As much as I can without you over here,she replies back.
Give me a break.I text back, grinning.
Do you like to dance? You should come and watch me.
Oh, damn. I gulp down hard as I take in her words.
I don't want to go crash their night out, but that' s my girl over there with them. I have the right to go meet her if I want to. And it's been 3 hours already, I miss her.
I look at Cabir and Dhruv to inform them about my "departure" and they signal me to leave. Oh well. Guess I was being obvious while texting her.
Want me to tell you what I'm wearing so you can find me?she texts.
Baby, I could find you anywhere.I reply.
I reach the club where the girls are. It's quite large, dark with neon lights flashing, and some upbeat song is playing. Alya' s drinking at the bar with some girl. Mukti and Navya are dancing with Nandini. It hurt to look at her. She's wearing a knee length floral dress with thin straps on her shoulders. She's got a sheer, lace, see-through shrug on too. She looks beautiful. Sexy. I see some guys ogling at her, they look away when they see me glowering at them with murder in my eyes. Mukti and Navya whisper something in her ear and she nods in acknowledgement. They leave her to go to Alya. I frown.
She looks at me and I flash her a sultry smile, advancing towards her on the dance floor. She sends me a delicious smile right back.
I like the fact that she's like this with only me. Warm, carefree, hot, no-holds-barred. Only, ever me. I would be the only one to see this side of her. Just like she's the only one who's seen and accepted all the facets of me. She's seen my darkest side and hasn't left. I don't know how I got this lucky. But I do know that I'm never going to let anyone take her away from me.
The song changes to a soft one.
She loops her arms around me as soon as I reach her. I grin and wrap my hands around her waist, pulling her closer. She's snug against my body, her fingers playing in my hair at my nape, her body still moving to the music. She's driving me nuts, and by the looks of the mischievous smile playing at the side of her lips, she knows it too.
Leaning in close, I murmur in her ear, "Hi."
"Hi," she says, brushing her lips against my earlobe. I shudder at the tender contact of her lips on my skin.
"Where did the girls leave?"
"Arre, they saw you coming to get me, and decided to leave. They're probably on their way to home right now. Plus, Navya was really worried about Misha."
"When did my friends get so smart?" I ask. She giggles at that.
I smooth my hands over at the small of her back, and I swear I feel her tremble at my touch. Damn. I want to get out of here. It's too public, too crazy to indulge like this with her. She looks up at me, her eyes wide, her lips glistening as if she's just licked them. we've been playing a game ever since I got here, and now I want to claim my prize.
She's all I want. All that I'll ever want.
I never believed in fairy tales, not even when I was a little kid. My life has always been full of tragedy since childhood. A mom who can go to any ends for money and power. A father who loves me but is not willing to keep me with him. I never believed anyone would ever truly love and accept me.
Being with Nandini, those harsh, unwanted feelings are slowly evaporating. She knows every single horrible thing that has happened in my life and she doesn't care. She wants to support me, stand by me.
She just flat out wants... me.
I'm probably moving too fast, way too fast for her comfort. But looking at her, I know that this is the person that I want by my side forever. I can't imagine a single moment in my life without her. I can't live without her.
It's that simple, and that complicated, all at once.
"Lets get out of here," I whisper in her ear. She nods. I take her hand in mine, leading her out of the club.
I notice the knowing smirk on her lips when we sit in the car.
"What?"
"You-know-what." She says.
"Are you making fun of me, Ms. Murthy? If so, i know tumhe kaise chup karwana hai." I raise my eyebrow at her.
A sweet, cherry blush starts spreading from her cheeks, to her neck. I want to get her to my bed and see the place where her blush ends.
