Chapter 9
[A/N: 200 reviews for 8 chapters! I louv you guys.. Accha I am sorry I am late today.. I met a few friends on my way back from the gym, and didn't realize it got this late. So I apologize for this late update. A tight HUG to Nivi, Hinal and Prenu! I louuuuv you people! Oooohh Ooohhh.. Before I forget, this is actually a real song, which sets hauntingly perfectly against this story's backdrop. It's called Gently as she goes from the movie Beowulf.

He wanted to gulp, but his throat, his mouth, his tongue, everything had just gone dry. She was merely a breath away from him, and all his senses were... bedazzled.
What did she just call him? Did anybody ever address him like that? And why was she smiling as if she knew he would come. He struggled to keep his eyes away from her chest, which was glistening under the clear water of the lake, when suddenly he heard a splash, which most probably, she would have made.
She moved a bit back, almost floating effortlessly in water. She was still smiling at him, as if him not responding was something she expected too.
He tried to gain some of his senses back, and concentrated a bit on the face of this beauty. And then, as if to tell him he wasn't going to have any control, she started singing again, this time looking at him knowingly.
"Eyes... Blue as the sea and the sky... Water flows.. Water flows.." She continued in that hypnotizing voice of hers, while twirling a bit in the lake.
And now, he felt pain in his ears, at the sound of how loud his heart was beating.
"Heart.. Burning like fire in the night... Gently as she goes." She completed her song, and regained her posture near his face.
But this time, she didn't stop, and beaming into his eyes, she leaned in and captured his lips.
