16B~ Killing me softly

She started to worry about Shaan, had she been too harsh in her behavior tonight? But then he had started it, and what was that about getting jealous of a poor 15 yrs old, who was only going through a difficult stage in his life! Hadn't Shaan been through it already? Couldn't he empathize instead of blowing his top? Hmmph!

But where is he now, what's he up to? Did he leave? How would she get home? What will she tell her Dad and Mom? She wasn't used to lying to them, but at the same time she couldn't bear to hurt them.

Khanak's mind raced as she stared at a huge poster of Lady Gaga with unseeing eyes. What could be done?

I certainly would not want you to look Like that!

She shivered when that familiar baritone whispered in her ear. He had come as close as he could get without establishing physical contact, yet his breath had made the tiny follicles in her neck to stand on end. This habit of popping out of thin air at the least expected moment had completely messed up the integrity of her nervous system. In desperation her fingers pressed against the side of her neck to quiet the strong pulse which had begun banging away, making her ears ring.

But Shaan seemed as usual unperturbed, his eyes inscrutable in the dim light as he casually looked at her, his arms crossed and his body lounging against the wall.

Khanak's mood felt just the opposite as she furiously tapped her foot against the carpet and wiped her sweaty palms against her skirt. She turned on her heel and made to walk out of the store, when Shaan grabbed her wrist and firmly pulled her back to him.

Not so fast! I am not used to playing catch me if you can with immature female Doctors!

Nor am I used to being accused of Leading On adolescent boys by so called mature Men! She could not control her impulse and automatically stepped on his shoe, wanting to hurt him so bad.

Ouch! You Vixen! Oh No, Not again! Not before you hear me out! His grip on her wrist only got tighter as he tried to overcome the shock of sudden pain.

He led her toward the listening station which seemed fairly isolated at this late hour except for a lone young fella who looked ridiculously funny jamming to soundless music. Khanak had an insane desire to laugh out loud and give vent to her pent up emotions. Shantanu was making her completely distraught.

Put this on! And when she protested he put a headset gently on her, surprising her by this sudden change in attitude. Then after placing a finger on her mouth, he took her hand, kissing it ever so gently and held it over his heart.

Soon she was lost as he mouthed the words of the song, her image reflected in his eyes.

O mere Dil ke chaen

Chaen aaye mere dil ko dua kijiye

Apna hi saaya dekh ke tum

Jaane jahaan sharma gaye

Abhi to yeh pehli manzil hai

Tum to abhi se ghabra gaye

Mera kya hoga, socho to zara

Haye aise na anhein bhara kijiye

Aapka armaan aapka naam

Mera fasana aur nahin

In jhukti palkon ke siva

Mera thikana aur nahin

Jachta hi nahin aankhon mein koi

Dil tumko hi chahe to kya kijiye

Yun to akela hi aksar

gir ke sambhal sakta hun mein

Tum jo pakad lo haath mera

Duniya badal sakta hun mein

Maanga hai tumhein duniya ke liye

Ab khud hi sanam faisla kijiye

O mere dil ke chaen

Chaen aaye mere dil ko dua kijiye

(The sincerity of his feelings was brilliantly reflected in his eyes leaving no further doubts in her mind. She had forgiven him.)

Wanting to leave no stone unturned, Shaan went down on his knees in front of her. As Khanak gazed at him dumbfounded, the sound of clapping hands and shouts of 'C'mon Forgive Him,' rudely brought her back down to earth. A small crowd had gathered around them, and was egging Shaan on in his mission. Khanak wrenched her hand free from his grip and blundered out with him following close behind.

I am sorry Khanak! I really mean it, look at me, please! Do my eyes lie to you? (Desperately.)

Khanak closed her eyes and took a deep breath and said, there's nothing to forgive. I..I wanted to just see how much you really cared for me.

