After a plane crash leaves Avneet alone and stranded in an abandoned island, she feels helpless. But when she meets another survivor, a sexy-as-sin hot-as-hell engineer, Siddharth, maybe being stranded isn't so bad after all.
I went up and up until I reached the mangoes and began to gather the ripen ones. I was just about to make my way down when I missed a branch and fell tumbling down the tree.
I braced myself for the impact and thorns but it never came. Instead, I felt a pair of arms hold me and hazel brown eyes boring into mine.
It was a man.
A man in all sense of the word. His dark brown hair messily slicked to the side and a deep scar running across the side of his cheek. I held on to him tightly as I continued to look over all his godly features.
"As lovely as this straight out of a cliché teenage movie scene is, you're sort of heavy.", he spoke with a rich husky voice.
"Right," I say and he gently brings me back to the ground.
Avneet: Thanks, I guess.
Man: You're welcome, I guess.
Avneet: You could have saved those mangoes too, you know. Now I have to go and pluck some all over again and potentially fall off all over again.
Man: I don't think I'll be able to hold your weight all over again, though.
Avneet: Excuse me?
Man: You're excused.
I looked to his direction glaring and in a few seconds we both broke off into laughter. I went back to the bundle of mangoes and picking one that hadn't been squashed, I gave it to the man.
The man nods at me, which I took as thank you and begins to take the peel off. He turned back at me and in a hushed voice he asked, "Are you from umm.. the crash?"
I lower my head and nod.
Avneet: You too?
Man: Yes and I have some bad news.
Avneet: More bad news? Seems like the worst freaking day in my already miserable life.
Man: I went up and examined every single body. All of them are dead. We're the only survivors. The two of us are alone in this island.
Avneet: Oh.
We stood there silent for a few second until he finally broke the silence.
Man: We'll get through this. Don't worry. Maybe a ship or a plane will come here sometime soon.
Avneet: We WON'T get through this. Look, I appreciate your optimism and all but we're STRANDED in a place we know nothing about and the two of us is all we got!
Man: Exactly, the two of us is all we got. So we're gonna work together and survive in this place until we find a way to go back home.
I nodded silently.
Man: By any chance, do you have your phone? I left mine in the plane when I was running out.
Avneet: No, mine broke when I jumped out and crashed here.
Man: Just great. Anyways, since we're the only company we have, I didn't catch your name.
"I never threw it anyways.", I clap back sneakily and he chuckles lightly. God, his chuckling is freaking hot.
Man: What's your name?
"Avneet, Avneet Kaur.", I say and raise my hand for a handshake.
"Siddharth Nigam", he says and shakes it with a little smile.
So the second chapter is up! I hope you enjoyed this. Now that they've officially met, what do you think will happen next? Vote and comment.
Love lots, Kyra.
