My Kind Of Happily Ever Afters

Chapter14

"Do you have something to tell me?" I asked Arjun. After dinner we cozied up in my bed, talking about things.

I was snuggled on his back while he was turned to the opposite side and played with my fingers.

The lighting of the room was dim and so it gave the room a perfect romantic setting for us.

"Uh, what?" he asked.

"Anything, that i don't know but i am supposed to know?" I said.

"No. Nothing. Why? Do you feel that i am hiding something?" he asserted.

I stayed silent for a while. Why was he behaving so insouciant about his fight with Kabir? I mean how was this thing not affecting him? Kabir was his childhood buddy and this whole thing should've affected him, a lot.

"You had a fight with Kabir, didn't you?" i finally asked him.

He looked a little taken aback as he stopped fidgeting with my fingers. I made him turn towards me and looked at him.

"Did you?" i asked once again.

He tried to turn away but i pulled his face back, towards me.

"What? Why does it matter now anyway?" he asked irritated and sat up on bed, removing my hands from him.

A knot started forming inside my throat.

"Of course it does matters. It matters to everyone in our group. You guys are best friends!" i semi-yelled.

"Yeah sure. 'were' best friends" he laughed bitterly.

"Arjun, you can't let a stupid fight for some stupid reason, ruin your friendship" and at that point my voice choked and i was almost crying. Did i tell you that i was the biggest rondu (cry baby) of the group?

Arjun sighed and turned towards me. "Look, we had our own reasons okay? And we've had fights before as well, but we became friends again. I promise everything will be fine. We just need a little time. Thats all."

"Promise?" i sniffled, pulling out my pinky towards him, making him smile.

"Promise" he replied hooking his pinky with mine.

"You're going to talk to him by tomorrow" i told him.

"Maybe not by tomorrow. But definetly by a few days" he said.

I frowned but he gave me a nervous smile, biting his lips. And i had the sudden urge to kiss him, so i scurried closer to him and placed my lips on his.

Within a few seconds, we both were on a full on make out session. I was on top of his and his hands were on my hip, which occasionally trailed up my back giving my chills.

His hand played with the hem of my top and slowly he started to pull it out of me. Immediately different thoughts started rushing through my mind. I was starting to get nervous. Goosebumps errupted all over my body.

I hadn't done 'that thing' yet. And i wasn't sure if i wanted to do it at that moment.

I have always learnt that it was a very holy thing and should be done only at the right time. And i wasn't sure if it was the right time. But, I also didn't want to hurt Arjun.

But he's my boyfriend. I am sure he will understand.

He pulled out my top and tossed it on the ground and just when his hand reached my back, i stopped him.

"What?" he asked, continuing to kiss my jawline.

"Stop." "Arjun stop" i pushed him a little away from me.

I pulled the sheets up to cover myself as i was only wearing my sports bra on top.

Arjun looked at me baffled. "I'm sorry. I-I can't do it now. I am not ready yet" i stuttered.

He shut his eyes and looked the other way. Our heavy breathing could be clearly heard in the quiet room.

"I'm sorry Arjun" i held his hand but he pulled his hand away.

"Hey. Hey. I am sorry. Arjun. I am- i am really sorry" i cried.

"I-I should go home" he said and got out from the bed.

"Arjun, listen to me. I am sorry. I-" I ran after him, as he rushed out of my room.

"I need to go home, okay? I'll see you later" he gave me a rushed smile and walked out of the house, leaving me with millions of questions clouding my brain.

I shivered when i realized that i was barely wearing anything on top. Sighing, i walked backed into my room.

I scooted inside my bed covers and lay on my back. Was i wrong in refusing to sleep with him?

Warm tears slipped down my eyes at the thought of loosing Arjun. I started regretting my decision of stopping Arjun. I should've let him do it.

Thousands of 'what ifs' and 'why's' questioned my life. There was this weird feeling of fear going on at the pit of my stomach. It was same fear which I had years back before I broke up with Arjun.

Amidst all those thoughts, darkness overtook me and the last thing I remembered before I drifted off to sleep was Arjun's face.

Next morning

I woke up with a start when last night's incident came rushing through my head. My whole face was covered in beads of sweat and the side of my temples had those dry stains of tears.

I wiped my face with my hands and slowly climbed down my bed, picking up the mess from the floor in the process.

I walked to my bathroom and did my usual with the last bit of emotional energy left in me. I took a shower and put on a pair of black addidas leggings and a red tank top.

I sighed as I looked myself at the mirror. My eyes were still puffy and red.

Suddenly I realized that I should call him. I immediately ran to my phone which was kept on the charger and dialed his number.

Cliffhanger guys! 😂 I'm so sorry. But you gotta wait for the next  chapter.
