Next morning..

I wake up hearing the roaring sounds of the wind and find myself on my bed..
"Wasn't I asleep in the car itself??
Then how come I landed on my bed.." I scratch my head in confusion..
And then I remember about Randhir.. and the way he handled a sleeping me last night..
He is so fucking caring..!!
The thought of him carrying me makes me light headed..
I hide my face in my palms blushing profusely..
"Ahh..!!" suddenly where is a loud sound of thunder and I jump from the bed screaming..
I keep my palm on my chest in order to calm my fasten heartbeat..
"Calm down, Sanyukta..
It's just a thunder.." I mumble to myself and the next second there is knock on the door..
"Sanyukta...!!
Are you fine??
Open the door..!!
Sanyukta.. Can you hear me??
Sany.." Oh..!! that's Randhir.. This guy is always concerned for me..
I sigh..
And before the poor door gets broken by his bangs I open it..
"Hey.. You fine??"
"Yup.. I just got startled hearing the thunder suddenly..
"Oh..!!" he sighs.. It seems like he was holding his breath till now..
"Hmm.. It's ten..
Did you have your breakfast??" I ask as my eyes fall on the wall clock..
"No.. I'm waiting for you.."
"Oh sorry..!! sorry..!!
I didn't realize that I was sleeping till this late..
You must be starving..
Give me fifteen minutes.. I'll be right back.." I rush to my closet to get my clothes when I hear him laughing..
"Oh Sanyukta..!! You always freak out about small matters..
Chill..!! It's fine.. It's not that late..
Take your time.. There's no hurry.."
I grin at him.. "Thank you..!!"
"Should I stay here??
Umm I mean if you get frightened by the thunder storm again then you'll find me with you.." he speaks tentatively..
"Yup.. Please.. Stay here..
I'm not afraid of them.. But sometimes I do get startled by them.." and I step into the loo chanting 'He is so sweet.. Oh my God he is so sweet' in my heart..

"I'm bored..
I'm.. Bored..." I say nearing him like a snail..
Trust me.. I really go near him like a snail..
And I'm doing and chanting the same from last half an hour..
We are sitting on the wooden floor of the hall and in front of the fireplace...
There's no electricity.. These wax candles are our only life support right now.. And I'm bored..
Randhir is sitting quietly...
And I'm rolling here and there like pig does on the mud..!!
"Sanyukta.. What are you doing exactly.."
"I'm bored.."
"Yeah..!! I know that.. You're saying the same thing again and again.. and again..
But tell me what are you doing on the floor.." he chuckles..
"I'm a pig.. Pink cute good looking pig...
And I'm playing in mud.." I say in a bored tone..
"Oh..!! No..!!
You aren't a pig.. You're a cat..
Even last night you were snuggling me like a kitten.."
And that's it.. My blood rushs to my cheek and I'm feeling extremely shy..
"You know you are incredibly cute..
I'm feeling so helpless right now that I can't do anything to cheer up this cuteness factory.." he say with a sad pout..
"Please someone tell this guy to stop all this..
Else I'll surely fall for him.." I scream in mind..
"He is a sweetheart.. A true sweetheart.." my heart mumbles..
'True..!!' and an idea pops up in my head..
"Randhir..!!
I've a perfect solution for our boredom..
Let's play truth & dare.." I exclaim sitting straight in front of him crossing my legs..
And he readily agrees..

"OK..!! Since only we two are playing, no need to get a bottle..
We'll play alternatively.. OK..??"
"OK..!!" he nods his head..
"OK.. Then..!!
Let's start.. I'll ask the question or give the dare first.." I smirk..
"And why so??" he ups his eyebrow..
"Cause ladies first.." my smirk gets bigger..
"OK.. Go ahead.." he rolls his eyes..
"OK..!! Truth or dare??"
"Dare.."
"Umm..!! Ahh..!!
Yes..!!  Mimic the reaction of OMG type girls when they notice this kinda weather.." I grin..
"What.." I guess he gets a shock hearing the dare... I'm mentally laughing hard..
"What what?? It's your dare.. Complete it.." I say suppressing my laughter..
"OK.." He sighs..
"OMG..!! OMG!!
It's raining so heavily outside..
And this lightning and thunder..
I'm so scared..!!
Oh God..!! Please save me.." he literally mimickes those cake face bimbos so nicely... Even he tried to make their voice..
It's so funny..
No.. I can't hold myself any longer..
And I burst in fits of laughter..
"Oh God..!! That was hilarious, Randhir.."
I'm rolling on the floor clutching my stomach..
"Yeah..!! OK.. Enough now.. Stop laughing.." he's making faces..
But the truth is even if I try I can't drop laughing.. A few seconds later he too joins me and we're laughing together now..

