Sunita's got this fiery, straightforward personality.
She believes if you like someone, you should go after them, and she's brimming with confidence in herself.
After lunch,
Arjun drove Sunita to Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills is a global fashion hotspot, a place many dream about.
It's home to the top fashion brands, the latest trends, and the biggest celebrities...
Today, the place was bustling with tourists, but it wasn't too crowded, making for a great shopping atmosphere.
Arjun had his DSLR around his neck, ready to snap photos of Sunita.
Sunita loves being in front of the camera, and well, her looks definitely play a part.
"Click, click, click!"
Sometimes Sunita would lead, and Arjun would shoot from behind.
Other times, Sunita would hang back, and Arjun would take the lead.
Sunita, in her pink maxi dress, showcased her 5'9" frame and long legs to full effect.
Her hair wasn't in a ponytail but draped over her shoulders.
Youthful, vibrant, and naturally stunning—she looked like a fairy.
It wasn't just Arjun who was smitten.
Men passing by couldn't help but turn their heads.
If it weren't for Arjun's tall, muscular build, guys would've definitely tried chatting her up.
Sunita was having a blast shopping.
Midway through, she turned to Arjun and said, "Arjun, let's take a selfie together."
"OK!"
Arjun asked a passerby—a Caucasian tourist—to take their picture.
Being interviewed often, Arjun was pretty good in front of the camera too.
Sunita casually looped her arm through Arjun's, resting her head on his shoulder.
Arjun could feel her heart racing.
He didn't pull away, totally in sync with her.
"Click, click, click!!"
Sunita and Arjun snapped a few photos together.
A handsome guy and a pretty girl—they both looked great on camera.
Looking at the photos on the camera, Sunita beamed, "See, Arjun, we look so good together. You better seize the opportunity."
Arjun smiled and nodded at the photos, "We really do."
Seeing Sunita so happy, Arjun felt it too—dating a girl like her wouldn't be so bad.
This time, Arjun took the initiative and held Sunita's hand.
In their relationship, Sunita had taken 99 steps, and Arjun took the final one.
Sunita's hand was soft, her fingers delicate, and Arjun could feel her nervousness.
Usually talkative, Sunita fell silent this time, just enjoying the moment.
Sunita had always been the proactive one, and between them, no formal confessions were needed—it all just happened naturally.
Arjun held Sunita's hand as they strolled for a long time.
Back at the car,
"Do you really like me? It's not just because you're moved or something?" Sunita looked up at him with those big, adorable eyes.
Arjun nodded, "For real."
Tall, beautiful, and with a bubbly personality, Arjun had no reason not to like Sunita.
He just hadn't realized it until now.
Seeing their photos together, Arjun felt they just clicked.
They looked right together, their personalities matched, so why not be together? Arjun's approach to love was simple.
As for the future, they'd figure it out when it comes.
"Yay, finally made it! I'm gonna text Priya," Sunita said excitedly.
"When she comes, we'll take her out to eat," Arjun smiled.
"Of course, she's my best friend," Sunita replied with a laugh.
At 4:30 PM,
Arjun took Sunita to Venice Beach.
As soon as they got out of the car, Arjun could hear the lively atmosphere filled with the sound of drums from the beach.
Venice Beach is known for its drum circles, with bands playing impromptu sessions from noon until sunset.
"What are we doing here?" Sunita asked.
"Watching the sunset," Arjun replied.
Arjun had heard from Westbrook that the sunsets here were something special, and he wanted to see for himself.
It was a bit chilly by the Los Angeles seaside in winter, so Arjun draped his jacket over Sunita.
Venice Beach is vast, so they walked away from the drums, strolling quietly on the sand, enjoying the serene moment—it was quite romantic.
"Look, there's a basketball court over there. Should we check it out?" Sunita pointed excitedly towards a court near the beach.
The courts at Venice Beach are some of the most unique in Los Angeles, where you can enjoy the beautiful beach views while playing.
A crowd had gathered around the court, clearly there for some event.
From a distance, Arjun watched for a while and realized the level of play wasn't very high,there were no real pros.
"Let's skip it. After the sunset, we'll head to Staples Center to catch the Lakers' Christmas game," Arjun suggested.
After playing in the NCAA, streetball didn't really excite Arjun anymore,the skill gap was too wide to be interesting.
Ben Howland also banned his Bruins players from playing streetball to avoid injuries.
An injury could have significant repercussions, not just affecting the team's performance but also the players' draft prospects.
"Sounds good, I'll follow your lead," Sunita nodded.
After their relationship had evolved, Sunita had become quite compliant, with Arjun clearly taking the lead.
They continued their leisurely walk on the quieter parts of the beach, fully enjoying the sea breeze and the sand.
After a while, Sunita's nose twitched.
Arjun shielded her from the wind.
"You need to get more exercise," Arjun remarked.
"Will you join me?" Sunita cooed.
"I can do that, twice a week," Arjun agreed.
"Deal," Sunita pouted.
Although Sunita liked basketball, her athletic skills were pretty poor, and she wasn't fond of working out on her own.
After walking a bit more, Sunita playfully complained, "Arjun, I'm tired. I don't want to walk anymore."
"Hop on, I'll carry you," Arjun said, lowering his center of gravity slightly.
Sunita climbed onto his back, wrapping her legs around his waist.
At about 120 pounds and her height, she wasn't skinny but not heavy either.
Arjun easily lifted her, his hands supporting her hips, enjoying the feel of her fit figure.
"You're too thin."
"I don't want to be any heavier."
...
Sunita lay on Arjun's back, enjoying the solid and secure feeling.
Soon, they found a railing where Arjun set Sunita down, and they waited for the sunset.
Before long, dusk arrived, blending the beach and the sea into one, with the red sun slowly sinking towards the horizon.
The sea breeze tousled Sunita's hair.
Children playing on the beach, women in bikinis jumping around, and the lingering sunlight created a romantic scene.
Watching Sunita gaze at the sunset, Arjun knew he had made the right choice bringing her here.
No girl can resist a bit of romance.
Looking at Sunita's serene profile, Arjun thought she looked beautiful in her quiet moments.
Without hesitating much, Arjun leaned in, slightly bowing his head.
Feeling Arjun's breath drawing closer, Sunita knew what was coming.
She turned towards him, tilted her head up, closed her eyes, and Arjun could feel her heartbeat speeding up.
Soon, Arjun wrapped his arms around Sunita, leaning in for a kiss.
Their lips met.
They weren't the only ones,many couples around them chose this romantic moment to kiss.
Sunita was nervous, unsure how to respond, but Arjun led the way.
Gradually, Sunita got into it, interacting more with Arjun.
After a while, they parted, with Sunita almost completely leaning against Arjun.
PS:Let's add some romance this weekend. Have a great weekend!!!
