So sorry its late!
PART 3:
"Are you still thinking about her!?"
Arjun looked up from his glass. Jay was standing in front of him, putting his jacket on. They had come to a club to celebrate the end of the first day of their last year as college students. While Jay and Romit drank, danced and chatted up women, Arjun had spent the whole night sitting at the bar. And no, he wasn't drinking. No need really as he was already drunk. Drunk on the thoughts of a certain bright-eyed girl. There was a constant grin on his face all night as he repeatedly replayed her telling him to sit next to her and her smile in his head. He couldn't get over how beautiful she had looked when she smiled. He also found himself admiring her silently strong personality. Her subtle confidence was a real turn-on. But would he sit next to her? He was normally incredibly confident with women but he didn't know where this hesitancy was coming from. There was something about Arohi that was different and amazing but mysterious, all at the same time.
"Well,we're ready to go home,are you coming?"
Arjun nodded and got up,putting his jacket on at the same time. This was the great thing about not living in a hostel, no curfews, no sneaking in and total freedom. Arjun, Jay and Romit all lived together in Romit's house. Technically, it was Romit's parents house but they now spent most of the year at their other home in Delhi, leaving the three guys to turn it into a complete bachelor pad.
As they were heading home on their motorbikes, Arjun noticed that his bike's gas tank needed filling. He told the others to go on and that he would fill up and come home.
Arjun looked around while waiting for the guy to fill the tank. It was then he noticed a black car driving away from the gas station. And the driver looked a lot like the girl who had been plaguing his thoughts all night! Arohi!
*what the hell is she doing out at 1.30 at night!?!?*
He immediately got on his bike and followed her. He maintained a safe distance so that she couldn't see him. He followed her into an alleyway, where she parked her car. Arjun looked at the surrounding buildings. They weren't anywhere near any hostels or houses.
* why is she parking here of all places?*
He watched as she got out of the car. She wore black jeans, a black side-zip leather jacket and black leather boots.She looked incredible, sexy but sinister. Arjun watched from his bike as she locked the car and started walking down the alleyway. He quickly got off his bike and started following her on foot, making sure to walk quietly and in the shadows. For a while they just walked around, not doing anything or seeing anyone. But still, Arjun couldn't bring himself to leave her and go home. He didn't know why but he felt this overwhelming need to protect her and to not let her out of his sight.
A shrill scream suddenly pierced the air, leaving a ringing in their ears. Arohi immediately ran down the alley, towards where the scream had come from. Arjun followed, though slowly so as to not alert her to his presence. He watched as she slowed down and stopped, focussing on the scene in front of her. A guy was holding a girl against the brick wall, caging her within his arms. He was trying to kiss her and at the same time was groping at her, ripping away at the hem of her dress, tearing it to the top of her thigh. The girl was sobbing and desperately trying to push him off, begging him to leave her. Arjun started to run forward to help her but he stopped and watched stunned as Arohi pulled out her gun and, what he guessed correctly to be pepper spray. She went behind the guy and placed her gun to the side of his head. The guy immediately stopped what he was doing and let go of the girl. Arohi pushed at the guy's head with the gun, forcing him to turn around. As he turned, she sprayed pepper spray directly into his eyes, causing him to shout out in pain. He held his head and rubbed at his eyes while shouting, desperately trying to reduce the burning. While he did this, Arohi grabbed him by the shoulders and kneed him in the groin. The guy screamed out in agony and fell to the ground, curling into the foetal position. Arohi stepped over him and went to the girl, who was standing there shocked and whimpering. Arohi spoke to her quietly and then placed an arm around her shoulders. She tucked her gun and pepperspray back into her jacket and started to lead the girl away, back towards her car.
Arjun stood in the shadows, unable to move. He was shocked beyond belief. Had he really just seen that? Everything had happended so quickly, he was having to convince himself that he wasn't back at the club, asleep and dreaming it all.
He stood further back in the shadows as Arohi and the girl walked past him. As she walked, Arohi suddenly looked right into the shadows and right into his eyes. It was very dark so Arjun guessed that she couldn't see him and was just looking into space. But as her gaze lingered for a second longer, there was no doubt in his mind that she knew he was there. But as he held his breath, waiting to see what she would do, she turned her head and looked forward and carried on walking.
Arjun looked back at the guy. He was still on the ground, now whimpering in pain. Arjun shook his head in disgust and started walking back towards his bike.
How could he not sit next to her after this!
