"Ri, uth na!" Ankita shouted out.
"uffo ..Anki!. chilla matt. Varna tera gala kharab ho gaya toh Rowdy Rathore tujhe bheis samajhke bhag jayega." Riya said, covering her face with the comforter.
"Riya, uthna! Hum late ho jayenge." Neha said, while trying jewelry.
"toh rukne ko kaun keh raha hai? ja nah..main nehi jaane wali hu, bas!" Riya said.
"Par kyu Riya? Arjun sir ka b'day hain yaar.", Ankita said.
"toh main kya karu? Nachu?" Riya said, annoyed.
"Not a bad idea!" both Ankita and Neha high fived each other.
"Tu dreamy ki party mein kyu nehi jana chahti? Saare arrangements to tune hi ki hai? to kyu sarr dard ka bahana kar rahi hai?" Neha asked, while throwing a pillow at Riya.
"O hello! main koi bahana nehi kar rahi. Meri sarr mein sachmuch dard hai", Riya caught the pillow and pouted. "ajeeb ajeeb khayalat ata hai", Riya thought.
"Rehne de Neha, ye darr rahi hai" laughed Ankita.
"Excuse me what? Darr?" Riya threw the pillow aside facing them.
"aree haan..main toh bhul hi gayi. Riya darr rahi hogi. Arjun sir ki intense hotness se!" Neha winked, giggling.
"darr aur Riya Mukherjee?huh… Main kisise nehi darti. Aur Arjun se toh bilkul bhi nehi", Riya calmly stated.
Ankita: "Dogs"
Riya: "not the puppy ones"
Neha: "spiders"
Riya: "not the little ones"
Ankita: "snakes"
Riya: "only the big ones"
Neha: "rats"
Riya: "not the small ones."
Ankita: "heights"
"Alright. Fine!" Riya pouted. "I'll go. But mind it, mujhe uss Arjun namak special specimen se darr nehi lagta. Aur rahi sawal jane ki toh tere dreamy ka kuch udhar chukta karma hai. Now, get ready in 10 minutes. Fast" Riya said to the duo, pointing 10 minutes with her hand, getting off the bed.
Both Ankita & Neha gave each other a winning smile.
Riya turned & saw them smiling
"kya dant dikhane ka competition chal raha hai yaha? Get ready varna baadme mujhe matt kehna ki tere baje se hua hai…"
Ankita & Neha: "Bhagera Bhagera"
"haan. And you have only 7 minutes remaining." Riya pointed at the clock.
Riya put on a white dress, some light make-up, a diamond bracelet and she was ready. She was looking stunning, wearing this dress:
She was effortlessly looking gorgeously sexy. Arjun toh gaya kaam se!
Ankita and Neha joined her.
"ho gayi maharanis?" she teased them.
"kya Ri? acche se taiyar hone bhi nehi diya" Neha whined.
"B'day party pe jaa rahe hai shaadi pe nehi." Riya rolled her eyes.
"tujhse toh baat hi karna bekar hai." Ankita said, straightening her hair.
"waah, kitni jaldi samajh gayi!" Riya smirked.
And they headed to the party.
_____________________________
Beach was glowing with lights. Dj was playing some rocking music. Doing dhak dhak.
Means the party has already started. "Kya nazara hai, cop ki liye aisi party! Wah re Rathore!" Riya grinned.
"see hum kitni late aaye hai, sab teri baje se." Ankita groaned, looking for Sameer.
"hold on. Meri bhajese? 1 ghante se make-up ka dabba tum dono khali kar rahe thhe aur kasoor mera?" Riya exclaimed. .
"abb andar chale ya yaha se bida hona hai", Neha said, impatiently.
"teri per mein beriya dali hai maine? Nehi na. toh jaa na." Riya said. She was cranky as she was nercous. Why nervous? Duh, it's HIS b'day. "I wonder if he's inside!" she looked for that dangerously gorgeous man.
"Oyee, cranky, tu kaha jaa rahi hai?" Ankita asked, holding Riya's arm.
"aati hu meri amma. Chal" Riya motioned them inside.
They went inside. It was packed with people! Basically, Arjun's and Sameer's friends and Riya didn't know most of them. All seemed to enjoy. Dancing, laughing and boozing a little.
