"Soo that's is the reason you were acting all weird from yesterday night." Ishaan asked while driving towards the ice cream parlor.

Nisha bobbed her head grinning sheepishly, he just shook his head at her crazy girl he thought.

Nisha looked at him expectingly, he saw her looking at him and raised his eyebrow." What." He asked with his eyes on the road.

Nisha pouted." Talk with me, I m getting bored." She told him making him glace at her blankly grumpy vampire she thought.

"No , entertain yourself with the music system." He said making Nisha poke her tongue at him.

"How mature Nisha." He said.

"At least I m not a boring grandpa like you." Nisha muttered the last part making Ishaan shoot her narrowed glance which she replied with a cheeky grin.

Nisha turned on the music system and immediately loud rock music flooded inside the car, she too started singing loudly the lyrics making few cars turn their attention to them.

How fucking great ishaan how fucking great, this is called digging your own grave, Ishaan thought taking deep breaths to calm himself as a headache started rising.

"Ishaan why are you looking like you are suffering from constipation." She blurted innocently concerned looking at his poker face and breathing.

Ishaan almost pulled the break in middle of the road at the question what the fuck he thought with widened eyes.

If someone had ever told ishaan that anyone in this world can make Ishaan Singhaniya feel any emotions then anger and emptiness then ishaan would have said impossible but from the time he meet this girl in that highway road of Shimla ishaan learned one thing that nothing is impossible no matter who you are.

He pulled in front of the ice cream parlor and turned towards Nisha who was looking at him innocently ,"what the fuck are you saying." He asked her controlling his temper.

"It's okay ishaan nothing to be embarrassed about it happens." Nisha told him patting his shoulder.

"You...."

"Let's go eat ice cream I guarantee you that it will solve all your problems." Nisha cut him of while smile brightly and bolted out of the car towards the ice cream parlor like a child.

Ishaan hit his head on the steering wheel," someone give me strength to handle her or my myself." He said groaning.

"Ishaaaaaaan come on or I m going to finish all the ice cream without you." Nisha shouted from the exit of the ice cream parlor making few head turn towards , ishaan looked up towards her and saw some people sneakering to themselves looking at Nisha but they immediately shut their mouth and minded their own business from the look they received from him.

He got out of the car and followed a excited a Nisha, they sit infront of a window side table." Which ice cream will you take." She asked him to busy looking at the delicious ice cream pictures on the menu.

"Nothing I don't like ice cream." He told her bored , Nisha looked at him shocked dropping the menu,

" Are you serious, you don't like ice cream, do you know how much of big crime it is ., no not crime, it's Sin to not like chocolate, ice cream and panipuri." Nisha whispered yelled at him like he committed a big sin.

Drama queen ishaan thought amused , he put the manu infront of her making her shut," now sit like this and try not get into trouble while I get your precious ice cream got it." He told her in a Stern voice making her nod.

"Good, which flavor." He asked standing up.

"Chocolate." Nisha said lowering the menu.

Ishaan nodded and went to get her ice cream, Nisha looked around the place and saw a couple feeding each other , she internally cooed seeing them how sweet, wish I could also have this kind of love in my life she thought sighing dreamily one day Nish definitely one day she told herself, she kept looking around herself when she noticed one thing , a group of tenagers girls were busy ogling at something in the counter.

Is it there a new flavoured ice cream Nisha thought curiously and looked towards the counter in search of any new flavor but instead she saw the center of attention was certain someone dressed in white shirt rolled up to his elbow, black trousers, once neat hair now messed up with his habit of running a hand through it with few falling on his forehead with his usual stone cold expression on his face.

Oh Soo this is their Soo called delicious ice cream, Nisha thought fuming while narrowing her eyes towards all those girls , how dare they ogle at him like.. like he is some free chocolate ice cream....maa I m sorry to think like this but I want to scratch those girls face. I mean look at them..arggg. Nisha clenching the poor menu

Ishaan returned with her ice cream and saw her suffocating the menu with a glare at face , he raised his eyebrow now now what God miss- always-angel- innocent- Nisha , who got to get under nerves when she even made someone like me speechless ishaan thought,

He cleared his throat and Nisha jumped up looking at him startled,he raised his eyebrow," was it written in the menu that ice cream, chocolate, and panipuri are banned here that you are murdering it." Ishaan asked with amusement.

Nisha shyly tucked hair behind her ear in embarrassment , smiling sheepishly," shut up , umm ishaan..." She called him making him hum,

She glanced at those girls who were giggling with themselves looking at him and the green monster again started fire dancing inside her, " let's get out of here." She told him taking the ice cream from his hand dragging him out from there holding his hand.

