" I will drive by my own." I told my driver who's waiting for me near the car.

"Okay, sir. " he give me the car key and I got into my car.

Now, I'm on the way to the dinner party and I wore a dark tuxedo with a matching white shirt yet a small black bow tie collared my shirt. I give my key to the valet at the entrance and he took it politely.

I entered the dinner hall and make my way to the host of the event. We greeted each other and he insisted me to join the dinner. I excused myself for sometime as I started to wander around to find any of my colleague and I bumped onto Jen.

"Hey, Jen." I greeted her with a smile and her eyes came to meet mien.

"Hello, sir. " she murmured and started blushing profusely.

Oh, huh. I hope I don't effect her in 'that' way so I quickly looked away. In attempt to avoid from any more awkwardness, I diverted the situation by asking, "How do you get here? "

But her gaze was still on me as if she didn't want to pull away. She is studying me intentionally and I noticed that she's nearly as red as a tomato.

"Are you here? " I snapped my fingers on her sight and she wiggled as she came back to reality.

She began to blush again and all I could do is to take a sigh. What's happening with her now?

"Hurmm..I came here with Miss Ishita, actually. " she said with shyness clearly radiating on her face.

I freezed on my spot at the mention of her name. The first woman that made me feel like a caveman.

The day when she said that she doesn't like me near her haunted my brain again and I found myself becoming dull day by day by that fact. I know that she's not like those girls that hungrily yearns for my attention but I...I thought that she like me personally.

Her body language accepted my closeness on our first day in my room or so I thought, but I swear if she stopped or even hit me on the first place, I won't be expecting this much pain now.

But the moment when she said that she doesn't like me being this close to her, I completely drown in affliction as I stood blankly tgere. Why is this woman affecting me so badly? She's just different and simple from other women but why do I found myself fascinating her? Maybe because of those black shiny eyes.

"Sir, are you here? " Jen asked me this time and now I came back to reality.

"Ya, I'm here. So...where is she? " I asked hesitatingly for her whereabout.

"Why? " she asked and for some reason her face turned down.

"No, I just wanna know why you are alone when she's here. " I said while running my fingers through my hair.

"Relax, sir. She's right over there only. " she said and smiled while pointing over my shoulder.

I turned around and I saw her. Standing there elegantly like goddess in an elegant saree and a big designed earrings that matches her amazing attire.

She glittered like a shining star among everyone here and I even noticed some women looking her with jealousy. Though, the guys were drooling over her glances but she stood there confidently without bothering any of their gazes while talking to a man. She's smiling over him and I, for some reason got stiffen. My hand came on a fist and I took a breath to relief my rising fury.

She started to look around after smiling for whatever he said and our eyes met. I missed her gaze. I missed her smell. I missed her even if its only 3 days.

I never get the chance to encounter her after our last talk and I missed her a lot. Her beautiful smile drop the moment her eyes met mine and I felt tormented to know that those lips quit smiling because of me.

My eyes went downwards at the torturous heartache I'm feeling right now. Ignoring anyone or anything around me, I left the hall to get some air and walking around the corridor, I spot this perfect view of a lake side and decided to stay there for sometime as I wanted to keep my emotions checked.

A few moments later, I heard foot steps behind me and when I turned to see the person, I was surprised that the woman who colonized my brain walking towards me. She stood there nervously as she took a deep sigh and she was extremely gorgeous to be seen this close that I couldn't help but wonder how would it feel if I kiss her now.

She don't like me that close and what will she do if I kiss her? She definitely not going to let me alive. I shook that thoughts away and my gaze locked with hers but now she seemed to be at ease with our gaze. Or so it will be only a assumption of mine.

At my last musing, I swirled around from facing her. I wanted her to leave before I exaggerate something that might make her uncomfortable.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry." I heard her saying in the worried tone and I couldn't help it but to take a turn so that I will be facing her right now.

Her beautiful eyes were gloomy as it glances onto the floor. I just wanted to hug her so that I could assure her that it was alright but...but she don't want me around her. Who knows, that eventually she will start hating me then.

