MG FF- ABHI NAHIN AANA THREAD #2 - Page 23

The day passed with both of them keeping busy...one with work while the other with both ana and work. He was excited...he might see her the next day. She was excited too...she might just not hesitate to give that jerk a piece of her mind. Ana kept complaining about Geet working even on the day she had taken a leave but that was Geet after all. She had to get that deal no matter what!!!

At night Geet spoke to Ana till she slept for Ana was super mad at her for working even with her. the moment she slept off, Geet got her lappy and sat checking and rechecking every details of her presentation, files and the facts. She called up her PA, Sasha who was in the mid of her beautiful sleep. Sasha had been working under for the past 6 months and it was probably best for Geet for Sasha was quite good at her work. She had fired 2 of her previous Pas already due to her bad temper and them being scared of her. but Sasha was a strong one... she wasn't scared of Geet and thats what Geet liked about her. she was earnest, honest and didn't even bother giving her a negative feedback if she felt so. Together they made a great team.

Sasha woke up seeing Geet's number flashing. She received the call, "yes ma'am..."

"did you check the presentation again?"

"yes ma'am..rest assured... everything's done!"

"tell me Sasha... do you think we will get this thing?", Geet asked coldly. Sasha knew Geet and her temper well but then she had managed to handle that and be frank too.

"of course ma'am... there is no chance of it not getting to our hands..."

Geet smiled, "well then... if this doesn't happen, I will take your neck first!"

"sure... I will not let you down!"

Meanwhile, Maan was working on his presentation. Though Adi and team were capable enough to handle this but then he had a personal reason to join his team. He wanted to see that 'certain someone' who had always made him restless. There was a whole new zeal altogether... he didn't know why it felt all so exciting again when he hadn't felt anything of this intensity while his stay in London! He finished with his presentation... he had prepared it personally, and reclined on his chair.

"... it would be interesting to see you again Geet...", he yawned, "you are definitely making a difference!"

The next day was something very different for both of them. It was important for Geet as she had been eyeing it since a long time. Sasha came to meet her while she sat for breakfast, "umm..Sasha.. come have a seat.. and have breakfast with me.."

Sasha greeted her politely, "thank you ma'am but I have already had my breakfast!"

"I don't like arguing Sasha and neither do I like to pamper anyone..."

Sasha knew what kind of person Geet was. She quietly sat down as nisha served her food. She liked Sasha for taking care of Geet so much and also she was a very nice person at heart. they had their breakfast silently and Geet rushed to get her files and stuff. Mohinder joined them and smiled at Sasha. Sasha wished him and enquired about his health. They sat there talking when Geet came out with her bag and stuffs. Geet gave a stern look to Sasha and walked out, "in the car in 5 minutes..."

"yes ma'am..." Sasha replied getting up in the middle. That was Geet...who just never cared. Geet was already out. Sasha thanked nisha for the food when mohinder called her, "Sasha... just make sure that child is not left alone..."

Sasha smiled, "I will take care of her well Sir..."

Sasha was a 2-3 years older to Geet and was quite patient and Mohinder knew Sasha would fit Geet and her temper.

-----------------------------------------

He walked in with grace and attitude and all heads turned towards him...the MSK was here? Attending the meeting? He usually never came over such occasions until it was extremely important and here he was with Adi and his team, taking part in this deal!!! There were lot of people around, whispering amongst themselves... greeting him, making probabilities on his chances of getting the deal and all concluded it to be one. But he remained calm, composed and his attitude..uff people could feel that intimidating aura from far away itself. Adi led him towards the lift. As he walked, his gaze fell on something...rather someone for whom his eyes had been dying to get a glimpse. She came into the hall, talking to some people...'her team'...carrying a bag and her phone on the other. A smile teased his lips as he watched her in fancy... her features had become so sharp... her looks so intense... and that grace...uff she had probably polished it even more.

Geet looked into some file and glared at the guy, "I don't think you want to make your family suffer because of you..."

