Sanyukta~
"W-What..?" I heard myself stuttering and my eyes instantly widened as the impact of his words dawned upon me. It took me a minute or two to register what he had spoken. My heart was almost on the verge of exploding.
He was looking at me intensely. He was staring right into my eyes. The intensity of his gaze then was nowhere near to his regular charming glint. My eye lashes lowered involuntarily, not being able to withstand his torturous stare. His expression was..er..different..strange. And it was weird that I felt rather absurdly uncomfortable under that unknown gaze of his. Butterflies invaded my stomach and my heart clenched with a surge of excitement. Shy would be the proper word. And there my inner self was on again.
"Sanyukta.." His husky whisper hit me right on the sensitive veins.
I inched my lashes up to meet his gaze.
"What are you doing to me?" He almost groaned in a sexy way which set on tiny sparks in my stomach. Simultaneously, I felt his lips graze over my right earlobe and I gasped. His hold around my stomach tightened at my reaction as he planted a chain of kisses down from my earlobe till my jaw. No boy, what are YOU doing to me? I was reeling in the unknown blast of pleasure throughout my body when he flipped our position such that I was lying under him, our torsos clashed and his lips continued the sweet torture against the skin of my jaw. His kisses dropped down till my neck and I could feel the wet trial of his lips through my jawline and beneath my ear. I could do nothing but whimper and suck in air rapaciously as my mind went on a vacation for those seconds, under his touches.
I felt as if my body was floating in midair, just like a fragile feather. Only he could make me feel like that. He, the boy I despised from the core of my heart even up till few months ago, the boy who had the sole power to get on my nerves with a single smirk, Randhir Singh Shekhawat , I was falling hard for him with every action of his and I had no way to escape that.
In no time, I totally freaked out at the thought and pushed him off my body. I breathed in air, urgently and sat up from that position. I couldn't do that! He didn't even say that he liked me! I couldn't go under him and make a complete idiot out of myself when he didn't even voice out his feelings for me yet. Heck, he was my first ever crush and even my first kiss. I couldn't afford being heartbroken by him.
I straightened my composure and tucked the loose strands of my hair behind my ear. I could tell without even viewing a mirror, that I completely resonated a beetroot then! Warm sensations flew through my neck as I blushed hard reminiscing the act a moment ago.
"Fück.." I heard him cuss under his breath as he snaked his palm through his lustrous mane. Oh how much my hands were itching to do that! Gliding through his jet black hairs and tugging at them occasionally until he moaned my name out! Uh oh. Did I just imagine a make out session with him? Okay, good bye Sanyukta Aggarwal. Have a safe journey to hell!
"I am so sorry.. I didn't mean to freak you out Sanyukta.." He sat up from the bed and turned towards me, his eyes turned mild and gentle. It was hard to believe that those pupils were contracted to a deep shade of black few moments ago.
"Um.. I guess I should leave now..." I bit my lower lip hard, trying hard not to show him that I was so damn flushed then. His words saying that he had recently got the dragon body changed implying that he had deliberately entangled my name with his, made me shiver. Why did he do that? Did that mean he also felt the same way she had started feeling for him? Did he like her? Was he going to ask her out? Was he going to ask her to be his girlfriend? Okay brain stop brainstorming!
"Yeah, maybe..." I heard him mutter under his breath. Uh-oh? I didn't realise that I had been gazing at him with raised eyebrows, questioningly, until I felt him eyeing me confusingly. Heck! I was secretly wishing him not to let me go. I instantly jolted my gaze away from him and stood up. He looked at me weirdly.
"You..you should start packing.." The dishevelled unpacked bag on the floor and half open closet caught my eyes. Of course I had to change the subject to dilute the awkwardness in the air. Duh.
"Yeah.." He scratched the back of his neck and stood up next to me, smiling sheepishly. I stifled a chuckle.
"Um okay then.. Bye.." I tried to smile a bit at him and ran my palm over my thigh to remove the invisible creases on my pant. I fiddle when I tend to get nervous okay?
"Yeah.." what the heck was wrong with him? He seemed to be on a 'yeah' spree. My inner self sighed big time. Few minutes before, he was being all cocky and stuff and had a girl-well, me- pinned into his bed but his behaviour said a whole different story then. Could he be nervous? Was he nervous? Hell yeah he was! Randhir Singh Shekhawat was indeed nervous and I didn't know why the thought induced a goofy smile on my face. Well, he was nervous, because of me! Yay! I affected him as much as he affected me! That reason was pretty much adequate for me do a little crazy dance on my head but my uberly obnoxious inner self decided to shut it off right then. He had asked you the same thing while you were pinned into his bed, you doofus!
"What are you doing to me Sanyukta?" His exact words suddenly rang a bell in my mind and I felt my cheeks heat up. Oh boy, I was falling hard!
Just as either one of us was going to make a move, his room door burst open and a tiny angel fairy ran inside and jumped right into Randhir's body and that made me realize that even after bidding farewell, my body hadn't made any movement to move out of his room. I was standing on the same spot, with my eyes fixed on the floor, grinning like an idiot. Okay, I was also exaggerating about fairies and stuff but the little girl who looked like three or four, and who jumped into Randhir's arms, no doubt looked like one-a very cute chubby fairy. I was certainly taken aback at the sudden intrusion-not that I minded-it surely helped big time to cut through the intensity of the situation.
