MY BODYGUARD

Ragini

I was talking with my friends when I saw Laksh entering inside. He ran his eyes throughout and then finally his eyes landed on me. He smiled and signed me to follow him. I nodded and he left. I excused myself and followed him. I reached the backside area of the party hall and looked around for him.

"Laksh?" I called for him.

Then I felt him behind me. I turned with a wide smile and jumped upon him. He chuckled but didn't respond.

"Happy Birthday to you, monkey!" he said kissing my cheek.

"I'm a human, not a monkey!" I said glaring him cutely.

"But you always keep jumping upon me." he said ruffling my hair.

"Bruh... Wishes aren't enough, ok. I want my birthday gift. What did you bring for me?" I asked as I broke the hug and crossed my arms around my chest.

He brought his hand to the front and I smiled seeing the beautiful bouquet of roses in his hand. I snatched it from him and inhaled them, running my hands on the soft petals.

"Thank you... They're beautiful!" I said as I looked up at him.

"Not more than you..." he said, making me turn red.

"Hihi... I know I'm the single piece in the world." I said laughing and he laughed along.

"Ragini..." we heard Ryan's voice as he came towards us.

"Hmm... The party is going on there and you both are enjoying yourselves here. Love birds ha..." he said teasingly.

"See, what Laksh gave me!" I said as I showed the bouquet to him.

"Bas! Only a bouquet! Aww, I thought your boyfriend will give you something special and expensive on your birthday!" he said laughing.

I glared him and hit him in his stomach.

"Shut up! These are more precious to me than any expensive gift. He has brought them for me so they're special. Tum nahi samjhoge.(You will not understand.)" I said as I kept glaring him.

"Ya ya... I don't understand anything. Everyone else besides me is intelligent. Huh... By the way, your mom is calling you." he said.

"I'm coming. You go. Shoo shoo..." I said.

He glared at me but didn't say anything and left. I then looked at Laksh.

"Don't listen to him. I loved them." I said as I hugged him.

"I know!" he said as he hugged me back.

He broke the hug and was about to claim my lips but I stopped him by keeping my hand on his mouth.

"My lipstick will get spoiled and I don't even have a spare lipstick." I said giggling.

He groaned and pulled me to him and then I felt him running his lips on my neck.

"Laksh, we should go inside otherwise everyone will start looking for me. I'm the birthday girl na." I said.

"Hmm..." he hummed but didn't pull away.

"Laksh!" I said chuckling and he finally pulled away.

"Let's go!" he said unwillingly and both of us went back inside.
