Liar Liar

9.

Dhara di called Raavi in the morning and asked her to come to Pandya house. Raavi couldn't say no. Ever since she'd kissed Shiva last night, she didn't know how to face him. What was their relationship status right now? Were they friends? Were they enemies? Were they lovers? Or were they just two people who loved kissing each other? She didn't know the answer herself and what was stressing her out the most was that she didn't know what was going on in Shiva's mind. What was he thinking right now?

Raavi gathered her courage and went to Pandya house. She found Dhara in the aangan serving tea to everyone. She invited Raavi in and asked her to sit. Shiva's eyes landed on her and she blushed.

"Aa gayi gadheri." He said.

Raavi was shocked. He had the audacity to look at her face and call her gadheri right after kissing her? She glared at him.

"Ise maine hi bulaya hai." Dhara said. "Kitne dino se yaha nahi aayi. Aaj Sunday ka din bhi hai. Socha iske saath baithke main aaj baatein karungi."

"Achha kiya aapne Dhara di." Raavi smiled. "Waise bhi kuch logo ko meri aane ki khushi sirf raat ko dukan mein hi hoti hai."

Shiva almost spit up his tea. He glared at Raavi who gave him an extra sweet smile. Suddenly someone started coughing loudly and Raavi noticed it was Dev who had gone red.

"Kya matlab?" Dhara asked.

"Kuch nahi Dhara di. Aapka devar ek number ka bhoothnath hai." Raavi said.

She ignored the death glare she was receiving from Shiva and concentrated on talking to Dhara di instead. Raavi told her everything that had been going on in her life, except a few details which had messed up her life right now. That was the real gossip, but she couldn't discuss that with her Dhara di.

When Dhara excused herself to go and prepare lunch for them, Shiva saw his opportunity and dragged Raavi to the storeroom. He pinned her against the wall roughly, looking absolutely mad.

"Ae maami ki behen ki beti, teri akkal ghaas chadhne gayi hai kya? Kya bol rahi thi sabke saamne?"

"Sach toh boli main. Kal raat kitna khush ho raha tha maine feel kiya tha." Raavi's eyes slid down to his crotch and Shiva blushed.

Shiva was absolutely surprised to see this bold version of Raavi. He liked this Raavi. Her hands automatically went around this neck and Shiva felt this urgent need to kiss her again. But last night he had promised himself that he wouldn't take any rash actions. He didn't know where this was headed or what Raavi wanted from him.

Raavi forgot all about her dilemma the second she was in his arms. She touched his neck weakening his resolution. When she kissed him on his collar bone, Shiva pulled her away.

"Ruk." Shiva stopped her. "Kya kar rahi hai?"

"Kal raat ka repeat telecast." Raavi smiled and kissed his cheek, and then the corner of his mouth.

"Aur kal raat ko jo humare beech hua uska matlab kya tha?" Shiva asked.

"Ab matlab ki kya zaroorat Shiva... Mujhe kiss achha laga. Tujhe bhi achha laga. Toh problem kya hai?" Raavi said, cupping his cheek.

"Ae maami ki behen ki beti, main teri tarah itna hormonal nahi hu. Main sirf inn cheezo ke liye tere saath aisa nahi karunga." Shiva said.

"Shivaaaaa please..." Raavi tried her puppy eyes. "Hum matlab ke baare mein baat karenge."

"Abhi karenge aur koi matlab nahi hua toh yeh nahi chalega."

"Shiva tu kaisa hai." Raavi frowned. "Ladkiyaan aise commitment maangti hai. Ladke nahi. Baaki ladko do dekh, commitment free rehna chahte hai."

"Toh tu jaa na unke paas." Shiva shouted angrily. "Kiss koi bhi kar lega tujhe."

Raavi hit him on the chest. "Tu kya samajhta hai mujhe? Main kisiko bhi kiss karungi?" She continued hitting him. "Sirf tujhi ko kiss karna hai mujhe. Kisi aur ke baare mein soch bhi nahi sakti."

Shiva smiled hearing that. Atleast it wasn't just hormones. He could live with that. He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. "Achha sorry.." He kissed her forehead.

"First galti thi isiliye maaf kar rahi hi easily." Raavi said. "Chal tujhe commitment diya. Par meri girlfriend waali saari demands maanni paregi. Aur mujhe dates pe le jayega tu. Aur kissing ya kisi bhi aur cheez mein no roktok."

Shiva smirked and pulled her closer slamming his lips against hers. He slid his tongue inside her and she mimicked his movement. His arm went around her waist and with the other, he continued to explore her body by moving it up and down. Raavi's hands went under his vest, feeling his abs.

He nibbed at her lower lip and she moaned. His lips slid down to her neck. He started leaving open mouthed kissed down her neck and Raavi arched her neck back to give him more access. She kept moaning in pleasure.

Suddenly they heard a loud crash. Shiva left Raavi and turned around. It was Dev who'd knocked over a small drawer, looking really embarrassed. Raavi straightened her hair quickly and left the storeroom to talk to Dhara. Shiva was about to leave too but Dev stopped him.

"Shiva. Mujhe.. woh.. mujhe tujhse ek baar karni thi." Dev said.

Shiva combed his hair with his fingers and looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened just now. "Haa bol."

"Dekh Shiva main samajhta hu... Tum dono ka sab naya naya hai. Toh tum dono.... I mean control karna thoda mushkil hai." Dev had his eyes fixed on the almirah, so as to not look at his brother. His face matched the colour of a tomato, and he kept stammering. "I hope tum... Ghar pe sab hai toh thoda sa sambhal ke. Koi bhi aa sakta tha.... Aur I really hope tum dono... I mean protection use karna bohot zaroori hai. I hope tum... Main bada hu isiliye meri duty hai tujhe samjhana. Protection nahi liya toh bohot zyada gadbad ho sakti hai...."

Shiva couldn't believe his brother was giving him the sex talk. It was all because of that chipkali. He would've killed Dev right now if he hadn't looked so uncomfortable, and he deserved that for believing that chipkali over him.

"Tu samajh raha hai na Shiva?" Dev asked.

Shiva was furious at his brother for believing Raavi and for thinking he didn't have all the information himself. "Haa samajh raha hu. Par tujhe mujhe samjhane ki koi zaroorat nahi. Mujhe sab pata hai."

Dev turned a deeper shade of red. "Phir toh thik hi hai... Par abhi darwaza lock karna chahiye tha."

"Next time se lock kar lunga."

Dev quickly left after that and Shiva banged his head against the wall, thinking about how he had gotten into this mess. All thanks to his chipkali. Now his girlfriend.
