Lifting her head, Shanaya looked directly at Vihaan but to no avail.
Vihaan was ignoring Shanaya.
The more, he was ignoring more was the tension erupting in Shanaya's mind and, heart.
"Ahh, this" she saw Vihaan speaking while roaming his hand on his neck, as if, tracing the red marks, again.
The gesture was more than enough for Shanaya, to remember everything and, she cursed deep inside.She wanted the touch, the feeling, the sensation, everything she had with Vihaan.
And she knew blaming God for the situation would not make her guilty.
All she had ever asked was a man who was far away from drinking, smoking and domestic violence. Vihaan might not be the last two, but the first one was enough for Shanaya to control the rein of her needs, dėsɨrės and wishes..
"What? You are going to keep it a secret?" the chain of her thoughts was disturbed when he heard Saaransh voice and, she realized Vihaan had not answered, yet.
"Do not tell me it was some random girl!" with his brows and tone in confusion, Vansh spoke.
"Oh no no, it was not random. The girl who kissed me had a history with me." finally glancing at Shanaya, Vihaan spoke.
Shanaya could swear the mere glancing took her breath. It had not been, twenty-four hours and, she was already missing his eyes on her.
"Had? What you mean by 'you had a history with her'?" it was Saaransh turn to sound surprised.
"Saaransh! could not you ignored it?" Shanaya wanted to voice out these words, but she knew the better.
Vihaan took a minute, but when he spoke, his voice was not in his calm tone. He was angry.Vihaan could not care more about Saaransh or Vansh.
All he noticed was his red eyes fixed on Shanaya and, the angry tone of his words" This mysterious girl drunk kissed me or, we can say, we both make out, crazily."
He stopped in between and giving a final 'unsaid' look to Shanaya, he withdraws his gaze and, focused them on Saaransh.
But, he knew the effects of his words on Shanaya.
He knew behind the controlled posture of her was the shaking Shanaya.
He knew he was correct when he had let her go the previous night. He knew, he had guessed correctly, when he had thought, she was pretending and, the realization made him angrier.
"And you know what happened next!" shifting his attention on Saaransh and Vansh who were listening carefully, Vihaan ended the sentence" she pretended not to know anything!."
"Oh fuċk man!" before Saaransh could stop cursing in front of Shanaya, the words slip out and, he turned immediately toward Shanaya to apologize.
Shanaya had never thought there would come a day when his friends would be listening to her deeds or she would be sitting listening to her friends bitching her in front of her.
Not like everyone knew the girl was her, but, still, she felt the accusation in Vihaan and Saaransh's voice.
Sitting there, listening to the entire things, she felt, the situation was not as simple as she had ȧssumed.
"So, " clearing his throat, Saaransh moved a little more toward Vihaan and glancing a hesitated look at Shanaya, he spoke, " how was it?"
Shanaya could not believe her ears but, more than the Saaransh's question, the laughter from Vansh that filled the room was unbelievable.
"Welcome to men's world, Shana." still laughing, Vansh spoke to Shanaya whose face had turned red.
"It''s not a big deal, Vansh" speaking to Vansh but looking at Shanaya, Vihaan continued " We have discussed 'sex' with her, talking about a kiss is normal, I guess."
Shanaya knew it was better to remain silent.
Noticing Vihaan, she knew he was angry over something and messing him was not a good option. Besides, she accepted Vihaan was correct.
"Yes, he would have been correct if he would have been talking about some other girl with your friends, not about you!" coming to her rescue, her mind spoke.
Shanaya's felt her heart rate increasing with the passage of the time and found to be watching Vihaan with full intent.
She was curious to know how he had felt about their kiss.
"Yes, as if it would boost your self-confidence, isn't it! It's such an important thing in your life!" her mind turns to the sarcastic guy immediately.
But her heart won and, she found her ear all ready to listen to Vihaan.
Vihaan had never dreamed he would be talking about the kiss in front of Shanaya. But, he wanted her to know the kiss was not a mistake.
He was not okay with her pretence. He was going to tell her what happened between them if she was not ready to dwell it.
He wanted the thought of them to be the only thing in her mind. He wanted her to think about them, just like he was thinking.
God! he wanted him to be the only thing in her mind, heart and the world.
"It was amazing. The girl seemed pro in kissing." overstating, Vihaan spoke casually but, with great interest.
He was not going to tell anything else. Not to Vansh and Saaransh but, to Shanaya, he knew the time would come soon.
"Excuse me!" before Shanaya knows, the word slips out and, she felt the three set of eyes on her.
She had thought she would be okay listening, but, listening to Vihaan describing the kiss as if, he was living it again made her all jelly.
Vihaan chuckled, when he heard Shanaya and, he knew he was successful in his mission. He wanted her to be curious and, it was not he had lied a lot.
He had found, Shanaya to be amazing, he might have been drunk but, every sense of his was alive. He remembered the birthday night as clearly as looking at her at the moment.
"Excuse me. I should go." Shanaya stood up swiftly while changing the content of her words, and, without looking at Vihaan or the other two, she exited the room at vampire speed.
