"He is just a friend manik what is wrong with you and atleast I know him but you were dancing with a girl you barely know and humiliated me in front of everyone. You proved that your love confession was fake and your feelings for me was also fake it was just a facade."

She roared in anger and the next thing she knew she was slapped back to the wall and his lips was on hers.

Manik pinned her hands to the wall and was kissing her ferociously.
She was numb for a second to register that what just happened. His lips were in a rough manner against her. She was in a dilemma if she should kiss him back or push him away but then she listened to her sane side and pushed him and he stumbled few steps back.

It took him a second to register ehat just happened. He was flabbergasted because of his actions and he was looking at her with wide eyes.

"I am so sorry I shouldn't have." He apologised immediately as if realisation just hit him in the face like a truck that what did he do. He was just looking down ashamed because of his actions and stepped back.

She just looked at him without blinking and her eyes softened at his confession.

"I'll have my first kiss with the girl I love and not with any random fling." Manik stated when nandini asked him when he will have his first kiss.

Nandini remembered this conversation from years ago and at that very moment she knew he loved her. And only her.

"Urghh fuck it." She cursed and took long strides towards him, pulled him down with his collars and placed her lips on his.

She was moving her lips wildly and bit his lip to indicate him to respond. He was frozen on his spot because of her bold action but then he started moving his lips perfectly synchronising with her's.

Her hands went to fist his hair and he placed his hands on her hips pulling her upwards making her wrap her legs around his waist.

He licked her lower lip with his tongue and entered inside her mouth exploring each corner. Their tongues were mingling with each other.

She pulled him with his hair demanding more so he started moving towards their room with her in his arms wrapped around.

Their lips never left each other in the whole process. He gently placed her on the bed and broke the kiss panting heavily.

"Nandini we should-----" He started to say totally breathless but she put a finger on his mouth to stop him.

"Shhhhh! Don't ruin it manik!" She whispered ever so slowly that his gaze melted and he was just looking at her swollen lips which was because of him.

She pulled him with his collars and he fell on her making sure not to put any weight on her. He was looking at her eyes for any sign of regret but there was none.

He leaned in and she closed her eyes as a sign of submission. And he kissed her ever so softly pouring all his love in this kiss. It wasn't like the first one it was soft and full of love he was letting her know that it's always been her.

This wasn't some heat of the moment, lust or some drunken mistake, it was about them holding their feelings from so long and now pouring it out through their actions, showing that they belong with each other.

Manik broke the kiss and looked at her, a small smile was playing on her lips. He bend down and nuzzled in her neck kissing her sweet spot and she fisted his shirt in a tight grip closing her eyes.

He went a little lower and kissed her chest. He looked up to see her expression in search of any discomfort but there was none. She blinked her eyes in assurance and pecked his lips taking him by surprise.

She was wearing a strappy crop top so he removed her right strap and placed a soft kiss on her bare shoulder. His kisses were so tender so soft, full of love.

He did the same with her other strap and placed a soft kiss. He went back to her neck and pulled the sensitive skin with his teeth making her hiss.

Not able to control anymore she flipped their position and slammed her lips on his. He angled her head so that her head was tilted, on the other hand her hands started unbuttoning his shirt.

She removed his shirt and he was caressing her upper thigh as her skirt rode up. Her top was almost off and her brassiere was clearly visible.

Manik pushed her a little breaking the kiss and she looked at him confused.

"Please nandini if we don't stop now then I won't be able to control myself." He merely whispered and she sighed in disappointment. She rolled on the other side of the bed and lied their quietly.

Their hands were touching so he entangled them together. They stayed like this for sometime and when he looked at her she was fast asleep.

He shook his head and took her in his arms placing her on the bed properly covering her with a duvet.