The guy dipped his head and muttered, "am..so.so sorry ma'am.. I will get this corrected in a few moments... am sorry..."

Maan smiled at her authority...she had indeed been groomed... and he just couldn't take his eyes off her... formal pants with crisp white shirt and that prominent pink gloss over her lips!!! He didn't know how he couldn't think of her while in London... she was far to beautiful... far to hot and definitely a very sharp minded woman! Beauty with brains... umm deadly combo!

Geet felt something on her and turned towards the lift. She saw nothing but the lift door closing in front of her. she knew what effect she had on guys... and ignored it altogether. She had to get this deal... anyhow! They all moved to the fifth floor conference hall. She saw people gossiping amongst themselves, checking and re checking their presentations. Schedules and what not. But she was calm... she knew she'd get the deal. She was Geet handa... she was the best! She could just give a damn... she knew she'd get it.

The meeting started...everyone sat down and people gave their presentations. She was literally bored but her eyes searched for that Jerk Khurana about whom she had heard from the people gossiping around. He was indeed taking part in the deal...that son of a b****, she mentally swore at him. she would definitely show him his place today... the presentations went by and everyone gave their presentation one by one. She gave her own presentation and people definitely seemed to be interested. They had heard about Geet Handa being the young Director of the Handa Group...and she seemed extremely talented.

She finished her presentation between a huge round of applause. She knew this deal was hers! She was sure of it. she got to her seat and waited. There was suddenly a lot of murmurs and whispers. Technically she was supposed to be the last one to present, as Sasha briefed her but there seemed a last minute gate crash by none other than the maan singh khurana. The people who were presiding over it seemed extremely happy to have heard the news but Geet was irritated. She was excited to see that khurana jerk but then this was against law..her law basically! How can someone just barge into a meeting just like that? and she didn't even know about it?

She heard Sasha praise him but she was fuming within. Everyone rose up to greet him... and she remained seated. He wasn't that big... he actually didn't deserve her respect. She looked into the laptop cursing him. but then there was a sudden silence that prevailed in the room. She had so much wanted to see him.. though she hated it all, she dared to look up and there she saw him... probably the most handsome guy she had ever seen in her life. that well built structure, that stubble, that glint in his eyes, his smile, his face...everything seemed to attract her right at that instant. She even forgot to blink for a while... everything went numb...just like the wink of an eye when she felt him look at her and gave an almost invisible smile and everything was back to normal... people flocking to meet him, welcome him and she just fell on her seat... her hotshot!!!

She hadn't even spoken to him for the past one year..forget seeing and here he was...suddenly making her feel something very different altogether.. something she hadn't felt even when she had met him for the first time. Was it his looks or anything else... she wasn't sure... but she felt her heart skip a beat the moment their eyes had met! The host introduced him to the people around... and that they were lucky to have him there—The Maan Singh Khurana!!! She sat there numb...more out of shock... her hotshot was The arrogant MSK that she had been cursing all the while? she could very well remember their first meeting, their evening in Paris, in the restaurant.. MSK kicking her out, their parting in the airport... all this while it was him????

She saw him take the lead and start his presentation. She tried to snap out of her thoughts and concentrated on his speech... boy he was good! he was indeed very good...she could say it hearing just a few lines from him. his way of speaking, resenting things...everything was just too perfect...she had to admit. She looked away from the presentation screen to him and surprisingly, found his eyes on her already. She gazed at him...and looked directly into his eyes... probably the first time she was feeling this intimidated just with an eye contact.. but there a certain unknown flare between them that none could notice. He didn't avert his gaze from her throughout the meeting and neither could she. They seemed far too alluring to each other... especially when knowing each other formally... there was no playing games.

She probably heard nothing... nothing at all after that. their eyes still remained on each other... until the people clapped, breaking their attention. Sasha looked at Geet who seemed a little lost, "he is too good ma'am... no wonder he is indeed the great MSK...sharp mind with a witty tongue!"

