Since majority prefers two FF's at a time . . . so from now on, I will only update Fall out and BSLS, until they complete . . . then I'll start with the rest . . . but I might update those once in a blue moon if I get bored of writing these two which I hope should not happen, BSLS should end in another 30 parts for all I know and Fall Out will also b max 40 parts . . .
BTW . . . I am really lazy to read it again, like always and when accidently my eyes will fall on the update later on . . . I will see quite a lot of mistakes and well, really silly mistakes . . . and by then majority of you would have already read it, so what's the point editing . . . in short please ignore the typo . . .
RECAP
When he least expected her to say anything she was in for giving him a good shock.
"Can I ask you a question" Geet asked.
"Go on" Maan replied as he staring at the sky.
"Why do I feel butterflies in my stomach when you touch me?"
Chapter 24
"Opening up or endless banter"
Slithering his hands up her waist he pulled her closer to him as she stared at him expressionless. His hand slipped in her hair as he bent his head and nuzzled her earlobe, taking in her intoxicating scent. Slamming his body onto hers, he kissed her neck as she held onto his collar pulling him further close to her.
Seeing a water droplet slide down her jaw, he instantly sucked at it. Locking her hands behind his neck, she tiptoed on her heels as she pecked him on the lips. The moment he felt her lips touch his own, jitters ran through his nerves. The feeling of her lips against his own had not yet even seeped in completely when he felt her parting from him. He smiled slightly as he saw her cheeks turn the darker shade of pink. He drew her towards him as her eyes shied from him.
Cupping her face he moved his lips closer to hers as she closed her eyes and a smile formed at her lips, and she puckered for a kiss.
Bending his mouth over hers he captured her lips in a tender kiss. He was kissing her senseless when . . .
"Why do I feel butterflies in my stomach when you touch me?" Geet repeated her question as she took a step away from him. That brought him out of his revere.
She looked at him expecting an answer and all he could think of was how enchanting were her eyes.
God . . . he was day dreaming.
Maan froze.
What the hell was he . . . he did not dream about kissing . . . he couldn't . . . he shouldn't.
Geet cleared her throat, desperately wanting him to clear her query.
Well, the good thing was she was affected by his touch, and the bad thing was she wanted him to tell her why she was affected by him. Out of all people, he fell for her.
Wait a minute.
Fell for her. Where the hell does that come from? He was attracted to her nothing more.
"Did I not make it clear I am a MAN" It was a statement not a question.
"Where does that come from" There she was asking him why she felt the weird feelings whenever he touched her, and he was talking about his gender. Well, by then she knew without a doubt he was very much a Man.
"How will I know what girls feel and why they feel" Maan replied. He played it safe. He knew she wouldn't try dissecting his statement. At least he hoped she doesn't but with Geet around nothing was predictable.
"Oh" Geet was immersed in deep thought.
She fell for it. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'll ask Meera" Geet muttered.
Turns out his respite was short lived.
He sure did not want her go about asking people what she felt and why she felt, especially not when it concerned him. By the way, who was this Meera girl?
"Geet you know, you should drop the idea of asking . . . uh . . . your . . . Personal . . . uh . . . questions to random people" Maan said, trying to fish for words. Maan Singh Khurana was fishing for words. Now that was a first.
"Meera is not some random person, you know, she's my best friend, well, more like an elder sister" Geet said "Oops my bad . . . she is not just my friend she is my would-be sister in law. . . I love the sound of it" Geet smiled as she bit her lower lips in happiness.
Then Geet started laughing as Maan looked at her shocked.
What was so funny?
He scanned himself from head to toe, in case he was the laughing stock but to him everything seemed normal.
Why was she laughing?
"You know what . . . till a month back I had no hopes my brother would propose her ever. They have been in love for the last five years and you won't believe they have never voiced their affection for each other, not once. In fact they rarely spoke a full sentence with each other, and whenever they did, it would either be about me or about their professions. I was dead sure if left to them, they would never confess. So naturally, since I very badly a sister in law, we had to . . ." Geet paused as she looked at him and continued shortly after "We . . . me and Pari, the girl who saved me from aunty that day in the hospital, She is a darling, since childhood we have been like always Together-Together in everything . . . once we put a frog in Veju's . . . Oh, how would you know who Veju is . . . he is my elder brother, so where was I . . . yes . . . frog . . . so like this time we put a frog in his school bag and . . .
