HAZEL ARORA

I woke up in a haze. My head felt dizzy, and my body felt weak, but I couldn't care less. Strong hands embraced me as I was buried into his warm chest. I rolled my sleepy eyes in ecstasy when the cherry scent enclosed my nose. I couldn't help but smile slightly. I realized I was wearing nothing except Ayushmann's oversized t-shirt. We had slept on his bed after our shower and a bottle of wine.

"Mornin', darling." Ayushmann spoke up in a groggy morning voice, which sounded fucking hot.

"Hey, morning!" I replied, without opening my eyes.

"What's up with you? Are you ok?" he asked all concerned at once.

"Yeah! Just a little lazy." I replied with a yawn, forcing myself to face him.

"Lazy? Or did I make you too tired to even open your eyes?" he asked with a smirk in his lips.

I suddenly rose half of my body up. Butterflies managed their ways inside my stomach as I recalled what had happened last night.

"Huh, uh- what? No." I replied immediately, frowning my eyebrows. I could feel my cheeks burning.

Ayushmann rose up at my instance. He pulled me closer by waist and said with a proud smirk on his face, "Something tells me otherwise, baby."

"C'mon, as if you could make me that tired." I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

"Oh darling! I could make you unable to walk for days, if you let me to." He said, whispering in my ears, suddenly his voice became raspier, and his pupils enlarged.

"Ayushmann," I whispered gently, coming closer to his face, sounding extremely dreamy, making myself almost take up on that offer, but I regained myself and spoke in a sudden shrilled voice, "WHAT THE FUCK? Its fucking 8 in the morning, keep your horny dick off me."

I threw a pillow on his face, as I suddenly stood up. I felt my legs go jelly, but I regained myself. Suddenly my cheeks burnt with the unmistakable shade of crimson as I realized why it happened. This act didn't go unnoticed by him.

What he did yesterday made my knees jelly already, and he was saying he could do much more than that?

I'm fucked.

He smirked looking at me, but instantly carried me through the door.

"Someone's gonna see us." I said, as we reached the enclosed corridor.

"We've been seen making out enough already. This ain't a big deal." He replied, flatly.

"Move your ass!" I said as Kaia managed to fall in my bed as soon as she erupted into the room.

"Can't you let yourself get in the heavenly indulgence of my dreamy aura for once?" Kaia said embracing me, quite opposite of what I asked her to.

"Where are you coming from?" I questioned her as she went to her Mission last evening and had returned after twenty-four whole hours.

"Yeah, I just went to a date with Peter, nothing much, he got bonked on his head. I managed to bandage him, and I am hoping he hasn't died yet. He seemed quite OK after I shot him up some painkillers." She said in an unusually normal tone.

"I wish I could talk like you do." I gave her a dramatic side eye in response.

"Oh dear! Why does God give the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers?" she said with a dramatic hand on her chest, as we both laughed our asses off.

"You could have called me; I would have helped Pete." I said in a genuine tone. "And why aren't you with him?"

She smiled at my offer and replied, "I could have. But I didn't wanna ruin your hot shot sexy time. He is OK now and is sleeping."

She smirked seeing me turn all red within a matter of seconds. "With your hot boyfriend, Ayushmann, weren't you?" She asked, clearly taking the advantage of seeing me like that.

"What boyfriend? There's nothing going on." I said, quickly, reddening more, if that was possible.

"Ah you know, the same guy, who has a notebook filled with your sketches." Kaia said, clearly enjoying seeing me.

"OK, I am genuinely confused, what the hell are you talking about?" I asked quizzically. Why would he even?

"Girl, you are an arse for real. Have you never been to his room? He has a whole ass notebook filled with your portraits." She said, smacking the pillow on my face in frustration, "Peter told me Ayushmann showed it to him once."

I got butterflies thinking if that was real. "Wow OK, I didn't know or need to know this. Besides, he'd never shown me that." I said in a slow voice.

"Oh please, end your mysterious relationship and be clear of your feelings first." She spoke.

"Oh, stop it! None of us have feelings for each other." I replied coolly.

"Girl I would have married him till now if I were you."

"I always knew you had a thing for him." I shouted, laughing as I threw the same pillow on her face.

"Oh, fuck off, Hell no, he's your man." Kaia said and the burning sensation on my cheeks returned.

"I will smack the fuck out of you if you say that one more time."

"Oh, dear Lord, save me, I'm shit scared." She said mocking me, in a dramatic tone, as we both laughed.
