AUTHOR 'S POV

CHAPTER 22

AUTHOR 'S POV

"Listen to me once keerthana!" Ashok said standing in front of keerthana who was leaning back on her bike with her hands folded across her chest.

She wore a black crop top with full sleeves and black torn jeans, her hair all free to dance.

Keerthana wanted to just hang out alone but how bad was her idea, she was now alone in front of her drunk ex who was trying to explain himself.

"Ashok! Let it Go When I said it's over! It's over and the more you keep nagging me the more trouble on your plate" keerthana spoke all calm and silent.

The dark silent night sky and the busy pub on the other side made the atmosphere balanced.

It felt surreal for Ashok to stand in front of her, she looked dashing, her hair grew a lot more and her eyes still glowing and that new shade of makeup called confidence looked so perfect on her that Ashok regretted cheating on her.

"Please keerthana!" Ashok whispered leaning towards her, keerthana suddenly felt a pang of fear not cause of the idea of Ashok getting close to her but it was the idea of Ashok himself.

A man who had mentally abused her for months can now even slap her or hurt her physically.

"Ashok stop!" Her words fell into deaf earings.

Ashok had already been just a foot away from her and his hands were on her neck, caressing her collarbone tattoo.

"Tara" the tattoo on her collarbone read all the words in small caps and just the A in the capital.

Tara means star and keerthana loved stars and that was the reason for the fucking tattoo 'A' being her favourite alphabet she had capitalist it but Ashok dared to brag around saying the tattoo was for him but he was wrong.

"For the sake of Lucifer in hell! Ashok this tattoo is not about you"

Keerthana wanted just a night free for herself to keep him away from her brain and the him here meant Arjun.

But then nah, she had to run over this handsome cow who once showed up in her sleep as her dream man.

Noticing him not moving away, keerthana tried to push his hands away and Ashok was quick enough to twist her hands behind her and push her to the nearby wall.

The rocky surface of the wall hit her face hard making her lips bleed and a tiny scratch on her forehead.

"FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE ASHOKKKK" She yelled gaining someone's attention.

"Listen to me once keerthana! I am sure you would want us to give us a chance" Ashok said

It was Arjun who just walked out of the pub with a cigarette in his mouth, hearing her voice his head immediately shot in her direction and watching the scene of some bastard hurting her made his blood boil.

Throwing the cigarette down, Arjun jogged towards them grabbed Ashok's hands and pulled him away from her.

Keerthana turned towards Ashok and raised her knees and hit his stomach Making him growel in pain falling on the road.

Arjun could not help but smile at her move.

"Ashok!" One of his friends called and helped him stand up from the road.

"BITCH YOU WILL REGRET THIS DAY!" Ashok yelled still in pain but kept walking away from them.

"Are you okay?" Arjun asked and that's when keerthana realised.

She was in the pub to forget about this man for a while and here he was standing in front of her looking like the man she would kill to date.

he was dressed up in a white tee and black torn pants.

She had the strong urge to run away and stay in a tent on the top of that hill eating chocolates and stargazing.

"I am! Thanks" she replied shortly pushing her hair behind her ears.

Arjun watched her closely, the way her cherry pink lipstick covered his favourite mole of hers and tempted him to remove the tint but his eyes fell on the corner of her lips watching blood stain.

He fisted his knuckles.

"Stay right here!" He warned before running away.

Keerthana did not argue, she was already tired and stunned by the sudden visit of Arjun.

Arjun who had visited the pub for the same FUCKING reason of keerthana
'get rid of her thoughts' ended up planning to ruin her lips once again.

Walking back to her, he saw her leaning to the wall with her one leg on the wall behind.

"Here!" Arjun said as she forwarded some cotton and bandages.

Keerthana accepted it and randomly tapped it on her lips when Arjun sighed, grabbing the cotton from her hands once again.

" I can do it myself," she said

"Saw how you did it" he replied as he held her jaw tightly and his other hand slowly, softly patted on the tiny blood spot.

His eyes focused on her lips, which were back to the original raw form just a tint of pinkishness.

It did not take a minute for keerthana to realise he was dangerously close to her and his perfume was so addictive that keerthana did not wanna stop breathing fearing she would miss it.

She looked at him being so serious in his and wondered how his rough lips would feel against hers.

He looked up and saw her looking away before he caught her staring at his face.

Arjun could read her thoughts and He could not let go his inner demon won and whisper 'FUCK'

He looked at keerthana and watched her close her eyes and take it as a sign of approval.

Arjun placed his rough lips in her soft ones, feeling the softness and suddenly in the need of wanting more of her, Arjun cupped her cheeks and deepened the kiss

Keerthana 's hands immediately made their way to his thick black hair, messing it up and equally keeping up with the kiss.

Standing on her toes to match his height and his hands slowly making way to her bare stomach not breaking the kiss

The way they kissed was something different, it was not soft but not rough too.

It was pure desire in their eyes and it was keerthana who broke the kiss from lack of oxygen.

Arjun and keerthana seemed like they understood what just happened and came out from an intoxicating desire for each other.

Keerthana looked like a mess, a perfect mess as Arjun imagined her.

Puffy, swollen lips with her hair all messy and eyes looking all around except his.

And Arjun looked more human than anything.

"It's ..it's late. I shall leave,"keerthana said quickly grabbing her keys and rushing to the bike not wanting to have the conversation right now.

"Bye!" Arjun whispered and stayed there until her bike disappeared.

And that's when Arjun knew trouble meant keerthana and if this was the trouble he had to face he was glad.
