13 chapter 13

The life outside the window was moving away from him and he was moving ahead"he liked the feeling and enjoyed it to the core. He loved the unfamiliar surroundings as his car swept across the empty Delhi streets. Amidst all the unfamiliarity, he suddenly spotted a familiar splash of orange at the passing by bus-stop and his car came to a sudden halt as his legs inevitably hit the brakes.

Her eyes followed the familiar Sea-blue beauty pass by and her heart bounced with joy when it came to a sudden halt, just ahead the bus-stop she was standing in. She threw one challenging look back at the dark aloof roof-top that had been torturing her since the last half an hour and then immediately broke into a desperate run, just as he stepped out of his car, now standing beside it, with his hands tugged into his tracks, when she reached him breathlessly.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you Sooo much for stopping by" she said bending a little trying to catch her breath, as he observed her intake deep long breathes.

"You know I fell love with your car at the very first sight in college"love at first site because this is just so my favorite color, but now, I'm even ready to elope with it, really! My love grew by leaps and bounds!! The mere sight of it thrilled me today and it's such a beauty in this mid-night just like the silver lining in the dark cloud?, gosh!! I love it, love it love it!" she said dramatically dropping a hand over the metallic frame and leaned her head onto it pressing her cheek against the glass window with blissful smile on her face, her eyes closed; He looked on and took a double look at the sight in front of his eyes"-----is she even for real?'

His eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped while trying to gather what exactly he was doing here standing in the dark night with a weird creature, at a bus stop adjacent to his car--- wait, his car! That's his car, how dare she?

"Hands. OFF"

"--- I imprint on this thing, wow!" she was in her own world with her eyes closed not even acknowledging him.

"I.SAID.HAND.OFF.MY.CAR" he clenched his teeth trying to sound as furious as he can despite his amused self""YOU WHAATT???" he added-- this time his voice sounded incredulous and too loud, the earlier traces of fake rage completely forgotten. That voice definitely brought her back to earth and she opened her eyes.

"Imprint! I imprint on this, really, it's a very instant feeling you know? I'm sure he feels the same for me too" she talked to his car.

"He??" he could only utter as much, because he is not following even a bit of this weird conversation, something that is least expected given the situation.

"Obviously! I'm a girl and I'll only imprint on a guy right?" he observed her hand was still on his car.

"What the hell is Imprint' ???"

"---Imprint is"

"First hands off my CAR!"

"Oh okay, sorry, ofcourse your car!, argh you are so like Edward Cullen possessive', by the way are you a Vampire too? I mean yeah!" she beamed suddenly like something hit her brain. "Oh my GOD!! You stay aloof too, no one wants to talk to you, and you don't talk to anyone, and you have body-guards, are you??" she stopped blabbering and looked at Arnav who was looking at her like she has suddenly sprouted two heads.

"Are you a Vampire?"