Geet gulped down a glass of water, getting herself back to reality. All this while, it was her hotshot!!! She didn't know what to feel—happy for mad or confused or sad...or anything for that matter. It was indeed a shocker for her. she saw him sit in a corner with that lopsided smile of his and she knew it was directed at her. she didn't retort back immediately but it did take time to come in terms of reality. The conclusion was unanimous. They came out of the hall with people congratulating maan for grabbing the deal whereas she just came out, lost in her thoughts.

"Ma'am... are you okay?" Sasha enquired as she had never seen a lost Geet!

"umm I am...", she stopped seeing maan smile at her. he was speaking to some people a few feet away from there. Sasha wasn't convinced.

"he is indeed a very clever person ma'am... no wonder people die to work with him..."

"hmmm...", was just Geet's reply. She was thinking something else...something very different from whatever was happening. Her hotshot was the MSK and he was just too good in his field. Somewhere that pinched her a bit. Before she could delve deeper into her thoughts, she felt a hand slide across her waist and pull her closer, "hey sweetheart..."

She knew who it was. One way she was happy... but the other side her pride had fallen to the ground. He pecked her on her cheeks making everyone gasp, including Sasha.

"missed me?", he asked, smirking.

"Of course I didn't...hot...err Maan...", she spoke out casually but 'Maan' from her lips sounded so sensual...he wondered what was wrong with him today... he was thinking so much about her...he was actually liking her presence...he had always liked it from the very beginning.

"ma'am... you know each other?", Sasha asked, a bit surprised.

Before Geet could even reply, maan curtly pulled her aside and turned to Sasha, "if you could please excuse me Miss, I'd take your ma'am out for a while..." and he walked away, winking at her. Sasha sighed... this man is indeed a very good player. But he was handsome..right!!! Sasha laughed feeling silly and got back to her work.

She walked out quietly with him till the car park, until they stopped in front of his car. He turned to her and hugged her tightly, 'I had missed you so much..."

She liked it...though it never felt like she missed him but she liked this hug. They drove out with him behind the wheels, "so where do you wanna go?"

She turned to him, twitching her brows, "go where?"

"we're not going for dinner in this bright sunny afternoon darling..."

She smiled and looked out, somewhere feeling so pampered, "wherever you wish Maan..."

Ohh 'Maan' again... it sounded so much better than her 'hotshot'... ohh god he was definitely going nuts in just one day!!! This was stupid...all so so so stupid.. to have felt everything all at once and stuff but this was indeed happening...with both of them. they had that flare between them but they never noticed because of their veiled identities but now he knew her as much as she knew him. there was nothing to be veiled...and that somehow felt like a barrier had been broken.

They reached one of maan's fav restaurants and the waiter guided them to a personal dining area. He saw her a bit lost and shoved the menu card into her hands, "chalo... apna favourite order karo..."

[come on...order your favourite]

She arched her brows, "why is it that hum jab bhi saath hote hain, humesha mein hi order karti hun?"

[why is it that whenever we are together, I end up ordering everything?]

He relaxed and leaned back on his chair, "because I like your taste Geet... it has got so much of 'you'"

She eyed him quizzically for a while... trying to know what he was thinking. He didn't speak rather urged her to order. She placed order for a full course meal, Continental for both of them.

"so...is there something you'd like to explain?"

He traced his finger on his iphone, checking out some mail, "explain what Geet?"

Everything seemed so different today... like things were under their control but still not under their control. There was a strange excitement... you cant even feel happy about it neither can you feel sad about it... something very different.

"don't pretend as if you don't know... you knew me from the very beginning right?"

"hmm...", he replied, still looking into his phone.

"then what was that with kicking me out of your office in Paris?"

"ohh... uss waqt mujhe pata nahin tha ke woh ladki tum thi...", he spoke nonchalantly.

