(Flashback continues)

After 2 months...

For the past two months, Dev did not even leave a single chance to chase Sonakshi. He had been constantly trying to make Sonakshi realize her love for him. Even Pooja and Jatin realized how serious Dev was with her. Both of them were initially angry at both Dev and Sona for hiding their fishy romance, but later ensured them that they would be with them in whatever decision they took.

Jatin who knew Dev from young, could really see how serious Dev was when it came to Sona. He wasn't like this for any girls. He had seen Dev changing his ways for so many things. He even communicated about this to Pooja. But nothing seemed to work on Sona. She constantly kept rejecting him.

Jatin kept telling Sonakshi that she should at least open up to Dev about what's going on in her mind, but Sonakshi kept on running away from him. She did not give anyone a proper answer either. Sona was extremely afraid and her insecurities made it more difficult for her to communicate with Dev.

However, Dev just decided to remain calm and he tried his best to give her the space that she needed. Maybe all she needed was space, he thought. He did not want to pressurize her since he understood that all these were new to her. However, at the same time he was an impatient man as well. Day by day he was losing hope on getting an answer from her.

One day, Sonakshi and her family went out on a family dinner together. Her father who had just returned from his business trip, decided to bring his daughters for a family outing. After spending the whole day on watching movies and shopping, they decided to end the day with a splendid dinner at a well-known restaurant.

After Sonakshi and Elena were done fighting about what to eat, they placed their orders and waited for their food to arrive. While they were having some light conversation, Sonakshi felt a pair of eyes staring at her constantly. When she turned and looked at the table diagonally to hers, she spotted Dev sipping on to his coffee casually.

Sona felt the entire world stopping around her. It felt as thought her mind had a pause button and only Dev's image was playing on a loop. She tried to shake her head to dismiss her hallucinations. No matter how hard she tried, his image did not disappear. He was there for real!

There was no one with him on the table.

She was terrified the moment his eyes met hers. His face held his signature smirk as he took another sip of his drink. How long was he there? She was sure that he was following her all the while. Or else, there was no way he would know where she was having dinner. No matter how much she tried to divert her mind, her gaze kept on falling on him again and again.

Sona's POV

I glared at him but his smirk never left his face. The waiter came over to our table with the food. However, my eyes were fully on Dev. I was afraid that he might do something stupid infront of my parents. Somewhere deep in my heart, I enjoyed the thrill of being chased by him but now fear took over my feelings. The insecurities within me made me deny the love I had for him. This was extremely painful to face, on a daily basis.

I knew he was capable of doing anything. Dev Dixit is one hell of a crazy man. When he had the guts to enter my house like that, then I don't think he would think twice to come up to me and drag me with him.

Noticing my food being untouched, my dad asked looked at me strangely.

"Sona, what's wrong? Are you alright, beta?"

"Yes baba! Nothing. Just don't have the appetite suddenly.." I tried to ignore his questions.

"Haa baba! She doesn't eat at all these days. Don't understand what is wrong with her!" Elena chirped, making me more annoyed.

My parents were getting worried about my behaviour and advised me on how to deal with stress. But little did they know that my reason of stress was sitting just infront of our table. My focus was all on Dev and his presence was making my pressure shoot up every second.

That's when I saw him slowly getting up from his table advancing towards us. Do something Sona!

I started to panic and quickly excused myself from my parents. Everyone were shocked with my sudden exit but I had no choice. I quickly rushed towards the washroom and rested my hands against the counter there. Immediately, a large pair of hands wrapped around my waist from behind. I stilled and looked sideways.

I knew who it was and quickly tried to remove his hands but he did not budge from his position. He rested his chin on my shoulder and looked at me through the mirror. I kept a straight face, showing him that I was not at all impressed with his behaviour.

This time, honestly I wasn't happy about this. He was constantly giving me panic attacks and this wasn't right!

When we heard a sound walking towards that area, Dev quickly pulled me inside one of the cubicles and locked the door. I was stunned and agitated at the same time.

"Dev!!! What the hell are you trying to do?? This is really not funny!" I whispered to him with a straight face.

He quickly moved towards me and pasted his entire body with mine. He slowly moved his hands towards the rim of my shirt and lifted it slightly so that his hands were resting on my bare stomach. My breathing got hitched and I instantly started to struggle in his iron-like grip

"So, fucking sexy..." he whispered. Somehow his dirty words were now turning me on so badly. This was so wrong yet it felt really good. We being this intimate, scared me more thinking about being in a lifelong relationship with Dev. Would I be able to handle his tortures?

"Dev...please...leave" I said knowing he still wouldn't. I still tried my luck but he started to dip his face deeper into my neck and peppered me with his soft kisses. My breathing started to increase as his hands went behind and traced my spinal column. This time I couldn't control myself and moaned his name. He placed a bite near my shoulder and started to suck the skin slowly like a warewolf.

"Devvv..." I moaned.

"I love you so much Sonaa..."

"I know..." I breathed.

He came out from his position and rested his forehead against mine. His eyes held a lot of questions as he looked at me.

"Then why are you still denying me, Sonakshi? Why are you pushing me away? I had given you lots of time and space. I have been madly chasing you for the past two months... This is all new to me too. I can't take this darling. You got to understand me..." he said, still tracing my cheeks.

