This morning – I suddenly remembered a rather spicy love story I had written long back.
So – let me delve into my creative writing archives and pull out this spicy love story I wrote 6 few years ago – in early 2010...
“LOVE BITE”
Short Fiction – A Very Short Story

A “QUICK BITE” AT ‘QUICK BITE’ – Short Story by Vikram Karve
I am having a Quick Bite at Quick Bite…!
Hey – I am not trying to be funny.
“Quick Bite” is the fast food joint opposite our office complex where we often rush out to have a ‘Quick Bite’.
I sit at a table for two – concluding my quick bite with a cup of coffee – when I see the office “macho-man” Raj enter Quick Bite for a quick bite.
His eyes search for a vacant table – but “Quick Bite” is jam-packed.
Raj looks in my direction.
I beckon him to sit on the vacant chair opposite me.
As Raj settles down in his chair – I ask him: “All alone…? Where is your girlfriend…?”
“Girlfriend…?” he asks.
“Rita…” I say.
“Rita is no longer my girlfriend…” Raj says.
"Really?" I interrupt, “That’s great. It is good you dumped Rita. She is a shameless nympho.”
“Rita...? Shameless nympho...? What are you saying...?” Raj asks.
“Musical Beds – Ha Ha – Musical Beds...!” I say, laughing.
“Musical Beds...?” Raj asks.
“Ha Ha – Rita – that’s what we called her in college – that shameless nympho Rita – we called her ‘Musical Beds’ – yes – Rita’s nickname was ‘Musical Beds’ – just like we play Musical Chairs – Rita plays Musical Beds – but let me tell you Raj – better late than never – you have done the right thing – you had a ball with Rita – and now – you have dumped her – yes – Raj –you have done the wisest thing by dumping that shameless nympho Rita...” I say.
Then – I hurriedly gulp down the remains of my coffee.
Raj looks at me with a perplexed expression on his face.
But I am in a hurry – and – I have got a lot of work to do.
So I quickly get up – smile at Raj – pat his shoulder – and rush back towards my office.
Suddenly – I see Rita talking to my colleague Chanchal near the entrance of the office.
Chanchal waves out – and she calls out to me.
So – I go towards Rita and Chanchal.
“Hey – you know what...?” my chatterbox colleague Chanchal says excitedly the moment I come near them.
“What...?” I ask.
“Rita and Raj got married yesterday. It was a very sudden secret hush-hush affair – parents’ opposition – you know. That’s why they did not tell anybody...” Chanchal says.
“Really...? You got married to Raj...?” I ask, surprised.
Rita looks at me and she says: “Yes – I got married to Raj yesterday. So – I am not your friend Raj’s girlfriend anymore. Yes – I am no longer his girlfriend – now – I am his wife.”
With these words – Rita turns around with a flourish – and she walks towards “Quick Bite” for a ‘Quick Bite’ with Raj.
