"I want everything to be perfect

"I want everything to be perfect." I said, as I checked to make sure every ornament was proper. I was excited to see everything come together to create a beautiful Mehandi ceremony, which would soon begin. In order to make sure the event would go off without a hitch, I prepared ahead of time and double checked every detail. Rohan is also nearby. "Since when did you start becoming punctual?" I questioned him. "Well, I changed," he scowled. During the time I knew him, he was never actually on time. Sometimes Tani would become so irate over his frequent tardiness.

"Anyways, how's it going with Tani?" I smirked. "Much better" he grinned in response. That's unexpected, especially given how tense their previous relationship was. I leaned in, to whisper something, and he leaned in as well, "If you ever need help, don't worry, I'm here." His face was as bright as a light. "I'm just saying that if you ever need help, I'll be there for you. I never said I'd help you." I added. "What a good friend you are," he rolled his eyes, making me laugh. "Okay, I need to take the call, I'll catch up with you later," Rohan said, taking a step back to answer his phone, and I nodded.

I continued looking after the decorations until I noticed a man approaching me. He was the same guy I slapped yesterday. This pervert again? When I first saw him at Sangeet, I thought he was handsome, and for the first time in ages, I felt something new, but after his hornyass behavior, I don't care anymore.

I'm very picky about men and friends because I can't stand being hurt again, and this man out here isn't my type. I didn't look at him, but I could feel his gaze burning into me, which I don't like. I waited for him to stop staring at me, but that never happened. I finally turned to face him and gave him a clear "back off" look, but he continued to stare shamelessly. I couldn't take it any longer and approached him to talk.

"Can you fucking stop staring at me?" My voice was rougher than I realized, and all he could muster was a sly smile in return, which made me even more annoyed. So shameless. Rohan arrived right on time, or I would have slapped him again. Glancing between the two of us, he questioned, "What's the matter, Raina?"

"I have no idea who this man is, but he has been getting on my nerves since yesterday, which is extremely annoying." He frowned, as if nothing had happened. "So, you are the one who slapped me last night?" he asked me as he stood up. "Yeah, I had to make sure you were awake," I said, crossing my arms. His lips twitched into a dry chuckle. "Princess, do you even know who you're dealing with?" he asked, glaring at me. I raised an eyebrow, "And I don't care. You deserved it."

"Feisty, I like that."

"Don't get too comfortable, I won't hesitate to do it again."
