Once the dance was over, everyone went to their respective place and, it was TEAM B turn to take the lead. It was midnight and, only two of the papers in each, basket, was left.
Avni picks out the second last slip and a mysterious smile broke on her face. She lifts her head and spoke" Vihaan and" taking a glance at Shana, continued" Shanaya".
Shanaya did not know what happened next, except, she could feel Vansh and Saaransh concerned eyes on her. None of them has told anyone about the incident of Vihaan and Shanaya, and making it appear normal was surely going to be hard.
Shanaya realized the gravity of the situation in the next two minutes, when her heart did not seems to belong to her, beating furiously when she walked toward Vihaan.
Standing close to Shanaya, Vihaan did not glance at her, instead, kept his gaze at nowhere particular in front of him. He had no idea God was going to play with him at that moment.
Appearing to be normal in front of Avni and others when only he knew the turmoil going inside his body, was a big task.. Taking a deep breath, he turned his attention to Shanaya and, their eyes met.
Withdrawing immediately as if they have sensed some sort of electricity, Vihaan moved toward Avni to know the title of the movie and looked back at Avni with an expression no one understood when he heard the title.
Moving back to stand at the back of Shanaya, he closed his hands in a fist to control the urge of showering kisses on her creamy back when he saw her removing her hair from her back to allow him to write on it. He had imagined how it would feel to touch her, but touching her in front of so many audiences was not something he had wished.
He got out of his ŀustful thoughts when he heard Avni telling him to start and, his mind screamed"Oh God! how soft!" when he felt his right-hand knuckles ċȧrėssing her back, instead of writing on it.
Shanaya jerked forward with a shock and controlled herself from mȯȧning the moment her body acknowledged his touch. "Do not be a fool, Shana!" Are you going to mȯȧn in front of so many people at the mere touch of his!?" shouting at herself in her mind, Shanaya scanned the room for accusing eyes on her, but, to her relief found no one.
Vihaan could swear he felt Shana reacting on his touch, and he was not going to miss the golden opportunity. He wanted to touch her, ċȧrėss her, love her and claim her skin, but he knew he has to wait. He would wait, but, also he would not miss it.
Shanaya tried to understand what Vihaan was writing on her back, but all she could understand was his knuckles ċȧrėssing her back. She looked in front of her and saw her team waiting for her answer, and she closed her eyes in embarrassment.
"God! I am here for a task! He is just doing his work. What's wrong with me!" speaking to herself, she collects herself and focuses on Vihaan's movement. Before she could understand more than "I", he stopped.
She looked at eager Vansh, Keshav and other members of the team to hear her answer, but she shakes her head in a No. "I need to think" muttering to them with a little bit of embarrassment, Shanaya looked down.
"Vihaan, do it again" Avni had just ended her sentence when she heard Shanaya exclaiming" No!"
The thought of his hand on her again was more frightening than being eaten by a lion. She spoke up in her justification" I will think about it, give me a minute."
Shanaya had no idea what was written on her skin!
She dare not ask Vihaan to do it again, but when a minute passed and, she did not speak, she heard Avni" Vihaan, do it the second time. But do it slowly, you must have written in a hurry."
"I have never written anything slower than it" speaking in his mind, controlling his chuckle, Vihaan spoke," I will try".
Before Shanaya felt his hand, she spoke to herself" Shana baby, it's just a game. Focus on his movement, that's all. You need to win, so focus".
She was ready for his touch the second time, and, she actually paid attention to his hand's movement. But to her dismay, before she could make out more than " I' and 'You", she find his hand's movement coming to an end.
"Oh, no, no, no, not this time! She can not afford his touch for the third time." angry at herself for not paying more attention, she, did not look at her team members. She could not believe she was going to lose just because of her lack of control on her body.
Vihaan wanted to admit his mischief of not writing the sentence properly after looking at Shanaya's angry and embarrassed expression, but he was going to be selfish. He was going to avail the opportunity of touching her back once again. Even though he had wanted to touch her tattoo, he found it out of his reach and had to remind himself to be content with the provided chance.
As soon as he wrote the missing word of the sentence on her back, he found her squealing" Wanted!".
Without waiting for anything more, he moved toward the exit gate and heard Avni telling others the title of the movie" Wanted" and smiled to himself when he remembered the words he had engraved on her skin.
He had written, " I want you".
