C6 Chapter 6 The Dares.

Izna's Perspective.

Hearing the horn of his car for the nth time, I picked my handbag and rushed outside. I spotted him sitting in his car and quickly rushed towards the car, opened the door of the left side and sat inside. He look towards me with angry expressions.Huh! Don't show me this Anger, it won't have any effect on me.

"Are you deaf or what? I'm waiting here from the last one hour, you neither came nor attended any of my call." He said curtly while I look towards him and smirked.

"I never asked you to come pick me up, I can go there by my own." I too replied curtly.

"And how will you go there? As far as I know your Dad has gone somewhere in his car and your own car is at the workshop." He said smirking at me this time. Arghh! Sometimes I just want to snatch away that smirk from his face!

"So what? I will take a cab or I'll go there by walk but I won't take any kind of favor from you." I replied and stepped out of the car. Anger was taking a toll on me!

"Suit yourself!" I heard him saying and turned to found him standing outside, keeping one of his hand on the roof of the car. He was wearing a white satin shirt with two of the upper buttons opened as usual with black denims. His hair were perfectly gelled with that Rolex watch on his wrist completed his look. Indeed, he is looking charming, but wait it's not the time to praise your fiance you idiot!

After sparing a glance at him, I started walking ahead without even caring about the time. I hugged myself as the cold wind hit my body. I was wearing a light over-sized red shirt paired with white pants.Thank God! I picked up my stole before coming outside! Thinking that I covered myself with the stole I had worn loosely above my shoulders. The light of the street pole was falling onto the stranded road and I kept walking on it with my shadow following me. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard some incoherent voices and saw a group of boys on bikes nearing me, they seemed drunk. Oh God what have I gotten myself into? Sweat beads started appearing on my temple while I increased my pace.

"Hey beautiful, where are you going all alone?Should we accompany you?" One of them said stuttering while I increased my pace more than before. God please save me!

"Go away!" I shouted back at them and started walking extremely fast, silently praying to God.

"Why are you running honey? Come I'll give you a ride." One of them caught up with my pace and held my wrist.

"Leave my hand!" I shouted and slapped his face hard.

"Wrong move bi*ch! I'm not gonna spare you." He said and hold my hand in his death grip while I struggled. Oh God please send someone! Don't bring such a phase on me again! I thought and kept struggling while his hold got tighten.

"How dare you touch her?" The boy wasn't leaving my hand when he suddenly got punched right in his face and I turned to find Rahil standing there with rage in his eyes. He started beating the shit out of them while I stood at a distance silently thanking God for saving me and for sending Rahil as my saviour. My saviour!

"You just come with me." Rahil said after beating the guys black and blue, he held my wrist in an authoritative way and dragged me with him. He made me sit inside the car, himself took the driving seat and started driving without even exchanging a word or any consolation. I don't know why, but my heart started bleeding due to his newly discovered cold behavior. I don't know why but I wanted him to say a word of affection or a little word of consolation. I closed my eyes and the past events flashed in front of my eyes making me remember the dreadful incident that happened with me. At that time Mummy saved me but she left the world before even saying a word of consolation. So I guess history is repeating itself! I thought to myself and finally the tears started streaming down my cheeks, breaking the dam of my eyelashes.

"Why are you crying now?" He stopped the car and asked looking in my direction while I felt a ball of tears and emotions stuck in my throat.

"You only said that you can manage, and I have seen how well you manage things." He said while tears ran down my cheeks.

"Did you even think of the time before stepping out of the car or did you even have any idea of what possible things would have happened to you? You are a naive girl, who take decisions emotionally, without even thinking of the consequences." He said sternly while I started crying with hiccups.

"Stop crying, It's of no use." He said while I didn't gave a heed to him and continued my favorite hobby.

"Izna, look at me. Look here." He held my arm and turned me towards him. Slowly he leaned in and gently wiped away my tears with the tip of his thumbs.

"Don't take decisions emotionally. Now just stop crying and calm yourself, we have to go, everyone is waiting for us." He said while I nodded my head in approval.

It's a week after our engagement and Reyansh kept a dinner for us at his farm house to celebrate. I came to know about it from Rahil who called me in the morning that he'll come to pick me.

"Hello.Who's there?" I asked as I answered the call while stroking colors on the canvas sheets.

"Your would be husband." The person on the other side replied while I frowned.

