This one is for you sweetheart~🤗
Armaan smiled as the director yelled "CUT". Finally his close-up scenes were over. He grinned getting down from his blue bike as he remembered his promise. Yes he did remember he thought checking his reflection for one last time in the rear mirror of his bike. He looked good he decided.
She would be flying down here any moment demanding he fulfill his promise, especially today. It was a special day.
"Armaaaaan." He smiled gleefully and turned to see her come flying to him.
"Aruuuu." He held out his arms wide open.
"Whoosssh." She always came with this force, the vibrant bubbling energy that was so very infectious. She was his heroine .His brand of heroine he mused seeing her looking up at him with shinning eyes.
"You do remember your promise na Armaan?" she questioned him searching his eyes for a confirmation. Fondly patting her head as he usually did so he smiled nodding his head.
"Ofcourse I do sweetheart. I will definitely keep my promise I made to you."
"That's great." She sighed happily.
"Shall we start?" she asked him her eyes shinning.
"Swoooshhhhhh''" Armaan looked up to see a Volvo stop right beside them. It seemed to have come out of no where. But it was always so, Armaan thought, might as well get used to the idea as his Aravi fancied this guy more then anything else on this earth, even more then me he thought ruefully as the intruder stepped out.
It was shocking, the effect sunlight always had on this guy. Armaan thought seeing aravi stare at him open-mouthed as she always did. He left her bedazzled she told him. As if so Armaan thought grumpily. But Armaan had to admit this guy was something. His skin was white, terribly pale as though derived from sunlight for years and yet it literally sparkled like thousands of tiny diamonds embedded in the surface.
Argh!! Enough. The last thing I need is to admire a guy I detest Armaan thought as he saw his Aravi lurch forward and flung her arms around his neck too with great force except it would never knock this intruder off balance, because he wasn't just human Armaan gritted.
"Edwaaaard!!" she almost screamed.
"You made it." She looked at him glowingly.
"I had to." He drawled in a silky smooth voice that made Armaan's skin prickle.
"Yes you had to, Armaan is just going to start with his bike riding lessons, oh Edward I m so thrilled, Armaan teaching me how to ride a bike, I still cant believe it." Armaan smiled again seeing her dreamy look. Surely she preferred him over this '.this'..oh whatever he thought biting his tongue.
"Yes yes''.though I doubt it's a splendid idea" Edward drawled darkly.
"Oh Eddie trust him, I trust him he will keep me perfectly safe, wont you Armaan'..?" Aravi looked at him hopefully.
"Ofcourse I will''.as if I will allow you to fall." Armaan shook his head as though the though itself was offensive.
"If you do that,I am here." Edward murmured looking into Armaan's eyes, his eyes dark, not quite golden as Aravi had described. That definitely meant, Armaan couldn't help but gulp, Edward was hungry, oops thirsty!!
"Come on Aru, you need to experience these human pleasures." He thrust out his head and pulled her close to him.
"And I am here to see she is safe while trying to experiment with such dangerous human pleasures!!" Edward vowed.
"Stupid shiny Volvo owner." Armaan swore under his breath.
"What did you say Armaan?" Aravi asked him sharply.
"Nothing nothing."
Aravi smiled seeing both her knights looking at each other grudgingly. She loved this feeling of being the prized possession of them both.
The training started. They were on a hillside road. Winding upwards towards a cliff. Edward certainly wasn't approving of this road either. What's with these other hero's? First Jacob teaches his Bella and now Armaan. Argh!!
"One two three start." He snapped back his attention to the live session going on in front of him. Armaan was leaning close to her. She was sitting her legs firmly stuck on either sides of the bike. Armaan was holding or rather supporting her from the side as parents would while teaching their children a bicycle. But oh man this was a racing bike. What if she fell??
"Ok this is the gear, this is the brake, accelerator. You just have to press these handles down. Ok?" Aravi gazed up lovingly at his face. He was so handsome, her Armaan. Gorgeous to distraction.
"Armaan I won't fall right?" she asked him uncertainly as she felt him lean away a little, taking away his firm support.
"I won't ever allow that'." Armaan promised fervently kissing her forehead.
"And I'll suck out his blood if he does, came a growl from behind.
"Ofcourse you will, you are very much capable enough." Armaan gritted. Aravi barely managed to suppress a giggle.
"Ok Aravi I am leaving you, once I kick start it, you just need to concentrate straight ahead on the road, keeping the controls in mind." Armaan warned.
"Ok one, two''.broommmmmmm" the bike roared to life and Aravi felt warm swells to excitement flowing through her as she felt the shuddering engine beneath her and pressed down the accelerator. ALAS!!!!
