My Ex - Crush

Episode 27

Deepika's POV:

Wait, what did he just sayyyyyyy?

Did I hear that right? My brain must be malfunctioning because of how insanely hot he looks right now.

Did he actually say... kiss me? No, no, I must be going crazy. My mind is probably playing tricks on me because I was too distracted by his lips. But did he really say that? Am I imagining things? Ugh, what is wrong with me?

"What did you just say?" I asked, raising my eyebrows, still in complete disbelief.

Arjun's eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly recovered, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"I said I'll miss you senseless if you tie your hair up into that ugly bun again," he said, shaking his head with a playful smirk.

"Miss me? Did you really say miss me the first time?" I asked, feeling more confused—and slightly flustered—by his reaction.

"Yeah, miss you. Why, what did you hear?" he asked, his smirk growing wider as he leaned a little closer, clearly enjoying this way too much.

Oh no, no, no. This can’t be happening.

"Wait a second... Don’t tell me you thought I said something else," he teased, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

"No! Absolutely not," I blurted out, my cheeks burning with embarrassment.

"Did you think I said something that starts with 'k' and rhymes with 'miss'?" he asked, fully relishing my discomfort.

"Shut up, Arjun!" I snapped, slapping his hand away from the gear shift, trying—and failing miserably—to hide how mortified I was.

He laughed, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Wow, Deepika, I didn’t know you had such a vivid imagination," he teased, leaning back with a smirk. "Who knew you were such a dirty-minded girl?"

My jaw practically hit the floor. "Excuse me? Me? Dirty-minded? Unbelievable!"

"Oh, absolutely," he said, nodding seriously. "You can try to hide it, but your eyes always give you away, Deepika."

I shook my head, trying to laugh it off, but my cheeks were on fire. "Stop it, Arjun! Now I see what you’re doing—you’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Making me all flustered? Is this fun for you?"

He grinned, his eyes never leaving mine. "Maybe just a little," he admitted, leaning in slightly, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "But it’s only because you’re so cute when you’re flustered."

"Ugh, you’re the worst!" I said, rolling my eyes, though I couldn’t stop the smile tugging at my lips.

"But you like it," he replied smoothly, his tone teasing. "Admit it, you’re having fun too."

"Fun? Watching you embarrass me?" I scoffed, though my heart was doing somersaults. "Sure, Arjun, tons of fun."

"Now, how about you let that hair down again? That bun is really ugly," Arjun teased, chuckling softly.

"Arjun!" I swatted at him playfully, trying to hide my grin. But as I turned to look out the window, I couldn’t help but let out a little sigh.

With a small smirk, I slowly undid my bun, letting my hair fall loose. I glanced at him, half-expecting some witty remark, but instead, he just smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

My stop was coming up, and I noticed he wasn't planning to slow down.

"I’ll drop you at your house," he said, his tone almost casual.