"You." I blurted out in utter irritation.

"Yes sweetheart, I know you were missing me." He threw a cheesy line while I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline in my body.

"Oh really, how sweet of you Mr.fiance." I said in a sweet sugarcoated tone.

"Yeah. I mean just look at the way you are behaving after me calling you sweetheart, I wonder what would be your reaction when I'll take it to the next level." He said and blood rushed in my veins, I turned red like a cherry.

"You know what, You are sounding like a cheap lowlife street thug right now." I said in anger trying to hide my embarrassment.

"Really am I? So are you enjoying it?" He said while my mouth hung low. What type of a person is he?

"Okay just leave all this, I wanted to inform you that Reyansh has arranged a dinner for us, get ready before 7 pm." He said and cut the call while I fumed in anger.

I was so angry with him that I decided to teach him a lesson by making him wait in the car for almost an hour which turned into an argument and than I committed the stupidity of stepping outside the car at such a dangerous time.

"Thanks for the lovely dinner brother Reyansh. The food was delicious." I thanked him as soon as we all stepped out of the dinning room.

"Well, it's my pleasure sister that you enjoyed." He said while I smiled.

"Let's play a game guys." Khushi suggested when we all sat in the lounge.

"Yup it's a good idea. Let's play truth and dare." Raima suggested while the others gave in.

"Hey, truth and dare is boring man let's play a different type of game." Reyansh said smirkingly.

"What type of game?" Arav inquired.

"Everyone of us will write a couple dare and we will put them in a bowl, we'll spin a bottle which decide who will have to complete his/her dare." Reyansh suggested and everyone gave in except me.

"Guys you play, I'm not so good at games." I said excusing myself.

"Izzy don't be a spoilsport." Khushi said while I was confused on my place when Rahil placed his hand on mine and I looked in his eyes which were assuring me that nothing will happen.

"Okay, I'm in." I said while the others hooted.

The game was indeed an interesting one. The first time the bottle stopped pointing at Arav and he picked out a dare confidently which said " Say something cheesy in your partner's ear." We all hooted and then Arav bhai completed his dare while Khushi turned red like a cherry. The bottle was again spun and stopped pointing Raima who boldly picked a dare and read it loudly with an evil smirk " Seduce your Partner." We girls started hooting for Raima who really managed to seduce Reyansh.

The bottle was spun for the third time and then stopped pointing at me. Oh shit! All of my confidence flew away in a second when I opened the chit.

"What's the dare sweety?" Raima asked while I looked towards her.

"Come on Izzy, tell us." Khushi said winking at me.

"A couple dance with your partner on a sensuous song." I read out the dare loudly while they hooted.

"And we'll choose the song." Reyansh said with a smirk.

"Come on get up and complete the dare." Raima said and winked.

Finally we were forced to dance, Reyansh turned off the lights leaving a spotlight creating the atmosphere. The music started while we stood in front of each other.

Rahil held my hand softly looking intently in my eyes and we started moving slowly to the rhythm.

He than pulled me with a jerk and I crashed into his chest while he placed one of his hand on my back authoritatively. I stared in his deep brown eyes which conveyed many emotions.

He held me more close to him that our faces were just inches away. Staring deeply into each other's eyes we danced slowly to the rhythm of the music.

Staring into my eyes lovingly, he made me twirl.

He kept twirling me and then pulled me with a jerk that my back collided with his front and I felt his hot minty breath on my neck.

He held me in a way as if he was hugging me from back while I closed my eyes moving to the rhythm of the music feeling content in his arms. We were so lost in our own world that we never realized that the song has ended. Our trance was broken by the continuous hooting and clapping of the audience.

"Wohoo.... I must say you two are really good dancers." Reyansh said smirking while I blushed hard.

"Let's continue the game." Rahil said to clear out the awkwardness.

The bottle was spun and stopped on Rahil, he picked a dare from the bowl, opened the chit and read it.

"Kiss your partner." He said and I was stunned.What no ways!

"Yes yes come on complete your dare." Reyansh said and winked at Rahil.

"Sure." Rahil said and leaned in while I tried to stop him from my eyes but he kept leaning in. There was a mere distance left between us, I shut my eyes with full force. I was so scared and shy but then I felt a warm touch on my for head and then I realized he kissed me on the for head. I don't know why but I felt a kind of assurance and protection. I felt content!
