Chapter 10: Hot Shots!

Saniya was speaking to herself, 'what has happened to me, I am getting hallucinations it seems! I don't understand where Arjun has disappeared leaving me alone here, in this crowd, where all are dancing with their partners.'

Saniya started feeling lonely now; she had no one with her to share her feelings. She again saw a couple dancing together, right in front of the DJ. First, she suspected it could be Arjun; but she didn't step forward to go near, as she did not trust her blurred judgement in the semi-conscious state. In fact, she was so much drunk that they were not even visible clearly; still, she kept looking at them again and again, trying to figure who they were. At last, she found it out, Arjun and Pooja were dancing together. She got upset on seeing them close to each other, and her reaction made Arjun take notice of her; he offered her a dance with him.

Saniya got jealous of Pooja and started hating her when she saw her so close to Arjun. On the other hand, she was happy now that somehow she could search him out. She went to him for the dance as she didn't want to miss the golden chance of dancing with him.

On observing Saniya's temper Pooja said to Arjun: "I shall take a break now; you both have a good time meanwhile."

Saniya was speaking in her mind, 'thank you very much for leaving from here!'

Arjun said courteously, "Thanks Poo, see you soon, after some time."

Saniya asked him, "Where have you been? I was searching for you all the time; I was really so lonely without you. I missed you a lot and was getting bored without you."

Arjun said, "Really?"

"Can't you see it in my eyes?" she responded instantly.

"Oh my dear, I am really sorry, I was busy in an important meeting with Poo" he explained.

"Important meeting in the pub..? Don't lie to me.... I am going home.......... You stay busy with your Poo........." Saniya was angry again and started moving away from him, but he caught her by the hand.

He said, "hey dear I am sorry, look into my eyes I was waiting for you the very minute I got free from the meeting"

Saniya couldn't move away from Arjun now and was speechless. She started looking into his eyes; she was getting attracted to him. He pulled her towards him and made her dance with him on the tunes of a beautiful song from Bollywood.

They danced as if the song was composed for them only. Since Saniya was getting drawn to him, so Arjun kept his hand upon her shoulder to balance her and this made it more comfortable for her to dance with him while staying so close.

They both looked into each other eyes and were dancing joyfully with a swing. Saniya was enjoying these moments of closeness with Arjun and she had never been that close to any other guy before!

Arjun was the first guy who had touched her; it was an unforgettable moment for Saniya to be dancing close with the guy she had gone crazy about!

Time was now running out and the DJ's were about to stop too. Since it was Arjun's own pub, so he knew about the beat which would be played at the end by the DJ and on that last beat Arjun suddenly lifted the dancing doll up in his arms!

Saniya was surprised and in fact, she got even more excited! She said blushing, "Arjun put me down now, the song is almost over and everyone is looking at us, I am feeling shy. Everyone is watching us, please... You can lift me some other time...."

"Ok my dear, as you say" and to surprise her even more, Arjun went on to say in the presence of so many people, "I love you, my dear..."

He then gave her a nice hug, making her feel so special before everyone. This made her go numb and speechless, she couldn't believe it all, and she felt as if she was fairy tale princess!

Arjun then escorted her with such mannerisms as one would exhibit to one's wife. She was holding his hand tightly as they moved out of the pub.

Saniya then said blushing, "I never knew you have such feelings for me and you suddenly declared it openly before everyone..."

Arjun looked blank and he asked, "What? I didn't get you, what you are talking about?

"...about whatever you said in the pub, a few minutes ago" she was reminding him.

Arjun was still very blank and said, "Dear, I am really not getting you..."

Saniya tried to be precise now, "I am talking about those three beautiful words which you said to me 'I love........."
