Meant for each other

22. On The Way

I sit close to Arjun trying to understand everything he says as he explains that game to me and even after some rounds I just nod my head still not in the mood to play.

"Show" Virat bhaiya said as he put in some chips in the middle and Arjun smiled before keeping his cards down. Arjun's smile widens as he sees Bhaiya's cards indicating he won. Bhaiya had the kings of all suits and Arjun had 10 to 7 number of the same suit.

"I won again" Arjun said happily and wrapped his arm around my shoulder squeezing me a bit while I just hit his arm lightly looking at everyone in the room.

"Arjun, change seats with me." Akshit bhaiya said moving his hand calling Arjun to sit in his space and Arjun shook his head

"Why will I" he asked shaking his head and giving bhaiya a look

"Because I am losing in this place. Come and change seats with me" Akshit bhaiya said insisting and in a bit authoritative tone and I smiled at the conversation in between the brothers

"But I am winning here" Arjun said in a bit whiny tone and I chuckled lightly and Arjun turned to give me a look now and I gave him a sheepish smile.

"Arjun" Akshit bhaiya said in a stern voice and Arjun made a face but stood up in his place and held my hand. I looked at him in confusion as he started moving there trying to drag me with him

"Where are you taking her?" Shipra bhabhi asked Arjun giving him a raised eyebrow look

"There" he said pointing to the now empty space where previously Akshit bhaiya was sitting

"She doesn't need to change her place" Urvashi bhabhi said in a teasing way and Arjun frowned as he looked in between his bhaiyas and bhabhis.

"But I uh I am teaching her" Arjun said clutching my hand tightly and I sucked in my lips trying to control the smile coming on my face

"I can teach her" Akshit bhaiya said as he came and sat next to me and gave me a smile which I returned. Arjun looked at me and I shrugged and he left my hand with a sulky face and I turned my face to hide my smile

"Fine" he muttered as he sat in the place Akshit bhaiya was sitting and cards were dealt in again and I sneaked a peak in Akshit bhaiya's card instantly realizing that changing place did help him a bit. The cards were okay and could win.

"I won" Arjun said throwing his cards down at the end still sitting with quite a pouty face and I saw Virat bhaiya shook his head

"Navika, come here or else he is going to sulk the whole night" Virat bhaiya said looking at me and I nodded my head blushing a bit at his words and Arjun's actions

"I am not sulking" Arjun said looking up and Virat bhaiya raised his one eyebrow giving him a bit challenging look

"Fine then we then don't need to change seats" Virat bhaiya said now looking at me and shaking his head. His tone had a bit of teasing in it and I looked at Arjun who made a face

"No please. Don't do that" Arjun said instantly and everyone in the room chuckled and I looked down at my lap blushing and Virat bhaiya got up from his position and I shifted to sit next to Arjun.

He smiled as I sat next to and shifted a bit closer to me and I blushed looking in the other direction to where he was sitting. The cards were dealt again and they continued playing. I yawn as I start to feel sleepy. I look around and see Arjun's shoulder very close to me looking tempting.

I lie my head down softly on his shoulder and feel him stiffen for a moment but shift closer towards me the next second and I lightly closed my eyes listening to them fighting and laughing.
