The lucky one
Summary : A rich brat Shaurya Khanna asks Mehek Sharma and international student to be his pretend girlfriend to get back at his ex. Will this fake relation generate some real feelings among them?
The constant loud noise was disturbing Mehek. She covered her ears with her hands. 'I should have never come here in the first place'. Sonal and Nehal had forced her to come to the freshers party. When she denied at first they both emotionally blackmailed her into coming there and here she was. Mehek looked around for Sonal and Nehal. They were busy dancing at the dance floor. She headed outside, as far as she walked, the sound of loud music lowered and she sighed in relief. The weather was wonderful. A quite breeze, a full moon she would have probably spent the night reading a nice novel if it wasn't for her best friends. She texted Sonal that she was leaving and sat in the car. Without looking in the rear view mirror she reversed the car which rammed into something making a loud sound. " Oh sweet lord" she gasped and stepped out of the car.
Her car had bumped into someone's car. Expensive one. It was a Jet black Bentley. There college had mostly scholarship students and she wondered who here at the party could own a Bentley. The alarm had went on. "The owner must be here soon what should I do. Should I Run? Oh my god ?" Before Mehek could think of anything here came a voice.
"Hey you !" Came a monotonous voice from her back. Mehek turned to look at the man to whom the voice belonged.
"What the heck!" He exclaimed. He was wearing a black Zara suit. He looked extremely dashing in it Mehek had to agree. He disappointedly looked at the big scratch at the front of his car. He was rich and arrogant too, Mehek knew by the way he glared at her.
"This is some serious trouble" Mehek whispered to herself.
"Hey you! Are you blind can't you check the rear view before reversing your goddam car. Miss. Whatever your name is. I see your car is not that expensive but this is a Bentley and the scratch caused by your cheap car can cause me a lot of money !" He said sarcastically.
"I am really sorry. I..I.." she was unsure of what to say. "What can I do now? I am really sorry!" She said.
"Well I know you can't afford to pay for the damage. So there's nothing that you can do." He rolled his eyes. " Just leave. Get outta my sight ." He said in a rude voice. He was thinking something the expression on his face was different as if he was solving a maths problem in his head.
Mehek decided to leave. " Thanks mister. I am really sorry once again." She went to the side of her car when she heard his voice.
"Wait." He shouted. " Come here!" he exclaimed.
Mehek went near him. " Get in my car." He said. "What!" Mehek was unsure of what he said. "You heard me. Get in the freakin car." He shouted.
" See mister I am really sorry for the damage I really am. But why should I sit in your car?" Mehek said.
"Do as I say ?" He held onto his wrist and tried to drag her towards his car. " listen you pervert. I have been polite to you but you seem to be blind. I will not sit in the car and I am not the type of girl you can pick up from the street by just...." she was cut in between.
"Should I call the police and make you pay for the damage? I'm sure you won't be able to pay me 10,00,000? Plus the harassment fee? " he said and smirked.
Mehek was hella shocked. "Oh I see you are playing dirty tricks. Fine , I will fight you in the court. You think you can do...?" Mehek freaked out when he pulled out a glock and pointed it towards her. She was scared. " Are you a serial killer? Please don't do anything to me?" She cried.
"No I am not. I just want to talk. I won't do anything I promise." He said assuringly.
"About what?" Mehek asked. "Sit in the car" he said.
Mehek reluctantly sat in the car and he got in too and locked the car. The car was too luxurious from the inside it had a moonroof. Mehek had always dreamed of owning a car with a moonroof.
" what's your name?" He asked.
"Mehek. Mehek Sharma." She said with her lips trembling. "Nice Miss. Sharma. I am Shaurya Khanna." He said in a very proud tone.
She had heard his name before she couldn't recall where. She was too nervous to think.
"I need your help Miss.Sharma." He told her plainly.
"For what?"Mehek was confused.
"I want you to be my girlfriend for the next six months." He explained.
