Broken Jewel

❤️22❤️ - Self-Defence

"I know Arjun is not the kind of guy who would hurt a girl..........probably I would do that" he huskily whispered moving closer to Sonakshi.

"You would?" her voice was barely a whisper as she stared into his eyes.

"Hmm......whether I touch you or not, I would still leave a mark in you at the end of the day"

-----------------------------

Dev loved the way her eyes scanned his face from his eyes, to his jaw and finally his lips. Whenever he spoke, she just looked at him as if he were a radio and not a person who is there to be interacted with. It was as if his words were still circulating inside her mind and not yet allowed to digest inside her.

"Can I ask you something?" Sona's forced the words out as her eyes fluttered. Her mind raced, thinking about the different outcome of her question.

"What?" Dev asked as he left her hand to fall on her side.

"Can you teach me how to fight?" she asked and Dev froze.

Out of all the questions, he didn't expect her to ask him that. He slowly moved towards her. Sona felt intimidated and quickly stepped back. But that didn't stop him from caging her between him and the wall.

"W...what are you doing?" she asked as he moved closer and scanned her face.

"Why do you want to learn fighting?"

"I want to learn.....how......to defend myself" she said softly. The moment she said that, Dev's eyes softened and he stayed at the same position.

"Defend yourself from?"

"You.....people like you" she whispered, still staring at the ground. When Dev didn't answer her, she started regretting her idea of asking him such a question. Of course, she should have known that he wouldn't entertain her. Before she could tell him off his sudden answer shocked her.

"Well.....then your training has already started sunshine.... You see, when someone touches you without your permission, you need to use your beautiful hands to fight back. One doesn't need training to defend herself" he said calmly while picking up her hands and caressing her knuckles softly. His eyes held so much of honesty until it was hard to push him away.

"I know how to defend myself Dev" she said with an annoyed tone. But Dev was amused.

"Really? What will you do?"

"What d-" before she could say anything, Dev pinned her hands behind and hovered her face. Now, her face was filled with panic and her eyes widened. He kept applying pressure in her hands while she gulped and struggled against his large frame.

"Dev..... what are you doing? Leave me....ahh" she squealed as Dev kept a straight face.

"Is this how you defend yourself sweetheart?" he asked as she inhaled a sharp breath. She hated how he proved his points but he was right. She badly wanted to defend herself but she couldn't. He proved her that she was weak...again.

"Dev you are hurting me....." she whined but his hold was still strong.

"Well, that's what you get for lying. You weren't hurt by Arjun right?" he asked, looking up with amusement swirling in his eyes.

"I want to hit you sooo bad" she grumbled and his lips curved into a small smile.

"Then hit me darling!" he said.

Sona looked for any sort of humour in his eyes but there was none. That's when she realized that he was actually serious about hurting her. He really wanted her to hit him. But she had never hurt anyone in her life. Dev was the first person who was slapped by her, but even that was accidental. How could she do that again?