"What happened." He asked as she was bouncing on her spot few moments back to be in that place.

"I got my ice cream now I don't want to be there." She lied him , she didn't like the way those girls were behaving looking at him, agreed he is like a walking hot chocolate but that doesn't mean everyone can have free access to devour him with their eyes Nisha thought fuming and irritated inside.

Ishaan shook his head at her, he looked at his watch , he thought to drop her home and head towards his company, he decided that he won't send her to fishion designing classes for today and tomorrow.

"Get in car I will drop you to mention then head towards company." He said opening the door for her was busy devouring the ice cream.

"Oh gentleman I see." Nisha teased him to which he rolled his shut the door after she got in.

"But what will I do at the mansion it's like those Indian horror movie hunted palace where no one reside." Nisha said making a face, she still thinks that how does ishaan used to stay there all alone , agreed the security quarter was there but it was at the far end of the garden from what she saw.

" Roam like a those Indian movie's ghost I think." Ishaan replied started the car, he frowned internally where the fuck did that sarcasm come from He thought.

"Aha Ishaan my personality is getting in your slowly." Nisha said wriggling her eyebrows teasingly, she loved to get under his nerves, from what she heard from everyone ishaan has anger issue but she knows he always tries to control himself, that little moment when he got to know about her past mistake of consuming those sleeping pills, but she also believe that anger is the another side of hurt and pain , when the pain become to much some people turn it anger, she doesn't know much about ishaan past except that he is a orphan but she knows behind every tough and cold person there is a past which they try to hide with their cold heart.

Ishaan looked at her she was starting at her lap with a lost expression her ice cream was melting in her hand, is she thinking about Asha maa Ishaan thought frowning , Nisha was the bubbliest girl he ever meet , she has a unique mixture of personality bubbly , mature , childish at heart, and honest, he won't call her naive because she knows that life is not fairytale but she is pure untouched from the evilness of the world, and ishaan wanted it to remain like that, he won't make her depended on him no because for ishaan making someone your only reason life is toxic because he had experience it , Zoya was his center of world and after her death his world was messed up and he didn't wanted Nisha to experience something like that already Asha's death shook her whole world and ishaan didn't wanted a repeat of that , he will always be there for her like her support pillar even after she build her own life.

"Someone was lecturing me about ice cream and all , now who is wasting it." Ishaan told her loudly making Nisha to snap out.

She looked at her ice cream and her ice widened in horror, she immediately gobbled the whole ice cream and immediately her teeth becoming sensitive, idiot Nish she scolded herself.

Ishaan saw it and glared at her." You idiot girl...." He shouted at her and thus the whole ride till mansion was filled with his lecture of how it can effect her dental health..

Jaiden raised a eyebrow looking at a sheepish looking Nisha and glaring ishaan exiting the car , he was not surprised from it he was becoming used to it , Nisha can write a book on how-to- get- under- ishaan Singhaniya- nerves, Jaiden thought amused but didn't show it on his face , Jaiden was much like ishaan, he was Abandoned by his family because of his different sexual orientation or in simple words his family was to narrow minded to accept their Gay son ,Jaiden thought harshly.

Nisha grinned looking at Jaiden."Jay....." She run towards him excitedly , Ishaan raised a eyebrow since when did they become this close he thought but with Nisha nothing was impossible.

Jaiden posture turned soft he couldn't keep his hard faced in front of Nisha or in other words she won't let him , the girl was a different spices with a crazy mind.

"Nisha." Jaiden greeted her with a nod .

"Jaiden I m going to company look after and don't let her out anywhere, I have called her work place and informed them that she won't be there for two days." He told her making Nisha snap her head at him.

"Why did you tell them, today there was a new stock of books arriving I had to arrange them." Nisha told him a little angry with her hands on her hip , she didn't like to bunk her works and though Mrs.Evans was a nice lady still what if she fires her , she got this work with very dificulty.

"I told you Nisha I won't ever come in your way or stop you in doing anything until it concerns your health, I have taken you to ice cream that's it now you are going to rest, and Soo help Nisha if I heard that you did anything stupid again, and Dont even step foot in kitchen alone." He lectured and turned to go when she stopped him.

"Wait."

She walked towards him and did something which shocked ishaan,

She wrapped her arms his waist and hugged him lightly , with her cheeks on his heart which was pounding loudly. She then broke the hug and gave him a wide grin." Have a great day ishaan, and learn to say bye it's manners." She told him sweetly then turned away walked to a frozen Jaiden,"Jaiden common today I m going to beat you in chess." She talked dragging a still shocked Jaiden inside.