"What?why?"Mehek was totally shocked.
"Yes. And why? That's none of your business. I will pay you. Any amount you want." He said zealously showing off his money power.
"No. That's a straight no." Mehek said.
"What!" He chuckled. " You know girls would die for me." He said and smiled.
"Well good for you then ask any of those girls." Mehek said and tried to unlock the car door to leave.
He held her hand. "No , I want you because you are different from those. You don't like me and that's why I want YOU to be my girlfriend." He said.
'This man is a complete idiot' she thought. "But why should I be your girlfriend?" She said and flushed a little bit at the thought of it.
"Mehek I understand you have insecurities but it will be a contract. I won't touch you or anything. It will be just an act. It's not that I love you or anything like that I just need a little help." He said.
Just then Sonal and Nehal came out of the club looking around for a cab. "I need to go." She said. He held her hand one more time. "Think about it and call me" he gave her his card. "I'll be waiting"
She stepped out of the car thinking about the offer he had made to her. There was no way she was doing that. She threw away the card and went to Sonal and Nehal. They both inquired about the guy and Mehek told them about him while their drive back home.
"Mehek did you just turn down the offer of THE SHAURYA KHANNA. You are a fool. He is one of The most eligible bachelors of Delhi. And he is our senior too. His father is dead rich. How could you do that? Just ask him if I can come in your place? I mean can I be his girlfriend?! He would have to take me, I mean all of us shopping and he would pick us up from college in his sedan. " Nehal said excitedly.
"Shut up Nehal " Mehek drove silently. What was it with him? Why is every girl behind him? Having money does not change anyone's heart. Mehek thought.
After dropping off Sonal and Nehal Mehek came back to her apartment. It was already late and she just wanted to sleep. She was tired. She had just changed into pj's when her door bell rang. 'Who could it be?' She thought as she opened the door. It was him. Shaurya. Khanna. She tried to close the door when he pushed it with his almighty force and made his way inside her apartment.
"Won't you welcome me miss Sharma!" He was sarcastic.
"What do you want? Leave me alone! You are trespassing!" She said in a loud voice.
"Actually not. My father owns these apartments. " he had an evil laugh.
"So what is you decision? " he asked making himself comfortable on the sofa while she stood behind him. " yes. No. I'm not going to be your girlfriend." She said boldly.
"That's not a choice honey. I asked you if you wanna do it the hard way or the easy way." He told plainly.
"What do you mean?" She went beside him to face him but he pulled her into his lap and she collided into his rock hard chest. Her hair fell on his face and she could hear him inhaling the scent of her hair. What was he doing? His touch was warm. His arms surrounded her and he was too soft Mehek thought, just like a pillow. "Okay then make your choice. You wanna pay me 100000 Dollars or you wanna pretend to be my girlfriend for the next six months and get paid for it?" He asked.
That was a hell lot of money. She was an international stiludent and her family was barely able to pay her fees on time. How would she pay him that much amount of money? She surely will not be able to face her father. She had made a decision. Being his girlfriend was an easy choice rather than paying so much money. But being THE SHAURYA KHANNAs girlfriend came with its own share of problems and a list of Do's and Dont's.
She pulled out a paper from her notebook and wrote down a heading 'the contract'
He told her how it was going to be. He would stay with her in college always.they had to pretend to be the perfect couple with the happily ever life. She was not allowed to talk to any other boy he told her. He would take her to college and he would drop her off too. She was supposed to go to parties with him to show off. Gosh she hated going to parties. They would always eat food together. And other 'act cute' stuff he told her.
Is there anything you want? He asked Mehek in the end. She was noting all the things he had said now it was her turn.
"Yes, no getting touchy touchy." She told him straight.
"How am I supposed to act like your boyfriend without touching you?" He smirked. She cringed.
"Okay I'll see and one more thing. You will have to go to the hiking trip with me too." He told her.
