MaNan FF - Temptation to make you mine #Note on pg 29 - Page 11

"Don't pinch my cheeks. I am not a child. "I told him as I swat his hand away from my cheek.

"Baby Girl! Did I need to remind you what I told you being child in your room when you came out wearing that tweety nightdress? "He asked me as he picked a leaf from rose bushes and star examines it turning it around in a bored manner while I blush at the mention of tweety dress.

He said again, "What?" as he let the leaf to flutter to the ground.

"Baby Girl! Don't call me that. "I told him.

"But", he stopped walking and glanced over at me, "You're just so..."

And to my surprise, he lifted his hand towards my cheek and I in a reflex slapped his hand away.

He winched and stared at me while I give him an unbelievable expression.

"Were you just about to pinch my cheeks again? Even after I asked you to stop doing that."

Manik grumbled something under his breath as he rubbed the hand I had slapped. He gave me a pointed look. "You always turn to violence."

"Only when someone don't know their boundaries. " I retort back.

"Oh, so..."He smirked and turns to face me, his chocolate eyes trained on mine and I feel something flutter inside me.

Maybe the butterflies they always talk about in novel.

"So we have boundaries now. "He asked me while his eyes twinkle with naughtiness.

I frowned. "There are always boundaries; you've just never cared enough to find out."

Aiyappa knows what's happening inside his mind. But I feel trouble.

He was quiet for several moments as he gazed at the roses and start plucking it from the plant but not before checking the surrounding for any professor and gardener. After he had a bunch of roses in his hand he starts examining it.

Aiyappa I wish Gardner or any professor will catch him now. His expression will be worth watch.

"No pinching on cheek? "He asked

"Yes, it's annoying. I'm not a chi...I mean I'm not Santa little elves that you keep pinching my cheeks "I said stopping myself from saying child as he will again give the justification as why I'm child which lead to that tweety nightdress and then me blushing.

He nodded his head and looked up at me, his eyes now fully trained on me and I feel my heart jump in my chest., "How do you feel about kissing? "He asked in his deep and sexy voice.

My eyes widened and mouth got open In O shape. I stared at him,"W...What?" I stutter.

He stepped forward making the gap between us much smaller that air also not pass between us, making it harder for me to breathe. "Kissing, Baby Girl, do your boundaries allowed it? "He asked me again as he kept his eyes lock on mine.

I maintain the eye lock with him as I tried to calm myself. I can feel myself blushing as heat start rising towards my cheek. Damn that guy for always making me speechless. But out of nowhere my eyes zero on his lips and then the idea of kissing don't seem all bad to me.

What am I thinking? Aiyappa please evaporates such dirty thoughts from my mind.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? "My voice came out strong. I cannot let him know that what am I feeling and what thoughts are running in my mind which have his lips and a wall and ... Snap out of it Nandani.

Ok stop. Not again .Aiyappa what is all this.

He didn't take his eyes away from nor he distance himself from me as he asked again, "Answer the question Baby Girl. "

"I don't know. It depends on who it is." I replied him taking as step back from him to make a distance between us so that I can think rationally.

But that jerk take a step forward and said "Me."

I blush again at his open admission.

He start taking step forward and I start taking step back and it result in me cornering against the tree.

What all you think that I will corner again the wall.

"Did your boundaries allow me to kiss you. "He asked me again.

"I think you know the answer of that. "I said in a calm voice keeping my butterflies in check from whenever they decide to show and keeping my hand on his chest push him away.

He stumbles back in surprise as he didn't except that move from me while the distance between us make me think rationally.

I did not understand how the situation escaped so quickly. One minute I am crying second minute he is consoling me and third minute we are discussing that where my boundaries allow me to kiss him or not.

I glared at that jerk while he looked like he is just about to burst into laughing. I turned around and walking inside the college to go for my class.

I yell loudly behind my back "You Jerk, haven't you ever heard of personal space?"

"Is that a yes?" he asked amusement clear in his voice.

"Shut Up. "I replied while he laughs in the return.

I look down to find the bunches of red roses in my hand which Manik is collecting, from where did I get that bunches in my hand but whatever it is I inhale the fragrance of roses and blush hard at my stupidity.