Maan cut her in between as he said "And you got chided"
Geet hit her forehead with her palm "Nope . . . who says so, let me continue and this time don't interfere, where was I . . . yeah . . . and then apparently the same day one of Veju's class mate lost some money so the teachers checked each and every students bag and . . .
"He got a thrashing" Maan cut her yet again.
"Nope . . . will you let me continue . . . don't cut in again" Geet commanded.
"So then, since Veju was among the favourites of the teachers they did not scold him just gave him a written warning and informed Grand pa about the whole episode then . . .
"I know, then he came back home and you got a good lecture from him" Maan cut her yet again as she frowned.
Geet shot shim a glare as he gulped "Oh God, what is it with you and guessing. Nope . . . once and for all, I did not get scolded. So he came back home, he knew it was my doing and somewhere even grand pa knew it was my prank, when Grand pa was about to call me, Veju stopped him saying he'd kept the frog in his bag to scare his friends . . . he took my blame upon him, always does and when I tried telling the truth he stopped me. Veju is like the BEST BROTHER anyone could wish for. Look main bhi na, batana kya tha batane kya lagi, I was talking about Veju and Meera right, so getting back to the topic, like . . . they weren't making a move so me and Pari took the cue and set them up . . . we made it look like Meera was engaged and going to marry someone else and that did break the ice like . . . so he barged into her clinic, oh yes, Meera is doctor, so like, he barged in and proposed just two days back"
Saying so Geet chuckled as she looked at Maan AND within the next moment she was blabbering again "You must be wondering how I know he proposed as I am here and he in Chandigarh, Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you he is in Chandigarh. So like don't stress your brain, Pari has her spies in Meera's clinic who kept us updated. Talk about spies . . ."
And she continued blabbering as Maan adored her.
The way she pushed her hair behind her ear when they tickled her eyes, the graceful movements of her hands as she spoke, the smiles that adorned her full lips, the way she scrunched up her nose when she told talked of something which wasn't to her liking, every single gesture made by her . . . held him enthralled.
He was checking her out.
He had been in denial enough and he needed to clear things in his mind. But for the time being, he just wanted to live the moment . . . with her by his side.
The night passed with her chattering and him listening.
It wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep.
The first light fell over face making her look all the more beautiful. The way her eyes glistened in the morning light, it was a sight to behold. He wanted to capture that moment forever in his mind and soul. At that moment he had lost all earthy sense of time. It was just them and their little Thing. He wanted to remain there forever and keep adoring the angel incarnate and childlike woman in front of him.
Although, they should have started on their journey out of the forest already but he did not have it in him to wake her up, considering she'd just fallen asleep. Not like he would have wanted to wake her up had she slept the whole night, she just looked adorable while sleeping. Some wait won't hurt. They can find their way out she gets up.
He saw her knit her eyebrows as with a slight breeze a strand of hair fell onto her face. Unmindfully he moved closer to her face as he blew at the single strand of hair, which was seemingly tickling her. When the hair refused to stop annoying his angel, he tucked it behind her ear, tracing her ear line with the tip of his forefinger.
He saw the uncomfortable way her head was dangling in mid air, as she struggled to sleep in a comfortable position. He moved further close to her as he let her head rest at his shoulder.
It was then she snuggled into him. Her hands encircled round his waist as she clung to him in her slumber. Unwittingly his hands moved behind her back holding her firmly at the shoulders.
Precap: "AS . . ." Geet screamed as she ran and threw her arms around the man standing next to Aditya as Maan seethed.
I am not in mood of leaving a cliff hanger . . . hence no cliff hanger this time . . . I hope this was worth the wait . . . next update will most certainly be day after . . . SO J will force him to accept his feelings . . . 😆 oh yeah even geet will think abt stuff😆