'Oh no. This was the trip where all the girls would get pregnant. The couples would bribe the students to change their allotted positions and get cozy in their tents. This trip had a bad reputation. Very bad.'
"No! I won't go there. With you!" She exclaimed. "We will see then. It's in the end" he said. "Okay so that's it. And you are not supposed to tell anyone. Sign here" Mehek told him. He signed at the bottom and then she did too. "Congratulations! You are now officially my girlfriend." He said sheepishly and hugged her.
"Get away!" She said.
"Ohkay miss. Sharma. I'll pick you up tom morning. 7:30 sharp." He told her "Wait. You will also have to pick up my friends!" She said recalling what Nehal had told her in the car.
"Okay." He said and left.
Mehek couldn't believe what just happened. Taking her mind off him she went to sleep.

Next morning
Mehek was constantly brushing her hands through her hair and adjusting her dress. She was wearing a black off shoulder jumpsuit. She was very nervous.
She was waiting for him. 'Will he come or not?' She looked at her watch it was 7:20. There was still time. She was early. After ten minutes his black Porsche arrived at the front of her apartment. He was very punctual. She made a note.
He stepped out of the car and came towards her. 'Oh his scent. He smelled like vanilla' Mehek inhaled his scent. "Go and change" he said. "What?" Mehek said. "You will not wear this!" He said. Mehek felt strange and sad this was one of her most favourite dresses. Sonal had bought that for her. It was very revealing at the back but Sonal said she looked really pretty in this one that's the reason she chose to wear it. "But why?" She asked. "You don't ask me questions. Go and change we are getting late." Shaurya said. "That's not in the contract. So I won't." She said. It took her half an hour to dress up and get ready. "Will you change yourself or should I ?" He said running down his fingers from her shoulder to her hands. She shivered at his touch. The thought of him touching her like that made her insane. She went inside and changed into a pair of jeans and a designer mustard coloured top. He made her sit in his car.
They went to pick up Sonal and Nehal. They were shocked at first. "Is this Shaurya Khanna?!" They both said in awe. "Yes I am and I am also Mehek's boyfriend. Get used to seeing me." He said and kissed Meheks hand. She pulled it out. "No need to act. They know."
"Urgh. Why did you have to tell them Mehek?" Shaurya said. "They are my best friends. They had to know." Mehek replied. "Anyways. Sonal and Nehal . Don't tell anyone. I will take you both shopping." He bribed them and flashed his signature smile. He was really charming. Mehek knew by thier faces that Sonal and Nehal already liked him.
When they reached college. Sonal and Nehal went to their classes. "Cee ya!" Mehek said and was about to leave. "Not yet!" He said holding her wrist. "I will lead you till your class" he said and wrapped his arm around her waist. When they walked down the hallway everybody was staring at them. All the girls were shocked at the sight of his hands around her waist. He stopped near the lockers when Mehek said she wanted to take her book from the locker.
She saw someone approaching her. A slim yet tall girl. Shruti she was. Mehek remembered her. How could she forget that. She was Shaurya's girlfriend. Ex girlfriend. The news was in the air. They had broken up just two days back. The reason was unclear . "Oh hi, whoever you are. What are you doing with him?" She asked. "Mehek is my girlfriend. The love of my life ." Shaurya interrupted and pulled Mehek beside him defending her. "Oh really. I know you still love me. If I kiss you right now. You would come back to me" she said touching his cheek. Mehek could sense she was jealous of her. She was giving all dirty looks to her. "You no longer have the right to kiss me. Only...Mehek does." He said and kissed on her cheek and kept his lips there for a while. Mehek was utterly shocked. If so many people weren't looking she would have done something. Shruti was burning with jealousy. Shaurya pulled Mehek away from there. He left her to her class and went to attend his.
