"Woohoo__" The girls shouted in unison as they all ran towards the sea, hand in hand.

"This is so funny." Gauri said as she ran backwards away from the wave that was hitting the shore.

"Gauri, that's not fun, this is fun." Jessica said as she unknotted her sarong, flashing her bikini.

"Yes, you should try this." Kathy said as she laid down on her towel, that was spread on the beach sand.

"Thank you, but I think getting tanned on beach is not a good option for my Asian skin." Gauri smiled.

Kathy and Jessica nodded in agreement and laid down on their beach towels.

Gauri stood facing the beach, eyes closed, her arms spread wide welcoming the cool breeze to hug her, her yellow knee length noodle strapped sundress flowing along the wind.

Her moment was cut short as a pair of hands wrapped her waist startling and making her turn around so fast that might have sprained her neck.

"Sam." Gauri shouted in shock as she jumped out of his hold. "What are you doing?"

"Come on, Gauri, let you hair loose, let's enjoy together and have fun." Sam said trying to grab Gauri's hand.

"No, Sam, I can't." Gauri said taking a step away from him, "I have a boyfriend."

"Oh, come on Gauri, he wouldn't know." Sam said, "We will keep it under covers."

"No." Gauri said sternly, "I am not gonna cheat on my boyfriend, never. ever. Stay away from me."

"Gauri, don't be a sissy." Sam said forcefully pulling Gauri towards him and trying to kiss her.

"Ouch__ahh." Sam groaned holding his male parts as Gauri kneed him hard in his groin.

"I did warned you, Sam, to stay away from me." Gauri said with anger laced in her voice.

"Gauri, what happened?" Kathy and Jessica, who came running towards Gauri, after hearing Sam's cries asked worried.

"Oh, it's nothing, I am just telling Sam, why he shouldn't force a girl." Gauri said pointing towards Sam, who was rolling on the beach sand cupping his groin.

"Oh Sammy, you shouldn't force a girl against her will, a no is NO." Jessica said looking at Sam.

"Pray to God, that her boyfriend doesn't get a wind of it, or else you should forget that once you had some organs that marked you as a male." Kathy said picking her nails.

"Yes, her boyfriend is strong and handsome than you." Jessica giggled.

"Hey Chris, Sammy here needs some man help." Kathy waved towards the other boys, who rushed to help Sam.

"Come on, Gauri, don't let this spoil your day." Jessica said grabbing Gauri's hand.

"Yes, we just found that a beach fair is going on on the other side of the beach, come, let's go and have fun." Kathy said pulling Gauri towards the other side of the beach.

"We went on a ferris wheel ride and ate cotton candy too." Gauri said narrating the happenings of the day, to Omkara, her back leaning against his front as he bracketed her, sitting in the sofa of the balcony, enjoying the cool breeze.

"Sounds like you really had fun." Omkara said pulling Gauri's hair to a side exposing her neck, "But I missed you." He confessed peppering kisses along her neck.

"I missed you too." Gauri said laying her head on his shoulder closing her eyes, enjoying the feelings her body is experiencing due to the proximity.

"I missed you more," Omkara said turning Gauri around to face him, "I missed these big eyes." He said kissing  her eyes, "chubby cheeks." –kiss–  "This Button nose," –kiss– "and mostly these sweet lips." Omkara said running his thumb over Gauri's lips, looking in her eyes.

"Kiss me, Gauri." He whispered grazing her lips with his and Gauri obliged him capturing his lower lips with her lips and nibbling on them softly making Omkara groan in ecstasy, wrapping his hands around her pulling her into his lap.

"Omkara." Gauri mumbled as they broke the kiss.

"God, I couldn't get enough of you." Omkara said pulling her into another passionate and hot kiss, Gauri gladly gave in wrapping her hands around his neck gripping his hair as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Gauri," Omkara said breaking the kiss and lifting Gauri off his lap, "you make me think of things that are sinful." He mumbled inaudibly, as he took deep breathes.

"Omkara, what happened?" Gauri asked looking at Omkara's sudden painful look, in concern. "Are you hurt?"

"No." Omkara smiled assuring Gauri, "I am alright." He kissed her nose.

"Then why did you pushed me off, did I do something wrong?" Gauri asked sadly.

"No," Omkara said immediately, "I am sorry for making you feel like that." He said taking Gauri's hands in his and pulling her closer to him, hugging her sideways, making her head lay on his chest. "Tell me what else you did today?" He said diverting the topic.

Gauri contemplated whether to tell Omkara about what happened in the beach with Sam or not, nervously playing with her fingers.

"Gauri." Omkara said lifting Gauri's face with his index finger making him face her. "You can tell me anything, you know that right?"

"Yes." Gauri nodded.

"What's bothering you?" Omkara asked in a gentle tone, encouraging Gauri to speak, looking into her eyes, making her tell the happenings of the day, as he listened to her every word with a calm demeanour.

"Believe me, Omkara, I didn't let him kiss me." Gauri said feeling worried about Omkara's reaction.

"I know and I believe you." Omkara smiled cupping Gauri's face, "I am also proud that, now you are capable of defending yourself, on your own." He kissed her forehead.

"You are not angry on me or Sam?" Gauri asked surprised.

"Angry on you, Never." Omkara smiled, "But, yes, I am surely angry on that Sam guy but my girl taught him a good lesson." He patted on her head in appreciation.

"I thought, you will be angry with him." Gauri smiled.

"And you are disappointed that I am not?" Omkara asked amused and Gauri shook her head in No.

"I will always be there to protect you, Gauri," Omkara said looking into Gauri's eyes, "I want you to face the world and learn the lessons on your own, I don't want to inhibit your growth, over shadowing your personal space."

"But if you want any help, I will be just a call away from you, just let me know and don't be afraid to let me know anything that bothers you, Okay." Omkara said looking into Gauri's eyes.

"Ok." Gauri smiled.

"Good." Omkara said kissing on Gauri's hair pulling her back into his arms.
