Sweet Surrender

●Amara●

I felt some liquid on my hand while it was on Advik's shoulder. I thought it might be sweat because this closeness to him was doing things to me that I didn't want at all. I proceeded to swipe it off with my handkerchief that I had in my sling bag, but when I saw my hands, my eyes sort of popped out of their sockets. It was blood. My hand was covered in blood.

"What in the hell -" I almost shouted, but Advik put a hand on my mouth, indicating me to keep quiet. I just nodded, still shocked, he lead us away from the dance floor, and we were going into the mansion.

"Advik, is there a problem?" Mrs. Sorrentino asked. She is kind of aloof and a little sad the most of the times I have seen her.

"Mom, I was just showing Amara the washroom." he said and then again started dragging me with him. Am I a suitcase or what? That he keeps dragging me on.

He led us into the kitchen and then faced me.

"I believe that you won't tell anyone about this." He stated, pointing at my hand.

"I am not mad. But, how did you get shot?" I asked him.

"While coming here, some men attacked us, and that's how I got shot." He replied. He looked at all the servants present there, and they all visibly flicked under his gaze, bowing their heads down.

"Out." He said, and everyone ran away for their life.

"So, medication or hospital, ever heard of that?" I asked.

"Went to the hospital before coming here, that's why I was late." He replied, taking out first aid kit.

"If you would excuse me now, I need to call Myra to take care of the wound." He said and took out his phone.

"Yeah, perfect way to ruin her evening too." I muttered.

"Sorry?"

"I was saying that I will be glad to help if you consider not ruining her evening." I said a little loud.

"If you say so." He said and pocketed his phone back. Woah, that was easy, peasy.

"Take off your shirt." I said nonchalantly, looking through the first aid box.

"Are you trying to get me naked, Ms. Kashyap?" he asked me with a smirk.

"Don't flatter yourself so much, Mr. Sorrentino, I work around male models all day, I have seen better." I said with a sweet smile.

"But, you haven't seen me yet, maybe I will be able to change your mind, Amara." He said, coming closer to me.

"Shirt off now and face the other side." I said, hoping onto the counter to sit.

Oh God, his body was like carved by God himself, eight packs and toned back. It was like I was looking at a sculpture from heaven. I was hypnotized by his chiseled chest and eight packs until he spoke again.

"Like what you see, Ms. Kashyap?" 

Heat crawled up to my cheeks, I could practically feel myself turning red and hot. I put a slight hand on my cheek to hide all the redness from this particular species of man.

"Turn around, or I will stab that chiseled chest of yours." I said wanting to be stern.

He turned around, but that didn't stop him from teasing me further.

"So you think it's good, right?" He said.

In response, I dabbed the cotton with antiseptic a little into the wound. He hissed, but that got him to shut his mouth at least.

"Mission accomplished, Mr.Sorrentino." I said, hopping off the kitchen counter.

"Call me Advik, Amara. We aren't that formal now." He said with a teasing smirk.

"Sure, now I am going, and you better come up with a good explanation about being Mr. India from the party." I said and walked a little.

"Just so you know, I still hate you. You ruined my day off." I said again and walked into the lawn. See, I told ya that he is going to listen to it every time he wants or not.

"Where the hell were you from last 15 minutes?" Vanya almost jumped on me.

"Easy there miss, I was just inside urr...using washroom and has cake on my dress I don't know how. So just washing that." I said as Myra, Arjun, and Nikolai were also staring at me.

Vanya gave me a suspicious eye. "I will tell you later." I whispered to her, and she smiled, knowing she won, and I could never ever hide anything from her.

Advik came out after a good ten minutes, but we didn't talk. He was majority time with Arjun, and I was talking to Myra and Vanya. When Kashish came and said she wanted me to meet her friends.

"Okay, I just wanna show you off." She said, finally chuckling.

"Trust me, honey, I don't have anything that you can show off." I said to her, but she dragged me nonetheless.

"Guyss, meet my friend, Amara Di." She said to everyone.

All her friends sure were jealous and some were even whispering mean things when she wasn't listening. I just know because I was standing just behind them. Like how does Kashish have all these snakes.

"Amara Di, meet my best friend, Ayush." Kashish said dragging me to a boy of her age.

"Hi Ayush, nice to meet you." I said.

"Di, don't be so formal. I am Nikolai's little brother in case you haven't recognized me yet." He said chuckling.

"Oh my god, you were just a toddler when I left. How in the world I would have recognized you." I said laughing too.

"Wooow you know two each other, wonderful." Kashish said bouncing with happiness.

I smiled at her and made way to Advik.

"Advik, I think that Kashish is riding high on sugar rush. May be you should end the party now." I suggested, he peeked around my shoulder to see Kashish bouncing up and down.

"I think you are right." He said and walked away to talk that man who was with him in mall too, the uniform one. And in five minutes, everyone started exiting the lawn until it was just us left.

"Kashish your gift would arrive tomorrow." Vanya said.

"Whyyyy? Why not today?" She whined.

"Umm, it's a little big to carry it ourselves." I said giving her a sweet smile and she too grinned.

"You don't know Vanya and Amara Di, how much I am grateful to have met you. My brother here is always busy, Myra di is fun but she rarely comes to see me. Arjun bhai takes me out a bit and Ayush is the only source of happiness right now. My school friends are no good, all they do is gossip and bitch behind my back." She said with tears.

"No tears birthday girl. We are here, we will have fun." Vanya said.

"Leave your boring brother, we will travel and have sooo much fun together." I too said to cheer her up.

She nodded, hugged us and waved goodbye before going inside.

"Mr. Sorrentino, we will take your leave now." I said, he gave his famous glare and I corrected, "Advik." 

Vanya too nodded and we left this palace cum home. No kidding, it was really a palace for me.
