"Sustenance, I'm starving," She said as she broke away from his arms and turned away from him to walk towards the car
"What?"
Momentarily flummoxed, he shook His head and ran to catch up until He was in front of her and faced Her directly
"I just made a declaration of love and all you're thinking about is your stomach?" He asked incredulously
"Don't you think you need to say something to me first?"
"Erm...thanks! That's very sweet of you...can we move on now?"
"Hold on, hold on," He put his arms up to block her and prevent her from moving forward
"What's this really about? Are you telling me you're indifferent to all this? You're incredible!! You think what I just said is a joke or something?" His voice definitely sounded annoyed now
"No, no - its not that. Its just well, I'm cold, I- I feel really hungry, and I cant think of anything else right now. Cant we eat first and then maybe we'll talk some more," She said brightly
He wasn't convinced but said nothing more and they moved towards the car
She knew He was annoyed, but She was desperately trying to buy time.
Never in a million years had She expected things would move so fast.
She had no idea He felt so strongly; in her mind She had it all worked out: He was just a bit of a Lothario, trying it on and using his charm where He could, but no, this really was different.
She knew He was being sincere and had known him long enough to know when he was fooling about and when He was deadly serious. However things were much more trickier for Her.
It wasn't as if She didn't like him, She knew She did, much more than that even and She also knew She wanted to be with him ultimately, but the timing was all wrong.
The Ex and his shenanigans were still fresh in her mind, as was the image of that Girl sobbing her eyes out. Did She really want to start a relationship with Him under these circumstances?
They reached the car and got in. She was glad to be out of the chilly air and shivered slightly.
"What to do," She thought
Girlfriend with a man like him ready to keep you warm, do you really need me to tell you? piped up the inner voice.
She looked across at Him and could see He was upset, as He stared to turn the ignition key. She reached out and placed her hand on his thigh
"Please don't be angry," She said softly "Try to understand what I'm saying, Im not ignoring what you said I just need to-
"Forget it. Just forget it OK. You don't need to explain anything."
Oh God, She thought, this isn't going according to plan, what now?
Pull a stunt, screamed the inner voice, salvage the situation Goddammit!!!!
"OK then, if you're going to get all moody on me don't bother," She said petulantly and got out of the car
"For feck's sake," He muttered and after a few seconds, and a deep breath, He got out of the car round to the passenger side where She was leaning against it
"What the hell is this about?" He enquired facing her angrily
"I told you I needed sustenance, that I was hungry and couldn't think until I'd had something
"Yeah, so?
"Well you never asked me?" She said simply
"Never asked you what?" He was looking at her as if she were a lunatic
"What sort of sustenance I needed," She whispered up to him as She clasped his hand in her's and drew him a little closer to her
"I mean, what I was hungry for,"
She moved both her arms towards his back and pressed him against her, her chin pointing upwards as She continued to look steadily in his eyes
He met her unwavering gaze equally but She could see the anger in his eyes had been replaced by something else.
As He bent his head down He removed Her hands from his back and held her wrists
She looked at him disappointingly, thinking He was rebuffing her attempt to pacify him then let out a shriek when He pushed them both hard against the car and pinned her wrists against it.
He wasnt holding her wrists too tightly but She didn't resist. She could feel every inch of his body against her as She was pressed against the cold metal of the car but the heat travelling up her body didn't even let her notice.
He let go of one of her hands and brought his hand up to her face, tracing a finger from her brow, down her cold cheek and to her lips. He traced their outline gently, his eyes never leaving hers.
With his thumb, he gently pulled pulled her chin and parted her lips. As She closed her eyes She felt his warm breath before She felt his lips brush ever so softly against her own. He grabbed her top lip with his own gently then let go to do the same to her bottom lip, teasing her as her body arched towards him and clamoured for more
She moved her chin forward and caught his lips to kiss him fully, to feel the pressure of him against her and not these playful touches. He responded instantly and put one of his hands at the base of her back and the other behind her head whilst pushing her back further so her head rested on his palm and he could press against her and feel the curves of her body
He prised her mouth open easily whilst his hand tugged at the jacket still on Her shoulders so he could feel the skin of her back beneath her sari. As His cold fingers reached her back, she made a noise and broke off suddenly
"What?" He rasped his voice thick
"Your fingers are cold!" She said taking His hands and placing them either side of her waist as She then threaded her arms through his and drew Him close again.