It takes us time.. But finally we successfully compose ourselves..
I've tears in my eyes and my stomach is aching due to my continuous laughter..
But it was so awesome..
"OK..!! Now my turn.." says Randhir..
"Hmm.. I'm ready.." I get attentive..
"So.. Truth or dare.."
"Dare.." I say with full attitude..
But instead of giving me any dare he gets up and goes to the kitchen making me confused..
Within a minute he returns with a bowl in his hand..
He sits back in front of me and places the bowl between us..
"Ice-cream??"
"Actually it's your dare..
You have to finish this bowl without using your hands.." he smirks..
OK.. That's not something easy..
But it isn't impossible either..
I'll do it..
"OK.. No problem.. I can do that.."
And guess what.. I did it..
Yayyy..!!
I finish the whole bowl of ice cream only by licking..
"See.. I've completed my dare..
I've ate it without using my hands.." I grin..
"Yeah..!! I can see that.. You ate as well as your whole face.." he chuckles..
Well.. Not surprised..!!
I was expecting that the ice cream would smudge on me face..
And now I'm trying to lick it off..
"God..!! You are literally a kitten.." he shakes his head and comes near me..
...and
Wipes my face carefully with his hanky..
His handsome face is looking looking more handsome in this candle light..
He has a sharp jawline..
And his lips..
"Done.." before my thoughts can go any further he announces and distances himself..
I exhale deeply and shrug my not so innocent thoughts..
"OK.. So.. Tru.."
"Dare.." he chips cutting me off in between..
"Strip.."
As soon as this word comes outta my mouth his eyes literally pop out of it's socket..
"What??" he has a horrific expression on his face..
And I can't help laughing seeing his expression..
"Your face is worth watching, Randhir..
Chill..!! I was kidding..
Please don't die out of a coronary.." I patted his cold muscular arms laughing..
"Huh.. Crazy woman.. You scared me.." he twists his lips..
"Aww... But your dare is kinda similar..
You have show me your sexy abs.." I wink..

"I'm not gonna do this.."
"You have to.."
"No.."
"Yes.."
"No.."
"Yes.."
"No.."
"Yes.."
"Fine.."
And in blink of my eyes he takes off his tee..
Holy cow..!! He is not less than a Greek God..
"Oh Mr. Sexy.. You've arose my desires..
And now I can't control myself.." I say dramatically yanking him close holding his forearm..
"Ee..!! Pervert..!!
Control yourself madam.." he pinches my nose and puts on his tee back..
"But.. Honestly..
You're extremely hot..
Join some striping club.. You'll become a billionaire over night.."
"Well..!! Thank you.." he says shyly..
"Now.. Tell.. Truth or dare..??" he asks..
"Umm.. Truth.."
"Did you ever fall in love with anyone??"
"I don't.. know.." I answer honestly..
"Huh??" as expected.. he gets confused..
"I actually don't know, Randhir..
I can't remember certain things..
May be I love someone.. May be not..
I really don't know..
But I always have a feeling that a part of my soul is missing.. I'm not completely complete.." I smile sadly..
He keeps looking at me for a couple of seconds and then sighs..
"OK.. Your turn..
I'm choosing dare.." he says smiling a little..
"Again dare...!! No..!!
Choose truth.." I whine..
"But..!! It's my choi.." he stops as I cross my arms in front of my chest making a stern face..
"You are so bossy..
OK fine..!! Truth.." he twists his lips..
"I'm not bossy.. I'm manipulative.." I grin and he shakes his head in disbelief..
"OK..!! Now you tell me did you ever fall in love with anyone??" I return him his question..
"Yes..!!" he nods slowly..
"And why the hell I feel I sharp pain in me.." my heart shouts..
But I choose to keep mum as I myself feel bad hearing his answer and I'm not in a mood to answer anyone else..
"Really.. Wow.. That's great..
Tell me your love story.." I guess I successfully hide my gloominess by my fake smile..
"One question at a time..
And I've already answered one question..
You can't ask me another one..
And I.. umm.. really don't wanna talk about it.. " he states the fact and I don't argue with him this time as I've some other plan in my mind..
"My turn.." he reminds me..
"Hmm..!! Truth.." I say disinterestedly..
"Are you afraid of ghosts??"
"Yep..!! I am..!!
They are not good.. They eat us..
Let's not talk about them.." I say looking here and there and shift closer to him..
He has a different type of wry smile on his face..
Some weird kinda smile..
"What??"
"Umm.. Nothing..
Your turn.."
"Truth or dare??"
"Dare.."
Gotcha..!! Now you are so trapped in my plan, Randhir..
"Narrate your love story.."
