Sona's POV

Slowly and reluctantly, I uncovered my face from the heavy duvet. I blinked my eyes repeatedly and absorbed the unfamiliar surroundings. Streaks of sunlight penetrated the window and blinded my eyes. I sat up, dragged my feet off the bed and rubbed my knuckles on my eyes. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned lazily. My eyes slowly took in the surroundings and I immediately panicked.

This wasn't my room. It was a place I haven't seen before. Shit!! What happened? I didn't know what was happening. The last thing I remembered was the argument with Diya at the charity event! Crap!!! I knew that I drank alcohol last night. But what happened after that? I was clueless as I looked down at myself and gasped in horror.

I was sleeping with just a bathrobe and inner garments. God.. this was getting scarier than I expected. I looked around to find my clothes or phone but they were not there. I quickly rushed to the washroom in the side and found my clothes there. Did I change the clothes by myself or..... Gosh no!

I took a quick shower and wore my clothes in a haste. I was terrified to even open the door. Where the hell is this place? Was I kidnapped? What happened when I was drunk? Hopefully no one took advantage of my state. My head pounded with every step I took. I quickly rushed out of the room and came to the living area. However, the sight I saw there caused relief to wash over me.

Dev was standing in the kitchen with a coffee mug. The panic, fear and confusion left my mind the minute I saw Dev. He was my saviour. The trust I had on Dev was beyond everything I lived for in life.

I ran towards him and asked him all the questions that flooded my mind.

"Dev, where is this place? What happened last night? Dev!!! Who brought me here...this is not your house right? What did you tell my parents? Oh my god! Did you tell them? They should be so worried....." I kept blabbering until he closed my mouth with his palms.

"Stop it! Your parents are thinking that you're at Pooja's place! Now get ready! We are leaving." he said and he walked past me.

Dev's POV

I was frustrated. Sexually frustrated!! Too frustrated that I had more than one cold shower last night. When the frustration builds up, I think I might explode on anything around me. I took a deep breath. I wanted to shout, have a tantrum and beat my hands on the ground like a toddler. I wanted to vent and let it out. But I don't want to say words that I don't mean. Words that would be hurtful to others.

It's just so easy to be cruel in that moment but when then the damage is done, it was done! So many times, I have wanted to unsay things and take it back. But it was too late.

However now, I'm learning how to deal with this emotion. Slowly Dev.

Sona's last night's conversation was still running in my head. They say that people who are drunk will speak the truth. Does that mean someone forced her to leave me? Damn! Now I wanted to know her past so badly....But I was the one who promised her that I won't ask her. Now what shall I do?

I knew that I wouldn't be able to fully move on until she confesses. Should I just go and ask her?

Maybe I should get her drunk again... Oh god no! I wouldn't be able to handle that Sonakshi anymore... but... Maybe after marriage?? Yeap that should work!

Too many things were running on my mind when I heard some noise coming out from the room. Guess she was awake.

After a while I saw her coming out of the room, fully changed in her clothes that she wore yesterday. Her face looked pale and frightened. Once she saw me, she sighed in relief. I loved the relieved look on her face as it showed me how much she trusted me. Thank god, I kept my distance from her last night and saved her trust.

She ran towards me and kept asking too many questions till I got annoyed.

"Stop it! Your parents are thinking that you're at Pooja's place! Now get ready! We are leaving" I said as I tried to walk past her but immediately she stopped me and hugged me from behind.

I stood still facing the kitchen, waiting for her to move but she just tightened her hug. I sighed and relaxed in her hold. I knew that I was getting annoyed for no reason and she deserved a few answers. I slightly rubbed my thumb over her tiny hands.

"Are you going to leave me?" I asked her softly.

"No... My head hurts... Is everything ok?" her voice came out very strained. I unhooked her hands from me and turned towards her.

"I have kept the tablets on the dressing table. Your bag is at the sofa there. Go and have it. We are getting late, Sonakshi." I said pointing towards the sofa.

"Why does it hurt this bad?"

"It's called hang over!" I stated staring at her. Her eyes widened in realization as her face became red. She hung her head low and closed her eyes trying to think hard.

"Goshh... I knew it. I am sorry Dev, I shouldn't have drank anything from Diya. Shit, I should have just waited for you. I am extremely sorry. I caused you lots of trouble..." she said with a shaky voice.

"It's okay." I said without any emotions. I knew I was acting like a spoilt brat her. But I was too tired pampering her all the time. It's high time she realized some responsibilities too. I had a hard time dealing with her demands and now it was my turn to demand.

"Wait... What's that.... A bruise near your lips?" she asked innocently.

"That's the same bruise you gave me while kissing me madly.... No wait, more like biting me last night.." I stated like the most obvious thing. I didn't fail to notice her eyes widening at my statement.

"Did I cause...... you any..... I mean.... Did I trouble you too much?" she asked with lots of hesitation as I stared at her.

"Trouble? You were a Satan last night!" I frowned and I saw her cringe.

"Was it that bad?" she stammered.

"YES!"

Once the reply left my mouth, her face paled. Her expressions changed from confused to worry. She took my hands and gave me a sorry look. Nah not gonna work!

"Now, don't waste time and leave. I don't have all day." I stated and left her behind. I needed to get these frustrations out of my system.

