Shaira's POV

Friends are very important part of our lives, they are there with us when sometimes even our parents are not there, they fill the gap and no matter how much we deny this fact and say that we can live all by ourselves but there are two things that we want in our lives permanently one is a loving life partner and second is a friend you can count on, he/she will be there for you whenever you need them. They are indeed very important for our existence.....

When I reached cafe I was grounded by Sophie and Olivia together as I was twenty minutes late! It's been almost a year since I am working here and there hasn't been a day when I was late but today thanks to Mr. Ayaan kapoor I am full twenty minutes late. Thinking about Ayaan my heart started doing its own assault and unknowingly my lips automatically curled into a warm smile which I didn't know until Olivia pointed it out to me!

"What the hell is going on?" She asked me keeping me at arms length checking me from head to toe whether I am all good or not.

"Nothing"I said rolling my eyes and all the way smiling which made her raise her eyebrows.

"Really shae? First you came twenty minutes late given that you hate late comer's then you are totally lost in your own fantasy world and on top of that from the moment you stepped in here you have been smiling like a lunatic whereas everyday when you walk in you never smile like this! You usually have that fake smile on your face and you look ready to bite anyone!" She said stating everything that it is the most obvious thing!

Whatever she is said is exactly true word by word line by line! This is how I am basically. My days are not like this at all and not everyday someone like Ayaan walk in my life out of nowhere and tell me I am not alone or he will be there with me forever.

He was indeed right i do seriously think about him a lot! All the words that he said to me were literally echoing in my head making me realise the effect he have on me.

"Shairaaaaa" I was brought back from my fantasy land as Ms.Olivia just said when she shook me hardly by my shoulders.

"What?" I asked her not knowing why is she reacting like this all of a sudden!

"What is wrong with you?" She said to me but this time in a authoritative manner. I wanted to laugh at the expression she was giving me like she is my mother and I have just lost my virginity and she is asking me an explanation for taking such a drastic step at such a tender age but I am not telling her anything!

"Why are you yelling at me?" I asked her and then laughed holding my stomach. My big blue eyes turned waterey and my stomach started to ache so much that I had to grab a chair which was nearby to catch my breath.

"It is Ayaan isn't it?" Olivia asked me seriously and for a split second all trace of humor was now gone but after a second a warm heart melting smile made its way and I couldn't help but agree with her this time.

"Ooh I knew it! By looking at him I could tell he is such a charmer and the way he looked at you it seems like he is in love with you since eternity. You two look so cute and hot together. You know when you were gone with him i told this to Sophie too and for once she also agreed with me!" She blabber but her particular word catch my attention and my whole body froze when thought about it.

"Oli I am not in love with him"i said to her to which her chocolate brown eyes widened on its own, keping her hands on her waist she added.

"Shae whether you admit it or not you are in love with him but I am not going to force knowing how you are but somewhere your subconscious has already accepted this fact. I am in love with Chase I know how it feels to be in love." She said keeping her right hand on my shoulder.

"But its been only nine days since I know him! How can I fell in love with someone so easily? You and Chase have been dating for six months and just last month when you celebrated your Five month anniversary You finally voiced your feelings to him. Then how can I fell in love in nine days? "I tried to reason out by stating all the obvious facts which I am aware of.

I know Chase, when I first met him, he came here to pick Olivia , i remember they were going on a date. At first i thought Chase is just a player who is just using Olivia given his looks.

His Gray eyes will make you capitulate, his muscles will make your throat dry and biceps will want you to rip his t-shirt. His dirty blonde hair doesn't help at all and jawline is so perfect that without even realizing what you are doing you will drool over him this is how Olivia explains Chase but for me he is just some one who wants to get into my friends pants! But over the period of six months I have known Chase I know he is sweet and really have some feelings for her. I like this fact that he respect Olivia's choices and instead of dominating her, he lets oli to dominate him. There is some equality in their relationship but he do always ask Olivia about her opinions, this is what I really like about him.

