I decided to come back to writing. Probably it seems like my *big* writer’s block is off the road. But most of the friends from the blogger world.. at least the ones I call friends, are off the roads them selves. I mean, i just had a look at it today.. the list of links I have in my sidebar, I looked up each blog.. and surprisingly, apart from Saurabh and Reshma, everyone is off the hook of blog, for one or other reason.

Sometimes, I wanna know what made them stop? sometimes I wish they start again, I had always loved reading them, heck, thats why they are on my list.

sighs, we don’t get all answers, do we?

atleast I am glad for Reshma and Saurabh.

Ekta.

[Before reading this one.. better read the earlier chapters in this fiction. Chapter 1 , Chapter 2 and Chapter 3… thanks.]

I was amazed at how I could hear the loud beating rock music from the club, pouring outside from corners of doors, and along with that I could still hear his heartbeats and restrained breathes from underneath me.

I could see he was getting a bit uncomfortable, probably wondering what was I thinking, What devilish plans I had in my mind after I had him in hand cuffs!

He was absolutely right, I had a devilish plan in my head. That I was going to make real. I moved closer onto him, looking into his eyes, he smiled nervously, not able to look away from my intense gaze.

After pretty long few seconds, I spoke first, ” .. are you scared? ”

“kind of…” his reply was more like an effect of exhaling a deep breath then spoken words.

It was me who smiled broad next, ” Good. Now, we’re going to play a little game.”

He looked at me, with a single slightly raised eyebrow, as if asking in silence, are we not in a game already?

I ignored his subtle signs, and continued, ” The game is like this, I have three questions for you. out of them, if you get just two answers right, you win the game. and If you win the game, you get one wish that you could ask me for. But…”

I stopped speaking, preparing him for the condition I was going to put him in just after giving him a hope of ‘wishing’. He waited intently, much nervous yet concentrated on my every word.

“.. but if you lose. I’ll punish you. Discipline you. Physically. ”

He replied in a bated breath, ” Okay. I’m ready.”

“here goes…” I got a bit more comfortable, lying besides him. I was glad for the big car I had, which had pretty big space in back seat to have us both lying there without feeling like being stuffed in a box.

“First Question… What’s my name?”, I asked, Looking at him.

He looked back at me, with a surprise. Darn. He was probably thinking that this wasn’t the kind of question I would expect him to reply correctly.

I knew I had him at this one. I had suddenly made him realize that he didn’t even know my name. And there he was, totally helpless, handcuffed inside a big strange car. And he had no where else to go.

He had closed his eyes and he moved his head from one side to another, indicating he didn’t know that answer.

I continued, ” Unfair, I know. okay, I’m Aditi. Lets move on to second question… Whats my age?”

He opened his eyes this time. It seemed like a pretty simple question this time. He could guess it. he looked at me, trying to figure how old exactly I was.

I smiled, more naughty then devilish, “Come on. make a guess.”

He smiled a bit, saying, ” ermm.. 23?”

“Bingo. One right, One wrong. So this last question decides who wins.”

He nodded slight. looking up at the car ceiling with slight smile. Presuming half heartedly that I was anyways gonna ask a totally strange question like first one, and win this game.

I went ahead, “Okay then. Tell me, what animal pulls Santa Clause’s sleigh?”

Silence for a while, from him. Trying to judge what was my motive behind this silly question. And then he suddenly remembered something I had said sometime back. About the word I had asked him to use to make me stop.

After pretty long silence, he smiled relaxed. he had realized I had given him more than enough fair chance to win this one, but it would also mean the whole thing would end entirely.

Looking straight at me he said, ” You’re one hell of a tease Aditi.”

I replied with a devilish laughter this time, ” You’ve not seen anything yet my dear. Go ahead. answer me.”

He pretended to think hard, as if he didn’t know the answer before saying.

“ahem… Zebra… is it?”

Being the smart ass as he was, I knew this meant that he wanted me to win. He desired what pain and pleasures I could possibly offer him.

Desire.
