One Night Stand

And then she met him.

He came towards her through the crowd. He was looking straight into her eyes. She was silent. She felt her heart beat slip, but she chose to sink it in. She chose to ignore that strong voice asking for her name. She knew that this was just another impending disaster. She was still gathering her courage. Men in her life knew that she was a walking landmine. She had exploded real bad in the past and she could yet again, anytime soon. But this man, in front of her had something about him which made her go weak in her knees. She put on her mask. She prepared her disguise and said, “Katrina, I’m Katrina”. He smiled at her and said “of course you are, you have blown my mind away and I’m sure that you will take away this little heart and soul of mine soon too. You are my sweet disaster.” She was charmed. This guy knew how to play around with words. She had to keep her mind strong. She could not let anyone hurt her again. She politely but with a strong voice asked him, “what is it that you are looking for.”  He said “I have found everything that I’m looking for but I don’t know that what I was looking for wants to be with me or not”. She trembled, she knew it was coming towards her, fast and furious. She said “I have nothing to give you. I’m sorry.” He said, “Then let me give you something, my extended friendship.” She was losing her mind, he was attractive. She controlled herself and said, “I don’t talk to strangers, I have enough friends, and yourself, sir, don’t look lonely so I’m sure you will excuse me for not accepting your friendship. I have to go now.” She was going to walk past him when he grabbed her hand inappropriately and said, “No offense but I’m not a creep. I like you, the moment I saw you, I knew I can’t miss out on her, I need to try. If you think I’m crossing my line, let me know and this will be the last time I talk to you. I had to stop you else you wouldn’t listen to me”, and then he gently left her hand. She was in a shock and a sweet surprise. She saw that honesty in his eyes. That sudden attraction for him clouded her mind and she said “I live 15 minutes from here.” He couldn’t hold in his happiness, after all he had been watching her for weeks. He said “Give me the pleasure to drop you home, and those 15 precious minutes of your life.” She nodded and said “be here at 7pm.” He smiled at her and left. She wanted to forget about it all and not be there at the decided time, but she gave out on emotions again. Yes, once again. The same emotions which had let her down numerous times in her life, but she was addicted and would keep going back to those same emotions. The time seemed to have taken a break. She waited eagerly. He was getting ready. He put on his best shirt, a cologne that would make women throw themselves at him. He had intentions, she was unaware of.

The clock struck its 7. He came. It was quieter this time. People had left to go back to their nests. Though the surrounding was peaceful there was an explosion of emotions inside her. She poised herself and looked at him with her striking smile, and said “here is my address, let’s get your GPS to guide us home”. He lost a little confidence when she got straight to the point. But he still wanted to play it cool and said, “aay aay captain, let’s get moving.” 

They got into his car, and his ride was Big. She was impressed and that’s what he wanted to do. She sat beside him and put her seatbelt on. It was then she realized she could breathe something irresistible. It was him and that cologne was working its way through. She adjusted herself and they drove. He looked at her and said, so tell me “How do you manage?” She looked confused and asked, “What do I manage” and he smiled and said “your beauty, your charm, your magic.”  He made her laugh, she was flattered. She was naïve. She had a soft heart, which could melt at the tiniest bit of emotions. He knew his trick well, and the game was on. She said with a blush, “Well, I think I was born with some perks and I just take good care of what I have”. He knew he was getting hard in her head. He got his game up and made sure those 15 minutes were enough to get her to take out for the next date. By the end of it, he succeeded. She did not get down the car. And he already had his second date by the end of the first. Impressive for a guy isn’t it, but he was that good. He had some real good experience and she was the result of a lot of bad experiences and boom, jackpot for him. He said “So what's next, do you like coffee?”  She was onto something else and said “I do, but I need some beer right now, how about that.”  He did not expect this. He was getting judgmental. His mind was playing tricks on him now. He was in a shock. But he needed to get back on track and said “sure, let me take you to a bar then and I can pick you up from the bar with my best possible pick up line. It would be fun to get this hot damsel from the bar”. She knew he was a big flirt, but she was up for the game, she knew he was hard to resist. She knew it was a catastrophe, but she didn't care enough. She was already broken and dint has much left to save. She took a deep dive in that fire. The wheels turned to their next destination and the ride was set to get dirty.