"THUD!!!"
"Aruu." Armaan roared and jumped forward, almost reaching in time and they tumbled together on the ground as Aravi lost her balance,faling straight into his arms!!
Aravi stared into his deep. Deep, mesmerizing ones, they always fascinated her. They had this mischievous glint but it was censored with sharp intelligence and maturity that reflected through his eyes.
The eyes locking session??? Edward stared at the live scene in front of him. One aspect he always failed to understand was, long lasting eye locking sessions. True he did the same but still''''
"Ahem ahem'" he growled making his presence felt.
Aravi broke the locking session and tried scrambling up taking hold of his outstretched hand.........
Her cheeks turning pink and she smiled shyly at Armaan. He winked back much to Edward's annoyance.
"Shall we continue towards achieving what we are here for?" he icily reminded Armaan.
"Yes yes'."
"So Aravi once more, last time you pressed down the accelerator down too fast, this time we take it slowly." Armaan instructed her.
"Yes boss." She giggled.
"Once more she falls, you had it." came an icy warning from behind.
"Oh Edward, Armaan is teaching me because I coaxed him too, don't be so hard on him."
"Armaan is big enough to know that he shouldn't be giving bike lessons to delicate girls like you, specially not on a hillside road."
"You feel all the girls around are delicate Edward, because they are human, or rather say, you feel all human girls are delicate for you." Armaan scathingly bit in.
"Whatever, yes I do feel that way and that's the reason I am here, to take care of my Aravi."
"Your Aravi?" Armaan looked at him thunderously.
"Can we please go back to bike lessons?" Aravi stepped in looking at them both dolefully.
"One more try, that's it" Edward warned.
"Yes, fine." Armaan agreed.
"One, two''"
"THUD"!!!!!
"Aravi'" Armaan groaned but halted seeing Edward reach her faster. With a nano second he was there supporting her, as the bike fell down with a huge thud.
"That's it." Edward roared, still holding Aravi, now in his arms, carrying her though she weighed a few grams.
"Showoff." Armaan muttered as Edward finally set her down.
"Now you wont'..wont teach me Armaan?" Aravi looked him reproachfully.
"Not today, its enough for today honey." Armaan shrugged his shoulders and gazed at her apologetically.
"Oh no'''''I messed it up!!" Both the men looked at her alarmed as tears threatened to roll down any minute.
"But we have a surprise for you to make up for this." Armaan smiled pulling her out of Edward's hold and hugging her.
"Surprise?" Aravi gazed up at him, her eyes wide open.
"Yes. A surprise." Edward drawled his lip curving into a lazy smile.
"That's the reason I agreed to tolerate this inhuman friend of yours." Armaan sighed looking at the sheer beauty emanating from him.
"Yes, same here, or I would have loved to suck'."
"Shhh." Aravi placed a finger on his cool lips and smiled.
"I am honored you both got together for me today''where is the surprise?" She asked looking at them expectantly. And edged closer to Edward and whispered.
"You don't drink human blood." She reminded him and received a dazzling smile in return.
"Come with me." Armaan offered getting on the bike.
"No she's coming with me." Edward argued.
"She fears your reckless driving. She would prefer a human drive her." Armaan bit out scathingly.
"I'll carry her then'" Edward offered.
"Oh no, your running will breath out the life from her. Shes coming with me." Armaan decided and firmly marched her to the bike, making her sit behind him, firmly securing her hands along his waist.
"Off we go'" he exclaimed.
"See you there." Edward reminded as he ran forward.
******************************
A few minutes later.
"Armaan where are we?" Aravi whispered feeling his palms covering her eyes and yet feeling the sunlight warm her skin.
"Surprise!!!" she heard both of them simultaneously.
Aravi stood frozen as she looked around. She was here in a meadow. Edward's meadow!!! She gasped in instant recognition. The meadow was small, perfectly round, and filled with wild flowers. There was a faint gurgling of a stream somewhere.
Her gaze locked on the two men in front of her. They stood by side, grinning, and one outshining the other she thought.
"So we'." Armaan started.
"Brought you here'" Edward nodded.
"To make this day a memorable one''"Armaan continued.
"As it is''a very special day''"
"A VERY VERY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY ARAVI" they spoke in chorus.
*****************************************
The last thing she remembered before her alarm went off was hugging them both together unable to crush either of them.
Aravi smiled lazily opening her eyes, her dream had been the most beautiful gift. And nothing could make her forget it ever, as it was her birthday!!
*******************************************
