Chapter 10: Votes
Karan has decided that he has to win at any cost. Well not really, as Esha is not going to kiss someone else even if he didn't win anyway but he still should try to win after all she believes that he can win.
He figured that the best strategy to win this competition was to talk to as many women as possible. He was confident that it will be very easy to impress them. He didn't want to use [Domain of Roses] unless the situation goes out of hand. He asked Xiuying for some advice.
"Well... the situation is quite twisted now." Xiuying pondered. "Even though you are a hundred times more attractive than the second most attractive guy, it's going to be very challenging."
"Thanks but why did you think so?" Karan asked. He was feeling happy because of the compliment.
"Look around, there are at least one thousand couples here, means you have around five hundred competitors," Xiuying explained diligently. "And since this university is the best and most famous one, none of them were actually your everyday guys."
Karan gave a thought to her words. And she was right. Most of the guys came here from rich families. Some of them were quite famous on social media while a few of them were even acted in a couple of movies. And the couples were not just made yesterday, a lot of them were in a serious relationship. And the girls were on a similar level so it will take more effort to impress them than a normal girl. And everything has to be done in two hours so he doesn't have enough time to talk with even half of them.
"Xiuying we don't have much time, we don't have any other choice. Let's gather the votes." Karan declared but Xiuying was not convinced.
"Wait a minute. Talking with as many girls as possible is an obvious choice but not a sure-fire way." Xiuying refused Karan's idea.
"So... what do you think we should do?" Karan asked. He had a lot of hope in her.
"Notice the women. Did you feel something is off?" Following her advice, Karan looked around to understand what she's talking about. Almost every woman looked somewhat irritated. That stuck his head with enlightenment. Guys were treating them as potential votes to win the kiss. Unlike guys, girls had not much motivation to become 'Miss Fresher' and they were just here to enjoy but everything seems ruined. The announcement of Esha had created an interesting dynamic.
"If you are going to treat them like everyone else, you are not going to stand out much," Xiuying commented. "I must say that your girlfriend has an exceptional amount of charisma."
Karan smiled as he was happy that someone praised Esha. He now was on the same wavelength as Xiuying. A conventional strategy will not work. He had to do something creative.
Karan and Xiuying looked around to figure out what they can do. Suddenly Karan noticed the dance floor. There were very few couples dancing there even though it should be filled right now. He thought that it's a good idea to dance there for a while, it will help him to get in the spotlight. He was not very good at dancing but Esha had taught him some steps here and there so it would not be much of a problem.
"Do you know how to dance?" Karan asked Xiuying as he gestured towards the dance floor.
"Yeah. That's a very simple dance, so it's easy." Xiuying replied. She also figured out what Karan had thought.
Karan extended his hand towards Xiuying in a gentlemanly style. She gave a smile and put her hand on his. They walked towards the dance floor in an elegant style. It caught the eyes of some guys and girls. Girls were amused by the couple while guys think that he's an idiot for wasting his time dancing.
Once Karan and Xiuying reached the dance floor he pulled her towards him as her breasts smashed with his chest. He put his hands on his waist just above her hips while she wrapped her arms around his neck. The position was very intimate as they were very close to each other. They started moving in a very slow and sensual motion following the rhythm. Their faces were dangerously close to each other.
"It sure is easy," Karan commented as he was facing no difficulty in dancing.
"And it is having a good effect on other people. You win is guaranteed now." Xiuying replied as he observed her surroundings.
"Don't worry about that. Just enjoy this moment." Karan winked making Xiuying smile. She stopped thinking and just focused on dancing.
Their bodies moved in tandem. Their hands moved, feeling each other's bodies as they sensually danced. They lost in each other without any care of the world but still maintained their modesty.

Meanwhile, an interesting scenario was happening inside the hall. The lovely couple had caught the attention of most people inside the hall. Even though other couples were dancing, none had the confidence and flow like them. Girls were very impressed by Karan's carefreeness and his attentiveness towards his partner. Guys were a little bit jealous of him as he had a gorgeous beauty in his arm but still, they couldn't help but praise him.
"OMG! Look at them. That guy is drop-dead gorgeous." A girl standing in a group exclaimed.
"That Asian girl is no less stunning." The girl's partner tried to make her jealous but to no avail as she was mesmerized.
"And look at them dancing. Other guys should learn from him." Another girl said as she looked at other guys mockingly.
"Umm... Well if you want we can dance too." A guy from the group said and raised his hand towards his partner.
"Huh... Now you care about us. Previously you were busy, Nah? Anyway, forget it." The girl put her hand on the guy's and they went towards the dancing floor.