"Why me Dev?..." I suddenly asked. I knew he was right, but he had to understand my insecurities as well.

"What do you mean? Why? Am I that bad? Do I not fulfil any of your dream guy qualities?" he asked with a glint of pain in his voice.

I quickly shook my head and lowered my heads in shame. I somehow couldn't meet his eyes as I speak.

"You are everything Dev. Charming, handsome, good looking, generous, friendly, famous, rich etc.... There is a lot I can tell about you, but I am nothing like you Dev. I am extremely boring, simple, middle classed and...urmm you know... Nerd types." I completed still looking down. I could feel his fingers grasping my chin and tilting my head upwards to look at him.

"Come on Sonakshi...You are not a nerd. Moreover, you are everything I want and need! Your simplicity is not boring but beauty. Being middle class does not stop people from loving each other... Why the hell are you worried so much? Are you scared that you would be judged? Listen....no matter what happens, I am going to love you throughout and we shall face all the problems together sweetheart... Don't do this to yourself." He tried to convince. But the more he tried, the more my heart sank. I always thought he deserved someone better than me.

He immediately pulled me into a hug and started to torture me with his crazy touches. His hands explored every inch of my waist before fumbling with my jean's buttons. My entire body started to tremble under him as he traced my jeans zipper from top to bottom.

"Leave Dev.."

"Try harder..." he whispered.

"My parents are just a few meters away... Don't get me into trouble na." I begged.

"Hmmm...and you are still not stopping me?" he asked with a smirk.

As my breathing got heavier, I slowly held his hands and whispered softly.

"Pleaseee... Just one time, listen to me." I gave him a pleading look when we heard another voice outside the cubicle.

"Sonakshi!!!!! Are you there?? Do you know how long it's been since you went toilet? Are you ok?" I heard Elena shouting at me. I quickly covered Dev's mouth with my palms, fearing that he would make any noise. His fingers were still fondling with my jean's buttons.

"Haa...Ele I will just be out. I am fine just some stomach upset. You go....ahhh..." just before I could complete, Dev's hands picked me up and wrapped my legs forcefully around his waist. I looked at him angrily while my palms were still on his mouth. He pushed himself more into me and made sure I felt his hard bulge grinding on me.

My words got stuck inside my throat as I looked at him with fury. But when he pushed himself more on me, I lost my senses.

"Ouuhhh...god!!" a traitorous voice left my lips to the pleasure he was giving me was too much to bear.

I unconsciously grinded on him more and heard him growl lowly against my palms.

"What's wrong Sona? Are you ok? Should I call mum here?" I heard Elena's worried voice again.

My fear of being caught by Elena was increasing every minute. Dev was such an inconsiderate person! Couldn't he find a better place and time?? Damn!

"You just... g..go first. I will.....b....be out........ in a while." I stammered while I convinced her with great difficulty.

After initially denying, I heard her footsteps going further away. Sighing in relieve I looked at Dev's face. He started to kiss my palms which were covering his mouth. I immediately got down from him and smacked his shoulders angrily. However, that action only made him laugh.

I finally felt relieved from the distance created between us. It gave me time to clear my mind. Whatever happened a few minutes ago felt so wrong yet I enjoyed it. 'Sonakshi...you are a sanskaari person! Don't forget it!!" my mind taunted

"Look Sona! This is your final chance...I am not going to wait for you forever. You have to confess your love for me or I am going to stop coming to college. If your answer is a no, I want to hear it from your mouth as well. So, please come to the garden behind our college tomorrow. I will be waiting there for you. Listen, if you don't come then I swear you won't see me again! Ever again! Okay?" he said sternly.

Unlocking the door, he quickly left the cubicle without waiting for my reply.

I just rolled my eyes listening to his dramatic dialogue. For the past two months, he had been saying lots of things like this. I knew that if I didn't listen him, nothing huge will happen tomorrow. He will still end up pursuing me in other ways.

But something in my mind told me that I was wrong. Maybe he really meant what he said. I slowly left the washroom cubicle and met a stunned Elena.

Damn...not again. First Jatin, then Pooja and now...Elena!

It was sure she saw Dev and me coming out from the same cubicle. I promised her that I will tell her everything once we reach home and she promised me that she would keep this a secret from my parents. I was really thankful to have such understanding sister and friends.

When I came back home, my thoughts were all jumbled up with the one person who changed my entire life in months.

I was playing with a guy's feeling and this was just injustice. I can't lead a person on like this. Today when Dev was being so close to me, I did not even stop him once! I was sure that my actions could have given him higher hopes. Why am I so contradicting?

I closed my eyes thinking about my family and career. I knew how much my father and mother will be affected if they know that I am in a relationship during my college days. Should I meet him in the garden tomorrow like he said? But what answer will I give him? Yes or no?

If I said yes, will my studies be affected? What will the whole college talk about me? What will my parents do? Will they stop sending me to college? Shit... was I ready for all this?

Finally, I made my decision. I am going to meet him as usual in college and tell him a straight NO! No garden. No intimacy. No Dev Dixit. No love. No relationship.

End of story.
