Chapter 10: Romantic beginning, ending with a water fight!

    Aarav and I reach his home or should I say, the twin of freaking Buckingham Palace! We entered through the gate and there was a big white pathway, neatly trimmed garden on the side, and many trees planted.

     There was an old uncle, doing some garden work I guess and he looked at Aarav and smiled, saying,"Aarav, you've arrived. Let me go inform your mother. She was home early today." 

    "No need uncle. I'll just go in and wish her", Aarav says in a stern tone. 

   Why was he like that? It seemed very rude.

   So I go up to him and say,"Do you know that there's a word called 'nice' in the dictionary? The poor uncle was just wishing you. You didn't have to be rude."

   He shouts,"Can you stop already? You are not a fucking preacher, alright? Oh God! Why is everyone like this?"

   I was shocked at his sudden outburst. I mumbled a sorry and stood with my head hung low.

   He sighs and comes to me, lifts my head with the tip of his index finger, saying,"I'm sorry."

    "Oh wow! The great Aarav Bhatt is saying sorry to me! The heavens must have fallen down. Hahahahaha", I laugh.

   "Shall we move on then princess?", he asks.

   "Yeah why not evil king?", I retort.

   And we both head inside laughing.

   The house had cream walls, with cream and gold furniture placed in the living room. There was a big potrait of someone tall and sturdy in the middle of the house, with a large artificial garland around the frame. Guess it must be some ancestor of Aarav. There I see only maids roaming about and cleaning, no presence of anyone belonging to the house. 

   We climb the gigantic stairs, just kidding, and reach his room. His room was a combo of many colors, blue and red being predominant. If you ask me I think some child just got bored and painted it with whatever he liked. There was blue all around and traces of red. There was pink somewhere, trying to dominate the blue. And some black paint, which looked like it was recently painted, was there, in shapes of amoeba I guess. I laugh at my own joke and look at Aarav questioningly. 

   He looks at me with that sheepish look, you know that look when your mom lets you have one more candy, that look when your dad buys that extra toy set for you, he was exactly sporting that look. Who in the world wouldn't melt for that cute expression? I was totally lost in that expression, when Aarav moved his hand in front of me and I came out of that trance.

   He walked in and I followed him. I closed the door behind me. As I turn to the front, I see Aarav trying to take his shirt off. Oh my freaking tomatoes! What was he doing? 

   I shout out in embarrassment, my cheeks flaming red,"No, don't."

   But he does that anyway. I close my eyes, with my right hand covering them. Slowly I remove my hand and peek open one eye. All I could see was skin color. WHAT?! I open both of eyes and see Aarav directly staring at me. I shout out,"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!", and run backwards, only to hit the cupboard. Aarav comes to me and he was without a shirt!

    Though I was dying to see if he has abs, my self conscious mocking me kept me from looking anywhere below his face. And his face was way more hotter than his body. Did I ever say I had very less self control? If not, then you know now. I told myself, 'Just a little peek, he will never find out.' And I looked down. Oh my amazing Gods above, you definitely made a great injustice to all the other guys out there. He had a six pack! At freaking sixteen years! And he was way hotter than any other movie star or model out there.

    By the time all these thoughts are running in my head, Aarav comes closer to me and puts his hands on either side of me. While looking into my eyes, he moved his hands and clicked something. It was all going on in a slow motion and my heart was beating so loud that I guess the entire street could listen. DHUD! DHUD! DHUD! DHUD! In these heartbeats, I understood that I fell for Aarav even more. So strongly, so violently, so madly. 

   He slowly takes my hands into his hands and tugs me forward. I hear Celine Dion singing in the background.....'across the distance, and spaces between us'. Aarav places a hand around my waist and pulls me to him, making me place my palms on his chest. 'Which is bare', my conscience shouts, but I ignore it. We move to the slow pace of the music.

   'Love can touch us one time.......and last for a life time.......and never let go 'til we're gone.....'

   He swings me around by the tip of my finger and after the turn, I crash into his torso. I look up at him, he was looking at me the way I was yearning for. He comes forward and I move backward. This continues till I hit the edge of his bed and fall on it. He climbs on me, looking at me with lust, taking the support of his hands. He lowers down, towards me. I go to him, attracted just like a moth to fire. Just when our lips were about to touch, the door slams open. I turn around immediately, causing Aarav to lose his balance and completely fall on me, his mouth against my cheek, eyes wide open. And 'My Heart will go on' had completed, the song now playing was 'If I said you had a beautiful body.'

   I look at the door and see a girl dressed in complete pink, like from top to bottom. Pink hair? Check. Pink nail polish? Check. Pink shirt? Check. Pink shorts? Check. Pink slippers? Check. Maybe she loves pink way too much.

   Sensing how awkward the situation was, I immediately scramble out of the bed, causing Aarav to fall on his butt. He gets up, muttering an 'ouch' and looks at the doorway.

   He shouts," How many times have I told you to knock the door before entering my room, Tasha?"

   She must have been his sister.  The same one who had shouted at him in the mall. I expected her to be more of dominating type, but she was looking cute and bubbly.

   I go to her and say,"Hello, I'm Amaira. Nice to meet you", with my cheeks bright red.

    She looks at me in shock before adjusting her composure and says,"We have a lot to talk about. Let's go to my room."

   Aarav clears his throat. His sister ignores him and continues to drag me out of his room. Aarav clears his throat even louder.

   Then his sister starts talking,"We should totally go shopping....."

   She was interrupted by Aarav,"We should totally do an English project, dear sis."

   He comes to us and holds me by my shoulders, dragging me towards him, saying,"So, it would be best if you leave us."

   What was with these siblings and dragging?

