Perpetual Infatuation

25- First Night or First Kick?

"Urghh Mumma" I gritted my teeth with tears in my eyes and sat in the car.

-----------------------

Mumma was indeed right, she actually made a point which gave me the much needed relief. Moreover its not like I'm leaving forever and no matter what my mother will always be at my side.

The car skid which broke my thought and pushed me to my right side ultimately bumping into Manik, whom existence I ignored like plague

I didn't even look at his face because lets be honest, he must be looking drool worthy handsome and I can't afford to embarrass myself infront of him.

The car stopped with a screech sound and I looked outside to see myself surrounded by darkness, a scary darkness. I was trying to figure out where are we when Manik cleared his throat " come "

Involuntarily, I got out only to see a small cottage at the back of the car. It was traditional yet modern, designed like the one in the movies.

" Come inside. You must be feeling cold " I heard him

And that's when I came back to the reality and saw Manik. He was looking extremely handsome in his black sherwani and gelled up hair with a little stubble on his droolworthy face.

Thankfully, I was able to get a grip of myself and my mind worked

" Wh-wh-what do you mean? " I stuttered

" Huh? Come inside " he said confused acting all innocent

" Don't think I don't know about your tricks. I'm not scared of you "I gritted my teeth

" Is that so? " He took a step forward towards me making me take two steps backward

" Manik Malhotra, don't try to scare me. I am n-not going to t-tolerate any of your violence, I have learnt s-self defense technique " I tried to make him scared but my voice came out like a small whisper, while my body leaning more and more towards the car

" what? Self Defense? How many hours of training, Wifey? " He asked with an amused expression trapping me between the car and him

" umm 8-8 y-years " I said without thinking, as the last time I did made fun of myself regarding Taekwondo but not this time

" God, why so cute? Tell me the truth " he said lowering his head to my level

" It-its the T-truth " I hated myself at that time for being such a loser

" Truth wifey, Truth" he asked angling his lips just infront of mine, making my heart stopped

Why is he doing this?

" Tell me " he again asked moving a little more. I swear, Our lips touched a little very Little. As he had already trapped me and my whole body, I couldn't move an inch

Not having any other option, I spoke the truth and that was way too embarassing

" One hour " I whispered

But the jerk was still not leaving me, his amused expression still adorned his face. It felt like no one exist in that moment, I was in a daze staring at him when he pecked or more like gave a wet kiss on the corner of my lips making my eyes go wide and my oxygen level dropped till zero.

" Now will you come or should I pick you up? " Whispering into my ears, he finally left me

I was in a shock with whatever happened just now, my mind was blank and involuntarily I followed him to the cottage.

-------------------

The inside of the cottage was thousand times more beautiful than outside. Apparently the cottage is Manik's ancestral property and all the couple in his family spent their first night here.
