"-Uh no, I am not gonna touch this thing."

"Fine, I-"

"Shut up!" I groaned and nuzzled deeper into the sandalwood perfumed pillow, only to be jerked away. Making an irritating sound in back of my throat, I fluttered my eyes open. Sudden brightness made me wince and squint my eyes. When I finally opened my eyes, I was however greeted by furious brown eyes glaring at me and an amused airhostess with pursed lips.

"What?" I mumbled looking between two of them. The airhostess gave up and laughed. My eyebrows knitted in confusion and I looked at the brunette for any prompt but she only shrugged in amusement and smirked.

Airhostess addressed me again, at least she didn't flirt.

"Nothing. It's just that you both are so adorable!"

The girl made gagging sound and glared at me. I never knew that playful side of me existed until now. Without a second thought, I caged her in a hug and nuzzled my face in her hair. For the first time in my life, I felt a sudden jolt of security and ecstasy.

She squirmed but I tightened my hold and chuckled at her protests when an Asian pair from side aisle cooed with airhostess. I could feel her neck boiling against my cheek and this made me smirk.

With one shove, she pushed me away and gave me a death glare. I threw my hands up in surrender but when she narrowed her eyes, I ruffled her hair.

"Let me give you guys some priva-"

"Hell, no!" "Yes, please!" same time, different emotion.

Incredulity v/s amusement

Airhostess chuckled and left nonetheless. The announcement of flight landing on Amsterdam's airport echoed in air and a part of me felt deflated. I was having a decent time after so long.

"You are so gonna pay for this, once you step out." she narrowed her eyes at me as I rolled mine and smirked.

"What you gonna do? Return my hug, eh?"

She scrunched her nose, adorably to feign disgust.

"I will pass."

"You sure? Most of the humans with a pair of X chromosomes will jump on my bones if I offer a hug." I retorted cockily, my nerdy side coming out.

"God, the level of modesty in a single sentence is overwhelming."

"Sarcastic much?"

"Narcissist much?" I shook my head and chuckled.

"You are adorable when you get riled up." I blurted without a thought and her cheeks burned. I rubbed the back of my neck in nervousness.

"I-you-wha-shut up!" I laughed for nth time, making her groan in frustration and duck her head to curtain her cheeks with hair.

She spoke gibberish under her breath but I caught on a few words.

"Dumb- narcissist—hot-- nerd!" I bit my lip to stop embarrassing her even more and settled on my seat as flight stated to land.

Once it landed, I got up from my seat and took my suitcase out. Giving her a mock salute, I walked away.

~~~~

Everybody was giving me strange looks. Some snickered and other made funny faces. Even girls who normally flirted started cooing and laughing instead. One even tried to pinch my cheeks instead of groping me.

What the hell?

You are so gonna pay for this, once you step out. Her voice rang in my ears like a warning bell and in an instant, realization fell on me like ice cold water. I rushed to airport washroom and practically jumped to see my reflection.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you. There is one thing my parents did right, they gave me their genes. Girls practically fall like flies on my feet and even though I was never a player, I enjoyed the attention. A lot. But looking in the mirror at this instant, I could feel my cheeks getting red with embarrassment and anger as the person who stared back at me, was getting attention for very-very wrong reason.

A certain someone drew spirals on my both cheeks and an 'I am dumb' on my forehead with sharpie. I banged my fist on counter and took a deep breath to relax. Rubbing my face violently with wet tissues, I got rid of the prominent scribbles but on looking closely, you could still see them.

Note to self- make sure to say 'goodbye' before you find and kill her.

~~~~

I was fuming by the time I exited the airport. I turned my head in every direction to catch the flash of brown. I rushed toward the exit of airport. There was quite a crowd frozen around there. I pushed past people, my head darting from face to face to find her and there she was, the attraction that forced every eye to freeze on her. For a second, I forgot that I was mad and just looked at her. Like really looked at her.

She had her headphones up and was in her own little world as she danced and jammed 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head', twirling her suitcase in her hand. Her eyes were closed, oblivious to all the attention she had on her. It was as if she didn't care what everybody thought or she was too engrossed to notice. I tore my eyes away from her to observe the reactions.

Beaming.

Everyone was beaming. They were looking at her as if she was the sun who decided to warm everyone after a huge storm. Women were cooing, kids were giggling and males were whistling.

"Screw it." I heard the guy beside me mumble and approach her. He took her wrist and pulled her into his chest. Her eyes snapped open, wide as saucer when she noticed the attention. Her cheeks burned bright but noticing the smiles on everyone's face, she beamed. The guy snaked his arm on her waist, catching her attention once again. His other arm unplugged the headset, letting music flow in air. He twirled her in circle and then pulled her back. They danced for a bit but then another boy stole her and started dancing. Crowd intensified and when it was song number 3 with contestant number 6, I couldn't take it anymore.

Let me tell you readers, in my life of 18 years, the only attention I have ever enjoyed is female fan attention but right now, as my brain was on vacation to Bahamas, I jumped into the middle of it and pulled her right into me with her wrist. She stumbled into my chest and looked up to match my eye level.

Her eyes widened and she gulped.

Good.

I internally smirked.

"Ready to die?" I whispered in her ear and she shivered.

The next moment was a complete blur. Before I could even process what was happening, a huge wave of cooing and cheers shot up, along with some hopeless-heartbreak sighs.

You wonder why?

Well lets' break the suspense then.

The girl, whatever the hell her freaking first, middle and last name is, kissed me.

It took me a moment to process what was happening. It was as if I lost control over my body. My eyes fluttered close, my arm snaked her waist and other tangled in her hair but the worst- my lips started moving.

I kissed her.

Her fingers played with my hair and I swear my heart skipped a beat. It thundered suddenly. Almost as if our kiss made the sky crackle. She jumped slightly and pulled back but before I could control, I pulled her and crashed our lips again. This time she froze.

Her cheeks burned under my palm, even when rain started pouring. I was positive that crowd faded away. I almost felt her melt as she gave in and kissed me back.

I wish humans didn't need to breath or at least human lungs could store a few gallons of air as I pulled away breathlessly.

She licked her lips and locked my eyes in daze.

"Why would you kiss me?" she mumbled.

"Why would you kiss me?" I asked her to avoid answering.

Her eyes widened again and she gulped. I subconsciously felt cold seeping through my shirt at sudden lack of warmth. She was inching away.

"I-uh-you see- well- RUN!"

My eyes grew the size of Jupiter when I recalled the purpose of coming here. She noticed and dashed for her life. We both were drenched but that didn't stop her from running for her life and me from chasing her for my revenge. Our shoes squeaked as we chased each other. I finally caught her by waist and threw her on my shoulder despite her pounding my back.

"Oh sweet revenge." I laughed and she thrashed harder but it stopped. Just like earlier but for entirely different reason.

Little did I knowthat, that stupid reason will change my whole damn life!