   With no one at least trying to hear my opinion, I decide to enjoy the fight between the two of them.

   His sister scoffs and says,"You? An assignment? With her? In a closed room? It looks like I'll get a niece if I leave you both alone again. A nephew will also be alright. But I guess he wouldn't like pink. And don't worry......Amaira, right? I am just playing with him."

   She says the last part in my ear and winks.

   Aarav was speechless for a moment. He tries speaking, but it comes out like,"I-uh-she-we-uh-NO! We have to do our assignment. I don't care if you ground me," he turns to me and continues, "but Amaira, we've got to rush up. Else, this retard of a sister will make you go completely bald."

   Bald? Huh? What was he talking about? Is the thing that his sister causes so much stress that my hair falls out? Meanwhile his sister starts laughing loudly.

   She says,"Oh poor Aarav! Just admit that you couldn't think of  a proper word. HAHAHAHAHAHA. You, my boy, are really a child. Okay, do your work. But door stays open. And I'll be checking upon you two. No funny stuff and definitely no babies please!" 

   Saying so, she walks off, swinging her hips. Seeing her from back, I couldn't help but think about how lovely and attractive she was. Aarav was really lucky to have a sister like her.

   We go into his room and start working on our English assignment.

    It was just for two seconds before we both shouted,"Where's our assigned book?" And we started laughing our asses off.

    We forgot to take the book from library. Finally after we stop laughing, Aarav suggests,"Shall we go down? You can get to know more of my sister?"

   I reply,"Why not?"

   And then I hear a squeal. What the fudge?Was there a mouse in his room? Suddenly, the squeal gets a lot more louder and I jump towards Aarav, who by the way, now had his shirt on. And then, two people crash on each other in front of Aarav's door. It was Aarav's sister and a woman I didn't recognize, but she was in the maids uniform.

   I turn this side and see that I was actually hugging Aarav. I immediately let go of him and clear my throat. Tasha and the other woman were laughing loudly, the woman commenting, "They would make a very good pair" and Tasha bouncing her head happily. I bet that I could even see the tears in her eyes.

   I pinch Aarav and say,"Say them something", slowly. 

  He turns to me and asks,"Huh?"

  Dumb idiot! I smack myself in forehead for thinking of asking him for a solution and say,"Tasha! I can call you that, right?"

  She nods, holding back her fits of laughter.

   I continue,"Will you show me your dog's throat? Uh-no-that's not what I wanted to ask. It's just my throat went and got stuck in your dog. UHH. Seriously, I guess I should stop."

     I take a deep breath and look at my surroundings. Aarav was looking at me like he could report me in a mental hospital right now, but was worrying about the sanity of the other patients over there. The woman was looking at me like I had grown a tail. I looked back to confirm this, but don't tell any one else. Tasha was looking like she was given an early birthday gift. 

   I continued with a slight hint of awkwardness,"Uh, I wanted to ask, could you show me around your house?"

   "Yeah, sure", Tasha replies and we go down.

   There, Tasha shows me around and the house was as magnificent as I had imagined. Tasha's bedroom was pink, as expected, with posters of Black Pink on her walls. There was a fountain outside with water coming out of a fish's mouth. And there were many vintage and modern day cars in their garage. I wish I could live in their garage forever. 

   After the tour completed, we went and sat out on a bench in the garden. 

   Tasha starts,"Though Aarav behaves like a stubborn idiot sometimes, deep down he's very good. I hope you'll cherish him and keep him on his toes. Hahahaha. And I can also see he likes you. Try to maintain this with him, alright? And he has never been too outspoken at home. If he does hurt you anytime, please bear with it cause he never meant that in the first place."

   I take her hand in mine and assure her,"Don't worry. And you didn't have to tell me that. I would have done it willingly."

   "You like him, don't you?", she asks me.

    I bend down my head and nod.

   "I guess he too likes you. But don't pressure him into anything he doesn't like", she looks at me.

    "Of course", I say.

   And we stare into the space for quite a time before Tasha gets up and says,"Wait for me, I'll get you some snacks."

  I nod. As soon as she leaves, Aarav comes and sits next to me.

   He touches my forehead and asks,"Are you sane? Or should I call the ambulance?"

   Tasha shouts from inside,"I can hear you deadbug."

   "She really is weird, you know? It's better if you stay away from her", Aarav says, looking at her with his eyes narrowed down.

  "Who else should she stay with? With you to make babies? No thanks baby brother, I don't want to be a godmother so soon", Tasha shouts from the kitchen.

   "Yeah, you would become a grandmother before you become a godmother", Aarav laughs at his own joke. 

   Was it really comedy? Or was he as dumb as I had predicted?

   A football comes flying out of nowhere and hits Aarav's head.

   He shouts,"Who's that doofus who dared to hit me?"

  The ball rolls down his head and dirties his shirt. 

   I say to him,"Go inside and change that shirt."

   His eyes glint with mischief before he says,"Nah, I've got a better idea."

   Saying so, he drags me towards a pipe, and everything lights up in my head. He wants a water fight? I'll definitely give him the most remarkable one.

   I signal to Tasha, who had just come out holding a tray to come here. She puts down the tray and comes behind Aarav sneakily. I immediately take the pipe and turn it towards Aarav and Tasha standing behind Aarav, gets all wet. Haha, take that, siblings! Tasha looks at me with a murderous expression on her face and I know I have to say goodbye to my dear life. She chases after me with a green pipe in her hand, drowning me in water.

   We all laugh around and a car stops right in front of the house. Suddenly Tasha and Aarav go completely quiet and me being me didn't recognize it. I took the pipe from Tasha's hand and turn around. And all the water falls on a man wearing a suit!