[ohh that time I didn't know that the girl was you]

The waiter served their food and left. She pushed her spoon into her dish, "you never told me you are MSK?"

"because you never asked sweetheart..."

Ok..he had a point! She never asked... but then that wasn't a reason to have not spoken your name!!!

"so when did you know about me?"

He raised his brow on her, "are you taking my interview?"

'no am genuinely curious..."

"at the party... you looked sexy in that sari..."

She was reminded of the party night and a smile teased her lips, "thanks but..."

"Geet...lets not bug the food to death by our formalities... finish them and tell me what you did the whole year..."

She nodded and told him about the few experiences she had, though being a little careful not to reveal too much! they didn't realize how long they talked and talked and talked until Sasha called Geet.

"umm...am so sorry ma'am to disturb you but you have got an overseas call in the next half an hour.."

"will be right there..."

Geet hung up the phone as maan paid the bill. They walked out, holding each other close, like they just did as usual. He drove her back to her office and went back to his own. There was this sudden strange excitement they had never felt... like a thrill in the air... you are ready to plunge into something you know not of.

Geet walked into her cabin after finishing with the call and found Arjun waiting for her. he smiled seeing her and went in for a hug. She stood right on her tracks, very formally and extended her hand for a shake, "hey babe..."

"what brings you here Arjun?"

Arjun smirked and sat on the couch, "you don't have to be so rude you know I just came to invite you..."

"where?"

"My cousin is getting married on 15^th of this month and its a destination wedding in Goa... all the friends are going... so you have to..."

Geet rolled her eyes...she'd do anything better than just go on a vacation with this jerk. Just to make it polite she added, "umm..who all are coming Arjun? I don't think I will be able to..."

Arjun cut her off in the middle, "ohh com on yaar, Jazz Rahul Maan..everyone are going to be there! Don't be a spoil sport hottie... please..."

Her ears shot up hearing 'maan'...she looked at him for a while and added, "Maan???"

"umm.. MSK... you much be knowing him right? he is my friend from college!"

She rolled her eyes...same college but a vast difference in attitude. She didn't know why she didn't feel like saying a no.

"umm when are you guys leaving?"

"we all are flying together on 10^th, together except maan. I shall book tickets for you too..."

She thought for a while and spoke up, "ummm...don't book for mine I will come around 12^th or 13^th most probably!"

Maan gazed at the invitation card that Arjun had given him this evening... and personally invited him. he was not much into all this but then he did say he'd go soon as get got time from his pending work. Arjun had invited his gf and her friends... he thought for a while and kept the card away. He stretched himself and made himself comfortable on the couch and closed his eyes.

"umm... Maan...", she moaned against his lips, making him shiver just with that. ohh how much he loved his name from her lips... it was all so strange yet exciting... he had that same tingling sensation that he had felt when he had met her for the first time. He looked down at her, rolling her red soft tongue over her lips that were sore from his incessant kisses. She was absolutely delicious and soft...he kissed her softly this time and hovered downward, placing wet smooches on her cheek.. down to her neck and stopped right above her curves. She was breathing heavily...infact panting furiously and he just couldn't take his eyes off her bosom moving up and down due to her erratic breathing. He looked up at her face, which was totally red and dipped his head into her bosom above her dress, making her scream with that wild sensation, "Maaannn..."

He woke up, breathing furiously, sweating, panting and what not. He blinked a couple of times just to realize he was still in reality and not his dream. It was 2am and it was still very dark outside. He ran his fingers though his hairs, wondering what he dreamed of. For god's sake he had just met her after a whole year and here he was going desperate. He hated himself at this moment, though never regretting the dream(wink wink)..but this girl was making his head spin like no other girl did. If one day with her was like this... he wondered what will happen when he sees her again? he switched on the lights and looked for water. His eyes fell on the invitation card Arjun had left. He was definitely over thinking about it... thats it! he needed to refresh himself. He had been working like hell over the two years...he definitely needed a break to just forget all these and concentrate on his work!