Wilderness, they reached. Yes, that was the name of the Bar, she had picked it up. She had her adventure bag packed and set to explore. They entered the bar, and the heads turned. He wasn’t lying when he said this hot damsel. She was one. She had those sparkling eyes, she smiled with her heart, her hair long enough to reach and kiss her waist and her bosom was perfectly synced with her striking red dress. It gave a hint of her bosom, but still covered most of it. It was like teasing people for the things they can’t get. She knew she had gotten into his head too. They chose to sit in a corner. She needed a quiet place and he needed his open field. He was prepared to play his next stroke. He pulled the chair for her and they settled in. Food and beer was on the table, and candle lit in just the right amount. It was getting warm and cozy. She feared this could lead to some terribly beautiful moment. He knew he was getting close to his objective, his object was already hypnotized by his charm. They rose their toast of the night and beer was poured more than water.  She knew it was hitting her and he knew he was in control of his senses. The beer wasn’t a hard core drink for him after all. They talked, they laughed. He made sure that she was enticed by his aura. He knew how to play his cards well. She was getting prettier with every smile she threw at him and she was very well aware it was working. The night was getting darker and the fire within them brighter. Wilderness indeed stood up to its name. He offered her to help her walk back to the car, but she said she was okay. He knew she had lost control, but he let her take the lead. She was pleased. Her womanhood wasn’t challenged this time. He made sure he walked right behind her. She juggled her way to the car tripping million times before they reached but she said she was okay and he made sure that she was. He opened the door and buckled her seat up. He got ready to drive when she said stop. He did not. He kept driving until they reached a quieter place. He knew there was going to be drama, she was drunk after all. She was singing, she let the windows blow in the cold air, she cared less about anything beyond him and her. She was in the moment and he was losing his. She looked straight into his eyes, they looked sad. But it seemed like she knew how to control what they wanted to speak. He looked back at her. He couldn’t resist her lips, they were pink and soft. May be it was her lipstick. He leaned forward to kiss her. She was shivering, not because she was afraid, but because the window was open and the cold air made it hard for her to stay warm anymore. He didn't realize that and moved back, he thought he was forcing something that she dint want. She knew it was time to drop her disguise and that’s what she did. She got up from her seat and settled in his lap. It was a tight place for two people. The steering wheel had no space to steer anymore, his personal belongings were little uncomfortable with her sitting on him. He couldn’t say it though, because he wanted her to take control. She leaned towards him, her bosom pressing tight against his well-built chest. She grabbed his face in her palms gently, pulled him closer and kissed. They lip locked as if they wanted to lose the key to this lock. It was passionate and wild. The wild fire had spread throughout their bodies by now. She could feel his sweat and he could hear her throbbing heartbeat. He put one of his hands on her waist and hold her tight while the other gradually moved to a more sensual part of her body. She felt that tight grab and kissed him harder. He was able to slip her dress from the shoulders by now. She didn't realize before she was half naked. She dint mind. He carried her to the back seat. Things were going to take a turn. It was going to be a long and tiring night. He holds her tight in her arms and whispered in her ears, “I want you to remember this night, are you sure you are going to be in your senses for this?” She was high on her hormones by now and she said “I lost my Senses when I saw you for the first time”.  They both smiled at each other and they knew that nature had played its part. The resistance was gone. They were two bodies one soul that night. But what he dint know was his impending disaster and what she dint know was her unfortunate fate. She woke up before the first ray in the sky and decided to get back to her real world. She thought it was a one night stand for him and thus she left. He was woken up by the sun kissed morning. She was long gone. But what she dint know was that she had got this player down. He had lost this game to his heart. He was in love and she would never know, coz she left before he could say anything. She keeps her story in her heart about that One Night Stand because she knew he would too and someday when they meet on some cross roads, she would tell him that, “that one night stand was her love at first sight.”
