And the jealousy continues...

Part III
NOW
"Hi Niki Mehek greeted politely, Niki smiled and pulled a chair out for her.
"Hi there, lamb, how are you? She asked hugging her, Mehek raised a brow at Niki's short dress.
"I am good, but are you not cold in that thing? She asked, Niki shrugged.
"Oh baby we are no longer in India here we can wear the latest fashions...
"I think I prefer my usual panjabi's Mehek said looking at the menu, she frowned. She was never good with English. Unlike Shaurya who read books size of pillars, in English. He loved watching those English shows too. Thinking about him made Mehek sad, she put the menu down.
"My english is not good Niki, would you please order for me? She asked her, Niki did not batter an eye lash.
"Would you like a milkshake lamb? She asked her, Mehek nodded. She did not feel like having one but, she did not want to ruin the mood.
A blond haired, blue eyed waiter stopped at their table and Niki spoke to him fluently. Niki began to laugh when he was gone.
"Oh god if Shaurya was here, darling he would have hit that boy
"Why is that?
"He said you are beautiful, and that if you are free he would not mind taking you out. Not fair Mehek back in collage, you had all the boys running after you and even after getting married to your Saiya you are still, give us single girls a chance Niki said laughing. Mehek shook her head.
"That is not true...
"It is, well partially true. Shaurya used to scare most of them away from you.
"What...
"My innocent little lamb, this is, why he loves you so much Niki said, wiggling her eye brows at Mehek. Who forced a smile. Now he never stayed longer than 15 minutes in the same room with her.
Mehek felt her eyes prick and stood up.
"Excuse me She said.
Mehek ran towards the bathrooms and stopped dead in her tracks. Shaurya was sitting at a table with a lady. Across the road at a much fancier restaurant.
What was he doing there? Mehek wondered. Was this where he went all the time. The woman took his hand. Mehek bit her lip, and a tear ran down her cheek.
She went back to Niki.
"I have to go home there is something wrong with the plumbing She lied. Niki stood up and got her jacket.
"Let me come with you
"No don't worry Niki I will be ok Mehek said, going out the door.
{}{}{}
Mehek paced. She picked the house phone and dialled Shaurya's number.
He did not answer, so she tried again.
"Hello He answered finally.
"Where are you? She asked him.
"At the hospital He answered. Mehek nodded, at the hospital her foot.
"Doctor Khanna is everything ok? She heard a feminine voice say, Mehek's fists clenched.
"Who is that? She asked, Mehek would not cry. She would not.
"Look Mehek I am busy is there something important you want Mehek wanted to punch him the face is what she wanted, cheating swine.
"Who is that? She asked again.
"Mehek I am busy I have no time...
The line went dead. Mehek tried to phone him back but he would not answer.
{}{}{}
Mehek waited near the door. When she heard the door open. Shaurya walked in, he had blueish black bruises under his eyes, and his beard was longer than usual.
"I have let you, hurt me day after day. I have allowed it because I know you were hurting. But if you let someone come between us Shaurya. I will leave Mehek said to him, her lips trembled as he glared at her.
She pointed to the pillows and blankets she had left on the softa.
"You will not sleep near me
He grabbed her wrist.
"And what pray I ask brought this on Mehek?
"I saw you today
"You went outside without my permission
"I went to see Niki
"You are not allowed outside without my permission
"I will not be treated like a doll which you use as a punching bag Shaurya, I am sorry for what happened but this cannot go on like this. Who was that woman?
"What woman
"The one who was holding your hand Mehek said hitting his arm. He grabbed her wrist to stop her from hitting him again.
"It is not what you think. Don't be stupid Mehek
"Mehek is always stupid. I am not if this is your way of getting revenge because I did not want to run away with you then I will not allow it. I will leave
Mehek went towards the door, he held his hand above her head holding it shut firmly.
"Then listen well Mehek. If you leave once that is it. You can never come back! Do I make myself clear He stepped back and went to the couch and sat down.
Mehek closed her eyes and went past him into their room. She felt her pride being squashed with every step she took.
{}{}{}
1 year ago.
"God Mehek, I told you I don't want him near you!
"Well I am not your girlfriend anymore so you don't have to worry
Mehek felt him grab her so roughly that she was pressed to his chest like a doll.
"If I see him near you I will kill him, and as long as I breath you will always be mine
Mehek had never seen his gaze darken so dangerously.
"You heard wrong He exhaled.
"What?
"You heard only a part of it, I said that you were beautiful. God Mehek do you not understand how I feel about you? When I go to sleep I see you in my mind, when I wake up I put my phone on immediately just to make sure you are ok, when we are collage I think about all, of the flat surfaces you could trip on and get worried. When you don't reply to me, my blood pressure soars. Do you not still not understand how much I love you?
Mehek felt the hurt she had felt away slowly slip away. She wrapped an arm around his waist.
He kissed the top of her head.
"Stay away from Ajay he muttered under his breath.
"Ok
{}{}{}
A week later.
"I cannot wear that Niki; my parents would not let me out of the house. Mehek said holding the dress, which more resembled a shirt. The bodice was transparent and the it probably would have not covered her bottom.
"Come on Mehek, it's my party I cannot have you wearing a suit to my party. Don't wear it from home just come and put it on here Niki loved dresses.
Mehek glanced at her watch, Shaurya would be coming to pick her up soon.
"Mehek, stop thinking about Doctor Khanna and help me pick my outfit now Niki said holding out some dresses. Mehek smiled and picked.
{}{}{}
1 day later.
"Niki this is too short Mehek said tugging the end uncomfortably, Niki had made her look far more beautiful than she could have imagined herself. She had dark eyes and pretty, red lips.
"You look good
"I can see my bra Niki, what will people think?
"Oh its sexy you, just shut up and wear it
"Niki come down Outside Vicky was calling her, Mehek did not want to leave the room just yet. She wished she could out on something on to cover her.
"Come down when you ready love, I am going to greet everyone She said going out the door. Mehek heard a gasp and turned and saw Shaurya looking at her with hooded eyes. He whistled.
"You have never worn such small clothes before He said, touching the end of her dress. Mehek took a step back. And pushed his hand away.
"Niki thought it looks good
"She is right He said.
Shaurya was wearing brown blazer and white shirt. He reached out and grabbed the sides of her waist.
He held her at arm's length. His eyes lingered over her legs and chest.
"I was thinking maybe we should stay here He said making her sit on Niki's bed. Mehek felt the dress creep higher, Shaurya did not miss it either.
"Why?
"I don't want anyone to see you in that dress he said. Mehek looked at him confused.
"I thought you said I looked good in it
"You do but I don't want anyone else to see you in it. I might have to beat people up He went to the door and locked it putting the key in his pocket.
Mehek shook her head at him.
"You are so... Mehek started off.
"Handsome? he asked taking her hand and pressing it to his cheek.
"Silly Mehek said pulling her hand away.
He sat down next to her.
"Do you know what I want to do? He asked her, Mehek shook her head no.
He pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.
The dress was so thin, she could feel the hardness of his erection against her bottom. Mehek squirmed trying to get up but he just tightened his hold on her.
"Be still, otherwise I won't be able to control myself He said, Mehek felt the prickle of his beard against her cheek. Mehek stilled herself and tried to ignore the sensation she felt being so intimately close to him.
