He had pinned her between the wall and his lower body, the only thing which was maintaining some distance between there upper bodies were her hands which she had placed in front of her instinctively. She opened her mouth to protest but she was silen...
Nick slowly turned around to find his worst nightmare standing in front of him in all her stunning glory.
"Lizzy?"
He replied breathlessly. She still looked as beautiful as he remembered, tall ,slim body that would shame a model. Her blond locks framing perfectly her round face. She was wearing a revealing white dress which left very little to imagination.

She looked at him and gave him same dazzling smile which made him fall in love with her all those years back. He found himself dumbstruck for a moment till a warm hand slid into his ,holding his hand tightly,possessively making him aware of her presence.
he cleared his throat and introduced them to each other.
"Nisha this is Lizzy, i mean Elizabeth. We are old acquaintances."
"And Elizabeth ,this is Nisha my fiance."
"Nice to meet you Elizabeth,Nick speaks very highly of you." Nisha greeted her warmly yet he could hear slight sarcastic tone in her voice, it was almost hardly there for anybody else to catch but he knew her too well.
"Ohh now does he! i hope to get to know you too"
Elizabeth replied over too sweetly, giving him an impression that there was something more going on in this conversation then mere pleasantries.
"Elizabeth i heard you shifted to Australia few years ago?"
Nick butted in the conversation before any of girls could say somethimg else.
"Ohh please stick to Lizzy ,Nicki boy , we are too good friends to follow such formalities. Yes i did shifted to Australia with Robert my late husband who expired last year and now i have decided to come back to London. I missed this city and its people for too long now. We should have a dinner sometime, what do you say?"
Elizabeth replied suggestively, never once taking her eyes of him.
"Absolutely , we should."
Nisha replied eagerly before Nick could even react.
"Well , see you soon then Nick but now please excuse me, My date must be looking for me. It was pleasure to meet you Nisha and Its a very beautiful ring."
Elizabeth gave them a polite smile and wandered off in crowd before anyone of them could react.
"Now that was some hot cat fight mate."
Aaron butted in as soon as Elizabeth left. Nick looked at him questioningly, though he had a fair idea that there was something more going on between both the ladies but a fight? how did he missed that ?
"Ohh how can you be so dumb mate? There was a clear fight going on and your Lizzy just scored a point."
Aaron replied sarcastically.
"What point?"
Nick was still enable to understand it but before Aaron could say anything Nisha turned towards him ,thrusting her hands in front of his face.
"Beautiful ring Nicki boy."
He face palmed himself mentally. ofcourse that was offensive cause there was no ring. You don't claim that relationship untill you put a stone on it, but he couldn't introduce her as his girl friend cause then it will put her in that long list of his flings harming her reputation. He turned towards Nisha to apologize who was currently engrossed in conversation with Aaron and Divya. As he was about to interrupt their conversation , music started to fill the room leading people on dance floor, and Aaron seized the to ask Nisha to dance with him which she happily agreed.
Aaron lead her on a dance floor and they started dancing waltz in perfect unison matching each others steps,pace, smiling at each other . He felt a pang of jealousy as Aaron twist and turned her ,anyboby looking at them would think they were more than friends, that they were in love head over heels with each other.
Soon he saw Eros asking Aaron permission for next dance and Divya to was dancing with some model. He saw Aaron making his way towards a terrace and followed him after grabbing a glass of whisky from a bar.
He found Aaron standing on terrace all by himself and cleared his throat to catch his attention. Aaron turned around and gave him a smile before turning his attention back to the beatutiful night sky view.
"That was some performance you gave. You and Nisha. Anyone would have thought both of you are more than friends. "
Nick said bitterly as he swallowed his drink. Aaron chuckled lightly.
"I would have thought that you are jealous but i know that you are. Well my date ditched me that is why i am here standing alone but you have such a beautiful lady on your arm yet here you are. You are wasting your time Nick , you should be with her. "
"She is mine Aaron , you can't go after her. "
"She is no one's mate. Not yet. And its not like you are in love with her or something. You are just using her for your own selfish reasons and your pathetic revenge."
"Tell me Nick , what wrong she has done to you? You and i both know what your true intentions are but her, she thinks of you as her friend , she never not even once thought anything ill of you,then why Nick? why are you so hell bound to hurt her?"
"I don't want to hurt her Aaron. "
"Then please let her go. She has a bright future in front of her, Even Elizabeth is now back, both of you can marry and have that family you always dreamed about, just don't do this to Nisha. '
"You say this as if you know her more than me Aaron"
"Yes Nick i know her more than you. I know things that you might never know and not because i did a profiling of her but because she told me. She trusts me Nick, more than she trusts you."
"Maybe, but are you saying this because if i let her go ,you can have her yourself/"
"Yes,Nick."
"You are not trying to say what i think you are trying to say Aaron. I will kill you."
"Yes Nick. You guessed it right."
"You mean you are.... and she is also?"
" No Nick, she doesn't. She never even thought it that way. She is determined about marrying you but yes i am."
"No Aaron ,you are misunderstood"
"i am sorry my friend but i am not . I am in love with Nisha"
