Flashback continues....

"NO WAY" Sonakshi screamed making Jatin, Natasha and Pooja stunned. Sonakshi's face burned in embarrassment like a bright tomato as she stared at Dev with shock. How dare he ask her for such a ridiculous thing?

The rest of them around were all not aware of what Dev had asked, so they were all clueless with Sona's sudden outburst. However, Dev still had his smirk on his face as he replied calmly,

"If you are scared about your own assumptions, then I am okay with it Sonakshi. I am not forcing you because I know that I am always right... And this time we are going to win!" he gave an evil smile making Sonakshi extremely infuriated.

"Whatever Dev... You know what? I am not going to agree for this stupid deman..." before Sonakshi could complete, Pooja interrupted them.

"You know what? Sonakshi will agree for your demand. Mark my words! Now let's go from here, Sona.." Pooja dragged a stunned Sonakshi from the place.

"Dev! Now, what was it that you demanded from that poor girl?" Jatin asked, trying to control his amusement.

"That would be our small secret. It's between me and her." Dev smiled and walked away from there.

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

Sona's POV

Kiss??? Was he kidding me? Is that how he talks to all the students in the college? I was so angry at Pooja. How could she just accept the bet without knowing his demands? Errr this is too much! But can I blame anyone for that? No! because this is all because of me. If I had kept my mouth shut, I wouldn't have landed in such a big trouble.

I never told anyone about Dev's demand. Not even to Pooja. How could I say that he basically asked me for a kiss?

Meanwhile, a lot of other girls in my class were curious to know about Dev's demands. My bet with Dev became a flashing news for the whole cohort. Walking down the corridors after lessons, I could feel the enormous amount of jealously stares targeted at me.

That's when I felt a guy blocking my pathway to the doors. It was that harmless Jatin!

"Heyy... wait... my name is Jatin! I just want to know what's the bet prize that Dev had negotiated, if our team wins?" he asked enthusiastically.

I immediately stopped walking and faced him.

"Didn't Dev tell you?" I asked surprised.

"Nope! He told me that it's a secret between you guys! But you know... I can't take secrets. It will kill me. So please say na?" he said with his voice was full of energy.

"Since it's a secret, I can't tell you as well. Go and bug your friend if you want" I replied.

"Okay your wish. But I warn you.... After our team wins, I will still get to know, okay? By the way, you are different and I like you.. Okay, let's make a deal. I will not ask for your secret between you and Dev. But in return, do I get your friend Pooja's number? " he negotiated with a mischievous grin.

"Seriously Jatin?" I asked and burst out laughing. Moments later Jatin too joined me and we started laughing like maniacs. I told him that he would never get Pooja's number no matter how hard he tried. If he wants it, he has to impress her.

Jatin later followed me around the school and showed me a few places. Soon we became good friends too. I realized he was an extremely friendly person and someone who always looked at things in a positive way. He was a fun person who always had a smile on his face. Finally, I knew that he would be someone whom I can always look out for, when I needed help.

DEV'S POV

Days were passing faster than I thought. I was practicing too hard for the football match. I knew this time, it was going to be harder than usual to win the game, since the famous GVX College guys were in it. Sonakshi's words became my motivation. I just wanted to win this game for her. This time my team had to win this match by hook or crook. Jatin and I were mentally and physically getting prepared for the match.

It was really tough to do the practices. Jatin would usually throw his tantrums at me, accusing me that I was killing him with my intense workouts. It really took us a lot of practice to prepare for this tournament.

Nevertheless, I hope it's worth it.

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

Finally, the most awaited day came. Me and Jatin were tensed, sitting down at the locker room and talking to our teammates when I saw Sonakshi walking inside. She looked absolutely like an angel, knocking off all my senses.

I could see her nearing towards Jatin. When she was infront Jatin, she whispered something to him and fed the 'prasad' sweetly. I somewhat felt jealous that he was getting all her affection although I knew that they were just good friends. Shifting slightly to the right, I tried to eavesdrop on what they were talking.

"I am not promising you that you will win! Although you don't have my blessings, it's always good to have god's blessing, you know?" Sona said while stuffing the small ladoo piece into Jatin's mouth.

"Mere maa! Don't feed me with all the fattening sweets okay. Save it for the after-celebration. And thank you soooo much for your wishes! I wish you all the best for your bet too" he winked before leaving the place. I could sense her stiffening at his last sentence.

She slowly turned and looked at me. I could tell that she was still nervous. She was fumbling with her fingers and contemplated whether she should to talk to me or not. Eventually deciding former, she slowly walked up to me. I stayed silent, curiously waiting for her to speak. After one minute of silence, I decided to break that silence.

"If you are done staring at me, shall I leave? After all I have my bet to fulfil.." I said curtly when I heard her speaking.

"All the best..." she said and handed over to me the same sweet she fed Jatin. I was absolutely shocked by her action. Instead of taking it by my hands I opened my mouth, indicating her to feed me. I knew it was a childish move but my mind wanted to know whether she was willing to do it.

She slowly grabbed my hand in hers and placed the 'prasad' in my hands before rushing out of that place. I could already see her blushing badly. Her innocence was such a turn on for any guy. At that moment I realized that if I have her, then I wouldn't want anything else in my life. She was my drug.

I needed to win this fucking match!

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

The match was going on for more than 2 hours and we were so exhausted under that extreme heat. We were just one score away from winning. The scores were equal. The ball was coming towards me and I finally went for it. Just like the first goal of the game, everyone in the crowd stood up while watching the ball. And....

