Can you all bear some hotness?
[Aditi]
"What the heck? U r smoking again? ", Darshan's husky voice came. He started off again man! "No... ", I rolled my eyes. "Then what is this? ", he asked taking the cigarette out of my hands. "A cigarette which was going to be lit! ", I sarcastically said forcing a smile. "And why? ", he asked. "Coz someone needed it. ", I monotonously said. "Aditi... Please... I am joining my hands... Stop smoking! ", he requested being defeated. "And why would I do that? ", I again forced a smile. "Coz I want it. ", he adamantly spoke. "And what good will it do to u? ", I asked. "Nothing", he replied thinking for quite long. "So? Leave me to myself", I faked anger. "Aghh... Do whatever u want! ", he said being pissed off. "Guys!! Let's play truth or dare ", Alia's voice evoked from behind. "U guys play... I am not in a mood", I replied. "Oye... Everyone is playing... So u have to... We r not asking u... We r informing u that u will be playing with us! ", she said and literally she dragged me out of the tent! What a kid!
In no time I was sitting amidst few persons whose faces I have never imagined too! Jokes apart. Prakriti handed me over a bottle of beer for which I am thankful. Because of no cigarettes from the morning, I really struggled hard to stay alive. "So everyone ready? Should we start? ", he asked in an enthusiastic tone. "Sure.. ", Rahul said in a pathetic tone. It seemed as if both of us had the same liking but NOT to my surprise, he had a girlfriend too. Aman spun the empty beer bottle which pointed me.
It pointed ME.
It pointed the person who neither would like to spit out a truth nor can dare to do something.
"So truth or dare? ", Aman asked.
"Ummm... Dare", I finally chose because nothing is a bigger dare than letting myself out.
"Then.... Kiss Darshan! ", he said and it made me choke out the beer ... even Darshan did. "R u serious?", I asked with a screwed up expression. "Yes I am! ", he said with a smirk and everyone around busted laughing. I looked at Prakriti who looked around embarrassed. "U guys are pathetic! ", I spat and went out from there. I eyed Darshan's expression. It shuffled between blushing and covering up his blush. Wait... He was blushing? HE WAS BLUSHING! I made sure no one was noticing and I went in the forest. Leaning against a tree I slid down and at last I got some time for myself... Which I usually don't provide myself. But today I have to... I need to.
I would have done it easily what Aman had asked to but.... He wouldn't be pleased nor would Prakriti feel comfortable after that. People need to filter their thoughts. Well... Did I ever do so? I felt someone's presence and I surely was shocked to see Darshan! Yes ladies and gentlemen, The Darshan Raval was here. He came and sat with me. I could smell the alcohol coming from him. "So this won't cause any harm? ", I asked him. "What? ", he innocently asked. "Alcohol... ", I replied and he looked into my eyes.
No.
Someone stop him.
Pleaseeeeeeee....
He cupped my face and asked, "Don't u like me? ". What did that question mean? Yes... From whole my heart I liked him... Not only liked but loved him... But we can't be together. "Darshan... U r drunk... Go back... Prakriti must be worried", I said in a low tone and the next moment I felt a quick movement of his lips on mine. Did he just peck my lips? Yes.. He did. I felt the urge to break into a smile but Instead I said, "No Darshan... There is no way I would like u". I blurt out only half a truth. I didn't like him... I loved him... The way he does to Prakriti... 'Love' that means so much. "U don't love me? ", he asked. This time my heart skipped a beat. I can't actually say 'yes' or 'no'. I decided to be quiet. "Darshan... We should go", I said without directly replying him even if I knew he would forget everything the next morning. "I didn't get my answer", he held my wrist and brought me closer. Closer than ever. Breaths hitching. His hands round my waist. "Please say", he begged and I looked into his eyes. His eyes. They were the deepest ocean I have ever been to. "Yes... I do love you... But we can't be together ", I muttered the truth because he would forget them the next day. The next thing he did was, he pulled me closer to him. His body heating up mine in the sheer coldness. The distance between us was electrifying. I wish he was sober right now while speaking these and hearing those... I wish he needed me. But... No! He is going to get married. He is getting married to someone he loves... He is getting MARRIED! I feel his fingers tracing my lower lips. He was leaning in and I wanted to feel my lips on him... To feel the warmth... To remove all the distances... To remove all the complexities... He leaned in kissing my neck and collar bone which just sent shivers down my spine. I clenched his T shirt tightly. He placed his hands under my top... On my bare waist and started kissing my navel. As soon as he got up to me, we got engaged in each other's eyes. He was leaning towards me or rather my lips .... But as soon as I realised what was going to happen, I pushed him away and stammered, "We gotta go back... And no questions..", I sternly threatened him. "If u love me then y didn't u kiss me? ", he asked smiling his baby smile. Why didn't I kiss him? I don't know. "Because u r going to get married and u can kiss only ur would-be", I said sounding carefree but I cared a lot... A lot more than I showed. "Valid point... But u love me... And I heard people who love don't hesitate to kiss their loved ones. ", he said and walked with me till we got to the clearing. I handed him over to Prakriti."Oh Darshan! Where were you? ", Prakriti asked worriedly but... He was in a deep slumber now. I HANDED HIM OVER TO PRAKRITI. Take care of this precious gem, my Darshan.
//I too wanted them to kiss... 😁😁//