-----
Mehek couldn't focus on her studies. 'So he is using me to get back at his ex. Now I understand. I am not going to leave him. He wasn't supposed to get touchy with me. I will---' the bell rang. It was lunch time. Everyone headed to the canteen. Shaurya was waiting for her outside her classroom. "How was the lecture?" He asked in a casual tone. "Shaurya Khanna you are not supposed to touch me. It was in our contract. Don't get touchy touchy with me again" she said. He kept a hand on her mouth and pushed her against the wall. "You are not supposed to talk about the contract. And I wasn't that touchy. I would have kissed you on the lips right there and then. But I didn't. Be thankful" He whispered into her ear. He was right. He could have done anything at that time but he didn't. "And Don't keep fighting with me. People are watching us. Behave like a good girlfriend"He said.
He held her wrist and took her to the canteen. Shaurya went and brought a plate full of snacks. "Here take this." He pushed it infront of her. "Where's yours?" She asked. "You will feed me." He said. "I won't share my food." She said and took a bite of the donut.
He smiled and didn't ask before taking hold of her hand and bringing it near his mouth and taking a bite of her donut. "Shauryaaa!" She cried like a a baby who has to share his toys with someone.
He laughed at her antics. "You got a little something over there" he said and wiped off her lips with the back of his hand. She was uncomfortable so he backed off his hand. "You're beautiful Mehek." He complimented. "Thanks" she replied while eating her food. "Have you ever had a boyfriend ?" He asked. "No. I would have never thought of having one" Mehek replied. Her family was very conservative she would have never thought of betraying them. "Yet now you do" he said and smiled.
"You are using me to get back at your ex. Right?" She asked him. "Well yeah. I had seen her with guy. Probably richer than me. I know that guy does not love her like I did . I wanna make her realise how big of a mistake she has made." He said with anger in his voice. "Oh and that's why you wanna make her jealous." She said. "Yes." He replied.
After college he took all of them. Sonal, Nehal and Mehek for shopping. He gave them their credit card and they went off. She glared at them to not take his credit card or any kind of money but they went off. They were left alone. "Lemme buy you something." Shaurya said " no need" Mehek replied. Before she could resist. He pulled her into a clothing store. The clothes were really expensive there.Mehek didn't pay much attention and he did most of the shopping she just nodded.
After dropping them off he went away. Mehek sat in on the couch sipping a cup of coffe thinking about him. "After all he's not that bad as he seemed to be." She laughed at how she thought that he was a serial killer.
After she had dinner Shaurya came to her apart. He had big carton of chocolate ice cream in his hand and some movie cd's in the other. "Let's have a movie marathon" he suggested. "Oh no. I'm tired." She said. "Come on Mehek. You just have to lie down and watch movies and it's Friday. Plus I brought ice cream." He said. "Okay" she said just because of the ice cream. She was a foodie. She loved sweets. She knew he could use this as a weakness even in the future. "I am not doing this for fun, okay ! I am doing this cos I wanna post it on my instagram." He said. "Okay. Whatever." Mehek replied. They both sat on the couch and she ate the ice cream. She checked her phone and saw he had tagged her in a phone. ''Movie night with bae" the caption read. He took her phone and commented "I love you " she felt it was so wierd and awkward. She didn't know when she dosed off. She woke up lying on him and he was holding her tightly. He had covered them with a blanket. He looked so calm while asleep. She stared at him for a while. "Are you done?" He said hoarsely while eyes still shut. Mehek adjusted herself and parted. He got up too rubbing his eyes. "Sorry. I shouldn't have." Mehek said "no problem. It's a boyfriends duty to act as a pillow for his girl " he said and laughed off. "Make me coffee." He said. Mehek made a cup for both of them. "This is the best coffe I have ever tasted." He claimed. "Thank you" she said with a smile. "Di whatever you want in the day. I will pick you up at 8. We have a party to go to. I wanna introduce you to my friends. Dress nicely." Shaurya told her. "Perhaps Not too revealing" he added and left.