Sameer greeted them and soon he and Ankita got invisible. Shree came to them and soon Neha was gone too. And Chotu was busy dancing with his 11.30 wali, who turned out to be Sameer's relative.
"Kya dost hai meri" Riya mused, standing alone. But yeh birthday boy hain kaha? She wondered.
She didn't like the crowd today which was so unlike her. Riya is usually the loud one. Her friends called her Tornado. Toofan would be an understatement to describe her actually. Duniya agar iss dish ape chalet hai toh who ulti disha pakad leti hai..
But tonight was unruffled and she didn't like to be strident with all the havoc that is going on in her heart. And her mind was cloudy with his thoughts.
Arjun Raute.
Oh how much she hated this name!
Since the day they met, something had to go utterly eerie when they are together. Riya remembered the first time they saw each other after all those years…finally!
*Flashback*
Mumbai Airport
Riya was finally in Mumbai.
"Hey Mumbai!' She opened her arms and took a deep breath, smiling. She took her bag and started to walk towards the departure door. But her bag was stuck! as she turned to see what was keeping her bag from being dragged, she bumped into something that made the front of her white colored v neck t-shirt wet and soaked through to her skin and it felt, well cold.
She heard a sorry from a voice that was so husky, Riya felt goose bumps on her and she knew it wasn't just the cold drink that gave them to her.
She looked up to see a gorgeous face that matched the voice, and blinked, twice. His extremely gorgeous face stopped her from going livid which Riya would usually have gone.
She followed his expressions and saw a change, from remorse to some unanticipated desire. She followed his gaze and saw her soaked white t-shirt had almost turned transparent. She felt like she was exposed in front of him. Embarrassed and fuming, she covered them with her hands.
Doing so, she dropped her passport on the floor and bent down to pick it up, giving him a view of heaven. (BG music : aa ja tujhe heaven dikhadu)
He coughed and turned around. Obviously, she wouldn't like a man getting aroused with just a glance at her sumptuous self.
"Control ACP", Arjun told himself.
And then the story of a tornado and volcano started. Riya did end up blasting him off, and him, being ACP Arjun Raute, lost his cool too.
*Flashback ends*
(yes, I am evil😈)
Riya was blushing and needed fresh air to calm herself down. She excused herself and started walking by the sea.
She could beheard everyone counting & wishing him.
So, he is here.
"Riya, bhagle yaha se varna phir tujhe khech k waha le jayega", she grinned at her idea & turned to run. But instead she collided with a strong chest.
She lost her balance & was falling. She closed her eyes & thought "Riya teri sexy kamar toh aaj gayi samjho".
But surprisingly, she felt nothing except a strong arm sneaking around her waist & another one holding her wrist. "Hayee! Mera mr right inni jaldi aa gaya", she felt happy yet amused.
Slowly she opened her eyes & her jaw dropped.
She saw Arjun staring at her. He seemed lost. (Duh) he was wearing jeans with a white shirt. Almost all the buttons opened, revealing his bare torso. His bulging biceps and triceps and trembling muscles on the chest was enough to send any girl to dreamland.
He looked hot. Enough to melt any girl to a puddle of goo.
Arjun was lost looking at her. She looked beautiful. Her face was glowing under the moonlight. And, damn she looked sexy in that dress!
"tum!!" she retorted.
Her voice broke his trance. He took off his hands from her slowly and steadied her on her feet.
"woh..woh bas main tehel raha tha" Arjun said looking anywhere but not on her. Wait, why was he even giving her an explanation for nothing?
She raised her brow at his reply. Ae le, iss besharam ko kya hua?
"tum agar vul gaye ho toh batadu, waha tumhari birthday party chal raha hai.. It's almost 12. You should go in and cut the cake. They must be waiting" Riya said darkly, pointing inside.
Arjun looked at her for a moment, both having eye-sex..I mean eye lock!
He then headed to the party, silently wishing that she would stop him & wish him.
He was slightly feeling upset as she still didn't stop him.
But suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He felt annoyed thinking it must be Sameer or someone else.
Riya felt she should at least wish him. She went near him & tapped him on his shoulder. He stopped but didn't turn. She again tapped him.
This time he turned & Riya accidentally tapped on his face.
"ouch! What the hell?" he bellowed.