Randhir had to stagger behind, few steps at the force of her hug and he took her in his arms, laughing and twirling her. He had that big smile on his face while the chubby fairy giggled, hiding her face on the crook of his neck. I stood in front of them, smiling awkwardly.
"Amy, when did you arrive?" Randhir exclaimed adjusting her in his arms after the twirling session.
"Ron I micched you cho-much.." The chubby fairy clasped her tiny arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. I kept looking at them amusingly. Randhir Shekhawat with a baby wrapped in his arms and his happy face with those tiny yet deep dimples showing of, (which by the way, only appeared when he used to smile genuinely-and I had had the privilege to experience the glimpses of them quite a few times, though I feel weird myself) was a rare sight.
"I missed you too Amy.." He caressed her head when she turned back to look at me. Her tiny lips curled up into a cute little grin when she sighted me that I couldn't help but reciprocate her grin.
Randhir smiled when he saw her eyeing me.
"Sanyukta this is Amaya, my Amy and my cousin.." He exclaimed and I nodded smilingly.
"She's so cute.."
"Yeah, she is my favorite girl. But don't get caught up in her cuteness. She can be a fussy little ball of mischief for you when you are in her good books.." I chuckled when Amaya pinched both his cheeks hard, immediately catching up that he was bad mouthing her. Amaya appeared to be smart for her age.
As if on cue, Randhir answered my to the query in her mind.
"She's four, turning five within a month and I guess she had pestered my aunt enough to let her visit me for her birthday. Now, haven't you?" he turned back towards Amaya who was playing with a button of his tee, not looking at him in the eye and her lips were formed into a pout. He sighed and looked back at me.
"See? She uses this pout to get anything and everything..!" I giggled eyeing the duo, realising that I had moved closer to them while conversing.
Amaya twisted her body under his arms to get out of his hold and Randhir put her down. Amaya ran towards me and tugged at my cardigan's hem before looking back at Randhir.
"Hey angel.." I cooed caressing her silky baby hairs.
"Ron, iz che your galfend?"
My jaws dropped instantly at her query and I looked at Randhir with wide eyes, who appeared to be equally shocked. What? That was a four year old for God's sake!
"Gir...girlfriend?" I knelt down to match her height and took her tiny pink self into my arms. She was looking back at me with her inquisitive and large chocolate brown orbs.
She was so cute! I could practically pack and take her home with me. I had been fairly well with kids, considering my babysitting sessions for the two kids of the aunty living next door to my apartment. My Mum had always asked me to behave politely with her since she used to help me with the chores when I came to live alone in my grandparents' apartment. I couldn't turn her down when she had once asked me to keep a check on her son and daughter who were of Amaya's age because she had to go somewhere urgently. I instantly clicked with the kids and always looked forward to meet and babysit them. They were two bundle of joys and right then standing in front of me was another bundle of joy who was then beaming at me.
"No baby.. She's a girl who is my friend.." I was fairly shocked to find Randhir crouched down next to me so that we both were facing Amaya who was on my lap then, looking at us with wide eyes as if trying to interpret his words. He was so close to me that I could practically feel the heat radiating from his body. A movement from either of us and we'll again land up against each other awkwardly. His reply though made me feel relieved, yet a tiny portion--a teeny-weeny portion of my 'Randhir-Swooning' heart, fell.
"Ow, Whatcha name?" Amaya asked me in her wobbly voice and I bobbed her nose lightly.
"My name is Sanyukta.. You can call me Sany, though I highly doubt that too.." I heard Randhir chuckle beside me and looked up to see him gazing us with adoration. Okay not us actually, Amaya only.
"Channy.." She clapped her tiny hands and looped her arms around my neck.
"See?" I nudged Randhir and he laughed.
"You'll be ma fend?"
She dipped her head and pecked my cheek.
"I am your friend" I rocked her in my lap before pulling her closer to me.
"Amy like Channy.." she beamed.
"Channy like Amy too.." I kissed her nose.
"Hey this is unfair.. Who likes me then?" Randhir chimed in with a pout on his face which looked heavily dramatic, especially on his face. Okay he looked cute. Cute enough for me to want to click thousands of his pictures right then and look through them every night before going to sleep. Overboard? Nah, that's what love does to you.
Wait? Did I say love? Ohmygod!
I am in deep shit!
"Ow, Amy likey Rony .." Amaya pecked his cheeks by extending her body towards him, in turn making my back crash against his shoulder. Randhir grinned at Amaya before leaning in towards my left ear, his right hand creeping around my waist, making me gasp.
"And what about Channy?" he whispered while smirking against my skin that I felt a shiver run down my spine.
"Oh I know..." he blew a hair strand from my neck before adding dramatically. I rolled my eyes.
*Drumrolls*
"She likes me too.." He kissed my left before turning towards Amy. I felt all blood drain down my face. What in actual hell? Did he just state that I like HIM?
"Randhir..." We stopped talking for once when we noticed his room door open again and a women probably in her forties walk inside the room.
"Mom.." Randhir stood up from the floor leaving me and Amaya still sitting there with Amaya sitting on my lap with her legs crossed around my waist. I instantly froze but hurried up from the floor with Amaya hanging against my frame. Randhir's mom? Oh good god! I should have packed my bags for the trip to hell, because it appeared to be coming into reality soon then!
