PART 6

"I just said the truth bookworm, he said smirking as he held her hand that was on the table and leaned further just to kiss her hand. The restaurant was the only Italian restaurant in Manali and Maan had the undue advantage of coming to Manali with his family sometimes for outings and sometimes with his dad for his business meetings, though there would be nothing he could do for business meetings but he loved traveling and being the only child he was showered with love that no one could imagine.

Geet for the first time felt herself warming up with his effort, he had that smile that she now knows was very rare to see. He was wearing a grey turtle neck and she could always see his pale skin complementing the color. His hair was coming on his forehead loosely and she could finally say that Maan Khurana is someone who was very much a mystery for her.

Seeing his beautiful date lost in him, Maan caressed her hand making her come out of her own thoughts.

"Geet...," Maan called her and she looked at him in sheer confusion, he called her with her first name, No names, No bookworm or No Handa. How can her name sounded so different from his mouth, there was no hint of maliciousness, no teasing, just his voice... for the first time, Geet noticed that he can be genuine if he wanted to be.

"you called me Geet. Asked geet with her hazel eyes still filled with the new revelation.

"Well, isn't it your name. said Maan smiling and she looked away, his gaze itself was making her shy. this was the first time any guy has asked her out.

Well, he didn't ask her in a conventional way, but he literally forced her, but she was not regretting it coming with one the most desired guy of her school. They were in the same school. They shared same classes and she was no fool that he can be intelligent when he wanted to be, just like last time he came second with just five points behind her and now to he was amongst the top five of the class. he does what he likes and his moods, she concluded.

"You never called me Geet", she questioned him this time and he was quick to remind her that it was not the first time he was calling her geet.

"I called you Geet when we were partners last year, we were pretty much cordial with each other. I hadn't called you names during that entire course when we were partnered. Not even my favorite Bookworm", he sighed as he revealed that he loved calling her bookworm. There was something in that name that doesn't feel like teasing for the first time. Before they could have talked anything more, their lunch arrived and geet was quite surprised seeing the lavish meal in front of her. The way he had ordered the dishes she felt like it's the high time she should start learning different languages because the boy in front of her was looking quite alluring speaking Italian.

"What should I serve you, Cara? Asked Maan and finding her giving her no response, he looked at her and she asked...

Cara? She questioned, to which he very cheekily replied...

My dear... his words made her blush a bit and she shrugged the feeling that his words were making her feel. She didn't even know that language can also reduce the barriers and he was an expert knowing what would work the next time.

As she found Maan serving her, she found herself at the loss of the words, isn't he doing what a perfect gentleman should do. Once He finished serving both, he gestured her to start. He had added the grape juice for the drinks and after their meal consisting of ravioli, Lasagna and pasta they were served with a different kind of pastry.

Try this, this is their own creation, Maan ushered her as she took a bite. It was filled with chocolate and she found that for the first time Maan's attention was on the dessert in front of him rather than her. He was ravishing the desert and her for the second time found that Maan Khurana has a sweet tooth and this was not the first time she had seen him indulging in sweets. She couldn't help but smile that the arrogant and haughty boy could have a different personality altogether and she was kind of resolved now to know this new maan Khurana.

Meanwhile, Maan looked at geet looking at hi rather than the dessert and he couldn't help but to feel his insides going warm, this girl had the audacity to punch him when they were in class 7^th and slowly make him attracted towards him. Maan had seen her in school uniform from the day first she entered in their class and then those awfully loose tops and jeans she wears but today he was seeing a new Geet Handa altogether. Gathering his thoughts again, he looked chocolate smearing her pink lips and he was reminded of those pink lips on his and how they felt, just like they belonged to him. Geet was again gone to her dessert and it was a sudden action of maan that made her eyes struck at his hands. He was wiping the chocolate from her lips. There was a pin drop silence and Geet felt her heartbeat rising, this gesture of his was feeling even more intimate than the last kiss they shared.

As Maan wiped the chocolate that was smeared on her lips. Geet felt her getting conscious as his hands touching the corner of her mouth with the tissue. He smiled slightly and she relaxed as he passed her the tissue.

Wipe your mouth, he asked her, and she found him again staring at her. She had found him looking at her for some time now. She finally asked him. He seemed to be distracted and she was finding it difficult for herself to remain quiet now. Was something wrong with her that he was staring, she thought, and it was not much time when she voiced her thoughts.

Is everything fine, is there something on my Face? She asked and Maan nodded in a No.

