Priya Pov

"What a pleasant surprise Priya!" That a**hole said and I just rolled my eyes.

"Don't do that dear" he said again and I lost my temper now.

"Don't you dare call me that Tarun!" I yelled in a low voice not wanting to create a scene in the restaurant here.

"Aww, you scolding me so softly! So cute" he said in a girl's tone and I fisted my palm.

I'm so gonna punch him if he doesn't shut up!

"So how have you been darling?" He asked me and I looked at him in disgust.

"Very good when you weren't around" I said and he placed his hand in his heart.

"Ouch! You wound me dear" he sacred dramatically.

Arghh! I'm losing my sanity.

"Shut the crap and come to the point. Why are you here?" I asked him, completely annoyed.

"Wow! Still the same feisty huh?" He smirked and how bad I wanna slap his face right now!

I just shrugged my thoughts and decided to ignore his presence completely.

"Darling, don't you want to know why am I here?" He asked while I saw his hand was trying to hold mine. I immediately took my hand away, resting it in my thigh. His face looked disappointed and I don't know why I felt it so cute!

His eyes shrunk, eyebrows contracted, lips losing its usual shape when he smirks and finally that pout! It's so cute: he's so cute!

God! Priya, what the hell are you thinking? Come back to your senses. Don't let this duffer affect your heart! My mind alerted me and I at once shook my head to clear my rubbish thoughts.

"I hate your mind" he suddenly spoke.

"What?" I didn't know when that escaped my mouth.

"Your mind is telling your heart to avoid me and I don't like it. I love your heart and I hate your mind" he said and I found myself very shocked. Did he just read me inside out?

"Yea, so where were we?" He asked me.

"I was not anywhere" I snapped back at him.

"Dear, don't be so rude to your would be husband" he said and what?

I immediately stood up from my chair with my mouth open. What did he just say?

"Have you lost your mind?" I shouted, not minding the hundreds of eyes looking at us. How dare he call himself my would be husband?

"No sweetheart. I have to have my mind active all the time to think about ideas to make you fall for me everytime. By yes, I lost my heart. You are the thief who stole it" he said, pointing at his heart with his forefinger. For a minute, I stood still to process whatever he said.

Did he just say that he lost his heart to me?

What?
When did this happen?

"I'm done with your stupidity. Waiter!" I shouted for the waiter and one of them came to me running.

"Madam, any problem?" He asked me.

"Yes, this person here, he's annoying me. Just throw him out of the hotel" I said in my cold tone, not being able to control my anger.

"Sorry madam, we can't do that" he said and what? What does he mean by he can't do that?

"What? Why?" I asked in annoyance.

"Cause if he does, he'll no more be working here" this time it was Tarun who answered me. I looked at the waiter who ran away looking frightened at him and his words.

"How can you say that?" I asked him again.

"I can babe. I can fire him if he does anything like that. I'm the owner of this hotel, so I can right?" He asked, winking at me.

My jaw dropped and I looked at him with eyes widened while all he did was smirk.

Arghh!

I took my phone and started walking out of the hotel. I lost all my appetite by just looking at his face.

I was walking back to my friends while he followed me like a lost puppy.

"Why are you following me?" I asked him, standing in the middle of the beach.

"My mom asked me to follow my heart and that's what I'm doing" he said.

Girls, this might be very cheesy and sound very common but trust me, when you hear it from someone who is looking deep into your eyes, you just lost you guard that moment.

The same thing happened with me. I looked at his round orbs which were already boring into mine. After a few seconds I realized what I'm doing. I just shook my head and turned around to walk again.

"Priya, listen to me. Why are you ignoring me?" He asked me, following me again like a lost puppy.

I didn't answer him and just kept walking.

"Priya" he held my wrist tightly. I struggled to get out of his grip, but the more I struggled the more he tightened it.

I signed and gave up. I turned to him and glared at him.

"Don't look at me like that" he said.

"Then leave me" I said.

"No never, I'll never let you go till my last breath" he said and damn those eyes which held honesty.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Simple, why are you avoiding me?" He asked me.

"I'm not avoiding you" I snapped back.

"Really? I can see that how much you are not avoiding me!" He said sarcastically. I sighed.

"Ok fine, I agree. I'm avoiding you because...umm... because... because I want to?" I tried to answer him but it came out more like a question.

"Priya, we both know what you are trying to say. So just accept it!" He said it casually.

"What?"

"That you love me!" That got me real mad.

"What?" I yelled at him.

"How can your say that? Did I ever tell you that I love you? Your were the one who was following me and now, even after I changed my course, my college and everything yet your area the one who's behind me" I shouted at him, releasing my wrist.

He smiled simply at me and that annoyed me more.

"Why are you smiling idiot?" I asked him.

His smile just widened more.

I felt like smacking his head.

"You can do that babe" he says student and I looked at him blankly.

"You can smack me, hit me, slap me, hug me, kiss me and everything you wish to do. I'm all yours" he said and his smirk grew wider.

"Idiot" I said and without my knowledge my hand went to his arm and I smacked him lightly.

He looked at hia hand where my palm touched his and he smiled widely.

Arghh! So annoying!

I turned around and walked off immediately without giving him a chance to speak.

I was listening to songs plugging in my earphones where my friends were still playing in water with the guys they met earlier. When I asked them, they said that I don't know how to enjoy my life. If this is how you enjoy life, then I don't want to enjoy my life at all. I'm fine like this.

Being single is the best feeling in the world. You don't have to care about anything and anyone. You don't have to face all those dramas and fame tears. No worries, no tensions. You can dress up the way you want to, chat with anyone at midnight, go on a random date, hit and flirt with anyone you want to, just no restrictions.

I was deeply into my songs when suddenly I felt someone shaking me by my shoulders. I opened my eyes and took off my earphones. It was the waiter from earlier.

"Madam, your order" he placed a parcel in front of me. I laughed out loud.

"Seriously? You got my food here? Anyways I'm sorry, I don't need it. I'm cancelling the order, take them back and also, I'm sorry for the last time you had to hear that jerk" I genuinely apologized to him.

His face again turned in horror and said, "madam, please don't tell me sorry. Just take this and eat it mam. I'm leaving!" He ran back from where he came and I clutched my stomach laughing at what happened. But he didn't even let me pay for the food!

I stood up, walking to the hotel when suddenly from somewhere Tarun came.

"Darling, you don't need to pay. Whatever is mine is also yours. So eat it, you were very hungry back then" he caressed my cheeks with the back of his palm.

"But wait, why will I eat this? I didn't even pay for it. Call that guy or you take the cash" I said, extending the money which I took out from my pocket.

"You gotta be kidding me Priya? I don't need anything. Just eat this, look your stomach is screaming" he said and chuckled when he literally heard my stomach growling.

God! This is so embarrassing!

"You are so adorable darling" he suddenly leaned near me and kissed my forehead and excused himself saying he has a business meeting to attend.

"I'll come as soon as possible dear. Just eat this like a good girl. It's your favourite grill sandwich with extra cheese and green chutney. Take care and I love you. Miss me sweetheart" he walked away and I stood there in utter shock.

What just happened?

Why do I feel happy when he cares for me?
Why did I let him kiss me?
Why do I feel happy to see him chasing me behind?

Why?
