Shreyas Iyer

The sun came pouring down through the windows, I shifted on the couch slightly. My back screamed out in agony due to the uncomfortable sleep. I saw a blanket wrapped around me that smelt slightly like oats, instantly I knew it had been Tara who'd draped it over me. I'd offered to take the couch, and she ever so graciously accepted.

I walked out of the apartment and saw, Tara, stirring a cup of coffee while one was already done. "Morning," She smiled at me, I frowned and eyed the brown brew suspiciously. Why was she being so nice?

"Shreyas, can we talk?" She blurted out the moment my ass hit the seat on our couch. I nodded, she exhaled sharply and started, "Look, I-"

"-your uncomfortable with this living setting." I finished for her, her lips parted in surprise and I shrugged, "I've known you for years, but it doesn't take a genious to figure out you were uncomfortable with the way you kept tossing and turning. That's why I slept on the couch."

I paused taking a prolonged sip of the warm brew before adding, "Thanks for the blanket."

She opened her mouth, choosing her words carefully, "Your not as annoying as you look,"

"Thank you," I raised my cup in a toast with an unabashed grin. Tara took a good long look at her now ringing phone, the name tag read 'Jay'. I sighed, "You and I both know your not picking that up."

"Ha. Ha." She responded dryly before swiping  her thumb across the screen and tossing it beside me. "And Shreyas, I wanted to clarify that if I had any feelings for you at our time at school, their long gone now."

"Okaay?" I drawled, sensing an opportunity to tease her. "But, I didn't ask for clarity."

A red blush crept up her neck, and I grinned wolfishly, "So... You find me as charming as I was back then?"

"You had acne, and the only reason I liked you was because my younger self had horrible taste in men." She practically spat out. "Sure," I shrugged.

"I heard you call me cute, multiple times." I added cheekily causing her to flush a deeper shade of red. "Arrogant ass."

I rose to my feet and took long strides towards her, pressing her against the counter. "Say it again."

"Arrogant. Ass." She paused between the words, tilting her chin to meet my eyes with that same cocky expression. I shrugged admitting defeat and flopped down to the couch, my gaze landed on her phone.

Tara had accidentally accepted the call and Ajay had heard every word of our conversation.