Goal!!!!

The timing ran out. That was the winning goal. I couldn't believe my own eyes. All I did was put out my hands up in the air and ran around the entire field. My teammates ran towards me and carried me in joy. Everyone was shouting my name and throwing all kinds of coloured papers at me. It was a big accomplishment and I felt like the hero of the match! BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. The referee blew his whistle again to announce the end of the game.

My happiness knew no bounds. It took me approximately fifteen minutes to come out from that contentment and see the real world.

My college-mates rushed towards me to congratulate and carry me but my eyes were constantly searching for one person among the crowd. Yes, most of the times I could feel Sonakshi's gaze on me during the match, but where was she now. And after all...how can I compromise on my bet?

I quickly spotted Pooja who was near the pillar, sitting with her friends. I walked up to her and asked her about Sonakshi. She looked alarmed and then informed me that Sonakshi ran away once the final goal was scored. She also mentioned that she was confused on why she did that.

I internally smirked knowing the real reason for her disappearance.

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

After searching for Sonakshi for almost half an hour, I started to get worried. Did she take my warnings too seriously? That's when Natasha came running towards me.

"Dev, I saw her walking towards the library..." before she could complete the sentence, my legs automatically fled towards the library. I ran as fast as I could not caring about the people around me. Finding Sonakshi was my utmost priority right now.

When I reached the library, I started searching for her at every table and shelves. Honestly, the library was so quiet and it was such a bad place for a hideout. Did Sona really think I wouldn't find her?

Suddenly I could feel a movement behind me. When I turned behind, I spot Sonakshi running away to the other corner in panic. Before she could run away further, I sprinted towards her and finally caught her wrist.

That made her halt in her position as I caged her between me and the walls behind the shelve. I pushed her more and made sure that her entire body was pasted to the wall. The more I moved closer, the faster her breathing started to increase. Shit, even I am sweating.

Sona's POV

His intense stare was making me nervous as hell. I was so stupid to come to the library at this timing. Where did all the studious people disappear? The library was surprisingly quiet today and I could hear my own heartbeat in that silence. I could feel my legs becoming jelly but before I fell, I felt his arms tightening around me, securing me from falling down.

"Hey, we had a bet you know? I won the match.... Won't you fulfil my demands now?" Dev asked, making my eyes dilate.

His eyes were filled with lust and hunger. He looked raw and sweaty from all the running in that field. His messy hair added on to his hotness as I kept staring at him confusedly. I opened my mouth to say something but there were no words coming out. I unknowingly placed my hand on his chest. I did not know whether my hands wanted to push him or encourage him.

"Dev...Please don't..." I struggled to say those words out.

"What about....No!" he smirked, inching closer to my lips.

"Dev... please." I pleaded in a soft tone.

"Stop me...Sonakshi.." he said huskily. He was actually giving me an option. But I guess my heart already took it's own decision. I couldn't find the willpower in me to stop him. Although I knew that stopping him should be the right thing to do, I didn't....

His hands cupped my cheeks and he lowered his face till his lips met mine.

Oh my god!! What am I doing? I should stop him. This is so wrong but it feels so right. Maybe one kiss won't harm. Maybe.

His insistent mouth parted mine, sending wild tremors along my nerves. I didn't even know when but I eventually started kissing him back. His hands went to my back and fisted my hair strongly. It felt perfect to be in that position. Dev's soft lips were on me, and he tasted like honey. We were kissing madly without even realizing the place we were at. His hands caressed my waist and went lower down my body. His grip tightened near my bum as I gasped in surprise. His tongue took this as an opportunity and slipped deeper inside my mouth. Gently but it was demanding.

My fingers unknowingly gripped his hair and pulled him closer. Who knew that I had such a wild side in me?

My veins throbbed and skin was burnt with desire. I was so lost in the kiss that I couldn't even open my eyes back. My arms tightened on his shirt and I felt my myself loss of breath. His hands started to roam freely around my body feeling every inch of my clothed skin. This felt so new and pleasurable. It just felt sinfully wrong, yet right.

His kiss became so urgent and he bit my lips impatiently. I hissed in both pain and pleasure. I held on to him for my dear life, not caring about the consequences of getting caught. When I sensed the shortness of breath, I pulled immediately away from him. He looked at me while I gasped for air. Our eyes locked and we didn't even pull away from that gaze.

However few seconds later, he latched his lips again with mine. This time, he was pressing his body against mine and his kisses were full of hunger. This kiss was twice as intense as the first one. I never knew that a kiss could feel so good in my entire life. You have a long way to go Sona...

After being fully satisfied, I felt his arms loosening and he slowly detached himself. I felt like I ran a marathon in these two minutes. He rested his forehead against mine and panted heavily. We were looking at each other and none of us said anything.

The silence was getting awkward. It's been 5 minutes since I had my first kiss with my senior. I wanted to cry for my stupidity. I have heard too many stories of handsome hunks cheating and playing with innocent girls' hearts and minds. Moreover, Dev Dixit was a Romeo in that college. He must have had a few flings here and there. How did I get so dumb?

Now I was standing here imagining myself as a victim. I didn't know whether to cry or to feel stupid about what happened. There was no way I can act like a victim here, because I agreed for the bet and allowed him to kiss me. What's more amusing, I even kissed him back!

I felt so awful when I realised that I equally enjoyed the kiss. I was sure Dev sensed the change in my expressions, because the next words he said completely took my breath.

"I love you Sonakshi.. Love you so damn much.." he whispered.