Cared?! Cared! OMG Khanak! I don't care about you, I, I am MAD about you! You drive me nuts but I can't imagine being with anybody else. My whole life revolves round you and you alone can save me again and again and again. Don't you dare doubt my feelings again or I will'

What?...

Lose my self control and carry you away to some remote island and ravage you till you beg! He hissed loudly in her ear, making each word count.

Doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Khanak whispered to his shirt, shaking like a leaf, almost wanting him to carry out that threat!

He traced her jaw line with his forefinger, making her skin tingle with desire,

He pulled her into a large shoe store, and before she knew it had seated her on a padded stool. He flicked away her sensible moccasins and took both of her feet in his hands.

Shantanu, Stop it! It's embarrassing! She said. Some of the clientele had started to look.

I'm doing nothing wrong, just admiring my girl's hardworking feet. Poor dears, they need to be pampered just like me! His voice oozed seduction.

Bewitched she watched as his strong and slender fingers expertly massaged her soles sending wild inappropriate messages to her brain. Then after efficiently scanning the displays, brought back a pair of shiny black jewel encrusted stiletto pumps which he slipped onto her feet, before she could say a single word in protest.

Now walk! He ordered.

I can't! These aren't my style!

They are My Woman's style. When she wishes me to know that she wants me as badly as I want her, she wears these! There was a concealed threat in those fudge brown eyes and as she watched fascinated his pupils appeared to dilate ever so slightly making the message all the more urgent.

She awkwardly walked down the aisle, trying her best to appear nonchalant while her heart thudded hard and fast, knowing that not only had she become a spectacle for the other shoppers in the store, but he was watching too, his eyes scorching her back.

They look great! We'll take them!

She watched almost frightened as he paid at the counter and boxed her old shoes and walked out, his arm possessively around her waist.

What was that all about? I don't want new shoes, especially of this kind!

Well, I know that very well, in fact nothing about you is hidden from me, remember I told you that your eyes never lie?

Then why? Why this coercion? She was confused.

My darling! I want to dress you from head to toe, indulge you, spoil you. This was just a sampler. You don't have to wear anything to please me, pun not intended! Be what you are. But humor me on occasion; it'll hurt if you refuse! Mischievous, his eyes twinkling.

Why do you not shut UP your dirty mind sometimes! You are just...

Too Impossible? Irrational? Unbelievably crude? Well that's my way, just get used to it!

Khanak started to feel dizzy, she couldn't understand if it was due to this emotional hyperactivity or due to lack of nutrition.

I' need to sit down! Please don't carry me! She was adamant.

Oh my sweetness, I'm so sorry! You must be starving! How inconsiderate of me! And most of the restaurants have closed down too!

Just get me a drink of some sort and I'll be fine! I can eat something at home!

Just sit here and I'll get something from the coffee shop! Here read your book in the meantime! Me Rochester to your Jane Eyre! He smiled handing her the copy of Jane Eyre that he had bought at the book store, leaving her flummoxed.

After several minutes of restless waiting, Khanak walked over to the cafe to find him laughing loudly with the pretty attendant at some private joke. Irritated and angry, she marched up to his side and dragged him away.

HeLLo! Possessive are we? Nice! (amused) Here's your ice cream float!

Hang yourself from the nearest tree! What's with you men? Did you forget that I was waiting? ( fuming)

Sorry, but she asked me if I was single! Man, this world is changing fast!...

You! She pummeled his chest with her fists, tears of frustration flowing from her eyes.

Hey! Hold on to your horses now! Won't you ask what I told her? Firmly catching her flying hands in his.

Don't tell me! I don't want to know!

I told her I was married to the most beautiful girl in the world! And had no intentions of looking elsewhere for as long as I live! He said propping her chin on his finger and gazing intently in to her eyes.

She knew that he was telling the truth when his lips descended hungrily on hers and she responded without any inhibitions.

Pause'

Let me take you home, before this gets out of hand!

Love is blind

It sees no boundaries

It flows like a river

And floods its banks!
