Her Heart's Desire

Chapter 11 - I am Ready

Sanchana's POV:

It has been two months since we returned from Malta.

Kishore seemed to be different. He seemed to be more understanding and loving.

We didn't get into treatment part. At the same time we did have some contact. Like caressing cheeks and cuddling. Let's say, I am his cuddle toy.

He literally sleep on me suffocating me.

Now he is leisurously lying on my lap listening to our college stories.

I played with his hair and said, "It all started with stupid bet."

"What bet?" he asked.

"To kiss me in front of everyone." I said to him.

"Oh kiss at first sight huh? Interesting." he winked his eyes at me.

"I would say it was slap at first sight." I stuck my tongue out in playful manner.

"Continue." he said in bored tone.

"I was in my final year. That's when I saw you for first time. You were running towards me. I thought you were going to ask me something, so I waited till you calm down. Suddenly you kissed me, that too in front of everyone. Imagine! A stranger kissing you all of a sudden." I poked his chest.

"Aww you should have used that opportunity to kiss this handsome hunk." he boasted.

"Instead you... Ouch" he rubbed his head where I smacked his head few seconds ago.

"Listen." I commanded.

"Wait I will guess. As you said before you would have slapped me in front of everyone. That time I would have fallen in love with you as I know that I love feisty girls." he winked at me.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yes" I said in duh tone.

"You had a bet as you wanted to boast infront of others that girls are swoon towards you. See a perfect jerk? That's why I didn't believe you when you said you are not a flirt. Maybe you were not a flirt, you were a playboy." I mocked at him.

He cleared his throat. "You see I wasn't like that 2 years before that incident. And I am pretty sure that I wasn't a play boy." he surrended.

"Once a jerk always a jerk. Anyway, I had a bad impression on you. I thought of complaining to police but stopped after knowing about your dad. I know he has influence on every high officials. So I didn't want to take that risk.

"But you took advantage of that situation and started to come behind me. You felt as if I am different from others. Maybe you could have seen all girls coming behind you but I was running away from you, that attracted you. From then on you were like love sick puppy." I recalled all times he used to run behind me in college.

"Since it was your father's college, you used barge in the classroom and drag me. All of a sudden all girls started to give me disgusted looks. I know they were jealous of me. But I only know that trauma I went through and I was ready to trade my place with any of those girls."

"Uh-huh. I don't regret doing that, but sorry if you felt like that."

"See, still you are a jerk." I again smacked his head but this times playfully.

"I used to change my numbers and also shifted from college hostel to outside hostel, still then you were pestering me. One year passed, I got used to you trailing behind me. Meanwhile I got a little crush on you. Maybe because I liked the attention you gave to me alone. But I refused to accept that. I didn't want to fall in love with you.
