A New Beginning

Chapter 3: Party

Jaddu's POV:-

I licked my lips as I looked at myself in the mirror. For the first time in my life I was thinking about what to wear to Virat's house. Usually I just wore whatever I first saw.

I looked at my refection and saw that I was clearly frustrated. This is not something that happens to me. I sighed loudly before tearing my eyes away from the mirror just being satisfied with what I was wearing. If I didn't get going now I would be very late.

Walking out of the hotel room where I was staying for the time that the Indian team camp was in Delhi, I locked the door and fished out my car keys from my pocket.

Slipping into my car I switched on the radio before I started driving towards Virat's house.

Twenty minutes later I was standing outside Virat's door, ringing the bell. The door opened and Elize stood before me in her usual jeans and tshirt, waving me inside and then shut the door behind me.

"Make yourself comfortable. Not that I have to tell you to." She said with a smile on her face and I just nodded. I moved inside the living room leaving her behind.

Looking all around me I finally saw a beautiful face that I was looking for sitting on a chair to my right talking to Raina and Priyanka, his wife. She was wearing shorts and a mickeymouse tshirt with black boots that stopped a little above her ankles, with her hair in a platt sitting on her shoulder. Without knowing I felt a smile come on my face and unconsciously I started walking towards them.

When I approached them Raina looked up at me.

"Hey bhai!" He said without even bothering to get up from his seat. I didn't mind because we were always with each other so there was really no need to greet me.

"Hey. Hi bhabhi, Akku." I said and bhabhi just smiled and greeted me back while Akku twisted in her seat to look at me before smiling slightly.

"Hi rockstar." Akku said and I saw a mischievous glint in her eyes.

I would have probably kept on staring at her had Priyanka not spoken up.

"Oooohhh slow song, c'mon Raina we gotta dance." Priyanka cooed and Raina gladly stood up holding her hand as they walked off to the dance floor, which was basically the only area not crowded with furniture.

I turned towards Akku and sat in the seat Raina had just vacated. "Why do you call me rockstar?" I asked her curiously.

"You'll have to figure that out yourself. Now won't you ask me for a dance?" She replied and I was surprised that she just randomly asked me to dance with her. I shook off my surprise and stood up to hold my hand infront of her.

"Would you do me the honour of dancing with me, my lady?" I spoke in a British accent and she laughed before holding my hand.

We walked towards the so called dance floor and I lightly pulled her into my arms. She was just an inch shorter than me and if we hugged she would have probably fit right into my arms. I liked tall girls and she felt perfect.

She put her arms on my shoulders while I put them lightly on her waist. I was nervous and I didn't know why. For some reason I wanted to impress her and this was not just a stupid crush. This was something deeper and I didn't understand this connection I felt with her.

"Is everything alright? I feel like I'm forcing you into this dance." She teased with a smile. I decided to stop overthinking and let loose.

I started dancing properly and pulled her closer before I pushed her away just to spin her in a circle a few times and then pull her back towards me and made her dip down before straightening her up. We did salsa for a couple more minutes before the song changed into something more upbeat and desi.

She started swaying her hips from side to side and I followed her movements. I noticed that she really knew how to dance and I was absolutely no match for her. She pulled me closer to her suddenly and I could feel her breath on my skin.

"You don't remember me, do you rockstar?" She asked while looking into my eyes with dissapointment before she abruptly stopped dancing, walking off to a corner, leaving me gaping behind her confused.

I was supposed to know her? Hell, she did feel familiar to me but I seriously had no clue as to who she was.