We immediately left that place and got inside my car. The journey was a silent one and Sonakshi looked really guilty. I wanted to hug her and tell her that everything was ok but stopped myself. I didn't want her to take things easily like all the other times. This time I wanted her to convince me in return. The journey started turning awkward until she decided to break the silence.

"What's wrong Dev.... You know, you can tell me right?" she asked.

"Are you seriously asking me that Sonakshi? Because I should be asking you all that. You know what you were doing yesterday after you were drunk? You were saying someone cheated you and stuff....and spoke something about the breakup... Ouh and ya...you were trying to take advantage of me in your drunken state!!!" as I was telling her, I felt her face paling in fear.

"Dev... I.... am really sorry.. I wasn't in my right state.."

"I will ask you one last time Sona! Do you have anything to tell me which you are still hiding?"

She clenched her fists tightly and fiddled with her fingers. I could tell that she was nervous but I still gave her my stern face.

"Yes.." she replied and my heart skipped a beat.

"Do you want to tell me?" I asked her softly. I didn't want to force her but I clearly needed to know what was bothering her.

"Yes, but not here..."she told me with pain in her eyes before she continued,

"But you need to tell me what happened yesterday... please...I don't like it when you are upset with me Dev." she pouted. Sometimes she really behaves like a small baby who is denied a candy. Now how could I still remain angry?

*End of POV*

Sona frowned as Dev smirked at her condition. She couldn't understand what was so funny about it.

"Don't worry...I remember every single thing. You chided Diya for staring at me! I am sure Diya had buried a hole for herself to hide after last night...... so much of insults. You even called her a guy! Oh, and also, you openly flirted with me last night and tried to get me to do some sinful things with you. You desperately wanted to touch me in the middle of the carpark. You have no idea how hard it was to peel you away from my body. Goodness gracious." Dev stated. Sona's cheeks flushed with deeper shade of red as her mouth was opened.

"Liar!!!" she narrowed her eyes at him while Dev burst out into laughter and rested his head against his car seat.

"Oh...I speak only the truth, Sonakshi.. If you don't trust me, you can always ask Jatin and Pooja. They were trying their best to stop your madness." he said as he continued laughing....

"Oh lord" Sona placed her palms on her forehead in distress.

"Gosh, I wish I had recorded your tantrums on my phone last night. I could have used it for my advantage in future. Shit, why didn't I do that?" Dev spoke to himself, making Sona glare at him.

"Thank god you didn't do anything stupid like that" Sona mumbled and looked down at her lap in embarrassment.

"Hmm..."

"So nothing else, right?" Sona prayed internally when she asked him.

"Oh, nothing much" Dev shrugged and controlled his smile before throwing his last bomb on her.

"You just clung onto me like your second skin and tried molesting me in the middle of the road. That's all.... Trust me, if it was anyone else, you wouldn't be walking straight today." Dev bit his lip and grinned at Sona who looked at him with horror-stricken face, like she had been struck with lightning.

"What? I-didn't do anything....I don't trust you..."

"Oh, and not to forget...I want to kiss you.... Touch me..... let's do something inside your car... let's go somewhere alone....and" he smirked before continuing,

"Why don't you do anything to me?" he tried to mimic Sona's words she spoke last night. Sona's eyes enlarged in anger.

"Oh my god!!! You are lying Dev! I will never say these words to anyone. Drunk or not, I will never do such activities. I don't believe this story you are building. This is all your sick pranks." Sona shrieked covering her cheeks and eyes. "Liar... Liar" she muttered to herself.

"Fine...I am sure Jatin can make you believe.... He was watching your undying love that you had for me publicly!" Dev shrugged.

"Oh God!!!!" Sona covered her face with her shawl and buried her face in her hands.

"You were all over me... Trying to take advantage of my poor soul! Thank god, I stayed in control. Honestly, I should be given an award. You know how hard it was for me to control myself from taking you against the car... You were practically seducing me into having sex with yo- " before he could continue, she used her palms to cover his mouth.

"Goddd pleaseee!! STOP! JUST STOP....I don't want to know anything!" Sonakshi screamed as Dev giggled and kissed her palms lovingly. He knew Sonakshi couldn't bear any crude talks and he was just using it to tease her again and again.

During the entire journey Dev narrated the entire story of whatever happened in the house and Sonakshi was too embarrassed to even look at Dev after that. She couldn't believe that she went out of control just like that. She just kept mumbling a sorry to him while he smiled and assured her that it was ok. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Sona reached her house.

"I am really sorry Dev...I will message you later. Thanks for taking care of me. I love you!" Sona said as she got down and proceeded towards her house.

"Heyyy... Is this all I get for tolerating all your seductions yesterday? After all, you know how much of control that needed?? You ended up making me extremely sexually frustrated!! I at least deserve a morning kiss!" Dev demanded as Sona glared at him.

"Dev! Stop it... I don't want to hear another word from you." Sona said as slapped his arms and rushed out of the car.

Dev chuckled as he couldn't believe whether this Sonakshi was the same one he saw yesterday night. Dev saw her retreating figure as he feared not knowing what the future held for them and where her truth might do to change their life.

Whatever it was, he was ready for it.
