The Devil's Sweetheart

Grasping the water bottle Salsa was carrying, Leena headed towards the destination she has set on her mind. At once, her bold moves startled Kyle as if she knew the outcome

"Where is she going?" Wendy directed her angry scowl at Leena and when she sensed her moving in a certain direction, her rage was burning through her. She is still the same. Always snatching away my princes.

"Don't go near him Jurassic! That rascal is a very bad person." Salsa screamed looking at the retiring girl who was not even hearing his whimpers. First, he felt utter confusion when Leena snatched the bottle, then shock crossed his face when he saw her moving towards that rascal. The result, he wailed like a child.

Ignoring his cries, Wendy was confused by the name he was using to address that witch.

"Hey, nutty! Her name is crazy Leena." Wendy corrected scornfully gazing at the thriving figure.

"But I like to call her Jurassic. By the way, She is Jurassic from Jiffy." He said.

"Jurassic from Jiffy! No wonder she is a weirdo just like you." Wendy sniggered.

"She is not weird. Jurassic is very friendly." He grinned like a Cheshire cat thinking of the socks toss game they both played yesterday.

"Even a nut like you is smitten by that seducer. Look at that woman, shamelessly going after my prince even after I claimed him to be mine." Slurping a lollipop she started belittling Leena.

"She is not that kind of girl." Instantly Salsa moved back, away from Wendy to save his face from getting sprayed by her lollipop juices

"It's because you have seen her merely for two days. I have been observing her for four years. She has slept with many actors and old directors to climb in her career. That's how she has become a renowned model." Wendy snickered. Although she is aware of Leena's hatred and her distance towards men, Wendy has long discerned Leena's purpose of her deeds.

"She plays hard to get until she lures men into the bed." She added.

"You are a big liar. Liar liar, your panties will get into the fire." Salsa grinned getting up from his seat to walk away from the foolish woman.

" "

If Leena has heard Wendy's thoughts, she would have laughed at her foolish claims calling her a maniac. That is is the sheer reason, Wendy always bitches behind Leena's back to quench her anger.

...

Devin was intense with all the vigor of harsh and brutal moves he played after a long time in the basketball. Feeling thirsty, he embarked striding into the house. Despite many women offered water and energy drinks, he didn't bother entertaining anyone and went straight ahead. Not that he is repulsed by them, he doesn't want to boost their expectations.

The instant he lunged near the patio, his footsteps halted when he was abruptly blocked by someone. Gaping, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him holding a water bottle in her hands.

Devin hastily fluttered his eyes in confusion. He was having a hard time connecting if whatever he is seeing now was a dream or reality. She is even lending me a bottle now?

"It must be a dream. My sweetheart only knows to kick me." Whispering, Devin tried to walk away.

"Look, I told you, Leah. He would not accept it." Kyle beamed. The idea of trying again was hovering over her mind but Kyle did not want to get humiliated in front of everyone like Leena when she knew Devin would not take it.

"It shouldn't have happened. Vincy loves her crazily." Leah muttered in a soft voice which was hard to hear for the person sitting next to her. What the hell he is doing. Devin would go crazy if Leena just smiles at him and now that she herself has initiated, Leah was scolding him for giving up such a good opportunity. Idiot! He will regret it soon.

"He didn't even glance when the most beautiful women went behind him. Much less Leena's mediocre beauty." Poor her. Kyle sighed shaking her head. She felt bad for Leena. She was in the same position once before.

But what Kyle did not expect is that her theory would be proven wrong in no time.

...

Leena doesn't know why she is standing like a silly high school girl holding a bottle of water waiting for his match to finish and she was actually anticipating this idiot to take it from her hands. She doesn't know anything about him, not even his name but when Kyle confided that he doesn't accept anything from girls or glances at them, her face brightened up. So he is not a playboy?

If Kyle has boosted Devin's achievements and his refusal towards women, she has done a good job in provoking Leena's ego which brought her here.

Smiling, Leena offered the bottle and she even opened the cap, but Devin just stood grounded there without receiving it, and to further annoy her, he now started staring at her with his lips parted. Her mood turned sour with his refusal.

"Can't he accept once for all and save my image?" Leena cried under her breath. She has expected Devin would at least get frightened thinking that she would kick him out of the room if he doesn't acknowledge her now.

"Stupid fellow, Wanker idiot." Even when she was scolding him, Devin didn't move or change his expression. When Leena looked around and saw the judging stares throwing at her, the little self-esteem she has maintained till now has worn away. She felt prickling pain at the thought of his rejection like he did it with other women. Now the smile was replaced by anger and instantaneously Leena kicked him not before running away.

Only when he felt a strong kick in his leg, Devin came back from his stupor. Looking up, he saw his darling escaping away creating a distance from him and that's when he realized. She has really appeared in front of him.

Running a hand through his already disheveled hair, he blamed himself.

Cursing at his foolishness, Devin hurriedly went behind her clearing their distance.

Walking towards her with his long legs, he cleared the distance and held her hands. He yanked her hand again which she was trying to jerk him away.

He exhaled a deep sigh. She will sure throw her tantrums now. Why not? He has hit the sour spot which she cares the most. Her pride.

"What should I do to curb her anger. I will buy her favorite dresses or I will make a banana smoothie. If she doesn't accept them, I will just hold her legs tonight until she accepts my sorry." Devin was coming up with all the ideas to suppress her resentment towards him when her furious voice entered in his ears which scared him.

"Leave my hand, idiot," Leena yelled trying to pull her wrist back, but his grip was stronger than a warrior yet his gentle caress was touching her skies.

"Sorry! Actually, I was shocked to see you here. Furthermore, you even brought water which I was not expecting." Devin softly talked trying to test the water if she would buy him.

"I did not bring it for you! You are flogging a dead horse." Even though Leena was trying to put up a strong facade, it was slowly perishing when he came back for her. But still, he needs a little punishment for crushing her pride in front of everyone.

"Alright sweetheart. I will not overthink. Can you give me some water? I am really thirsty." Devin put up his innocent face thinking that it would work on her. The teasing Devin was replaced by a puppy faced Devin now.

"I am not giving and don't call me sweetheart." Opening the bottle cap, Leena gulped down half off the bottle. "I have sipped it already. I bet Mr. Adoni's mind someone's left_"

Before Leena could finish her sentence, Devin grabbed the bottle from her hands and downed the entire content.

"Hey! I sipped it already. How can you drink it." Her face flushed with his sudden actions. Leena expected he would back off when she actually put her tongue into the bottle due in her anger, but to her shock, he downed the entire bottle without any hesitation. With a shy face, she raised her head. Ogling at his face which has turned hotter now after his rigorous workout, she felt he was looking like a Roman Sex God.

Completely enthralled by him, Leena didn't realize he had bent his head to her ear level. Only when his lips touched her ears, she felt tense.

"It tastes sweeter now." He whispered into her ears. His voice was raspy as if he has spoken from his chest than his head.

Her face turned scarlet red and for a moment she stopped her breath when he came in her ears.

Many were blown away by their interactions and some were drowning with jealousy but they were in their own world.
