Take a chance with Aditi?

The next morning the bus reached Shimla. Vidya and Anish bid an awkward good-bye after their encounter as they both headed to their assigned rooms.

The itinerary was for everyone to freshen up in their rooms and then head for for a walk to the city. Anish wanted to further test the spell to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.

One of the rules said that if someone already loves you the spell would not work on them, and he had the perfect girl to test this on.

He had recently gotten to know that Aditi has had a crush on him for the longest time. Maybe it would be good to test out the theory and also get a date for the night.

The entire group set out for a walk around the city. Anish spotted Aditi with a couple of her girlfriends and made his way toward them. Usually he was shy, but this time around he felt an air of confidence around him.

"Hey!" He said to Aditi.

"Hi, what do you want?" She replied indifferently.

"Need to talk to you,"

"Okay, what's up?"

"Not here, alone." He said as he grabbed her by her hand and pulled her out of the group almost without her consent. Aditi was shocked but she didn't mind.

"Is this some sort of a prank you're playing on me?"

"No I wanted to talk to you alone and give you this," he said as he gave her with a cute locket.

"Uhh okay," Aditi replied in surprise.

"Listen I know you kinda hate me, but I know you really don't. I'm not sure but I think you kinda like me, but I definitely know I like you. Maybe I should've been more honest to you about how cute I find you?"

"You do?" Aditi replied with shock and sparkle in her eyes.

"Absolutely, I find you incredibly cute and I'd love to know what I can do so you don't hate me,"

"I don't really hate you Anish," she replied.

"Then I hope you wouldn't mind what I'm about to do next," he said as he leaned in to gently cup her cheeks in his hands and plant a kiss on her.

Aditi was at first shocked but she didn't resist. She took a few seconds to grasp what's happening and to respond back to the kiss.

Parina, one of Aditi's close friends saw this from a distance and quickly ran toward them and broke the kiss.

"What the hell are you doing asshole?" Parina asked in anger.

"I'm kissing my date for the evening, and possibly my gf, isn't that right?" Anish replied

Parina looked at blushing Aditi for an answer who was equally as confused as Parina.

"Yeah, he is Parina, don't worry about it."

"That's, okay. I hope this isn't just a play to get into her pants," she said with suspicion,"

"No it isn't," Anish replied, "I'll leave you with your friend Aditi, but can I meet you later a little before the party begins in the evening?"

"Of course," she said with a smile as she took the locket he gave her.
