ZAISHA

I woke up and realized I was the only one on the bed.

Rubbing my eyes, I sat up straight and noticed a note stuck on the headboard of the bed.

Good morning Beautiful,

I'm at the training now. Will be back soon. You're bunking college today 'cuz we're going out for lunch and then I got some surprise planned for you. Your new set of clothes are on the couch.

Get ready by 12:30.

-Abhay xx

A smile made its way on to my face.

I don't know if it's for the note, or because he called me beautiful, or because I'm going out with him. Or maybe because all of the above.

Grabbing my phone, I checked the time.

12:30 p.m.

Just then the door swung open and in came Mr. Abhishek Sharma.

"Oooops." I said, laughing.

"Wow. Let me guess. You just woke up?" He asked me, keeping his kit on the couch.

"Maaaaybeeee." I sang.

He looked at me for a minute before shaking his head and laughing.

Abhay was already in a pair of black jeans and white button down.

"If you're done checking me out could you go get ready?" He asked me, smirking.

"Going." I chuckled, getting up from the bed.

"So you were stoned yesterday and you told me something." Abhay said and I choked on my food.

"Aaraam se." He said, handing me my glass of water.

"Wh-what did I say?" I asked him, very terrified to hear what comes out of his mouth.

"More like confessed something." He smirked.

I'm pretty sure my eyes turned into the size of a cricket ball by now.

"And what was it?" I asked him quietly.

"You don't remember?" He asked me, a smile playing on his lips.

"No."

"Anything?" He asked.

I think I saw a glint of hope in his eyes or maybe I'm just overthinking.

"Nothing." I said, shaking my head slowly.

"You confessed that....." He started.

"God, Abhay, just get done with it. I'm having an anxiety attack." I rolled my eyes at him.

He chuckled at my behaviour.

"You confessed that I'm the hottest guy you've ever laid your eyes on." He said.

I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

I DID?

What is wrong with you Zaisha Kapoor?

Stupid Zaisha. Stupid Zaisha.

"Look at your cheeks turn red." He commented.

"Shut up." I mumbled.

"Zayn Malik is the hottest guy I've ever laid my eyes on, okay." I told him.

"I don't think this is what I heard last night." He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and mumbled a shut up.

After we had lunch at Empire, we came down to Ulsoor Lake.

Sitting down on the grass, we looked at the sunset.

"The sun loved the moon so much, he died every evening to let her breathe." I stated, looking ahead.

From the corner of my eyes I saw Abhay smiling at me.

"Stay here." He said, getting up from his spot.

I was so mesmerized by the sunset that I didn't even move my head.

It was so beautiful!

The pinkish orange sky with tints of blue, beautiful shaped clouds and then the sun slowly diving into the water.

Nothing compares to this.

Abhay returned a few seconds later.

"Kaha gaye the?" I asked him, still looking ahead.

He handed me his phone instead of saying something.

I saw a picture of me sitting on the grass looking at the beautiful sunset ahead, my back faced the camera and hair flying because of the wind.

I smiled at the picture and handed him his phone back.

Abhay had a small smile on his face while looking at the sunset. Quickly taking my phone out, I clicked a picture of him.

"Abhay, you know, I'd never play hide and seek with you." I told him.

"Why?" He asked, chuckling.

"Because someone like you is impossible to find." I winked.

He started laughing and I clicked pictures of this beautiful soul.

"Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully." I smiled.

"You know, I love looking at the sky, but I'd miss a thousand sunsets just to look at your eyes." Abhay said looking at me.

I smiled at him for a few seconds before diverting my attention back to the sunset.

We sat there for thirty minutes more and then decided to leave. Abhay dropped me home and drove to his hotel.

"How was your date?" Riya asked as soon as I entered.

"It wasn't a date." I laughed.

"Oh shut up, whom you kidding?" Dhriti rolled her eyes.

"Whatever guys." I mumbled.

"You know Aishi, I think Abhay likes you." Dhriti said as I sat on the couch.

"Yeah right." I laughed.

"I'm serious." She said, giving me a poker face.

"How I wish that was true." I said.

"It is true!" Riya exclaimed.

"Guys! He's Abhishek Sharma. He isn't going to fall for me." I chuckled.

"Well, you're Zaisha Kapoor!" Dhriti said.

"I'm a normal girl, Dhri. He's got so many girls crushing on him just like me out there. And Abhay can get any girl he wants. He'd probably go for an actress or a model." I said.

"You don't know that, Aishi." Riya said.

"I don't, but definitely nothing is going to happen between us." I stated.

"What if he asks you to be his girlfriend?" Riya questioned.

"Speaking about the impossible now, are we?" I laughed.

"Shut up and answer." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Well, first, that's not going to happen. Second, he wouldn't want a girlfriend who drinks and smokes joints and cigarettes. Third, I don't want articles on myself speaking about my drinking and smoking habits." I said.

"As much as I want Abhay and I to be a thing, it's not going to happen. It's not only going to affect my life, it'll affect his too." I added.

"How?" Dhriti asked.

"You guys know what a wild soul I am. I drink and smoke like there's no tomorrow. I dance on tables and don't give a fuck even if someone's watching me. If I become his girlfriend, I'll have eyes on me. Each and everything I do is going to come out as an article. No privacy at all. I'll have to think atleast ten times before doing anything. And talking about Abhay, he has to listen to people telling him how his girlfriend ended up doing this or that or whatever, read articles of his girlfriend smoking. He'll get irritated with this at some point and ask me to stop." I said, getting up and walking into my room.

"And you wouldn't?" Riya asked.

"I was raised to run with the wolves and I wouldn't stop just because someone told me that they can't stand that I'm wild."
