More than all the stars in the sky - An Addicted Prequel

Not so innocent...

"Manvi?" Jeevika walks into Manvi's room. "Can I borrow your hair dryer?"

"Sure." Manvi goes to her dressing table as Jeevika follows her. "Woo, nice color." she grabs a bottle of nail polish from the table.

"Feel free." Manvi giggles. "But, do we  have time for that? Virat said 15 min...like 30 min ago. He will be in here any second screaming. He can't take it if he is late."

Jeevs waves her hand "...Viren will deal with him. I did something really sexy for Viren, he will not utter a word...I can take all night to get ready and I will not hear a peep." she tells her calmly.

"What did you do for Viren?" Manvi asks all scandalized.

Jeevs raises her brow and turns to her smiling. "You are not as innocent as you look. Are you?"

"Probably not..." Manvi blushes.

Jeevs turns around and lifts her tank top flaunting a tattoo of a red heart on the small of her back.

"Wow!" Manvi steps back surprised. "Its...its cute." she manages. Manvi personally didn't like tattoos at all and more than anything the idea of inserting a needle into her skin always made her skirmish.

"Cute? He says it is the hottest thing ever. He is all over this. I don't know whats with guys and tattoos. He cannot get enough of me since I got this."

"Really? Why?" Manvi asks but Virat interrupts them knocking..rather banging on the door.

"Manvi? We got to leave!"

"Coming! We got to go Jeevs." she runs to open the door.

"Fine!" Jeevs follows her sighing.

"Virat, should we not let your Mom know we are going out?" Manvi asks innocently as they all climb into the elevator.

Viren and Jeevika stare at her flabbergasted. "What do we tell her Manvi? that we are all going bar hopping to get drunk, so keep an advil ready for tomorrow morning's hangover?" Viren asks.

Virat rolls his eyes amused. "Leave her alone."

"You never sneaked around with your parents?" Viren asks Manvi unable to hold back.

"No!" Manvi tells him defensively. " I don't sneak!" She tells him outraged.

"Bhai?" Viren looks at Virat scared. "You plan to get married to her? How? why? What will happen to you?"

"Shut up!" Virat warns him as Manvi looks at him not understanding.

"What is he saying?" she asks Virat later as they were walking a few steps behind of Viren and Jeevika.

"Nothing. Ignore him."

"No, tell me."

"Ignore him, Manvi."

"TELL ME."

"It's nothing baby. Bhai is just referring to how I am the opposite of you: I have never followed a  rule at home. I have always been a naughty kid in school and even more of a trouble in college. Mom was very strict with us two but we always managed to undermine every rule she set in the house - me more than Bhai. There wasn't a day that went by without her punishing me somehow."

"Oh?"

"Oh..." he draws her under his arm laughing and kissing her head. "And you are angel incarnated. The opposite of me."

She smiles. "I was never punished."

"I would have been surprised if you were." he laughs.

"Do you like tattoos?"
