Chapter 6

Dev Raman was an NRI, a very suave charming guy. A look at him would tell you that he was one who had courted many, and bedded even more. He had a face, a body language, that would make any girl swoon, and he knew how to use it well too. When Deepika met him the first time, she knew this guy was the ultimate asshole she'd met. One could obviously say he was trying to flirt with her, and she kept avoiding his company as much as possible.
"Would you accompany me for dinner?"
"No, I have dance class.."

"It's break-time, let's go for a cup of coffee?"
"No, I have to talk to my parents now."

"Apparently the latest George Clooney starrer is awesome, Wanna come with me?"
"O I'm sorry, I don't watch movies."

It was around this period, when one evening, Deepika missed out on her pen-drive in the office. As she went back to collect it, she realised the power inside had been shut down, and the person who had left the place last according to the log was Dev. She called up to find if he could hand the entry pass to her to get the pen drive. He was twelve kilometers away, and she gave up. Dejected she came home and sat down.

An hour later, the front door bell rang. On opening the door, she found Dev.
"You??"
"Yes, here, take this...", said Dev handing out the pen drive.
"Oh thanks a lot, you really didn't have to do this, did you? I'm sorry.."
"I did have to do it, .... for you... "
"Sweet of you.."
"Dinner?"
Finally, the asshole had come to it, but didn't make a difference. He'd done her a favour. She would do him one by accompanying him for dinner. At dinner, she realised he had deep knowledge about so many things in the world. The NRI, was an asshole yeah, but not a fool. She found herself enticed by him, but kept warning herself. Giving herself to him was like walking blindly into an open trap. The food was done, the desserts were done, and post a couple of drinks, she hardly had any control over her desires. He was simply too irresistible. They walked up to his apartment, and he got started with her. She thought, he might have done this to a million other people, hell I'm just another one. I know I'm gonna be screwed, literally. But then he came into her, and again, and once again, and the ecstasy enveloped her. He kept saying, your beautiful, Princess, like her mom once used to say. He was all hers now, and she had discovered true love, or so she thought!!
