• Part 56 •

Nikita POV:

I'm feeling super strange about all of this. I'm trying to be normal about it but first I had to fight off Riya, now his ex.
How long does this go on for?
University is going to end in 3 months and then I don't even know what's the future going to be like? Am I doing the right thing?

Tomorrow is the day I'm going to Lonavala.
It's my birthday tomorrow.
I didn't tell him because I wanted us to enjoy it without the burden of "celebrating". I wanted to enjoy, rather than celebrate, and I wanted it with him because he makes me happy.

"Good morning lovebird." Aisha said as she snapped her finger and brought me out of my daydreaming.
I gave her a small smile, "Good Morning."
"What's going on? You aren't dressed yet, class hai na, come on!" Krutika said.
"I'm having chai, I'll get ready then."
"What's your plan tomorrow?" Krutika said.
"I... I'm going for a day trip."
"Ooooh with who?" Aisha teased.
"You know who!" I smacked her arm.
"Let her be!" Krutika said and then turned to me, "But I heard that his ex came back. Did he tell you anything, Nik?"
"I... I met her."
"And?"
"We didn't talk. I meant I saw her."
"Did he... talk to you about it?"
"Yeah. He told me about it. It was a pretty disturbing past. I didn't know what to do."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm trying to be. I don't know what to do. I'm just.... I'm in between this."
"I know what you mean babe." Aisha said, holding my hand, "But you enjoy tommorow and don't focus on all this."
"I won't. I'll... I'll enjoy. When I'm with him, I enjoy time anyway, but like..."
"I know it's not easy to forget about it but give him sometime, he will sort it out. He publicly got rid of Riya for you, you think this girl stands a chance?!"
I sighed, "Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway, let me go get ready."
"We have this UG Social today, don't we?"
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's an undergraduate social event. Do you not open your emails?" Aisha said.
"I do, but only work related."
"Why are you so lame?" Krutika said.
"Aye! That's not true. I just... I don't know, not a fan of all of this."
"Okay okay! Now go get dressed. The social event starts at 12, it's already 11:45."

I got dressed in a plain pastel pink long sleeve U neck top and black cargo pants, braided my hair and then added basic makeup and went back downstairs. I don't think we have classes today, so no need to take anything with me.
Krutika and Aisha were sitting ready.
"Let's go." I said, and they looked.
"Wow, ready within 5 minutes. I'm surprised." Aisha said, "I thought you'd take time."
"Seeee I told you, I won't take time."

We locked the door and headed out to the main event. It was pretty lively. It was in the main courtyard of the university, with small tents and with different games and events, leading to the main auditorium which had the main event going on in. We played a few games and had a quick bite and then made our way inside.

We entered the great hall and found a bunch of performances happening, we were walking towards our group of friends when I hand pulled me aside. I got startled but I was held in place by him, "Hey." He whispered in my ears.
I saw Aisha and Kru smile at me and then carry on after I indicate that I'll come. Then, I turned to him, "You scared me."
"Sorry Mishbo. Now tell, how come you're here?"
"What does that mean?"
"Well, I assumed that you're not a fan of all this. Who dragged you here?" He smirked.
"Shut up." I hit his arm, "I'm not a fan but you're right, I was dragged by Aisha."
"Good. Now come."
"I need to meet my friends."
"Oh okay."
"Why don't you come?"
"Sure?"
"Yeah, bring your brothers and friends too."
"Okay. You go, I'll come."
I nodded and walked towards them, "hey."
They looked and smiled at me and we got talking again. Aisha kept on giving me the look, so I grabbed her arm and whispered, "What?"
She smirked, "Where's Jiju?"
"Shut up!" I said, "Don't call him that."
"Why not? It's gonna happen anyway."
"Shush! We're not even dating and you're saying things like this."
"That's my next question, why aren't you two dating yet?"
"I don't know. We haven't thought about it."
"Speak for yourself, I'm sure he thinks about it everyday."
"I don't know, maybe."
"You're literally half dating the world's biggest green flag. The man literally asked you to accept him first before dating you directly, men like this need to exist more."
I chuckled, "I think you're right."
"Hey guys!" His voice said and I felt myself smiling more than usual. We turned to him and Aisha sleekly hit my arm and whispered, "Jiju is here."
I playfully rolled my eyes at her and we joined the group. I noticed his brothers and friends mingle well with our group and it was nice to the whole group gel well.
"Do you guys wanna grab a table?" Ved asked.
"You're right, yep!" Kru said.

