The best kisses,though,are those between lovers,because those are the consequential ones,the risky ones,the transformative ones,the ones that call the nymphs and satyrs back to life,the many layered kisses that we dive into as into a fairytale frog pond or the murky gene pool of our origins.

~~~ Tom Robbins.

When one gets lost into their own world they tend to forget about the existence of the outside world..

..just like Manik and Nandini.

They were so lost into their own world that they simply forget where exactly they were.

..and truth to be told they just didn't care.

They were too busy in their personal heaven...

..without any interference from the outside world so far.

And why won't they..

...because after what felt like eternity they both gave into their heart and didn't let their mind intrude.

It was their second kiss...

...in span of two months.

But for both of them it wasn't less than two lifetimes.

They have kissed once before which was more like a gentle..delicate..fragile..kiss..that fills one's stomach with butterflies..

....and not to forget it was a little apprehensive as well because they both didn't knew what to expect out of it.

They didn't knew where it would lead them too..

...but of course it turned out to be extremely magical..

..which shocked both of them at that time..

..however this time it was completely different..

..as they both knew what exactly they would feel..

..what exactly to expect and where it will lead them.

But the best part they both weren't scared anymore..

...rather they were ecstatic to have finally crossed the hurdle of apprehensiveness and awkwardness.

And of course most importantly they both wanted it.

This time their kiss was more compassionate...more intense...more demanding.

However they both were on equal footing..

..as neither of them was ready to surrender.

Yes..

..Nandini was the one to start it which actually shocked Manik for a second as he never in his wildest dream imagined that she was capable to shock him on such level but once he got over it by realising that indeed he wasn't dreaming and she actually did kiss her for real then there was no stopping him.

But much to his surprise Nandini was just not ready to give in as she replied by kissing him with equal fervour when Manik fiercely started kissing her back.

They only broke apart just to catch their breathe but even then they were not ready to let each other go.

Manik's lips shifted to cheeks and then leaning down he started to kiss her while moving down her face.

Pulling her closer he started showering wet kisses across her entire face..and then he slowly moved to sensitive spot below her eyes.

Since Nandini was too lost in heavenly bliss she didn't even realise when he bent down and bit her there.

"Ouch..."before she could say anything more because of pain Manik simply soothed the pain by gently kissing it there several times.

And once again Nandini got lost and forget about everything that wasn't Manik.

He ran the tip of his nose along her jawlines sending shiver down her spine.

He planted a soft kiss right at the corner of her lips which made her breathing turned erratic in the worst way possible.

He was about to place his lips on her once again..

...but unfortunately before he could do so they both heard someone knocking the door.
And almost immediately they heard a girl's voice. "..yeh washroom ka door kisne lock kiya..."

SPELL BROKE!!!

..and so did their trance...

..as they finally remembered where they were.

SPACE..

GIRL'S WASHROOM.

Nandini's eyes widened in horror as she looked from the door to Manik and reality drawn upon her..

SHE WAS MAKING OUT WITH MANIK..

..IN GIRL'S WASHROOM..

....OF SPACE..

..WHICH WAS OWNED BY MANIK'S PARENTS.

"Aiyappa.."she slapped her forehead and whispered "..ab kya karenge.."Nandini looked at Manik who didn't had a little bit of worry on his face rather he was hell annoyed because their precious moment got ruined. "Manik..what now.."

"Oh god..is the door locked again.."they heard the voice again. "..I think I need to call the janitor.."saying this they both heard the girl walked away.

Nandini sighed in relief. She looked back at Manik. "Manik..let's go..before anyone see us getting out of washroom together.."

"Why..would you be ashamed of being seen with me.."Nandini realised that Manik was offended and she couldn't have him offended especially not spending one of the most magical and beautiful moment of her life with him.

So she looked at him and said "..I can never be ashamed of anything that I share with you..including being seen with you walking out of a washroom together.."

"..but the thing is..every moment that I spent with you belongs only to me.."

"..it belongs only to us.."

"..and I can't tolerate people making cheap comments or judgements over something that they don't even have sense to understand at first place.."

"..what we share is pure and magical..but unfortunately not everyone can understand or see it in that way.."

"...and it's just not acceptable to me that someone get cheap thrills over something that means world to me.."

"...I won't tolerate that...at any cost.."

"You and everything related to you..belongs only to me..and I am over protective about it..so that's why I would end up breaking that person's face if they try to even think anything demean relating to us.."

"..unless you want that to happen..let's get out of here..or else.."

"..baad me mujhse mat kahna ki tumhe warn nahi kiya tha..samjhe Monster Manik.."

Her words were more than enough to remove the last drop of doubt from his heart but he chose not to show the ecstasy that it gave him because indeed she was correct.

So he simply smiled and nodded and caressed her face. He was about to walk away when out of nowhere Nandini stopped him and placed a tissue on his face wiping away all the droplets of water while he continued to look at her nothing but awe and adulation filled eyes.

"..ho gaya.."she threw the tissue paper away in the waste basket.

Manik was looking at her when she was looking at mirror and making sure that she looked decent and presentable without giving any clue to the outside world of anything that she and Manik just shared couple of moments ago.

While she was quickly fixing her hair Manik's eyes fell on something.

Extending his hand he gently removed the hair and the very next moment a smile appeared on his face..

...as the red mark was very much present there..

...right below her ears..

..a visible evidence that indeed everything just happened few moments ago was for real.

That means..

..he wasn't hallucinating.

And this was more than enough to make his face split into wide smile.

Nandini looked at him only to find him smiling at her..

..she didn't understood for a second the reason behind his smile..

..but that's when her hands touched the place where Manik was looking at..

..and the next moment she remembered everything which was not only enough to make her cheeks turn red but also enough to make Manik smirk while she looked away from his eyes.

She could feel his gaze on her and his not so decent present to her which was really making her blush the deeper shades of red.

"Chaley..nahi toh koi aa jaega.."she whispered without looking at him.

"After you Mam.."he gestured her to take the lead. "..because after today you will be the one to lead on everything...when it comes to us..because..you are quite good at this.."

His words made her blush.

"..Shut Up Manik.."she blushed even more. "Let's go.."

And without wasting another moment they both walked away from there after unlocking the door...fortunately without being seen by anyone.

**it's strange how people can write whole para asking for updates...and requesting me to not end this story by saying this is "my favourite story"..but the very same people find it extremely difficult to write a proper genuine comment [genuine comments doesn't include AWESOME/BEAUTIFUL..]..since it's their call so it should be only fair if it's my call to decide when should I end this story.

This story will end but only when all the loose ends are properly tied upon because my readers deserves the best of my capabilities.

But if the response drops or worsen even after all my possible attempts to make this story successful...I will wrap this story before time..because in that case that will be the only best possible option.

Hopefully my readers would understand my point of view as well.

Thank You.**