I never knew you look like this in Indian outfits, I already know pink really suits but this pink suit is making you look gorgeous Geet... His words made her look at him with astonished expression. He was voicing his thoughts and he was sounding very genuine.

Maan was lost in words when he had seen her coming towards the pickup point and seeing her looking all dolled up he found himself staring at those caramel colored eyes, wavy long hair. They don't seem to be frizzy at all he thought, and that pink suit was hugging her curves that he didn't even know she had. Those ridiculous dresses don't even do one percent of justice, thought Maan. He couldn't even say how complementing Slight dark pink cashmere sweater was engulfing her petite form, he had made a mental note to ask her to wear only Indian dresses whenever they will go out. He was feeling something that would make him lose his all self-control. The girl in front of him was not his enemy, she was a beautiful mess, the one who had punched him on his face. The one who doesn't even think that before saying anything. She was beautiful, those light brown eyes, that he thought were full were now always up to some mischief. He can never forget; she was his partner in science project last year and made him do the work that he found most was not needed but had he had complied to her demand.

Suddenly Maan found her looking at a case he was carrying, and he looked at the case and realized that he didn't give her the gift he had brought for her. How stupid I am, again Maan's conscience chided him and he finally gave her the first gift that he had managed to get for her.

Here, this is for you, he held the case and gave her.

Geet was first confused, coming for lunch or unofficial date was one thing but here he was offering her something, the cover looked ancient and she for once didn't question and took it from his hands. Maan waited for geet to open the case and as soon as she did, she was quite surprised seeing a book in the case.

Pride and prejudice. she asked as she looked at the perfect picture of Jane Austen's novel. She had never expected him to give her a book, least of all a book that could perfectly describe them, before she could voice her thoughts, he voiced them himself.

Yes, pride and prejudice. I feel this could make you feel, how prejudiced I was, and my pride was not letting me see what I was missing. I have read this three- times already and I feel we are a perfect example of Darcy and Elizabeth of modern times. Don't you think so? Maan's few words summarized their unofficial relationship. He was blaming himself she concluded... or was he hinting at both of us? She questioned herself.

Amazed at his words, she found herself questioning him again.

You read Jane Austen'?? Geet for the first time found herself so stupid for questioning him, she knew he was an avid reader like herself, she herself had seen the book in his room last night and he had already confessed that he had read it three times already.

I read classics... his reply made her look at him and she knew that he was not what he pretends at least. Getting herself all -ready to get the answers she cannot still fathom that he had all worked up for getting her on a Date.

Why me? she asked a simple question.

Because I always thought to get someone who is equal to me in all aspects. His words made her realize that she really needs to clear his confusions soon. Was he expecting something? Did she commit a mistake by coming here, but he was so genuine in his twisted approach she found her mind answering her.

Look Maan, this time maan was amazed hearing his name from her lips. Suddenly he found his name never seemed so appealing, But she seemed serious he thought.

This was just one lunch and we are done now; I don't know what you are expecting from me, but I know I am not the one who would want a quick fling in a school. I have more things to do and I really don't understand your sudden changing nature. You don't like me, in fact, you never liked me. Think this lunch as classmates and thank you for a perfect afternoon. She was about to get up and leave but maan held her hand and asked her genuinely.

I asked you, because I really want to give us a try Geet, I am really sorry for calling you names, teasing you but things changed sometime during last year, he confessed for the first time. "you were so beautiful while working and believe me I have never seen a swot like yourself. His words earned him a glare, but he was quick enough to smile and continued.

Cara Mia, please give me a chance. I know you don't like me, but I promise I would prove you wrong, you are the first girl I had found myself going out of the way to please. You are perfect and I really like you when you are all engrossed in a book, he voiced out as he had imagined both of them working together.

You are different Geet, Please Cara Mia... again hearing Cara mia she scrunched her eyebrow and he was quick to reply to her.

My beloved... Mishty, my lovely bookworm please... she found herself smiling at him and this time she sat down and laughing making him smile too.

Maan Khurana, nothing can be done of you... but believe me, I don't want this school fling to be out soon and you bragging to your friends. She threatened him and he was quick to correct her.

Didn't I tell you, we Khurana's court with her purpose to date and then eventual marriage, you are not any fling Cara. She shrugged his words, but he was quick to remind her that he would see that in eventual years to come. He was solid on his stance to have her in his life and he would do that proudly in some years.
