HIS SWEETHEART

PART 3

He closed his eyes and gulped and opened them and looked at her. "Repeat what you said please ". Naina looked at him and she smiled mischievously at him. "Rudraksh Singh Raghuvanshi saying please?". She made an innocent look and looked at him. He looked at her in disbelief.

"Sweetheart don't play with me, just say my name the way you said now." He pulled her closer and held the nape of her neck gently and rubbed his thumb on the side of her neck sending her shivers down the spine, she closed her eyes and her grip on his shirt tightened more.

"Aksh please". He continued rubbing his thumb and smirked at her restlessness, seeing the effect he has on her. "Please what Sweetheart? Someone was playing with me a few seconds earlier, so now what?" His husky voice sent her chills, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, she moved her hands upwards towards his neck and wrapped them around his neck and pulled him closer.

He moved his hand from her neck to her waist and pulled her closer, both the arms were wrapped around her waist. He smirked at her and she looked away. "So someone doesn't want me to go?". He chuckled at her.

She looked at him and held his cheek and rubbed her thumb on his cheekbone, he closed his eyes and felt warmth in her touch. She smiled and continued rubbing her thumb on his cheekbone, which instantly calmed him down.

"I never ever wanted you to go, but you were busy with your work, avoiding me". He opened his eyes and saw her, she was already looking down. He closed his eyes as he felt her sadness.

"Sweetheart look at me please". He made circles on her waist grabbing her attention towards him. She lifted her eyes and looked at him. "I can never avoid you Sweetheart, I was just caught up with something more important, I swear. He just couldn't tell her that he was just too scared for her, he was afraid of her rejection.

Who would tell her that he was maintaining a distance from her, as she is way too young, too fragile and innocent for him and his world. He snapped out of his thoughts when she tapped his chest. He looked down at her and smiled.

"Let's get you another bouquet Sweetheart". He tucked her hair strand behind her ear. She blushed and looked up at him with her green doe eyes. "No, it's okay you don't need to". She spoke in her sweet voice.

"It was my fault Naina I should have controlled my anger and not lash it out like that". He said avoiding her gaze. "It's okay Aksh I understand, and I don't need a new bouquet". She took the bouquet from the ground and smiled looking at the bouquet.

"See they aren't even destroyed, and I'll keep them in vase with a little water so they will be all fresh tomorrow morning". Her eyes sparkled.

"You have a solution for all the problems right?". He said admiring her. "It's not about the solution Aksh, you don't need to be perfect every time. Just like these flowers, you throw them in anger but still they look so pretty even in a bit of a destroyed way. The same is with us Aksh, you don't have to be perfect every time, let your imperfections shine out. People who truly admire and love you will accept you with all your flaws and imperfections. And trust me I find imperfections more beautiful than perfection".

She looked into his eyes and she knew something was off with him, he didn't want to share at that moment. Rudraksh knew what she said, he deeply understood what she meant. He smiled and nodded at her.

"Sometimes imperfections can scare the other person too Naina". He indirectly questioned his doubts. He wanted to claim her, love her and make her his completely. But he doubted himself that he would be able to love her , worship her just the way she deserves it?

"Not to the people who adore you, accept you with all your imperfections and when you find them never let them go, because they are the ones who truly deserve you". She smiled showing her dimples and he playfully poked them, earning a giggle from her.
