Flirt with me
She scrunched her face and intending to ignore the remark and not making a big issue out of it, covered her chest with her hands and let him in.
With a sly smile on his face, he moved past her hitting her shoulder intentionally and stood in front of Vansh’s desk. Vansh looked up and gave him a wide grin, “Bhai” he greeted. (Bhai means brother in English, but generally used as a term of endearment and trust towards their friends in India)
He introduced them, “Shreya, this is Rahul – the property manager in this company and my childhood friend. Rahul, this is Shreya – as you know, my girlfriend”
Shocked and confused if she heard him right, she looked at their faces for a moment too long and forgot to say the customary hello to him.
A wide number of thoughts entered her head, “He.. he is his best friend and he knows that I am his girlfriend but he thinks I’m a prostitute. Uh… Um… do I look like a prostitute? Is Vansh saying that to his friends? Is he just using me for s..”
She only realized that she was out of it when she heard Vansh repeating her name for the third time.
“Shreya, what’s wrong?” asked Vansh.
She started shaking her head but Rahul interrupted her and said, “Oh I’ll tell you why she is so confused. She probably thinks I’m a slime bag and a pervert because I checked her out at the doorstep”
“You didn’t just check me out” she replied immediately.
“So I might’ve added a remark” he said slyly.
“Rahul…” Vansh warned and Rahul replied, “I’m sorry bhabhi, when he showed me your picture I was honestly shocked at how beautiful you looked and seeing as how he is dumbest in the crowd, there was no way I could believe this to be true. I thought either your judgement is very wrong or you are getting paid”
(Bhabhi means sister-in-law and is used for every girl who is in a relationship with your friend. No proposals or rings required, you are declared ‘bhabhi’ the moment you date someone)
“But now I see that your judgement really is bad” Rahul laughed and Shreya joined after a minute of hesitation.
Vansh stood there, embarrassed but curious as to what the actual question was.
“So you are not a slime bag?” she asked.
“No” Rahul smiled and shook his head.
“You are not a pervert too?” she confirmed.
“Well, I’m a guy so… you know” he replied
She laughed and asked again, “You are not a huge pervert then?”
“No, not that, definitely not that. But for you bhabhi, I will be anything” he smiled and winked at her.
“Then be my masseur and massage my head” she ordered and sat on the chair.
Rahul took her head in his hands and started massaging it. She moaned at the relaxation she felt instantly, and he said, “Why are you with this buffoon? Come on the right side, and get a relaxing massage free, free, free” and ended in a sing-song voice.
“Now that I think about it…” she started but was cut off by a loud shout from Vansh.
“No, don’t even complete that and you..” he pointed at Rahul and flipped his finger, “Get out”
“Sure, sure bhai” he said, raised both his hands in a surrender position and moved out.
The moment he closed the door, Vansh pointed his finger at Shreya and in a strict voice said, “You!
Behave yourself! You just got a punishment and your pretty little ass is still sore” and ended with a warning note in his voice.
“It was just harmless flirting” she chuckled.
“Harmless flirting, my foot. No doing that in front of me” he commanded and she asked shyly, “Just in front of you?”
“No flirting in front of me, back of me, side of me, top of me or whatever.” He groaned and added,
“You are mine and you only flirt with me”
“But you don’t flirt” she pouted.
“I do”
“No, you don’t” she shook her head.
“Let’s flirt now then” he declared and keeping his head on his fingers stared right in her beautiful grey eyes.
Her eyes returned the same affection to his grey-blue eyes.
Half a minute later, she groaned and said, “This is staring, when will you flirt?”
“I’ll do it. I’ll do it” he said and taking a deep breath, stated, “Did it hurt when you fell from the heaven? Cause you are my angel”
“This is a pick-up line. Flirt. Flirt” she reminded and sat back her in affectionate eye-ogling position.
“When I look into your eyes, I see my future.
When I look at your hands, I see my support.
When your silky hair slips from my hands, I feel your love.
And when I see your flat stomach, I see my kids.
Darling! You are my everything and I love you beyond anything else.” He said softly.
Though she was touched, she groaned and said, “This is poetry or proposal or something like that. Flirt daddy, flirt with me. Flirt with me in normal conversations”
“Pshhtt… You lead” he said and sat back in his place moodily.
“Hey” she said softly.
“Yes?” he snapped and folded his hands together.
“What are doing?” she asked softly and he snapped again, “Can’t you see? I’m sitting”
“Well, it’s a little hard to see what you are doing when all I can see are your eyes in front me”
“Uh right, because my eyes are so fucking huge” he chuckled darkly.
“No, but something else of yours surely is” she winked.
He choked on his breath, but soon regained his cool and answered, “Oh my love for you is
definitely huge”
“Yes, because you go hard” she hissed.
“Only you go twice as hard” he replied smirking and it was her who gulped this time.
“No wonder I’m so much better, I exceed the requirements for the job”
“You surely do, except only I can use and bring the best of you” he replied and winked at her.
There was a knock on the door so she stopped brainstorming ideas for her next reply and opened the door. Rahul was standing at the door again, and this time he entered without any perverse check-out of her body and without any dirty remarks.
He stood in front of his desk and declared, “I don’t like your girlfriend”
“Why?” she shouted from where she stood, closing the door.
“Because of your pretty little girlfriend I had to climb two floors twice and spend an extra 10 minutes doing that” he said, directing his words at Vansh.
“She is distracting, eh?” Vansh asked, after a brief look towards her girlfriend.
“Very. I came here for an important work and because of her, I forgot all about it and now I’m back here after getting shouted at by my subordinate” said Rahul.
“hey” she cried, but both of them ignored her and instead addressed each other.
“Tell me about it. I haven’t completed any of my work, all I want to do is sit and stare at her beautiful face”
“That’s my task, bhai, you can do a lot more than just stare” replied Rahul and both of them laughed.
She stood with her hands on her waist glaring at them and said, majorly offended, “I’m not just a pretty little distracting thing”
“You are not, babe. You are so much more but we are guys and we are clouded with your divine beauty” said Vansh softly.
“No, you don’t get to say that. Just because I’m a lady doesn’t mean you can discard all my other qualities for my beauty. I might be an instagram influencer but I’m not that shallow nor do I like my sex being downgraded in a such a way” she said and turning her back on them, walked to her temporary desk - the sofa.
