We Happened

Chapter Nineteen

Radhika's pov

"Wait here! Your room is getting cleaned" Rishabh told me and left. I felt weird as he left me alone but I ignored that feeling. After 15 minutes the housekeeper told me that the room was cleaned.

I opened my room and got into and was shocked to see. There was a sweet floral two piece dress which looked amazing. There were matching heels and earnings and a note.

I am responsible so I had to compensate for the loss. Please don't say no because I really mean to gift you this. Take it for the sake of what we have. See you in an hour

-Rishabh

I was flattered. It was so sweet of him. I picked up the dress and it was so cute. There was a envelope I opened it and there was money and a note.

Whenever we go out I pay. It is not about my ego. Trust me, it's something entirely different.
-Rishabh

I realized I had not much time to get ready before the party starts. I took a quick shower and came out to try the outfit Rishabh gave me. To my surprise it fitted my curves perfectly. I wondered how he knew my size so precisely.

After wearing the outfit I had decided to wear I tied my hair in high ponytail. Keeping the makeup light I stepped in my heels and made my way outside. To  my surpise Rishabh was already waiting for me. He turned at the sound of my heels and turned to look at me. His eyes trailed all over my body scrutinizing me than his brows wrinkled in confusion and I knew the next question coming up.

"Why aren't you wearing the dress I gave you?"

He was right I wasn't wearing the dress he got me or the earnings or anything. I was dressed in the clothes that I choose in the morning. It wasn't as pretty as the outfit Rishabh got me but it was presentable. I was wearing a white and golden short skirt with a white full sleeve blouse tucked in with golden heels.

"I loved that outfit. It is a beautiful dress but it wasn't me. I don't mean to disrespect you but I couldn't accept it. I appreciate the gesture but since now we've established we're friends, it feels weird to put a price tag on it. I hope you understand. Nevertheless, thank you!"

He didn't quite say anything for a good five minutes and I was nervous thinking that I might have offended him. I was about to have a anxiety attack when he finally cracked a smile and said "You look more beautiful in anything"

I grinned ear to ear knowing that he isn't mad about rejecting his gift "You too cleaned up pretty nice" I smriked and he shook his head chuckling.

"Come on. Let's go"

He turned when I grabbed his wrist to stop him. He turned to look at me with confusion. I took a step forward and he straighten up not knowing what was happening. I softly ran my hand on his arm and his eyes widened at my action. I took another step, we were now incredibly close. His posture went stiff and the look on his face was hilarious. I placed my hand on his shoulder and tip toed to reach his ears. His entire body tensed on my this move. I could hear his heavy breathing clearly and I just wanted to laugh my ass off but I couldn't. I was on a very important mission. Taking a deep breath I spoke into his ear "You can have your money back too. My friendship is priceless" I gently slipped the money into his jacket pocket and stepped back smiling at him.

He was still dazzed and I wanted to laugh but then it would be straight up mean which isn't fair. I patted his arm and said "Come on. Let's go"

As I turned and started walking I'm sure I heard him curse under his breath. I grin to myself feeling much better now. I turned to see him running his hand through his hair and getting together everything. I chuckled and went straight to the car.