He looked at her serene face and a smile made it's way. He switched off the light and went to sleep in Cabir navya's room.

~~~

It was morning by now and nandini stirred in her sleep disturbed by the shining rays coming from the window.

She rubbed her eyes and sat straight with the support of the bed rest holding her head. Well hangover sucks.

She found her phone on the nightstand with the glass of lemon water. She smiled at that because she knew manik kept it. Everytime she drinks manik knew that she will have a hangover next morning so he always keeps the lemon water before she wakes up.

She drank the water and checked the time it was 10am. She was going to go to freshen up when she saw her clothes. She was wearing manik's shirt with her last night's mini skirt.

Her top was lying beside her on the bed. She was confused for a whole minute but then memories of last night came back and all she wanted to do was drown in a pool of shame.

They were drunk and they made out. Maybe he will regret it when he will wake up. Maybe he will avoid her like he did before when he confessed his love to her. She pushed those negative thoughts aside and freshened up quickly.

She tip toed outside not really wanting to wake manik up but she saw him in the kitchen preparing the breakfast.

She went to him and hugged him from back which startled him but he continued doing his work.

"Good morning!" She mumbled in her sleepy state and he smiled at her cuteness.

"Morning sugarplum" He held her hands and pulled her in front of him making her sit on the kitchen slab.

"Manik these pancakes doesn't have----" She started to whine when she saw the pancakes cooking but was shushed by him.

"They have chocochips nandini don't worry." He said flipping the pancake.

"And add----"

"Lots of maple syrup I know" He completed again and tossed them on the plate. He gave the plate to her but instead she opened her mouth signalling him to feed her.

And he happily fed her without complaints, without demands like everytime.

When their eating session was done in the kitchen manik stood in front of nandini who was still sitting on the slab.

"Umm nandini I am-----" Before he could say anything further she shushed him by keeping a finger on his lips.

"I don't regret last night manik." She whispered so softly that it was barely audible but he did hear it and his heart did a somersault.

He was dreading confronting her the moment he woke up. He thought his heart is gonna shatter when nandini will wake up and will call it a big mistake and regret last night. But nothing that sort of happened.

"I am sorry if I crossed my limits yes---" She stopped in the middle when he pecked her lips suddenly.

She looked up to him and he was looking like a lit up Christmas tree. He leaned in to her till their lips were inches apart.

"Did I tell you how hot you look in my shirt?" He whispered over her lips and she gulped audibly.
"I think you should wear them more often." He said and she nodded meekly not able to say anything.

He backed off a little to not to make her uncomfortable.

"And sugarplum you didn't cross your limits yesterday I did. I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. And I promise it won't happen again." He said that in one breath and nandini choked on her saliva totally bewildered.

"You mean you are not going to touch me again?" She asked to confirm.

"I mean I'll hug and all but-----" He shrugged.

"Shut up manik that means you won't kiss me again? Like never ever?" She asked shocked.

"I don't know do you want me to kiss you?" He asked confused by her behaviour.

He thought she kissed him back just because she was drunk but now she's asking if he's going to kiss her or not.

"Of course you dork" She yelled and slammed her lips on his pulling him by his collars. His hands were in a surrendered position because he was shook for a moment but then he held her waist and kissed her back.

His right hand was on her thigh which was bare because she was wearing his shirt and the other hand was caressing her arm length.
They pulled apart after a while panting heavily.

She joined their foreheads together and cupped his right cheek.

"I want to kiss you everyday." She whispered amidst her pants.

"And I want to love you everyday." He said with so much love and she opened her eyes with a jerk backing off a little.

"Hey chill! stop having an internal freak out session." He said cupping her cheeks and her lips curved in a smile that how well he knows her.

"Go freshen up I'll clean this up." He said giving her space and she nodded.

Before she can move further the bell rang and manik went to open the door.

"Nandini ko hi boyfriend banalo na meri kya zaroorat hai" A whining Cabir appeared followed by Navya from the door.

"Navyaaaa" Nandini yelled getting all excited about her arrival and hugged her tightly.

"You guys were going to come in evening right?" Manik asked carrying their luggage inside.

"Navya was missing nandini so we came back early." Cabir said rolling his eyes.

"Aw I missed you too navu" Nandini gushed when suddenly cabir's eyes went to nandini.

"Kids you were doing hanky panky when we weren't there and that's why manik's so disappointed that we came early." Cabir teased and Nandini's eyes widened listening to him.

She was still wearing his shirt realisation dawned upon her and she ran to her room to change.

"Busted" Navya teased and manik rubbed his neck in embarrassment.

~~~~~~

It was evening by now nandini and navya were sitting on the terrace swing chucking down cookie dough ice cream down their throats.

"So do you want to give me all the deets?" Navya asked taking a bite of her icecream.

"No" Nandini replied bluntly.

"Heyyyy you are breaking the best friend code." Navya said totally offended.

"It's our personal moment navu and I don't like sharing personal stuff with others." She explained herself.

"So now I am 'other people' okay cool"  Navya stated not really looking at her.

"Stop hanging out with Cabir so much look he spoiled you." Nandini whined.

"Yeah fine okay so answer this one and only question you guys reached to first base or second." Navya asked excitedly.

"First" She answered licking her spoon.

"Oh my god I'm so happy for you guys" Navya said and hugged her tightly.

"Geez navya you are sounding like a mom who's happy that her daughter is finally getting married." She chided.

"Wo bhi ho hi jaayegi" Navya teased bumping her shoulders with her's and nandini just rolled her eyes.

"So you guys are a thing now?" Navya asked and nandini choked on her ice cream.

"Stop it navya I'm getting nauseous I can't breath I can't have this conversation anymore." She said rubbing her throat.

"Jesus christ stop being dramatic nandini." She stated rolling her eyes and her dramatic scene.

"Then stop taking about it because manik and I didn't have this conversation because he knows how I get hearing about all this." Nandini snapped and navya decided to shut this topic for now.

After a brief silence navya decided to break it. She turned towards nandini who was in a deep thought.

"One day someone will look at you like you're the most perfect thing they have ever seen, one day you will find someone who won't be able to imagine living life without you. He will accept all your flaws and will handle your tantrums and fight with the whole damn whole just for you. And when you do find him never let him go. Because it's hard to find someone in today's world who's fighting everyday just to be with you." Navya explained and nandini looked at her with so many emotions in her eyes.

"And that person is----" Navya continued but was abruptly stopped by her.

"Manik" His name effortlessly rolled from her lips and her lips curved in the most brightest smile ever.

After this heavy conversation they both headed downstairs to sleep as they ate pizza and weren't really hungry.

Nandini was in her room standing in front of a picture which was with her family looking at it with a longing expression when two arms snaked on her waist making her jump in shock.

But when she realised it was manik she relaxed and put her hands on his which were on her waist.

"You miss them no?" Manik said placing his chin on her shoulder.

"I am graduating tomorrow yes I miss them but it's okay I have you with me." She said with a smile and turned around in his arms facing him.

"Don't be so sweet sugarplum I am not habitual to it" He teased.

"Then aadat daal lo" She whispered rubbing her nose with his making him grin.

"Let's sleep tomorrow is a big day you need your beauty sleep." He said pulling her towards the bed.

They both laid down on the bed and manik pulled her closer to cuddle enclosing her in his arms putting one leg on her.

"You can't live without me meenakumari admit it." She teased and looked straight in his eyes.

"I don't want to, life isn't worth living if it isn't with you." He said kissing her forehead.

"Stop being so adorable or else I'll fall in love with you." She murmured in his chest making him smile like crazy.
There is still hope.

Hands down it was 'The Best day' of their lives.