"For what? " I asked to make a bit more conversation with her.

"For the other day. You were heartbroken since that day. " she said in a low tone.

"Who said that I got broken? I'm not. " I lied because I don't want her to know that her assumption was correct.

"You were broken and still you are. " she huffed and my lips curved into this small smile as she crossed her arms with a cute pout on her lips.

"No, I'm not. " I whined like a kid and a smile irrupted her lips now.

"Okay, fine then. " she turned to walk away and a song started to play on our background, making her to stop on her ground.

She looked me questioningly.

"The waltz just began. " I informed and she nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"Okay, I guess...I have to leave then. Hope you forgive me and see you tomorrow at work. " she said in a breath while turning away rapidly.

"Do you want to dance with me? " I asked without a single thought while lending her to take my hand.

I don't want her to leave actually and she's regreting for what she said that day so why not, right. With this, at least, I could be close to her.

"I'm not used to this. " she mumbled shyly while shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, let me help you then. " I said while still extending my hand.

"I will accept your apology if you dance with me, Miss Ishita Hassan. " I made a simple offer as I had a flick that she might fall for this and her eyes narrowed at mine.

I jerk my head like a nod and unexpectedly, she bit on her lower lip as it only fueled my anticipation to taste them. She wandered nearer to me and the moment she took my hand, I pulled her very closely.

I missed this proximity with her and now I'm getting it back. To my surprise, she doesn't back away but keep on getting comfortable. Her saree was covering her right side but her left was uncovered, revealing her dainty waist.

"I can't do this. " she panicked while pressing her body unconsciously closer to me.

"Oh, you can. Just follow my lead. " I lean in next to her ear and whispered soothingly.

She let out a relief breath while looking anywhere but me. I want her eyes on mine so I free her hand and slightly glided my hand to her waist to hold on it while another, still grasping her hand.

My heart skips fast as my palm hovered over her soft skin and she gasped while looking into my eyes immediately. For now, I particularly prayed for her to not throw me into the lake or to hit me hard from anything around us like she did with Kane.

But the latter fails my thoughts as she bit her lips while sucking on her breath with her eyes closed.

"You ready? "I asked softly.

"Yes. " she said while opening her eyes and I started to sway us slowly without losing our contacts.

Then, my arm traveled around her waist to keep her in place and she accepted it comfortably. I felt my heart leaping for this proximity and the way she reacts to my touches.

Our faces were just inches apart and I rested my forehead on hers while we were swayed continously. She closed her eyes and I was busy admiring her feature. She looks really peaceful and calm, I want to keep her like this forever.

I am falling way too hard for this woman.

I leaned away and she opened her eyes in degrees. Our eyes locked onto each other deeply and my hand free our clasped palms to caress her burning red cheeks. Ishita the 'Jhansi Rani' is blushing finally and I felt the happiest that it's because of me.

She held my gaze and she too looked unbothered even when she felt my caressing on her cheeks.

I didn't know what took over me but the urge to kiss those lips were so ultimatum. Without thinking twice, I slowly connected my lips on hers and I felt her freezing on my arms.

Her right hand came to my chest as she pats a bit, letting me to realise that she's okay and with that I captured her face in between my palms to kiss her passionately.

I wasn't sure if I was waiting for this moment for all my life but I'm sure that ricked it's happening. The kiss thay recreated into a perfect present, as every breath I took smelled like lavender and for the first time, I didn't feel lust but purely affection by kissing.

I bit her lower lips softly to intensify our wanting and she moaned in the most sexiest way. I took the chance to make my entrance into her delicious mouth and she let me have her.

Not lying, I had kissed a lot of girls before but I couldn't find such heaven that I had found in her. I really wanted the time to stop and I want this right now.

The warm feeling of her moans was very much inviting and I nearly growled at our need to breath kicked in. We panted for air, filling in our lungs and her eyes suddenly became wide.

She gasped as she covers her mouth in shock and she quickly dissappeared from my sight while I'm watching her sprinting away from me.

What's happening here?
