Chapter 18
Entire rest of the day two in
Krisanne's P.O.V
I'm amazed at just how casually Rey was flirting with Rochelle. We had just arrived, after he bought himself new footwear. We entered the house and I was completely forgotten, as usual.
Ayana caught me and sent a suggestive smile my way, the only thing was that I had no idea what it was suggesting.
Then, Ayana being Ayana, thought that this would be the perfect time to perform a concert. We launched into the song and laughter before Vihaan dropped the bomb of the arrival of the devil himself.
Kabir.
He was single handedly responsible for my childhood misery and the worst part was, that Vihaan had no idea. For Vih, he's his best friend. I guess Ayana understood my dilemma and that's when she suggested that we girls lock ourselves in our room.
I then slipped into the kitchen silently, filling my bag up with the loot. I could hear their bickering from outside and that's when I heard the French fries part. I slipped the frozen fries packet into my bag and then took a packet of chips and ice cream tub in my hand, quietly slipping into the room.
Then came the pact and the questions. A smile has always appeared on my face whenever we discussed our memories, especially how we became friends.
I won't deny it, it hurt to talk about my past. But I've learned to accept it.
Then came Amber's past. It hurt even more. What I went through its nothing compared to what she is going through. I had my parents to support me, she doesn't even have their support. To top it all, her brother is being a dick.
Then the call came and I felt the anxiety getting to me. I had wasted the entire day today when, instead, I was supposed to be training Rey. Now, in two days, how am I supposed to teach him everything?
We rushed out and then Ayana being Ayana, behaved stupid again. She informed the guys who looked tensed as well. Then suddenly, the bit that Ayana didn't disclose to us, came out.
I didn't blame her because she wasn't wrong in any way. For some odd reason, the guys got mad at her.
One thing you should know about Ayana, she's not going to accept any level of bullshit. She steps up and then she'll isolate herself, her defence mechanism works that way.
"She's not wrong and you'll have no right to blame her," I say and step ahead with my arms crossed,"and Ethan, you need to tone it down with the aggression."
He nods at me stiffly before walking away to his room. He's followed by Rey. I pull Amber with me and get seated on the sofa and Vihaan comes to join us.
"What were you finding so amusing?" Vihaan speaks up and I look up at him confused, thinking he's talking to me. I look up to see his gaze is directed on Amber.
She clears her throat before replying."Uh-its just how blatant Ayana is. It amuses me, I mean, she's got some serious guts."
I chuckle at that, a knowing smile on my face. Vihaan scoffs and shakes his head, knowing to well that Amber is right.
That reminds me, there's alot of work left, after all, we have a competition to plan and more importantly, execute. With that thought, I got up and left for my room.
*********************
Where the fuck is Ayana?
Its almost midnight and she's not come back to the room. I've already changed into my pj's and I'm really hungry after all the work I finished. I lazily walk out and walk to the kitchen effortlessly in the dark.
I step in and immediately feel something is not right. I lift my feet and place it down slowly, looking everywhere cautiously. I feel like I'm in a horror movie, where the ghost is suddenly about to attack me. I hear spoons cluttering slightly at the other end. The hair on my hands rise and my mouth goes dry.
What if there's a burglar?
What should I do?
If I scream it will alert him, he might attack me. If I don't he can harm me.
I walk closer to the table and carefully grope for something. My finger graze something like a handle and I take it in my hand. Now I slowly move towards the fridge.
No, not to eat, but for the light that switches on automatically. I could use the main light, but the light switch is on other side of the kitchen.
I move to the fridge, the thing with a handle in my hand, my body in attack mode. I set myself and open the fridge, a little light filling in the room immediately.
I swing my hand back, ready to attack when I see Rey standing there, equally alert, in his boxers.
I squeal and turn, covering my eyes.
"Rey! Why the fuck are you roaming around half naked inside the house?" I yell and I can hear him sighing, almost like a breath of relief.
"Well, in my defence, I wasn't expecting you in the kitchen. Besides, it's very hot and I can sleep then..." he trailed off and I roll my eyes, even though I know he can't see it.
I see an apron lying nearby, courtesy of the light coming from the fridge. I take a step ahead and lunge for the apron and chuck it at him without turning.
"Wear it."
I couldn't see his expression but I could feel the amusement in his voice."You want me to put on an apron on my boxers?"
I put my hands on my hips."Yeah, so I can turn around."
"Fine," he agrees and I tap my foot on the floor, waiting for him to finish.
"Done," he said. I cover my eyes and turn slowly. I open just a slight gap to check if he has actually put it on, and when I see he has, I remove my hands.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him and he shrugs before moving towards the fridge.
"Pretty much the same thing that you're doing," he says and grabs the bowl of left over noodles.
I raise an eyebrow at him and he narrows his eyes at me. I look down at the bowl and up at him again, that's when he understands what I'm implying.
"Oh. You want?" he asks and I nod.
"That's exactly what I had come for. No issues, we'll share."
He shrugs and moves to place the bowl in the micro to heat it. I grab two forks and settle down on the floor, in front of the fridge.
He turns and jumps a little, looking shocked."What are you doing?"
"Waiting for you to get the bowl so we can start eating?" I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Here?"
"Yeah, I'm not allowing you in the girl's room and I'm not coming with you to the boys room. So we sit here."
He slumps his shoulder and frowns."I'll feel hot!"
"In front of the fridge?"
"There's less light."
"No, I guess this is light enough. Just sit now."
Just then the microwave pings and he turns to remove the noodles out. He grumpily sits down next to me and folds his legs while I hand him his fork."I'm sitting in front of the fridge, in my boxers and an apron, eating noodles. Just great."
I hear him muttering but I ignore it, immediately diving in, almost mourning at the taste of the noodles.
"By the way, in case I was a burglar, you were going to hit me with a medium sized spoon?" he asks and I give him a confused look.
He looks behind me and I follow his gaze to see a serving spoon lying there, where I was just standing.
Oh, so this is what I picked up...
I shrug and turn to the food again."Well, the good news is, you're not a burglar!"
I take another two bites and realise that I'm the only one filling my spoon and stuffing it in my mouth. I look up at him to see him grinning down at me, with a raised eyebrow.
I raise my own eyebrow in question. He holds my gaze for a few seconds before taking a bite."You know, normally girls would die for a situation like this, me only in my boxers and stuff, but you threw an apron my way. Girls don't eat in front of me and try to act all hot and sophisticated, just to get my attention, while you're eating like I'm not in the room at all."
I shrug before answering him."I'm not your average girl. I'm a typical Indian girl who loves eating. So there is a major difference here."
He nods in understanding before both of us give the noodles in front of us out full attention.
He blocks my spoon or shifts away the bowl from me every now and then, with me struggling.
With all that teasing, fighting, day two finally came to an end.
