Destined to a Gangster

Chapter 8 - Pink Baby Doll

Raghav

"Whiskey neat"

"Yes Sir"

Raghav looked around the hotel restaurant without actually looking. He didn't know why he was here. He didn't feel like eating. Neither did he want to socialize. Drinking at home wound be preferable but with Kriti at home. His refuge was taken away. He turned away from hum of the diners and focused on his drink. His thoughts straying to Pallavi.

For the first time he wasn't sure of something. Though he told Pallavi confidently about getting her in bed. He wasn't so sure. He had a feeling she would resist him and no amount of cliched romancing would change her mind. To get her he will need to figure out her weakness. Everyone had a weakness even him. What was Miss Pallavi Deshmukh's weakness.

"Raghav, what a surprise"

Raghav turned around to see Richa approaching the bar. She was dressed to impress. Her low cut dress and high heels would make any man in the room turn to look at her. In fact as he looked her shoulder he could see many admiring her.

"Richa"

He did not stand up or even helped her into a seat. No one expected him to be a gentleman and he never was.

"Are you here for a meeting?"

"No."

"You looked stressed. Anything I can do?"

Raghav didn't need her hand on his arm or the suggestive look on her face to know what she was offering. He moved his hand off the counter knocking her hand off.

"I am busy"

He got up, threw some notes down and left without a backward glance or any remorse. His driver was waiting out in the front just like he had expected.

"Deshmukh house"

Within 20 mins they were parked outside of the house. He waited another ten minutes. Before he set his plan in action.

Taking out his phone he texted Pallavi.

"Hi sweetheart"

He waited for a response. When he didn't get a response grew angry.

"Pallavi there is only so much I am willing to take. Ignoring me is not a option. I know you have your phone"

Raghav waited. He knew she would reply now.

"What do you want?"

"You! But for now I will settle for cup of coffee. I am waiting outside"

He looked at the house. As expected the she came to one of the windows to check. It was an upstairs window.

"No"

"Either you come out or I come in. I am okay with either"

He waited again. In the short time he knew Pallavi he has waited for her more times then he did for anyone else. He stepped out of the car impatient and parting surprised that she didn't come. When he saw her walking out in a plain orange saree. He wondered why she always wore a saree when someone as young as her would wear American clothing or even just a kurta. She looked both sides of the street even though she saw him standing near the car. Raghav guessed she was making sure no one saw her. As she approached him he opened the car door - another first for him. She gave him a angry look that only made him want to kiss her. She did not get in the car.

"Is this how you get your way Mr Rao - blackmail."

"I don't like to be ignored"

"Did you think I might not have my phone?"
