Chapter 3!!!
It was very late and she still wasn't home. He had done something that he had never done before. Drinking. He had managed to get his hands on an old bottle of scotch and he decided that he needed a drink. Half a bottle later well past 8 pm, he heard her coming in.
She saw him as she walked in the door. She saw him sitting alone in nothing but his jeans with a bottle of alcohol and cursed him in her head. He looked up at her with blood shot eyes.
"Where have you been?" he asked her.
She was furious that he was drinking in the house and she was losing her patience.
"Out"' she said as she decided that it would be best if they didn't speak tonight. At least not while he was in this state.
"Did lunch run long with your new boyfriend?? Did he end up taking you out for dinner as well???" he asked her sounding very angry.
"That's really none of your business" she said.
"Oh so you do admit that he is your boyfriend then?"
"Like I said it's none of your business" she said walking away.
"That's really none of your business" she said.
"Oh so you do admit that he is your boyfriend then?"
"Like I said it's none of your business" she said walking away.
He was on his feet and almost ran to her. He grabbed her hand bag and threw it on the floor. He then walked towards her like a lion ready to pounce on her. She was backed into a corner and realized that he was furious.
"It is my business. So tell me, how is your new boyfriend?" he asked again
"I want to go to my room" she said.
"You can leave when I tell you to leave" he said
"We're not going to talk while your in this state" she said firmly.
"What state? After a few drinks? What the hell are you complaining about. Your the god damn reason for the state I'm in Kushi Kumari Gupta" he said sneering at her.
She managed to sneak under him and ran towards the coffee table. She was determined to grab her stuff and get to her room. As she sprinted towards the sofa, he was right behind her.
"Where are you trying to run off too" he asked her standing behind her.
She stood their quietly knowing that anything that comes out of her mouth is only going to make matters worse. He took a few steps closer to her and grabbed her hips.
"Tell me, how was your date with your new boyfriend?" he asked her firmly. He was drunk, but he knew what he was saying.
She was surprised by how tightly he held her. And how close they were. She felt his bare chest against her and despite the situation, she knew that their was a stirring in her.
"He's not my boyfriend" she said defiantly.
"Good" he said and got closer to her.
"Because if any other man other than me so much as looks at you, I will break every bone in his body" he said possessively caressing her face.
She was shocked to hear him say it but she was happy that he reacted the way he did. He was jealous and she liked it, she thought appalled by how much it effected her.
"Why do you care anyway?" she asked him knowing why exactly.
They were playing a game. Both of them wanted what they knew they shouldn't want and after the last time they were this close to each other, they knew that their connection was much more than mere chemistry. It was like an animal instinct. She had gone to bed every night thinking of what may have happened that night if he hadn't stopped and so had he.
"Because.." he said running his finger down her face, "every single part of you belongs to me.. these eyes, this stubborn nose, your luscious lips.." he said now running his finger down her neck and towards the front of her top "your body, every single inch of it is mine" he said as he grew harder and harder against her. She could feel him and she wanted more of him.
Suddenly before he could say any more, she had moved her lips to his. It was a bold gesture and it surprised him. He returned her kiss passionately running his fingers through her hair and holding her as close to him as he could.
She tasted delightful and her body against him felt perfect. He wanted more and his kiss got more demanding. He wanted her completely and he knew that he couldn't go on without making her his forever. He slowly moved her towards the couch and laid her down as he continued to search her mouth for some hidden treasure in her mouth with his tongue.
He suddenly pulled back to look at her. They were on the sofa and he way on top of her. Her legs were wrapped around him and she could feel the frame of his body on him. She ran her finger down his bare chest while she tried to catch her breath
"Kushi I can't" he said
"Huh?" she asked disheveled by the moment of passion they shared.
"If we go on, I won't be able to stop" he said sitting up and pulling her up with him.
"Umm.. Ok" she said. This was all new to her and she herself didn't know what would be next.
"We need to talk about this" he said.
"Not when your like this" she said
"I'm still in my senses Kushi. That's why I was able to stop myself" he said looking at her with earnest eyes.
"Ok what do you want to talk about?" she asked him fixing herself.
"Listen, don't be embarrassed.. " he said
She was turning red. The senses of her body had instinctively failed her mind. She didn't know what was happening to her.
"I know you want me as much as I want you Kushi. That much is evident. Do you agree?" he asked her.
She continued staring at him.
"But I can't do this with you unless you love me" he said.
"I understand" she said nodding her head
"So please tell me, do you love me?" he finally asked yearning for an answer.
"I can't answer that" she said
"Why not?" he asked her
"Because to love you, I must trust you. And I don't trust you" she said.
"Kushi I am so sorry for everything that I've said and done. Every single thing was because I was angry. You have to understand. I never ever meant to hurt you, but you are so stubborn that it drives me nuts sometimes. And nothing I have ever done has been intentional" he said tears welling up in his eyes.
"But it's not that easy" she said
"I know and I understand. But how do I fix it?" he asked her
"I don't know" she said looking away from him.
"Ok.. I'll work on that. I'll find a way..." he said
"Thank you" she said as she turned her face towards him.
"You know I don't hate you, it's just I don't know how to take all of this after what happened.. And I'm glad you understand" she continued with tears in her eyes
He reached over to her hand and wrapped his fingers around it.
"It's going to be alright" he said reassuring her.
He leaned over to her and placed a kiss on her cheek. It was gentle. She was moved by the tenderness he showed her.
"Can I walk you to your room Madmosille" he said with a playful smile on his face trying to cheer her up.
"Hehehehehe.. I didn't know you spoke french" she said giggling at his playfulness.
"I don't" he said laughing with her.
He got on his feet and offered his hand to her. She put her hand in his and got off the couch. They walked hand in hand to her room. As she was about to enter her room, she turned towards him.
"Good Night Arnav" she said and reached over and kissed his cheek softly.
His eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. She was being nice to him. And she had used his name!! Not Arnav Ji or Laad Governor.. But just "Arnav"...
She quickly retreated to her room while he stood their amazed. Despite the fact that they had been very intimate a few moments ago, it was the first time that he had felt like she showed him something other than hate or lust or indifference.. And he was surprised.
He walked over into his room and shut his door behind him. He walked towards his bedside table and opened the drawer. He saw his mothers bangles. He picked them up and took it to his window. He looked up at the stars and smiled "Soon Ma, I promise.. I will make sure she never takes them off again this time" he said as he looked up at the sky and wondered if his mother was listening to him.
