Justin drops me off back at my hotel. When I'm out to get off though, justin pulls me back in the car.
"Hey, your really strong. I don't know if this means anything but I'm proud of you to pull through something like that and still be the way you are..." He said still holding my forearm..
"And what way am I?" I asked.
"Pretty awesome. And here's a piece of advice. You look sexy in shorts, maybe tomorrow you should consider wearing them.." He said smiling at me now.
"Alright imma think abt it..." I said teasingly.
"Okay goodnight.." He said and kissed my cheek.
"Umm thanks..Gn" I said my cheeks turning into a shade of crimson.
And as I got off and entered inside the hotel, he put the car in first and drove off in the dawn.
I entered the room very carefully trying not to wake up Dimple or Deesha..
I laid down on my bed and couldn't help but think about the time I spent. I couldn't believe Justin's story.. And I couldn't believe me out of all people opened up to him like I did. I was looking forward to tomorrow. Bt I couldn't help but think abt how I was hurting Ranveer..
I checked the time back in India and it was only 6.30 in the evening.. So I decided to make the call.
"Vrutika..? Babe what time is it there?" He answered, sounding totally surprised..
" Its 5 in the morning.." I said
"Why are u still up..?" He said with concern in his voice.
I narrated the entire episode of me meeting Justin at subway, how he asked me for a date and for my number and then came under my hotel and we went to his place and everything that happened over there. That was the one thing I loved about me and Ranveer. We never judged each other, and we always said the truth to each other. Ranveer heard everything I had to say, but didn't utter a word after I finished.
"So don't you have anything to say?" I asked him.
"What do you want me to say..? Vrutika his intentions are pretty clear. He wants to fuck you and then disappear. He told you that." He told me.
"He didn't frame it like that..." I said, like it would make what Justin said sound better. Why was I taking his side.?
"Look, you're single. And you can do anything you want. But I love you, and until you got onto the plane to go to LA, I thought u did as well." He said, clearly hurt and pissed off.
"I'm sorry..." I began. "Don't." He cut me off. "Its pretty clear that you're ok with everything thats happening between you and him. actually you're more than ok, you seem very happy about it, and dont deny it, cause if you werent, then you wouldnt have gone to his place at 2 in the morning. And since you've pointed out countless times that what we're doing isn't working, i hope this works for you. But remember this, I was just in another city, and you couldnt handle our relationship. You're going to be in LA for 3 weeks, then you and him are going to be in different continents. Whatever, I think we're done here. I hope you stay happy with him, if u need anything, I'll be here, as a friend. Bye Vrutika, take care." And disconnected before I could say anything.
What was I thinking? Did I really expect anything else out of this? Did I really want another guy..? Why was being such a sick slut.? I felt disgusted with myself. Everything about me and Justin felt wrong. Except, that it felt right. After all of this, I still had the burning desire to kiss Justin. I could picture his beautiful pink lips, and I could imagine his breathe on my face.
What the hell was I doing..?
My brain did not let me get any sleep that night. I was stuck, and I didn't know what way to go.
Since I was not getting any sleep, and i couldnt stop crying over Ranveer, and being torn between him and Justin i just wanted to stop thinking and do something that would help me not think. It was already 6 in the morning, I decided to eat something and go for a run or something. I stood by the window and saw the sunrise. Yes, it was beautiful, bt I never understood why the people had the need to exaggerate the beauty of it. I made some coffee for myself n ate a banana, and put on some running clothes and head towards the beach with my phone strapped on my arm and my hair tied into a high pony.
I started running by the beach. The temperature of the wind felt cold against my skin, bt once I started sweating, I stopped feeling cold. I was listening to music and kind of unintentionally running to the rythem of the songs. I saw a lot of other people running along side as well, and then, I saw him.
His calf muscles bulging with every step he took. His chest rising up and down, his neck wet with sweat, his lips, slightly parted but red. His cheeks and nose pink and his eyes, ever so determined, his hair, spiked but sweating and his arms constantly showing off the muscles and the tattoo on them. I had the instant desire to run to him and jump on to him and kiss him, everywhere.
As I was checking him out, I didn't seem to notice that he was too. His lips forming and evil smile.
"Once would be coincidence, twice could be funny. But thrice? I'm going to have to call that fate." He said to me, panting.
"Maybe, it is. Good morning" I said smirking.
"I thought u'd be in deep slumber because of the late hours that you slept the previous night" he said smiling at the choice of his words.
"Well, I didn't get any sleep actually.. So I decided to go for a run." I confessed. I had no idea why I was being so honest to him.
"Well, u better go home and take rest. I don't want u fainting on our date, and I'd hate to spend half of it in the emergency room." He said, teasing me.
"Yea, alright. I won't faint." I said rolling my eyes.
"So where r u heading towards?" He asked me
"Will turn around here and run back to the hotel." I said.
"Come run with me" he said to me and started running in the direction of the hotel. I followed him, it was a little hard to catch up with him, bt I noticed that he was trying to slowdown and maintain pace as well.
We didn't talk the whole time running back, but the silence wasn't awkward at all. If anything, I was ver much comfortable with keeping my mouth shut rather than revealing a huge part of my life to a stranger I met only a couple of days ago. We finally reached my hotel.
"This is me" I sad panting.
"Well, what time am I seeing u in a little more appealing lady like manner?" He asked making fun of me.
"Ha ha ha, you think you're so funny. But you're not. I'll try convincing them for 10." I said looking away getting all conscious abt my attire.
"Try 9." He said, trying to bargain.
"10.30" I replied back.
"Ok ok, 9.30?" He asked
"I'll do what I can do, but nothing is promised" I said, feeling like a boss.
"Hey, your really strong. I don't know if this means anything but I'm proud of you to pull through something like that and still be the way you are..." He said still holding my forearm..
"And what way am I?" I asked.
