Just Another Love Bite
Written by: Rohan
“Admiration and love are two different things.” Rajiv clarified.
“Puh-lease…” Reena said with half closed eyes.
“No really…you never really understand what I try to say…ALL THE TIME!!” .The conversation was going to get spicy for sure.
“Yeah right! Who would? When your ‘lover’ tells you about a new girl from school or college or work who he ‘admires’…ALL THE TIME!” Reena air quoted and threw her hands in frustration.
“But…” Rajiv had no particular response in mind and hoped that Reena would interrupt him right there.
“What do you want to prove? Am I not good enough for you? Do you long to see them in me?” A closed ended question was the last thing that Rajiv wanted to answer.
“See, you are just making a mountain out of a molehill…” Of course he HAD to say something, although clichéd.
“I am sick of these girls…” Reena was in no mood to listen. Or was she just pretending to be angry? Old trick women endorse to bring out all the truth.
“Ok…let’s go for an ice cream?” Rajiv could have tried better.
“Not helping…”
“A drink…will that be fine?’
“Its 10 in the morning!!”
“Alright let me do something that I never did for those girls. Stay right there sexy, I’ll be back in some time .” Reena had no idea what Rajiv was up to.
Rajiv put his robe on, gave Reena a peck on her nose and left.
While Reena was looking out of the window at a nest built by a weaver, Rajiv emerged from behind the curtains with a tray with two cups of coffee, sandwiches and lilies that he managed to pick from Mrs. Sharma’s garden.
“That’s what I am talking about Raj. Come to me baby…” Reena curled and motioned both her index fingers.
“Oh! That smile reminds me of Tanya…did I tell you about her?”
“YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!”
