This is dedicated to _ManhaIrfaan_ for being the first person here I was able to share a bond with, I will never be able to thank you enough for checking up on me and staying in contact even when I forget to, so I hope this shows how greatful I am

Jennifer's POV-

I yawned as Rajesh gave me a warm cup of tea, placing it before me I smiled up at him, it was nice having Rajesh on set with me again, after Beyhadh he had quickly become like a second father to me, always pushing me to do my best in every scene

"Meow"

I jumped up, letting out a shrill scream, my hand resting on my chest as I turned around to see Harshad peering up at me from the floor, laughing loudly at me

"I cant believe you did that" I shook my head, I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks, he was always joking around with me, catching me off guard

Rajesh stood up, laughing loudly "Its my scene, ill see you both in a while" he walked off laughing again

I sat down, Harshad sitting opposite me he smirked before laughing again "Ive never seen someone scream so loudly"

I narrowed my eyes, flicking my hair "I hate you for doing that" laughing again, I took a moment to look up at him, laughing with him was so easy, conversation flowed without any effort and I always had a smile on my face with him, it was strange, I hadn't felt this close to someone so quickly in such a long time

Namita walked over smiling "Here you both are, I was wondering what you both were doing" she sat down quickly

"Harshad thought it was a good idea to scare me, so im just catching my breath" I pulled my hair behind me and rested it on the back of the chair

"You should have seen her face, actually I got a picture that Rajesh took, look" he pulled out his phone only for me to grab it, and within seconds I was running off with it

"Hey, Jenny, come back" Harshad called, chasing me around the props as I stopped, bending over to laugh then inching back as he got within arms length

"Nope, im deleting this photo" I went to press the delete button when his arm wrapped around my waist, lifting me from the ground effortlessly he spun me around and grabbed his phone slipping it back into his jeans pocket but still not letting me go

"Harshad, let me go" I struggled in his hold, trying to stop myself from laughing even more but only failing as he moved his left hand to tickle my side making me jump up, laughing loudly again

His husky laugh sent shivers down my spine, but I was quickly brought back to reality when he placed me down and turned me to face him "Next time, don't steal my phone" he spoke a little breathlessly and all I could focus on was his right arm still wound around my waist tightly

"I um" I stepped back making him drop his arm uncomfortably

"Ill see you around" he shook his hair as he walked away as I fell back into my chair, so confused by what was going on between us, sometimes he seemed like my friend other times it felt like we were partaking in a dangerous game of flirtation, sighing heavily I stood back up and made my way to my dressing room in hopes of having a few minutes of peace

It wasn't long before there was knocking on the door, I opened it to see Harshad looking anxious "Can I speak to you"

I ushered him in, closing the door behind him "Whats up"

"I guess im just here about whats been happening lately, you keep looking at me like ive done something wrong" he pulled a face

"Jesus christ" I muttered "No, its nothing like that, just sometimes it can be confusing is all"

Harshad pinched the brim of his nose "Confusing"

"What I mean is, is um"

I was cut off by him nodding "I get it, ive made you uncomfortable, its because ive been around you a lot isnt it, we work together and now I hang out with you, its fine Jennifer, I get it"

I frowned at his sudden change in tone, it was unusual him calling me Jennifer when he usually addressed me as Jenny, "No, it isnt that, I enjoy your company, I dont really know what's going on, I guess im just not used to clicking with someone so quickly" I laughed uncomfortably

His expression changed quickly, a smile lighting up his face "Of course, I get it, it scares me to" then he turned and walked out of the room leaving me alone with more stressful thoughts than before

It was late now, shooting had continued for hours and I was struggling to stay awake, I didnt realise when my body started to sway until I saw Harshad's hand reach out to steady me

"You okay" his concern was sweet making me feel slightly uncomfortable, it seemed so easy to get taken in by him, but that wasn't a pathway I wished to ever go down again, I had lived that life before and it hadn't ended well

"I think thats enough for one night" someone shouted making me sigh with relief

"Is your car back yet, or do you need a lift"

It was true my car was back but I felt in no place to drive so instead I shook my head and followed him outside, hoping he didnt see my car, I slipped into the passenger seat quickly strapping myself in, hoping I would get the courage to talk to Harshad properly

"You'll have to guide me" he smiled

"Sure, look about earlier, I am sorry if I made you"

He shook his head "Think nothing of it, you know me im a deep thinker, I look to much into things and forget that others dont, you take life as it is, I just analyse it" his smile was warm and so was his hand on my leg, tapping it before returning it to the steering wheel

"I guess we're just opposites"

"Ha, and what do they say about opposites" my eyes widened at my own words, hoping he would remain blissfully oblivious as usual to my words and actions

"That they always match, but really it just leads to more conflict, I guess its a good thing we're just friends" he replied as he parked up as I pointed to the turning

I smiled as nicely as possible before opening the car door "Thanks for the lift"

"Sure, anytime, just next time make sure you hide your car properly before making excuses to spend time with me" he winked making my jaw drop slightly

"I"

"Its okay, I wont tell, it will be our little secret" the jovial smirk on his face made me blush a little more, it seemed he could notice all the clues but never piece the puzzle together

I turned back toward him and wrapped my arms around him "Thanks, I appreciate it" I pulled back slowly, glad atleast that no one else would be able to work out my obvious want to spend more time with him

He looked me up and down before waving as I got out of the car, just before shutting the door I heard him whisper "What a good friend"

I turned back around to the open window "Has anyone ever told you that you're very oblivious" my tone laced with humour

"Not until now, what am I missing" he looked as confused as a deer in headlights

"Its nothing, if you dont already know" I shrugged, turning to walk away rolling my eyes as I unlocked the door I turned to see him getting out of the car and walking towards me

"I get what im missing, its that you wanted a lift to work tomorrow because your car is at work right" his smile was a winning one, as if he had just worked out the hardest clue of his life

I pursed my lips "No its okay, I already messaged Sehban"

His face fell slightly "Ah, I see, you probably want to spend time with him because you know he's more like you"

My brows furrowed "What do you mean"

Before getting back into his car he shouted over his shoulder "He isnt your opposite, he's your perfect match"

And that was when I realised, Zoya and I weren't so different, I just like Zoya was caught between my very own Yash and Aditya, shaking my head I stepped inside, shutting the door behind me, leaning against it I knocked my head back in pure annoyance at my two days of oblivious Chopda

I thought I would try my hand at a JenShad two shot! I hope you like it:) Its based around how it would be if Jennifer started to feel for Harshad first!
