Embarrassment-2

  I laugh again, then bite my bottom lip. I feel suddenly self-conscious when his gaze falls to my lip.

  I clear my throat. “I will desiccate your sister’s ovaries. She’s playing with us because Ranjiv didn’t ask me out, and she knows it. She will pay for this.” I groan and start walking away from him, but he won’t just let me go. He grabs my hand before I can get far from him.

  I look down at our hands then up at his beautiful face.

  “So, it’s not true, huh?” he seems to find it hard to believe that I am not dating Ranjiv.

  I shake my head before I hear footsteps approaching, and speaking of the devil.

  “K, thank God I found you here!” Ranjiv’s strong Indian accent catches my attention.

  “You’re looking for me?” I pull my hand from Bash’s grip.

  “I called you, but you didn’t pick up. So I decided to look for you instead,” Ranjiv responds, arching his thick brows at me.

  I know what he’s trying to say. Bash fakes a cough.