"sorry! I was just.." Riya said quickly.
He glared at her. Riya rolled her eyes.
"kya? ghoor kya rahe ho? Tumhe maarne ka irada nehi tha. I just wanted to wish you." Riya said, showing him a hand, before he could yell at her.
"Happy birthday Arjun SIR." She softly said, putting stress on 'Sir'. Saying so she left, leaving him dumbfounded.
There were fireworks on the sky. It was exactly 12. Riya stopped & looked at it. Arjun looked at it and then at Riya.
Sameer's voice declared that it's 12 & requesting Raute to join them or he'll encounter him.
Riya laughed at Sameer's warning and looked at Arjun, catching him looking at her. She gave him a small smile & left.
Arjun was beaming with joy. So, miss statistics had wished him 1st like always, he grinned.
Arjun and Riya would wish each other even if they didn't meet each other. On their birthdays, they would get a parcel from each other or phone calls. Both the families would make Arjun, Riya do this every year. This would amuse them both.
___________________________
"Raute. Kaha tha tu?" Sameer growled. Arjun rolled his eyes at his bestfriend. "Anyways, happy birthday!" Sameer said while hugging Arjun.
"Thanks Sam" Arjun replied hugging him back.
All wished him. Girls were dying to go coochi coo with him. But they had poor luck. Arjun had maintained sufficient distance with them. (Sorry love, he's mine )
Riya was standing a little far & glaring at those stupid girls. She wanted to notch their hair. She was unaware why.
"nangi phungi larkiya. Kaise dost hain Arjun ki? Uparse jitna bada hai niche se kapre utne hi chote. Aa gaye bas uski saath dhak dhak karne." Riya muttered under her breath. (madam, aap bhi toh peheni ho!)
"Arjun abb jaldi se cake kato." Ankita said.
"par cake hain kaha?" Sameer inquired. "Riya, cake ki arrangement toh tum dekhne wali thi na?"
"haan, there it is." Riya said pointing at a waiter coming with a large black forest chocolate cake.
"Chocolate cake! Kisne order ki hain? I hate chocolate cake. Sam tujhe pata hain na?"
Arjun suddenly barked.
"Arjun..woh Riya ne'" but Sameer couldn't finish.
"Oh yeah. Riya of course! gadbar to sirf yehi kar sakti hai" looking at Riya accusingly, knowing really well it's gonna irk her to death.
And voila!
"mujhe toh akashbani ayegi na ki mr Arjun Sadu raute ko chocolate hazam nehi hota."
Riya said dramatically. "Vaise bhi tumhare liye toh karela ka cake lana chahiye tha. chocolate tumhari liye kuch jyada hi mitha hai." Riya snapped.
"kya kaha tumne?" Arjun, taking a step closer to her.
"sunai nehi diya? Jor se bolu?" Riya said, taking a step toward him
Both were ready to kill each other but Shree barged in.
"ok..ok. stop. its ok. fine. Arjun sir, aap cake cut kariye phir baki sab kha lenge. Aapko koi nehi khilaega. Thik hai?" Shree suggested. Sameer nodded in agreement.
Arjun cut the cake. Everyone clapped.
Riya just rolled her eyes. Ankita poked her to clap. She gave a stare to Ankita who stared at her back. She pouted and clapped like she was killing mosquitoes.
"Happy birthday Arjun" suddenly someone called out, pushing Riya aside. She went up to Arjun & hugged him from back.
Arjun turned & saw Nadiya. He was annoyed but then looked at Riya who was fuming & glaring dangerously at them.
"Thanks Nadiya" Arjun gave her a lovely smile and hugged her back, noticing Riya.
Suddenly Nadiya placed a kiss on Arjun's cheek without giving him a chance to stop her.
Riya furrowed her brows. She made a face taking out her tongue as she had seen something awfully disgusting.
Arjun saw Riya peeping from Chotu's back and instantly hit upon a plan. He said to Nadiya when she was trying to feed him a piece of cake.
"I'm so sorry Nadiya. Main tumhe cake nehi khila sakta and kha bhi nehi sakta. Ek stupid ne without my permission chocolate cake le aaya. And I don't like chocolate cake"
That's it. She stormed to them.
