It's Sunday morning and we are going to the beach today. I'm so, so excited for it! I quickly put on a white shirt and shorts, got ready, did some minimal makeup, and that's when my phone rang.

(On call)

"Hello?"

"Are you ready? We are waiting for you," she said

"Yes,yes, I'm ready give me 5 minutes. I'll be there at the gate" I said and hung up.

I went downstairs, bid goodbye to mumma and dad, and saw black bmw suv in front of my house. Reyansh was honking. I quickly ran and sat in the front passenger seat next to him as he was driving.

"Sorry guys I'm late" I said turning back looking at Ayush and Shriya.

"Pehli baar nahi he jab tune late kiya ho" shriya said pouting.

(It's not the first time you've been late)

"I'm sorry na" I said looking scrunching my nose and looking at reyansh who was engrossed in driving the car.

🤍

We didn't talked; we just passed smile to eachother. Ayush and shriya got down as we reached the beach, but tara was waiting for me to park the car so we could go together.

"You could've gone with them" i said while she was standing there waiting for me.

"No it's okay we can go together" she said smiling at me.

"Is your sprain okay now?" I asked and she nodded her head.

"Yes it is better now" she said nodding her head in yes.

🤍

We all were sitting by the beach while tara and shriya were playing and running around Tara was giggling and she looks so cute when that dimples forms up on her cheeks.

"Rey..ansh Ayush come catch us" she said while catching her breath as she was running around.

"Wait and watch now" i said and quickly got up and ran behind her.

"Haha you can't catch me Mr Rajvansh" she said giggling and challenging me.

"Do you wanna see sunshine that I'll catch you and throw you over my shoulders" I said and I realised what the hell did I just said now.

"Blah blah" she said and showed me her tongue and I was about to catch her when she said

"Time please" and started breathing heavily.

"Ye kya bacho jaise time please bolri ho cheater" I said and ran again.

"Ullu banaya" she said and I grabbed her hand and she landed on my chest looking at me with her doe eyes and breathing heavily and smiling looking at me she's so ethereal angel.

"So as I said if I'll catch you I'll throw you over my shoulder" i said and she stopped giggling and looked at me widening her eyes.

"No no reyansh no" she said and ran away out of my grip I chuckled at her antics.

I ran away from him as he said that he'll throw me over his shoulders I blushed a little while walking and sat on the mat were ayush and shriya were sitting.

"Let's go play in the water" i said pulling ayush and shriya.

"No taru we'll get all wet and you don't even have extra clothes" shriya said nodding her head in no.

"Koi baat nahi tere kapde dal dungi tu toh laayi he" I said laughing.

"Okay let's go" ayush said smiling.

"This feels so peaceful soaking your legs in the water" I said closing my eyes but then ayush splashed the water on me.

"Agh Ayush" I said and splashed some water on him too.

I saw Tara Ayush Shriya splashing water on eachother but then I saw some boys staring at Tara then I looked at Tara her white shirt was all wet and now it was see through her black brassiere was visible beneath the shirt I quickly ran up to her that's it I'm not letting another guy staring at my girl.

"Come with me" i said in a cold tone.

"No let me play here come join is too" she said pulling me in.

"Tara that's it you're not playing more in water" i said stern tone and her smile faded away.

"Why?" She said raising her eyebrows at me.

"I said that it Tara you're not playing in water anymore and come with me" i said pulling her hand towards me.

"Why are you taking her with you?" Shriya asked and I turned back.

"Shriya just look at her" i said and she looked at her and understood why I'm taking her with me.

"Reyansh" tara said and I glared at her I took her why the car was parked I removed an hoodie from the back seat and stood in front of her.

"Shut up and go inside the car and wear this" i said giving her the hoodie as her white shirt was all wet.

"Why?" She said I mean is this girl mad or what?.

"Look at yourself" i said not looking down at her shirt but in her eyes she looked at her shirt and her eyes widened she quickly went in the car for changing.

"Don't come in" she said making my eyebrows raised at her.

"Sunshine our car has black tinted windows I can't see what are you doing inside" i said and stood outside the car.

I was so embarrassed as my white shirt was all see through I quickly wore his hoodie and came out of his car but his words were roaming in my head when he said our car not his car I blushed a little and came out as he was standing there waiting for me.

"Cute" he said in a low voice.

"This hoodie is over oversized for me" i said looking down.

"It is better this way no boy can stare at you now" he said fixing his hoodie on me.

"And from now you'll not wear an white shirt to the beach if you wanna get all wet you'll not wear an white shirt is that clear" he said making me flinch at his voice and I just nodded at his words

🤍

I came back home and saw rudra bhai working on his laptop and went towards him and sat down next to him.

"You're back taru" he said ruffling my hair.

"Yes bhai" I said smiling at him.

"Whose hoodie you're wearing?" He asked in a teasing tone.

"Bhai hoodie reyansh ki he" I said smiling at him.

"Acha so from now you will not wear my hoodies" he said in sad tone.

"No no bhaiya ofc I'll steal your hoodies only but my white shirt got all wet in water and I guess Reyansh saw some boys were staring at me so he gave me his hoodie" I said him the whole thing.

"Good acha kiya reyansh ne" he said looking back at his laptop.

"Kya acha kiya he scold me for wearing a white shirt to the beach" i said pouting.

"All he did was right shona he protected you" he said and I nodded at him.

🤍

After talking to rudra bhai for sometime I came up in my room and saw myself in the mirror wearing his hoodie it was too big for me but is was giving me the warmth and making me comfortable.

"Don't fall Tara stop blushing" i said to myself and got into the shower I smelled exactly like him.
