Armaan Hamilton turned swiftly as he heard a huge splash behind him and barely managed to make out a fair skin body sinking into the waters. He paused for a second and dived inside'.opening his eyes under water he managed to make out in the blur'the body was gasping, struggling to make it to the surface. It was a feminine body he realized as he noticed the strands of hair flowing'..she was struggling he realized with a jolt.
Two powerful strokes and he caught her'..she wasn't even in a swim suit he realized as her body came in contact with his.....some sort of flowery dress she wore. He brought the struggling body to the surface''cutting through the water surface''gasping for breath'he still held her in his arms.
"Thankyou but it wasn't needed." She sputtered still gasping.
Armaan now looked at fully'..catching sight of her black hair'.slicked on her forehead'.her eyes light'..green or maybe'.grey-light'he couldn't make out'they were wide with embarrassment as she still struggled in his arms gasping for breath.
"Excuse me?" he cocked a brow and looked at her.
"Not needed?? I believe you fell in here and apparently did not know how to swim. You should be thanking me firstly madam." He continued still holding her, his hands around her waist'.molding her wet body in his.
"Well yes I did fall into the pool. I was walking and I guess I was dangerously close to the edge'so I slipped." She admitted looking away. He noticed the thin summery orange dress stinking snugly to her body'.it was almost transparent'.no wondering she was feeling embarrassed Armaan thought smiling with a little amusement inwardly'..as he noticed her hugging herself tightly.
He wouldn't be a man if he did not notice this'he thought smiling as his gentlemanly nature forced him to tear his gaze away from the beauty in his arms. He concentrated on her face instead. She was beautiful'.he wouldn't term her as sexy'just plainly natural beauty.
"Umm so will you now help me out since you have been so helpful?" she smiled sweetly and teasingly.
"Mmhhh'let me think'" he couldn't help teasing her'.grinning he pulled her closer'just a little.
"What are you doing..??" she muttered looking at him, her eyes now sharp and aware.
"I saved your life'.dont you think I should be rewarded?" he asked smiling slowly.
"I already thanked you Mister. And well I told you'there was no need. I can swim'.poorly though. But I would have managed. Thankyou for your help anyways. I really appreciate it." She added in a softer tone.
"So reward???" he teased further as he gently wadded along with her and helped her out of the pool.
"Reward? She looked at him critically as he rested his hands on the edge of the pool while she climbed out.
"I barely know you'" she went on further.
"Hmm but you trusted me enough to bring you out'.and I have been quite of a gentleman." He winked grinning as she looked away, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"Dinner with me tonight?" he pressed on further.
"Umm'." Armaan noticed her looking uncertain.
"Look both of us are staying here'.in the same hotel. You seem alone'.so am I'unless you are committed else where, a dinner wont harm would it." He genuinely smiled
"Well ok'." She muttered in a doubtful tone and smiled.
"I am Riddhima Gupta'.." she held out a hand and smiled. it was as he had expected. Beautiful, momentarily enthralling'.but yet there was a permanent frown on her face, as though she carried the world's load on her shoulders. I am thinking ahead of myself he shook his head and shook her hand. Before letting it go'.he placed a soft gentle kiss on her hand and smiled licking the combination of salty sweetness on his lips.
" I am''." He paused. He opened his mouth to tell her his name, but thought better of it. The temptation to give in to the freedom of anonymity was too much. He'd been burned so many times by women who had wanted him for his family name, money or both. He'd always wanted to know if a woman could want him for himself instead of all the trappings associated with being a Hamilton'..the sole heir 'the only male Hamilton in his generation'..He felt a twinge of conscience but pushed it aside. If things worked out, he would tell her the truth later.
"I am Aditya Sharma." He smiled letting go of her hand.
"So we shall meet tonight at 7'.in the restaurant down here." he added as she nodded and smiled.
"See you later." She called walking away.
"I will be looking forward to it'Riddhima." He called'loving the sound of her name escaping his lips.
