Chapter 20 (b)
"Today, I will have two ice-creams, one strawberry and one blue berry." Taani told him as if she is telling in biggest secret of hers, causing him to chuckle at her cuteness.
"Don't you want chocolate-chips one today?" Rey asked her, they finished their meal and was waiting for the bill.
"No. Its a berry day." Taani mumbled cutely, in low tone. Rey laughed at her cute explanation. Just then waiter arrived with bill, Rey paid the bill.
They both got up and come out of the restaurant, when Rey's gaze fall over his friends, who were leaving the restaurant as well after lunch and they met near the parking area..
"Hello, Guys!" Rey greeted them, He wrapped his arm around her waist, he pulled her in comfort of his embrace.
"Oh! Thank god, you noticed us. I thought we all were wearing mr. india's watch and were invisible to you." Sharon narrowed her eyes at him.
"Sharon, i really didn't saw you guys-"
"Why would you? You were pretty busy." Simmi said to him, glancing at taani who shifted close to Rey, not liking how all the eyes were on her. It made her feel conscious and uncomfortable.
"I will meet you guys later, excuse us please." Rey said to them, Then he turned to taani, he smiled at her and led her to his car.
"It was so rude. She didn't even greeted us-" Simmi snorted while others agreed with her.
"Rey loves her alot." Kriya mumbled.
"He forget all of us and his dance when she is with him, I was happy when she got engaged, Rey was focusing on his dance and team, but now she is back with him, I doubt he will ever return back to us." Simmi sad to her, making an irritated face.
"You mean, she deliberately keep him away from the team?" Kriya questioned Simmi, surprised at the new found information.
"Yea! Thats why we wanted you to be with him, who won't separate him from his passion and friends, not a non-dancer like taani, who don't even understand what dance means to Rey." Simmi replied back. Her disliking for taani, has never been a hidden fact. Simmi has started disliking since national dance championship, when Taani was against Sharon and also, how rude she was to the team.

"Taani-" His voice came out in a mild whisper through the darkness, as she stood before him, She was wearing nothing but his white tee. Moonlight was beaming inside the room, the only source of light in the dark room.
"Beautiful!" he said to himself, as he kept looking at her. His brown orbs were shining, with a smile playing on his lips. She stepped forward, toward him. She stood right in front of him, just a few inches left out between them.
"What happen, my angel? Not sleepy?" Rey asked her, wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her in his arms.
"No." She mumbled softly.
"What should we do then?" Rey asked her, he lifted his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Taani wrapped her arms around him and embrace him, she buried her face in his chest.
"I want to talk to you." She told him ever so cutely.
"Sure, love. Say, what do you wanna talk about?" Rey asked her, as he picked her up in his arms and took her to their bed, he made her sit on the middle of the bed, then himself joined her.
"About you." She murmured tenderly.
"About me?" An amused Rey asked her, surprised to know that she wants to talk to him, about him only.
"Haa. Why don't you dance anymore?" Taani asked him, playing with the locket he was wearing. She look at him, waiting for an answer.
"I was on short break, but very soon, I will be back as dancer." Rey answered her, smiling down at her. He doesn't regret his decision of leaving dance for a while, he never can. Dance is his passion, but taani is his life. He will always choose her over everything.
"Will you dance for me then?" Taani asked him, looking at him like a curious little child, that had him chuckling at her cuteness.
"Offcourse, Love. I will dance for you." Rey gave a sweet peck on her nose.
Till late at night, they continued talking to each other, making their bond more stronger.
