You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter-56 Love is in the air!

The alarm went off for quite a while till a sleepy Tapasya stopped it. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. Next to her was Mitali who was sleeping like a baby. She smiled a bit and got off the bed.

Within half an hour, Tapasya was ready in her tracksuit and sneakers. She had brought those just by chance. She pulled her up into a ponytail and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

There wasn't a second doubt in the fact that she was the prettiest girl in St. Marcus. No one could ever be her.

She spared a second glance at Mitali before leaving and undoubtedly,the girl was still sleeping. She  closed the door slightly and left for her morning jog.

The beaches were the best thing that attracted her to Goa and she loved gazing at the waves as they rolled up to her feet. But obviously she wasn't going to jog in the beach. So she chose the sidewalk instead.

As she was jogging , she suddenly felt something was wrong. She felt like someone was following her. The hair on her neck stood up as she felt a sudden gush of cold air on her neck. She quickly turned around and shouted,

Tapasya: WHO ARE YOU?!!

The boy jerked off and fell on the floor. Tapasya took a close look at his face.

Taps: Ru? What the hell are you doing here?

Ruhaan looked up at her and said,

Ruhaan: Arey! Tapasya mujhe pehle uthao to sahi!

Tapasya nodded and helped Ruhaan get up. He brushed the dirt of his hands.

Taps: Okay, now tell me why the hell were you following me?

Ruhaan: I wasn't following you. I was coming to surprise you but before that you shouted in my ears and I fell down.

Tapasya sighed softly and said,

Tapasya: But it's 5 in the morning, what the hell are you doing this early?

Ruhaan: Yeah well I kinda woke up in the middle of the night and I've not been able to go back sleep. So I just came down to stroll a little and then I saw you so I thought......

Tapasya: To scare me ?

Ruhaan: No, no of course not. I was just......

Tapasya: Ru, what's going on?

Ruhaan: Uh.... actually I didn't wake up in the middle of the night. I mean I did but not then. I woke up to drink water and from the window I saw you  going out. So.....I came down to make sure.......well.....it isn't even dawn yet.....so.....

Tapasya: You came to protect me?

Ruhaan sheepishly looked here and there. Tapasya smiled brightly.

Taps: Aw... Ru..... you are such a dork. I love you.

Ruhaan smiled and said,

Ruhaan: I love you too.

Tapasya smiled and was about to go in for a hug when suddenly she backed away and said,

Taps: You know what? I would kill to hug you right now but I'm all sweaty and gross.

Ruhaan giggled and said,

Ruhaan: I would still hug you even if you are sweaty and gross.

Saying that, he hugged her tightly. Tapasya smiled and hugged him back.

As they backed off, Ruhaan said,

Ruhaan: And also, since it's Christmas today, I got you a little something. Close your eyes and give me your hand.
