Chapter Six
It was difficult to say if the stranger he was dancing with was a good dancer or not as she clearly couldn't dance wearing the sandals! She kept falling in his arms and finally giving up used his arms as support to steady herself. Finally managing to steady herself she let him lead her which made her break into a biggest smile ever as she finally danced in peace.
Arnav has been to way to many society parties.Heck! he has himself thrown way too many society parties. This girl did not belong here. This girl was vibrating innocence. If it was any other lady at her place that lady would have been mortified to be noticed stumbling infront of anyone and would have apologised and immediately withdrawn herself to rest room and probably cried her eyes out. Society girls are taught how to walk gracefully since their teens and they don't even walk they somehow glide! That proved his point that this lady in his arms did not belong here at all. But Arnav also knew she must have gotten an invitation as no one was allowed in this party without an invitation card.
The girl intrigued his curiosity so much he ended up asking her for a dance.
Her dancing style, which was so different from others, again proved his point that she did not belong here at all.
"How old are you?" Arnav found himself asking her knowing very well to ask a lady her age is very rude and offending.
"I'm twenty five" She immediately replied without the slightest bit of hesitance shocking Arnav yet again.
Khushi didn't want him to think he was dancing with a kid. She was after all only twenty. Wanting to sound all mature and sophisticated than she really was, she added five years to her age and even smiled a radiant smile to make it sound all convincing.
Again that dazzling smile! Who is this girl?
The rest of the dance they danced in silence with Khushi concentrating on getting the dance moves right while chewing her lips vigorously and Arnav concentrating on figuring out this girl in his arms who was actually behaving slightly like a child.
"Thank you so much for the dance" Khushi said as soon as the dance ended.
"You're welcome" Arnav replied.
As Khushi made a move to leave Arnav couldn't help but say "although I'd go to the ladies room to fix my lipstick if I were you"
Khushi turned around and asked "why?"
"you chewed it off while concentrating on dancing" Arnav couldn't help but chuckle .
"Hai devi maiya" Khushi gasped out loud! She started making a mad dash towards the upstairs ladies room when she also heard him say "I'd take off the shoes before running too"
Heeding his suggestion, she took the shoes in her hands and ran towards the upstairs room.
...
Today was one of the best days in her life Khushi mused while standing in the poolside.
She dressed like a princess, behaved like a princess and even danced like a princess.
Khushi felt like a true cinderella.
She twirled in happiness and then realized that that the bottom of the dress twirled really gracefully. She had always wanted to wear a dress like this!
So she twirled and twirled making her dress twirl with her when she suddenly hit something.
"We meet again" he asked...
"Why aren't you in the party?" she asked...
"I can ask you the same question" he replied "but I'll reply anyways...it's because I'm bored"
"Really!! I felt like Cinderella today" Khushi
"Cinderella?" Arnav tilted his head amused...
"yes I wore a pretty dress, I came to a party, I danced, I ate , I even wore glass slippers" Khushi started telling animatedly not knowing whom she was actually telling all this to.
"you know what Cinderella does at the end of the party?" He asked coming close to her.
"runs away" Khushi says matter-of-factly
"before that?"
"what??"
"she kisses prince charming" Arnav said and brought his mouth very close to hers. He was just joking, wanting to mess with her head. Somehow he felt the urge to see her blush.
"Really??" she looks at him seriously.
"yeah really" he chuckled.
Before he knew what was happening he felt her mouth on his. Her soft strawberry flavoured lips peck his for a teeny tiny second before she started to pull back.
But he couldn't let her. He simply couldn't...
He had kissed tons of women in the peck but never had a tiny peck made it feel like an electric current ran down his spine.
He had to kiss her, taste her fully...
He held her close and pulled her flush against his body...
She gasped and he took this chance to pull her mouth to his and enter her mouth thoroughly... for a moment she was too stunned by the change of circumstances but she slowly started responding...
Arnav placed her hands on his shoulders and kissed her as passionately as he could...
He had never had this feeling kissing a woman and he just couldn't not continue kissing her...
When he felt her struggling for breath he left his mouth...
Both momentarily shocked by what just happened...
Just then everybody started shouting inside the hall... Arnav looked at the clock...
"It's 12 O'clock... time for the masks to go" he said and pulled off his mask...
He turned to the side to put the mask down on the table and when he turned towards her she was nowhere to be found...
He asked the guards and no one saw a girl dressed like her leave the party...
It was as if she vanished in thin air...
...
I'll explain why Khushi kissed in the next part and now the ff is actually beginning...
