replayed the night.
