"That just means that he is half f**ked now and not full-f**ked like before. Either way, Brown Sugar, he is f**ked." 😆

Did the mighty ASR seriously just flirt with her? And that too, with that cheesy line? 😆


Haha! EPIC!
Your updates are so much fun! They always make me smile! :D

i love the story!!

He stepped closer to her and the long whiskers of his Wolverine beard tickled her ears as he said, "Dynamite has too many syllables. Sugar sounds much better." With that, he walked onto the dining room, making her stare after him in a convoluted mix of disbelief and confusion.

Chapter 26: I Thought You Were Someone Else

She knew she was going to get pulled aside at some point and grilled and it came just as the pungent aroma of the catered feast in the dining room wafted out to overpower the leather that she had been smelling all day under her mask. Just as her mouth watered, she felt someone clamp onto her wrist and pull her back from the crowd pouring into the dining room. Her first instinct was to jerk back and elbow him, but she knew it was Arnav and thus she resisted the urge.

She didn't realize that she was wrong until she was pulled back behind the curtain and against one of the columns that lined the hallway on that side, which was blessedly empty. As soon as he raised his hand to lift up her mask, she caught it again with the intention of knocking it away, but before she could, he caught her hand in his.

"Why the hell are you here?" he asked.

"Why, do you own the entire country that no one else is allowed to visit?" she asked him, trying to take her hand back. He held on, now tighter than before.

He ignored the question and instead asked, "Since when is your name Vaibhavi?"

"I don't have to put up with any third degree from you. Let go of my hand!"

It only made his grip tighten around her wrist, now painfully, as he bit out,

"Listen you little shit! That stunt that you pulled got my name dragged through the mud and then some. I had a restraining order against that crazy chick – as if I would touch that psycho with a ten-foot pole – and she wanted to press charges for sexual harassment. Sexual f**king harassment!! Do you know what that can do to a man who is a foreign national doing his Master's in American soil? And that too a man who is from a part of the world that casts suspicion if he even moves the wrong way? Do you, you rich, snobby, pseudo-intellectual little f**k who thinks that feminism is the sole excuse to ruin a man's honor and respect? The only things that are of any true value! You don't know how it is to go back to classes and know that there are whispers from at least a few of the students who had heard the rumors? You don't know what it is like to live with that stain of doubt on your character forever, do you?" He almost shouted as he smacked the back of her hand against the column, making her wince. He appeared startled when he realized what he had done and uttered an automatic 'sorry' as he let her hand go. He was breathing hard by then and his senses seemed to return to him slowly as he looked around them both to see if anyone was listening.

When he was assured there wasn't, he turned back to her, "I may be rude at times, but I have never ever given unwanted sexual attention to a woman!"

Just as he started to turn to leave, she spoke up. "What about earlier today?"

That stopped him for a brief moment. She wished in that moment that he would pull off the Nightwing mask so that she could see his face.

He didn't really look back at her as he said, "I thought you were someone else."

And then he pulled up the curtain and walked back in, leaving her alone.

She rubbed her hands where her knuckles had slammed against the column and knew that her skin would have bruises there under the black leather.

She had found out too late that he had been innocent. That the "crazy chick"- as he had called Samantha – was actually a bit unstable and that the girl had been stalking him for close to six months. But by then, she had become Samantha's champion in the case to bring justice to her against the Indian guy who had taken her out of a date and had then tried to force himself on her. At no point in those first few weeks had she any doubts about Samantha's story. It wasn't until later, when she had started digging into the story a bit deeper as she thought some things didn't add up, that she had discovered that all was not as it seemed. By then, Rajeev had been ordered by the Dean's office at Harvard to not be on campus at the same time as Samantha and the onus was on him to figure out where she would be so that he wouldn't be there at the same time. It had been his last year at Harvard and because of the details of the case and the fact that Samantha had ended up recanting her charge against him and because people at the Dean's office knew him well enough that they never truly believed Samantha's story, he had been allowed to finish his program and graduate. Before she could find him and apologize for her part in the entire debacle, he had already returned to India. And she had honestly never thought that she would run into him again, and certainly not like this.

She walked back in towards the main hallway to go into dinner now, lest her absence be noticed by Arnav, who would raise hell. When she arrived inside the dining room, she saw that he was indeed looking around for her. She walked to his side and he immediately launched into a "where the hell have you been?" and she managed to calm him down with the age-old "had to use the loo" excuse. She knew he was agitated that Rajeev seemed to know her. She looked up to see whether the Nightwing costume was anywhere to be seen and found him next to... Catwoman... the other Catwoman...

What was it that he had said?

I thought you were someone else...

:o
there goes my hopes !!! here i was thinking rajeev n v r exes n u turned d entire plot !!! way to go dear... :)

hmmm rajeev is back of khushi and arnav is also behind khushi but khushi denies liking arnav and vaibhavi certainly is guilty of committing a big mistake.

hmm awesome plot wonder what would happen when she finally shows up and speaks to rajeev