He kissed her again deeply, his tongue beginning to explore her mouth, flicking across the bite of her teeth, even their tongues fought against each other, each trying to out do the other until one got bitten
"Mmm!!" He let out as She bit him, still not breaking off their kiss. She smiled against his lips
"One to me," She giggled
"Point scoring, huh?" his teeth flashed as he smiled a devilish smile
"We'll see about that that shall we?" and before She had time to react He removed one hand and went straight to the top of her back and tugged open at the dori (string) keeping her blouse together. Quickly pulling the material, He bared her shoulder and bit her
"Arghh!!" She squealed as She felt his teeth sink into her skin and in so doing exposed her beautiful neck to Him where He moved next
"All square," he murmured as he kissed the base of her neck moving up slowly towards her jawline and then bit her earlobe
"I win," He whispered in her ear
She had her hands entrenched in his thick hair and pulled it as He bit her for the second time, inadvertently arching her body against him as She felt him bury His face in her neck again, His warm lips wreaking havoc on Her.
" You win, you win, now at least let go now, " She protested weakly
"Your gyaniji might come out and then what? It wont look good," She tried to reason only for her lips to find his again, moaning softly as She gave in, her chin stinging now from his stubbled cheeks.
His fingers traced down her neck, down her shoulder to her nape. They hovered dangerously low as she felt the blouse material slip further down with his fingers, his lips unrelenting. She put one hand to his hand on her chest and the other against his chest to break free from his lips
They looked at other, both heaving whilst She tried to cover herself.
He stopped her hand, placed the softest of kisses on her shoulder, smiling when he saw the mark his teeth had left and re-tied the dori to her blouse.
Squatting down he recovered his jacket and placed his jacket round her shoulders
"To cool you down," He laughed softly before he whispered in her ear
"I like it when you're hungry!"
She hit his arm and they both laughed before he drew her close to him and held her tightly.
"I need you to listen a minute" She said hesitantly
"Will you be angry if I say I want to stay quiet, about this, you and-and me I mean" She was scared as to how he might react and sincerely didn't want to upset him.
She continued as he said nothing.
"For no other reason, than because of my current situation, the ex - I don't want for us to be ruined before we even start."
"It's Ok, I understand. I'm fine with that."
"So no one must know, and that includes everyone on set, its our secret just you and me. It must stay this way." She needed to be absolutely clear - there was no room for misunderstandings
"Cool" He said lightly
"So we cant, I mean, we shouldn't really be seen in public. I could not bear a media circus getting hold of this honestly, I"
"Hey," He interrupted her and cupped her face
" Relax, I'm not objecting - its all OK. Just don't ask me to keep away for too long though, and understand this," jerking her to him
"I will be making the most of every touch, every hug, every moment I'm near you, it'll be me doing those things, not my character. No one except you will know." He kissed her again and She happily reciprocated
"C'mon - lets go. I need a drink - not hungry now just thirsty after all that," She smiled happily
They hugged finally for one more time before they headed back into the car.
As they drove back into town, they talked animatedly, the excitement of what had just happened still leaving them exhilarated
"Gosh - you're a slick mover - check you out opening my dori in a microsecond!" She laughed
"I've had practice, don't you remember our Suhaag raat scenes?" He said His eyes glinting with amusement
"OMG!!" at first She giggled remembering how embarrassed they were at the time but they had so much fun too for that shoot. She stopped laughing and quietened down suddenly
He cast her a sideways glance " Hey - whats up? Was it so bad?"
"No no, nothing - well, its just I just remembered the downside to that shoot in particular. The Ex gave me so much jip about those scenes, we had such fights over you being so close, or the background score being really lewd or even my expressions looking like Im enjoying it too much...ugh! When I think of how-"
"Let it go yaar, tensuniyao mat! What's past is done - over and finished. Just think about your future and all the great things that are yet to happen"
"I'm worried about my Ex, Ive never seen him behave like that before and frankly we shouldn't underestimate the power of a rubbish DJ scorned!"
"That settles it, I'm taking you up to your flat. We'll pick up something to eat and drink then I'll take you up -no ifs or buts"
"No way!! You know my security guard nah? He cant keep from blabbing his mouth!"
"Don't worry about him - leave him to me," He said ominously
In another part of the city, the Man looked at his creation admiringly. He had just put the last finishing touches to it and was really pleased
"Thought you were so bloody clever didn't you bitch," he muttered under his breath,
"Now I'll give you a dilemma to really lose sleep about!" and proceeded to carefully wrap his creation
