The Passionate Ego

25: REBEL

"Seriously you're an idiot" Nandini laughed, "But i love this. My vibe."

They both laughed dancing wierdly on the oh so not romantic couple dance song.

*****************************************************************************************

Nandini sat inside the car with no remarks as soon as the valet brought out their car. Manik stalled behind as he was kept busy and paused by various people bidding goodbye and not to forget the bitch, Katie. She wrapped her hands around his waist as she hugged him basically mocking Nandini with her act. But speaking of Nandini well she was on an immune mode after the night she spent here today. The only good thing about it had been Edward and their dance that she was gonna cherish forever as this day's memory.

Manik got in the backseat beside her and signalled the driver to move ahead, he looked beside him to notice an awfully silent Nandini who showed no interest in him since he sat they got back after the dance floor scenario. He was confused as to why she was behaving so wierd and cold towards him suddenly. Weren't they on their best mood tonight, dancing it out, arm in arm and that close touch. He could tell that everyone present at the ball tonight were super jealous of him for various reasons and one being this beautiful lady beside her in her perfect attire. He couldn't help but scowl at the expression and eyes each guy gave her, the way they had been eyeing her up till down. Least to say that he wanted to burn the hall on fire destroying each one of them.

"Hey you okay?" Manik asked her placing a hand over her thigh.

"Huh what?" Nandini asked him getting out of trance.

"I asked if you were fine or not? is something bothering you?" Manik asked again.

"Nope nothing. Just tired alot right now. Not a fan of heels and gowns." Nandini brushed it off trying to act all okay but Manik knew something was off but he was well aware that the current scenario was not okay to pester her for answers so he locked those questions down for a later time.

"okay. You can sleep on my shoulder if you want to?" he offered.

"No it's okay. We're gonna reach back home in no time." Nandini rejected his offer when her phone got pinged with a message.

Text me when you reach back home safely.

Nandini smiled at that one genuine person she had recently found in her life and how much he cared for her genuinely as a buddy and she can well notice that in her eyes. She replied back with a smile that didn't go unnoticed by the devil's eyes beside her and he wondered what lightened up her mood again so soon.

Ofcourse i will Eddie Teddie. And same goes for you too.

                                                                       - Nandini