Nadiya saw her and gave her a look as she was some dirt."yes kuch log hote hi aise hai jo khud to kaam ki nehi hote but dikhawa jarur karte hai. " indirectly saying to Riya. "Chocolate cake sirf nerds hi khate hai, kyu Riya?"
Arjun knew Riya will burst out in a few moments. If looks could kill, Riya would be a murderer by now. That's what he wanted! His sexy gussewali sherni. Now, where did that 'sexy' came from?
"phir to tumse bada nerd aur koi nehi hai? Remember last week Revathy ki party mein? tumne almost 1 pound cake khaya tha who bhi chocolate cake. I think you are feeling shy here. Lemme feed you" Riya mocked & took a piece of cake. She moved forward to Nadiya but instead of feeding her, she smashed it on her face. (kaha tha na, yeh pagal hai?🤪)
Everyone stood still and gaped at Riya.
"Now that's better" Riya beamed. "mazaa aaya? You want more?"
Okay, even Arjun never thought she would do something like this. "what is this creature?" he thought.
"you!!" Nadiya gasped.
"yes me! Oh, I've another thing for you my love!" Riya said, wickedly.
Saying so, she switched on the table fan. It was facing Nadiya. Riya held the colored papers plate. They flew & clung to Nadiya's face.
"off it" Nadiya somehow managed to speak, trying to cover her face.
"on it? Okey" Riya laughed & increased the level.
All paper pieces were now kissing Nadiya.
"ohhh…off it. Aah, silly me!" Riya retorted. "Chocolate is good for health and Nadiya, you so need it" Riya said laughing.
"Riya, what the hell?" Arjun asked hastily.
"oh, again my mistake." She said, taking some cream and put it on Arjun's face.
"Happy birthday once again" she said sweetly, giving him a dimple smile, then walking off.
Riya, You are too good!, she patted on her own shoulder.
"Ri, vaag" Shree shrieked.
Riya looked back & saw Arjun who looked furious; coming towards her. He looked as he has some evil planned on his brain which he always does. Riya saw cake on his hand.
Riya, run. She told herself & ran for her life.
__________________________
Arjun really had some evil plans. 'Riya, tumhari toh hisab chukta karna hi parega" Arjun grinned. He saw her running and he chased her.
Riya kept running. Now, she was very far from the party place. She thought Arjun might have lost her sight. She stopped to have a breath.
Suddenly she felt someone's gaze on her neck. She turned but saw no one. There was nothing except a camp tent & sea.
She went to the sea & felt the shore beating her feet softly. She again felt someone's present. She turned & went to the tent. She saw nothing. But as she turned, she found herself face to face with Mr sexy pants.
She stepped back but lost her balance. She grabbed Arjun's arms but he wasn't ready for this. So Riya crashed on the sand, taking Arjun with her. Arjun fell on her & accidentally smashes the cake on her face.
Riya screamed and Arjun immediately stood up. He was at loss for what to do.
Riya gave an ear-piercing scream. Her face was now streaked with chocolate. Mostly, her mouth. (Wink..Wink😉)
Arjun planned to run away before she kills him. But as a gentleman, he gave her a hand & she shot a dragger at him.
He withdrew his hand & turned to leave. But Riya kicked on his feet making him fall on her again.
And
This time his face touched hers. His lips brushed against her lips making her shiver a little. She closed her eyes on his touch. Arjun looked at her closed eyes then gazed at her lips which were now adorned with chocolate.
Arjun couldn't resist himself. His passion soon overtook his caution and he quietly dropped his head to place a gentle kiss on her lips. They tasted chocolaty.
He felt her hands press behind his head, holding his lips to hers.
He pressed himself to her, gently tracing the outline of her lips with his tongue. He licked the chocolate. He gently locked her upper lip. Riya parted her lips in shock & sensation. It gave Arjun a chance to explore her mouth which he obviously took. (duh😆)
He sucked on her lip, then twisting his tongue into her mouth. Then he traced her neck with his hand while kissing her passionately. He played with her open hair. Here, she was lost enjoying every moment. His kiss expressed desire, passion, love, longing, intense need, care and affection for her. He was fierce yet gentle, taking command of her senses.
He sucker her bottom lip once and then kinda harshly bit down on her lower lip.
And this made Riya come to her sense.
She flung her eyes open.