Olivia and Chase both are in love with each other, the way they hold each other's hands, the way they smile at each other, the way they hug each other, anyone can tell just by looking at them that they are mad for each other.

"You don't need an eternity to fall in love with someone Shaira! Sometimes even a single second is enough for you to fall for that person." She said keeping a hand on my shoulder bringing me back to reality.

"Olivia what you are saying maybe it's true but I don't think it is true in my case." I said shrugging my shoulders. For me its too hard to believe that I like Ayaan and to confront this fact that I am in love with him is total new level!

It's just too difficulT for me to grasp that I am in love with someone let alone that person is Ayaan whom I just met few days ago! It all sounds so insane!

"Just remember one thing Shae you don't have to make me believe that whether you are in love or not what matters is what your heart is saying. If it accelerates the moment he comes near you, If you don't know what to say when he is near you and what to even ask then just confess it to yourself dear that now your heart is not entirely your's, it now belongs to someone else." She said so calmly that I found myself getting lost in them.

"Oli I do like it when he is near me, it feels good and to be honest it feels awfully good but I don't want to trust him easily. I have my share of insecurities and its difficult to let my emotions rule me when in reality there is a storm making its way in my whole mind telling me to not give in so easily. It is difficult for me to believe that he is there for me. It is damn difficult for me but I think this time I don't have any choice.

You know what; whether he is near me or not But I feel strangely connected to him like we know each other from God knows how many years. He makes me believe that it is not a crime to laugh or to be happy and at times it is perfectly fine to be happy all the time. You don't to be worried for what is coming next all you want to do is live in the moment. All of this that is happening with me is scaring the bejejus out of me and I don't have the slightest idea what should I do" I said to her and felt so much relieved like a whole lot of burden is now off my shoulders.

"You know, this is for the first time you have ever discussed anything that is going on in your life." Olivia said, my own eyes widened on its own accord when her word registered in my mind and for a moment all the problems that I had a second ago were now replaced with the love that I felt towards Olivia.

Indeed she is absolutely right this is for the first time when I have voiced out my emotions to her. Every time it is the other way round. Her eyes glistened and my eyes became watery too. For once I didn't felt bad for sharing my thoughts with someone.

"You are changing Shae! And the best part is Ayaan is teaching you how to be expressive and this time even I want to thank him to bring this side of yours out. Finally you consider me as your friend." she said and choked in the end.

I couldn't able to hold it anymore and threw myself in her arms. For the first time I didn't flinched when Olivia's small hands were on my back. In fact more than anything it felt good to be in someone ele's arms who cares for yOu deeply. My own tears made its way and then Sophie joined us too. We all three hugged each other like its the last day of our existence but it felt good to know that someone is out there who cares for no matter whether you care for them or not.

"You are very good friend oli and thank you for sticking by my side when I was ready to push you"I said to her wiping her tears.

"I am always there for you shae, always." She said smiling all the way and hugged me once more.

"Don't you two have to work today?" Sophie said wiping her own tears, giving us her death glares and we both bursts into fits of laughter listening to her. She was trying to intimidate us but failed miserably!

While walking towards the kitchen what I was thinking only one thing that just because of Ayaan I got a new friend today. She was right there beside me but I always pushed her away thinking she might break my trust or betray in one or the other way but little did I know she is there to stay forever. She is the one on whom in future maybe I can count on.

With this thought I walked inside the kitchen and busied myself in all the chores that were waiting for me but with a smile which wasn't force one, it was a genuine smile as I voiced my emotions to two people today. First it was Ayaan and then it was Olivia...

I don't have any clue whether I am in love with Ayaan or not but whatever she said was true . Maybe with time things will be more clear. I just know one thing whatever that I have for him is too strong to ever fade away....

Wohoo so what all you think about shaira?

Finally she is letting people in! What do you think whatever she is doing is right or not?
