Hot Men Society Series: Desire of Mr. Fuck Boy novel Chapter 21

JENNIFER'S POV

I turned to witness a girl in a blue gown smiling warmly at me. She was devastatingly beautiful!

If I was honey complexioned then she was fair as if touched by the snow flakes themselves. And on it, the peacock blue eyes behind the white rimless spectacles were altogetherly a deadly combination.

Her red lips were going well with her light-hued skin. Her skin was so milky that it looked like if you pinched, it shall turn red. As if that was not enough, the shimmery blue gown was totally matching her eye color.

I blurted out," You are undeniably the most beautiful girl I ever came across!"

Shit! Did I just made myself look stupid?

But her reply definitely left me blushing hard.

"Hmm, seems like someone stole my exact thoughts for you!" She chirped clapping her hands together. I let out a short laugh.

She came beside me and introduced herself,"Hi, I am Nayantara. But my near and dear ones call me Tara. You can too!" She said holding her hand in front of me.

Oh! She's the daughter of the chief minister!

I nervously returned the handshake,"Hello, I am Jennifer Mathews. Well... Jenny for you too." I said giving a polite smile.

She huffed. "Oh come on! I won't eat you up!" Tara exclaimed, throwing up her hands as if in despair. I laughed out loud. She had an extremely friendly nature who could quickly make friends, unlike me.

"Want some?" She asked me offering me a bowl full of jalebis. I had not at all noticed it by now.

Well, who was I to deny such a sweet and delicious and inviting offer? I quickly took two of them. She giggled at my love for the sweet dish.

The air out there was full with the aroma of mouth watering delicacies. Starting from appetizers to starters to main-course. And I was more than happy to find the dessert counter to have a lot many goodies! Whoa... Lucky Me.

We got seated at a side table. Except for the waiters arranging the tables and the chefs looking after the dinner preparations.

Rubbing her hands together, Tara beamed," So... Let's talk our hearts out!" I was overwhelmed by her humbleness and homely quotient which she emitted by her persona.

I too, completely at ease by now, leaned forward too, as if we were about to share our darkest secrets with one-another.

"Do you know why Cassiopeia is my favorite constellation?" I shook my head.

"That's because it signifies queen Cassiopeia who was as beautiful as you and as haughty as me!" She said crunching her nose and pouting all along.

I laughed at her childishness, which only made her more adorable." You, for sure aren't haughty. You are sweet." I said pressing her hand in assurance. She simply shrugged not before flipping her cascading raven hair behind.

Tara was one of those people who were straightforward about themselves. One of those who didn't cloud her judgment about others based on her ego or other's rants. I instantly liked her nature.

Like her dress itself, she seemed to me like the ice. Someone who would take others wrath on her even though it would end up hurting her. Calm, chirpy character which shall push any person to mingle with her and listen to her never ending talks. She was someone who would not go against the people she loved even if it meant giving up her choices.

I on the other hand was like fire. Hot, dazzling and which threatens you to burn. I never expected anyone to come close to me to end up as ashes. I couldn't be so thoughtful ever to take the burden of someone else's mistakes or save that person just because he or she was of my acquaintance. Helping people was different and covering someone else's mistake was different.

I never let people, especially criminals and traitors get away with it. On the top of it, I was not at all open and chattery in any respects. I had always kept my thoughts to my self and curling within in my world of dreams.... which I wanted to come true.

"Oh my God! I just remembered.... you are the fiance of Mayank Prakash. Aren't you?" She all of a sudden, squealed.

Oh god! The media and the gossip column! Argh...

And again...! We are back to my shitty life! I mentally groaned. I couldn't do anything except of giving her a bitter, self-deprived laugh.

"Don't mind! But how did you agree for an alliance with that "swine-cum-bastard-cum-asshole" and ofcourse "son of a bitch" ? " she huffed, and I witnessed the snow white in front of me turning all red with anger.

"I don't have a choice unfortunately.... now, even I think there is no other option." I replied, huffing in defeat.

"But are you 'happy' ?" Tara asked specifically quoting the word 'happy' with her fingers. Her face was dripping with concern.

How I wish I had someone like you as family? I thought mentally, cursing my fate.

I shrugged. "You have no idea about what I am going through now in my life... I have to figure out many things." I whispered, suddenly feeling low, deprived of energy.

"Ok so... leave it.. tell me something you! Your fiance... Mr. A.." but before I could complete, Tara stood up, furious. She was looking agonized, as if deeply hurt.