We quickly sat down on a table and I excused myself to go grab something to drink. They nodded and then I left from there.
I scouted around a bunch of areas and finally found a nice drink for myself and got it. The bin was in the corner and so I went to throw it and was coming back when a hand pulled me into an empty, closed classroom. I was about to scream but a hand covered my mouth.
"Shhh." Mayukh's deep voice said.
I slowly opened my eyes and relaxed seeing him in front of me. He looked at me and then left his hand from my mouth and wrapped it around my waist, "Hi."
"Hi..." I said, "Why am I here?"
"Because...." He whispered, "I've been apart from you for too long."
"Really?" I said, chuckling.
His hands came closer as he backed me against the wall slowly, "Really."
"I'm here now..." I whispered.
"You are." He said, his eyes piercing into mine. His finger traced my back slowly, making imaginary doodles with his hand. I felt goosebumps rising on my skin.
"What are you doing?" I whispered, looking down.
"Nothing....." he said, "yet."
I looked at him, "why are we here?"
"Because... I want something."
"And that is?"
His eyes bore into mine as he smirked, "this."
His grip on me tightened as he wrapped his arms around me and then closed the distance between us. He kissed me slowly, yet so very seductively.
I didn't even know that was possible.
My hands went around his neck as I pulled him closer. I felt him smirk against the kiss as he pulled back slightly, "Damn babe."
I looked at him, "Less talking.... More..."
"More kissing." He completed my sentence and kissed me again. This time a bit more rough.
I liked it that way ;)
I felt him pinch my waist and I gasped and he took the chance and explored my mouth. I was in shock but couldn't deny the magic he was doing. He left my lips and attacked my neck. I held him tightly, trying to suppress a moan while he found a sweet spot and bit my neck.
"Don't hold back mishbo." He whispered.
His bloody seductive whisper.
God.
He bit the sweet spot he found and I winced a bit in pain and he immediately looked at me, "are you okay? I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I smiled at him.
"Good, get used to this." He winked and kissed my lips again. I kissed him back until my phone rang, catching me off guard.

We pulled back and I answered it, "Hello?"
"Where are you madam?" I heard Aisha.
"I..." I looked at Mayukh, who kissed the back of my palm, while he raised his shoulder playfully, "I'm coming. I just... met someone."
"Oh. You're with Mayukh. Got it."
"W..what? How did you..."
"Babe, the school which you're entering, I've been there for the last 3 years. I know this." She chuckled, "you two come back soon before they all notice."
"Yeah, I'm coming." I said and hung up.

I looked at him and hit his arm, "Why aren't you helping me talk?"
He chuckled, "It was cute watching you handle it."
"Let's go now." I said and grabbed his arm but he didn't budge. I turned back, "What?"
"You sure you want to go?"
"What does that mean?"
He opened his phone's front camera and pointed it in front of me. Then, he slowly tiled my head and I noticed a small hickey on my neck.
Oh my God!
"Oh... Oh no. I... I don't have a concealer."
He chuckled and put his hand in his pocket and pulled a concealer out and handed it to me.
"How and why do you have this?" I asked.
"Well, I take responsibility for my actions. If the hickey is mine, covering it up is my job." He said and put the phone away and took the concealer from my hand.
"Wh..what are you doing?" 
"Relax. I'll do this." He said and started to apply the concealer on my neck slowly.

I watched him.
Walking green flag. I thought.
His light brown eyes were focused onto the mark as he fixed it properly.
"There. Done." He said after a minute.
He took his phone out and showed me.
It was as if it wasn't there. Wow.
"By the way," he said, pulling me close, "this isn't my best work."
I chuckled and hit his arm, "Shut up."
"Make me."
I looked at him, "Okay." I said and quickly kissed him before he caught hold of me and let go, "Let's go now!"
He smiled, "Okay."

We quickly joined the group again, ignoring the evidently smirking faces that we were given and we all started to play games, chit chat, and eat. All this, while his eyes kept glancing on mine, and my eyes kept glancing on him.
