BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

3- Tattoo on her Left thigh

At night, he enters the room shutting the door behind.

She sat at the dressing table wearing her see-through night gown, combing down her curly long hair.

He smirks and pulls his tie open.

Then walking closer to her, he caressed her shoulders with his hands.

Then bending down, he picks her up in his arms.

"You are so impatient today..." She smiles

"Of course I am. I have waited for this since morning..." he growls.

Then dropping her on the bed, he takes his shirt off and goes down on her.

He spreads her legs apart then immediately buries his face between them.

Her smell turned him on so bad...

Holding her legs apart, he devoured her wet flower below.

His hands caressed her soft thighs, then moved his lips up to land kisses on them

He removed his face for a second.

The night lamp shone dimly

And it revealed a tattoo on the inner corner of her left thigh.

Obviously, He had seen it before too.

He remembers back to the first time he saw it.

On their suhaag raat, he was extremely surprised to see such a thing...

A pure and innocent girl like her with a tattoo...?

That too in an intimate place like this?

"It's...It's just something stupid I did with my friend...please...please don't..." She cried covering her face in shame.

On her white skin, there was a bold tattoo of a heart

And the words...

"SRI X ASH

"BFFs 2012"

Carved deeply inside the heart.

"What does this mean?" He asked looking at it curiously.

"Ah that- well that's just...It's something stupid I did back in college with my best friend." She struggled to explain.

"Best friend..?" He asks.

"Ah yeah, Sri is for Sristi and Ash is my bestfriend Aishwarya...BFFs means best friends forever."  She explains.

"Oh"

"Please forgive me...I only got it over there so that no one would see it..."

He forgives her.

But how could he forgive what came next?

She didn't bleed.

His mother had spread the white sheet below to check it.

But she didn't...

"This is my first time, please be gentle." She cries at the sudden penetration.

"Then why didn't you..."

But before he could complete his sentence, she kissed him in the lips.

Then wrapping her hands around his neck, she kissed him even deeper.

Ashish thought back to that time.

He thought he had forgotten that day, but that tattoo reminds him back.

She's the girl his family chose for him. Although it was an arranged marriage, he fell for her at first sight. Actually no sane man would ever reject a woman like her.

A perfect face, a perfect body.

She belonged to a good family, they were ready to pay the dowry too without any complaints.

She was a shy, soft spoken, well mannered girl.

She was religious, conservative and good at household duties.

Above all she was obedient.

She never talked back, she never raised her voice.

She was really all a man looked for in a wife.

But...

Sometimes that tattoo makes him feel complicated like this...

Like a mark of rebellion, that tattoo sat on her left thigh, bold and beautiful, in contrast to her soft white skin.

"Can't you remove this...?"  He asks rubbing the tattoo under his fingers.

"Huh?" Sristi was very surprised.

"This tattoo, I don't like it. I heard you can get tattoos removed through surgeries..." He says.

"NO! NEVER!"

He gets surprised at her sudden loud voice.

"No I mean...you know those take a lot of time and don't even work properly! It might even scar my skin more!" She explained nervously.

"Oh yeah, right...I don't want a scar on your body..." He says.

Then moving down again, he bites the tattoo on her thigh.

"Unless its a one I give..."

She shuts her eyes as tear drops swell up near their corners from the pain...

The pain is always hard to hide...

But she stays strong...

And by now she's very good at hiding.

Hiding behind a mask.

After he finishes, he lays down beside her.

Finally...

She was also waiting for him all day...

She was waiting to ask him....

She was dying to ask him that question!

Who was that woman on the phone this morning?

Who is Miss Gupta??

But right when she's about to ask...

"Oh right! before I forget..." He says.

"What is it?"  She asks impatiently.

"I will be having some important guests over tomorrow for dinner. Make sure to prepare the best dishes for them!"

"Oh okay. How many people are you having over?"

"Around 4, just my friends" he says.

"Oh, okay!" She smiled.

"Oh and also..."

"Also?"

"You remember the the woman you talked to on the phone this morning?"

Her heart drops when he mentions her.

"She is Aishwarya Gupta, the owner of the beauty and makeup brand, Ash cosmetics " he says.

Her eyes widen with shock...

"She will be coming tomorrow too"
