INAAYA'S POV

Waking up to Aubrey's squealing has always been my favourite part of the mornings.

 It reminds me of those happy times and also makes me believe that everything in this world is not planning something evil against. 

It reminded me of the innocence that is enclosed in her.

"Sissy, Sissy !" Says Aubrey.

"What is it Aubrey?" I asked her.

Even though I was happy to hear her squealing, I will never let her know that though.

"Guess what today is?" she asked 

"uhm..... Feb.... 14th?" It came out more as a question.

"Oh my god sissy how come you forgot! Its valentines day!" She said.

" Yea, I know! But why are you squealing so much about?" I asked.

"Sissy, u forgot remember the play date I told you about? At Emmett's? How could you forget? We are already late!  So hurry up!" She said.

And that's when I realised that my love life was and is as dry as the Sahara dessert.

Even Aubrey has a date! Just because I don't believe in it doesn't mean I don't wish for it.

"OK, OK ! Wait I'll be there in 10!"  I said.

Tomorrow is the Interview. Maybe I can start preparing for it. Anyway, I have nothing better to do today. I never hated red  as much as I do on Valentine's day. Its to much red everywhere.

I see Aubrey waiting for me impatiently. She dragged me to the car. How come she has so much energy at this time in the morning? I never know.

We start driving towards Emmett's house. She is telling me what all they both were going to do today and said that Emmett's mom was the one taking them everywhere.

I was relieved even though I knew that she was the one chaperoning them.

After dropping Aubrey and talking a bit to Emmets mom I left for home.
Just as I reached my apartment building 'Shape of you' starts blasting  through my phone. That's Zara.
Why this song? Cause its our jam as of right now. It changes  everytime we find our new jam. Perks of having an awsome best friend.

Don't tell her I told that, her ego doesn't need any inflation, Anyways I picked up the phone.

" Hey, whats up?" I asked.

"Hey, A dates up, thats what! "She said .

"And?........." I prompted her to continue.

There was a pause.

THE SILENCE BEFORE A STORM.

"I don't know what to wear. All of my dresses he has seen, and he told me to wear something fancy and I don't know what to do! This is my worse nightmare come true. What am I supposed to do ?....." She continued rambling.

"Calm down Zara, don't turn into datezilla." I said. Wait, is datezilla even a word? Never mind.

" I know, I know, but this is special, 6 years Inaaya, 6 freaking years, I am in love with him soo much, I want to make his jaw drop today. Wait I have an idea." She said.

"No Zara, by hearing that I know what your talking about and no I will not come" I said.

"Please, pretty please, you always do this, I come shopping with you whenever you ask me, just yesterday only I came with you ! You always ditch me.!" She said.

"I do not! I am ready anyday, just not today!" I said guiltily.

"Do you want me to point out everytime you did it? And whats wrong with today? You always do this!" she said accusingly

"Fine I'll come but we get out fast. Okay ?" I asked

"Maybe, let's see! " she said.

I hung up the call telling her to meet me in front of the mall in 30 .

Yea, I know, what's so much drama about?. It's just the mall, don't get me wrong, I love shopping but shopping today is one of my worst nightmare come true.

Nearing the mall and seeing the signs outside, I think of running for my life but then the stupid phone rang telling me Zara's calling and I decided to go in. The things I do for my best friend.

After parking my car, I ........
No No no no no no NO NO NO no no no no
Why god ?? Why do you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?

It's too much red. It looks like Cupid exploded in here and decided to kill me by shooting arrows at people and making it all lovey-dovey in here . Why is it  sparkly in here?

Anyways, I spot Zara and start walking towards her, cringing everytime I see couples, eating each others face off.

No wonder, I just realised why everyone calls me a drama queen.

" Hey" we both said together and started laughing. People around us were looking us like we were some kind of weirdos.

Wait, come to think of it, we are weirdos.

"So what type you looking for?" I asked her.

"Something fancy, elegant, sexy, with a surprise element in it! "She said smirking.

"Ummmmm....." I didn't say anything because the reason behind that smirk can and will corrupt my innocent mind.

I have been with her long enough to know what's going on in her mind just by looking at her face.

Sometimes, I feel bad for myself for this because she has some horrors going on in there.

"Maybe the surprise element can be from Victoria secret!" she said.
See this is what I was talking about.

"Zaraaa, no, you do that on your own ! We will look for the dress now!" I said with horror written all over my face.

We found a pretty little dress for her. Literally it was little, but then it was for Zack, So I let her. Who's Zack? right?Let me introduce you to Zack aka. Zara's boyfriend.

Zack is my bestfriends boyfriend ....Who she was gushing about before for being with for 6 years.... They have known each other for like from the age of 4... So, yea, you know the typical bestfriend becomes  boyfriend ..... They started dating only after highschool.
Yea....Thats the basic info on Zack.

I decided to go back home to practice for my interview, after we got Zara her dress. It was pretty red dress . When we reached her parking spot.

"Let me know all the detail of the date....I have good, very good vibes about today." I said and cringed realising what I said by seeing the smirk on her face.

"let me correct that. Tell me all about the part of the date that I should know, and leave the rest out." I said my face heating up.

She started laughing, seeing my face and I left her there. Literally without saying goodbye even....

**************************************************************

ZARA'S POV

Zack looked nervous. And I don't know why. We always have this date on this day. Its been going on for 6 years.

I remember, Our first date was on Valentines day. So, this day holds a special place in my heart.

"Zack! Are you okay? You look nervous and like you did something wrong !" I said. I even saw guilt on his face.

"Uh? umm......No I mean yea am fine and am not nervous?" His reply came out more like a question

"okay ! whatever it is you know you can tell me right?" I asked

"Yea, I know and have a little patience!" He said lookin a little less nervous.

We reached a restaurant. It looked fancy and nearing it I realised it was the place we had our first date.
After entering he led me to the table ..... exact same place like that day.

"So.............?" He asked after making me sit like the true gentleman he is.

"Its..... amazing! Even more amazing that, it looks exactly how it was on our first date." I said dreamily.

We ordered our food, and started eating it, when I noticed Zacks uneasiness.

"Zack, whats wrong? You look uneasy and nervous? " I asked him.

"Actually,I need to tell you something." He said, I nodded urging him to continue.

"We have been together for 6 years now, and known each other since we were 4. And first I felt bad that I didn't do this already. And I have been thinking to tell you this before and now am more than sure after the fight we had..." He looked guilty.

Hearing all this my mind was going in the wrong direction.
No, this can't be happening. Was what Inaaya always said about love going to be true?. Was I going to learn this in the hard way?.

And I asked the first question that came in my mind

"Are you breaking up with me?"

'Even the prettiest flower die one day.
Its natures way of showing us that nothing lasts forever.'