Other guys also took the hint and took their partners to the dancing floor. The girls were now somewhat happy as they got to dance. They can only thank that handsome guy.
All around people saw the ones from the group get to dance floor one by one. They too didn't want to just waste this party and they followed them too.
As the dance floor was not too large, couple after couple took turns to dance. But none of them disturbed Karan and Xiuying. The dead party was now turned into a lively party that all the people were enjoying. Everyone was laughing, dancing and having fun.
Karan and Xiuying left the dance floor after some dancing. They too had a lot of fun and managed to liven up the party. They walked towards a large group to socialize, after all, Karan still need votes. The group was very open and comfortable with them. Guys were trying to flirt with Xiuying while girls had their eyes on Karan.
Xiuying was nice to the guys and politely ignored their advance. Meanwhile, Karan had his arms around the waists two of the prettiest girls in the group while their partners were fuming with envy. Both girls were pressing their bodies on him while giving him compliments. He unashamedly flirted with them and the other girls. As he had not much time to talk to all the girls in the party he had to make sure that his admiration spreads by just girls talking about him each other.
Both of them had dinner there as it will be difficult to eat afterward. After having dinner, Karan said goodbye to the girls and he and Xiuying moved to the other group. The girls from the group were dazed by him and were not getting tired of praising him much to the guys' disappointment.
Just before Karan and Xiuying can reach to another group, a stunning woman blocked their way. She was Esha who was smiling towards them like she was impressed.
"Hey, Karan. Seems like you are having fun." Esha commented as she glanced towards Xiuying who just smiled at her.
"You bet I am. Want to dance with me?" Karan responded as he raised his hand.
"My pleasure." She put her hand on his and they walked towards the dance floor. "I was dying to dance with you."
Karan looked back towards Xiuying and winked at her. She understood and went to talk with other people. Lots of girls were curious about her as she came to the party with Karan. She didn't waste this opportunity to gather votes for him while he danced with Esha.
Karan and Esha reached the dance floor and started dancing. Previously music was slow and romantic type whereas it was now sexy and more energetic. Karan was moving his hands all over Esha's sensual body and feeling her while she had her backed faced towards him, moving and grinding her body on him. While Karan was just an average dancer, Esha had a great talent for dancing and loved it, so even in her high-heels, her moves were very polished and sexy.
After some time Esha moved towards Karan, put both of her arms around his neck and raised her leg which was grabbed by Karan. Karan with one hand supported her thigh while with other groped her ass, which made her moan slightly. Because of a lot of noise, their actions and position were not noticed by anyone.
"So Esha, why you did bullshit like that on the stage?" Karan confronted her before he kissed her neck.
"You talking about the prize?" Esha answered as she enjoyed the dance. "I thought it will be a good reward after you win. Also... you kissing me in front of every excites me a lot."
"And if someone else wins?" Karan was not happy after she announced a kiss as a prize, so he wanted to clear things out first.
"I refuse to believe that someone else can win when you are here." Esha made an obviously-fake sad face to tease him. "And by any chance even if you don't win, you still doubt me? That's what I get for being a loyal girlfriend?"
After hearing her answer, Karan gave her a satisfying smile. Even though her actions are out if the line she didn't have any bad intentions. He didn't forget to spank her which took her by surprise. She can only pout in response.
"And you! You didn't even introduce me to your date." Esha continued the conversation. "Where did you found her? I must say she's absolutely gorgeous."
"Well, she's the one who found me. Her name is Xiuying." Karan smirked. "I don't think I have ever heard you praising a woman's beauty... maybe except your mom."
"Someones is going to have fun tonight," Esha said. "Oh! You are going to do it at my house? She will be screaming a lot. So I'm not getting any sleep tonight then. Poor me."
"Don't worry, you will be screaming with her," Karan said with a commanding voice and tightly groped her ass.
"WHAT? Bu-" Esha's face was totally red. They had done a few threesomes before but every time she's the one who brings the other girl to it. But it's other way around which made her a bit nervous.
"Don't you have to go now? It's time for voting." Karan said before she can continue further.
"Huh... Oh yes, I'll be going then." Without wasting any time she quickly left and went towards the stage leaving Karan alone on the dance floor. He went towards Xiuying as he had nothing left to do here.
Just after Karan reached Xiuying, Esha came on the stage with full confidence and elegance. The nervousness she had before cannot be seen on her face right now. She announced that it's time to vote and to do that they have to use the University's app which every student had been asked to download beforehand. And those who are not students can vote using their partner's. So from every profile, two votes can be cast, one for a guy and one for a girl. Not wasting any time, everyone started voting as Esha had given a time limit of ten minutes.
