....Preet...

"I am considering myself absolutely positively insane to do this with you." Aryan sighed.

"I second that wholeheartedly." I replied laughing.

"Why couldn't you do this with your friends?" He questioned.

"Uhh, because I wanted to do this with you." I replied casually.

"I shouldn't have said Yes." He said to no one in particular.

"There's a reason you are here." I replied in a challenging manner.

"Yeah its called you literally dragged me."

"I'd like to think you are here for me." I replied with a strange hope.

"Naah, I am pretty sure its you dragging me " hereplied as we rummaged through racks and racks of a store.
Currently we were looking out for dresses for my friends for their Prom night. As I had promised Abhi I would buy a dress for Kavya, Zayn asked me the same and my poor brother had no option.
I being the sweet friend I am also decided to buy the suits for the boys.
We were done with Kavya and Anya's dress and Abhi and Zayn's suit and were currently looking something for Tara when suddenly my eyes caught sight of a beautiful chiffon off shoulders red dress. I showed it to Aryan.

"I bet you to make Tara wear it." He challenged.

"We are taking it." I announced and then moved towards mens section for Aryan.

After what felt like years we were finally done with the shopping and returned home, had dinner and now were packing Aryan's suitcase as he had to leave in an hour.

"You sure you aren't coming?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered unsure myself.

Later after Aryan left I received a text from Kabir.

"You sure you wouldn't be coming earlier." He asked.

"Cent percent." I texted back.

"I wish you would." He texted again and then I called him.
He picked up at the very first ring.

"Heylo." I chirped.

"Hi" he replied.

"Acha listen I am sending something for you. Wear that for the Prom okay."

"Hmm." He replied.

"By the way who is you partner?" I asked genuinely curious.

"No one." He answered casually.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because my partner is in London." He replied going back to his flirty mode.

"Again flirting, you have a one track mind.". I teased

"But seriously why don't you ask someone out?" I forced him

"Because that someone isn't you Preet." That did the trick and I shut my mouth.

We talked for an hour or so and soon he drifted off to sleep.

I was going through all that happened today. Him flying in just for my graduation. Not forcing me to come for the prom. Allowing me to live my life my way.
For a change when ke kissed me on my forehead I felt good, I felt secured, I felt cared.
This feeling was new and I totally liked it.

I was packing my bags since I had to leave soon, when I received a conference call from Kavya and Anya.

They were thanking me for the dresses and told me about the preparations happening.

Next call was from Tara, telling me she couldn't carry that dress. After brain washing her she was finally wearing the dress. I was thinking about something when suddenly it struck me.
I called up Abhi and had a talk with him.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Okay then let's do this." He replied confidently.

Hanging up on him I got back to my work.
