Hey Sweetheart

Chapter 31

Jay arrived after 15 minutes. Sameera and Maaya were sitting quietly while the other three were talking to the make-up artist when Jay entered that parlour. The first person whose eyes met his was Pihu. But he moved on to Sameera.
She who was sitting with her head Maaya's shoulder, sat up straight involuntary. Jay had the power to pin her on her place and only some people can do that. If she is remembering perfectly than there are only four people. First being her mum, second Shrithik, third Jay and fourth was the pomeranian dog of her neighbour whome she teases.

"Let's get going."
Jay said and turned around, breaking eye contact with Sameera. The girls followed after him till the elevator. But after coming out of the elevator, case was not the same.

Pihu, Madhu and Shrishti were at the front with Maaya a little after them. And then Jay and Sameera walked side by side slowly.

"You look exhausted." He stated and she looked up.

"I do?"
He nodded.

"Well I am. I'm tired you know. These girls forced me to get a facial, manicure, pedicure and what not. Do you know that I have never actually massaged my face? And now everything in one day has exhausted me."

Jay chuckled.
"You know you are really different from Madhu. She gets all these things done every month."

This time Sameera chuckled.
They have now exited the mall still in the same sequence.
Pihu turned around and started back walking and asked

"Jay Bhaiya! Where's the car?"

"In the parking lot of that apartment building. On that corner!"

"That far? It will take us five minutes to even reach there.!"

"There was no space here. Now keep quiet and walk properly!"
Pihu nodded and once again turned around occasionally smiling on the kids walking on the footpath.

"So do I look better? I've got these things done first time in my life."
Sameera asked jokingly rubbing her cheeks and then making a quite cute face.

He whipped his head up. What kind of question was that. First thing was that she was beautiful and second was even if she wasn't, why will anybody tell her that? Why?

Instead of replying he pulled her by her waist towards him. She was startled. She placed her hands on his shoulder and gripped them tightly to maintain her balance. With a mixed angry-confused expression she asked

"What are you-"
But she was cut off by a peck. On the lips. She looked at him in the eye breathing heavily. What did he just do?
Did he just kiss her? Goddamit she has known him for four days, he was her friend's cousin brother and they were standing on the footpath of a busy road.
She clenched her jaw looking at the slightly hesitant, slightly satisfied and slightly happy expression of Jay.
He was feeling every emotion. He was happy, sad, afraid, satisfied,and angry. He was angry on himself. Who the hell kisses a girl without her permission whome he has met mere four days ago.

Suddenly he pulled her more into his chest and turned them around causing his back to face the road. And then water splashed all over him. She hid her head slightly in his shoulder to prevent from getting wet, then looked up at him to find him breathing hard.
The water was ice cold. He already knew that a car was coming and was going to splash water, that's why he pulled her towards her, but he couldn't resist and lightly pecked her.
