- And we are done - shouted the director. - Thank you, everybody.
- Woh - Mahinder exhaled. - Thank you for joining me today.
He smiled and stood up, to shake everybody's hand. We did the same. The shoot was done. Vikram Kaur showed on the set almost immediately.
- Time for us, guys - ha said and started rushing everybody out.
It was actually smart as even when we were living, people stormed us, with questions, and asking for photos with Ki'rai. We evacuated on time though, and then left the premises of the studio to go straight to the hotel.
Reporters were occupying our way out, trying to block the gate, but our fierce driver just kept going, using the horn like a madman, and scared them off.
There was a bit of annoying action with them even after we passed through, as they tried to chaise us, taking photos, but eventually, we lost them in the crowded city, full of traffic and cars.
- It was surprisingly nice - I pointed out to my assistant, since the two of us ended up in the same car, as we were arriving at the hotel.
- Well, I went through the questions, and removed the unnecessary ones. I thought you might be too occupied with miss Sudarshana.
- Thanks. You are a real lifesaver.
- You have no idea. They wanted you to rank hunters based on their strength. Can you believe that?
The car stopped, so I didn't answer right away but got out. There were reporters around, kept at by, by the security, so we had to quickly go inside.
- I actually can believe that. Thank you, Vikram. Remind me how much I pay you for this job?
- Nothing.
- Well, from now on you get double.
- Zero times two is still zero.
- You drive hard bargain, my friend. Tripple.
He just shook his head, patted me on the shoulder in silence, and left. I was only alone for a short moment since Sudarshana approached me.
- Well, that was a pleasant experience - she said with a smile. - I thought it would be worse, actually. I thought the host would be an asshole diva, but he was a nice guy.
- Not as nice as I am.
- Are you jealous, Peter?
- Me? Hmpf! Of course, I'm jealous.
She laughed.
- I see you have just as good mood as I do. How about we celebrate a successful interview with a glass of wine?
- You want to get me drunk, so it would be easier to get me into your bed?
- That was exactly my plan - she smiled.
- I'm not that easy.
- Ok, no then - she said, smiled a little at me, and was about to live.
- Wait. After thinking it through, let's have that wine.
- So you are that easy after all, huh? - she said all triumphant, turned around, then left.
I had to take that little slap to the face. I won't lie, I was really interested in her. I followed her to the terrace with the ocean view. The waiter showed up shortly after we sat down, offering us a menu.
He noded, and left us, and few other guests also enjoying the sunny day outside.
- So... Whos room are we going to after? - I asked.
She laughed at me.
- It was a joke, Peter. Please...
- Oh... Now you hurt my feelings.
- Because I didn't agree to sleep with you? Please - she rolled her eyes.
- Man can have a dream, can't he?
- That was your dream? To sleep with me? Really?
- What can I say? I'm a simple man - I shrugged my shoulder.
Then the waiter showed up, and put the wine in front of us, on the table. We picked it up immediately to have a taste.
- It's a beautiful day - she said after a moment.
- It is - I agreed.
- So... We are returning tomorrow...
The conversation suddenly became awkward for her. There had to be a reason, but I couldn't tell at that moment.
- Yes. Back to our normal lives. You will go to your research, and I'm gonna go back to hunting.
- Yeah... - she said and looked me straight in the eyes for a moment.
- What? - I asked.
- No... Nothing - she said, swallowing, a then smiled to hide behind the mask.
- If something is bothering you, you can tell me.
- No... It's nothing. Just... My life used to be so different, and now I'm realizing how much I've missed. I liked it here... This little trip of ours was fun - she smiled again.
- I liked it too...
Her expression changed suddenly and toughened up.
- You know what? I'm gonna go - she said and drunk the whole glass of wine to just walk away.
- That... That was surprising - I mumbled to myself, as she went inside.
I slowly finished my wine, looking at the sea with an empty mind. Then I paid and returned to my room, to sit and write a bit. The evening approached, and I actually managed to put a solid piece of work into my story, but eventually, I got interrupted by knocking on my door.
I dropped my work and went to open it. It was Sudarshana. She was rubbing her own hands, nervous, but she stopped as soon as the door opened.
We stood there for a few seconds, not speaking at all, and just looking at each other. I was confused, thinking that maybe she wanted something, but she kept her silence instead of telling me why.
I opened my mouth to finally ask, but then she jumped on me and pressed her lips against mine. I went with the flow, and we stumbled inside. I had to use 'Telekinesis' to close the door behind us. We made it somehow all the way to the bed, kissing passionately.
As I landed on in, slowing the fall down with my psychic powers, she stopped, and sitting on top of me, straightened her back. I was surprised again, but now I know what really happened. She just didn't know what she should do next, but her mind clicked very soon, and she took off the shoulder straps of her dress, revealing a nice white bra.
I used this opportunity to unbutton my achkan, and take it off. Just as I finished, she was half-naked, with her breasts revealed. Her hard nipples indicated that she was excited. I couldn't resist, and kissed her again.
Just a moment later we both were struggling to take my pants off, so we could unite for the first time ever.
