Chapter 28 - Fake Love Story!!

Shanaya's P.O.V.

Two hours have been passed since I came here. Sitting in this big hall along with some other people around me, I'm trying to enjoy my orange juice. I looked at everyone. All of them had a satisfactory smile on their faces. They're enjoying their time. I on another hand is giving a hard time to my brain to think of an amazing plan.

I have an idea of what my next step will be as a cupid in Daniel's and Aaliya's love story but I need Kristein's help for that. I looked at him. I actually glared at him but he seems to busy to entertain the beautiful girls around him that he doesn't even saw me glaring at him.

Don't boys have sixth sense like us girls? I wonder.

"Are you comfortable?", Dan's voice broke my glaring session.

"Yes", I said and he gave me his best smile.

And here my heart melts down!!

"I'm happy you came", he said and I blushed.

Dan is also one of the reason because of which I'm not able to talk to Kristein alone for the past two hours. He's being the sweetest and best version of a human being alive on this entire planet. I don't want to leave Dan also because of so many reasons.

One: He's a deadly combination of hot and cute.

Two: My heart feels good when he's around me.

Three: I am finding it difficult to lie to him.

I again looked at everyone. They all belong here. Socialising, extrovert nature, cool, popular and rich kids. These are a few words which define them. They love hanging around and partying. I, on other hand, love being alone with my books and my music. I don't know how am I going to survive my these few days with all of them. I once again looked at Dan who was smiling at them.

I guess I can bear them for him, my heart said!!

Apart from Daniel, Kristein, I and Aaliya, four other people joined us. Two boys named, Alison and James from Dan's batch and two girls named, Bess and Iva from our batch. I know everything about them and they get to know my name today only. I feel so lucky, NOT.

Aaliya was also enjoying flirting with the seniors. Well, she's the female version of Kristein. They both are similar in flirting but Aaliya is a sweetheart and Kristein is a sadist, monster.

Aaliya got up from her seat and started clicking the glass with a spoon. She said, "May I've your attention please?".

"Thank you", she said as we responded by looking at her. She continued, "Since it's weekend and without a party, a weekend is useless. So, I'm thinking how about we all go out and party all night in this new club which is a few kilometres away from here?".

Everyone started hooting and yelling the word, 'Party'. I just faked a smile and clapped with others. They got another reason to enjoy their happiness and I got another reason to worry about. Clubbing? Means more people and more interaction. I started missing my office cubicle all of a sudden.

"Do you want to go? If not, we can stay together here", Dan asked. I looked at him. Did my face show my inner feelings?

"I'll be fine", I replied. Isn't he the most adorable thing ever? He has a golden heart. Sighs!

I'm crushing hard on him, my heart said.

Stop there. He's not yours, my mind reminded.

"I've to make a call to my mom. Will, you excuse me for a moment?", I lied to Dan and got up from my seat.

"Don't take too long", he said and I just nodded.

"Sure", I said and ran upstairs to the terrace.

I opened my mobile and opened the contact list. I scrolled and dialled Kristein's number. His name is saved as Monster in my mobile but he doesn't need to know that. He's never gonna check my mobile, why should I change his name?

"Why are you calling me? We're in the same house", he said as soon as he picked up the call.

Does no one tell him that we say Hello after picking up the calls?

"I need to talk to you Alone. Don't tell anyone and come on the terrace", I said.

"Now?", He asked.

"Do you want an invitation card?", I asked rolling my eyes.

"Fine. I'll try", saying so he hung up.

He's impossible!!

After five minutes, he showed up. As soon as our eyes met, we both rolled our eyes. Kristein and I have one thing in common. We both dislike each other and can't stand one another for more than a second.

"You took way too long", I complained.

"It's not easy for me to make an excuse and get some space. Those girls were all over me. It took me so much hard work to travel the distance from the hall to the terrace", he said with a sigh and I shook my head.

Self-obsessed!!

"Never mind. A silly girl like you won't understand the problem we popular kid face each day", he said with a smirk and I sighed.

"Well Mr. Popular, let me give you a free advice. Better find a suitable and decent girl who has a brain and stop wasting your time on these fake barbies. They ain't gonna give you support for the lifetime. Just like Daniel got Aaliya, you too get someone", I said.

"Jealous much!", He replied me with a smirk. God, he's plain stupid. Here, I'm giving him a good advice and just look at him. I so so hate him.

"You wish", I replied and he scoffed.

"So, what do you want? Should I date you? A silly girl with the brain", he mocked.

Jerk!!

"Sure. You must", I replied with a shrug.

"You wish. You're not my type", he said rolling his eyes.

Yeah, keep rolling your eyes. Maybe you get your brain back there, I thought!!

"Not wish. This is the plan", I said and he looked at me. I sighed.

I narrated him our Fake Love Story after that for ten minutes non stop. I took a deep breath and said, "Tonight as we all will be going to the club, you somehow have to manage to send Aaliya and Dan on a date. You've to find out how to do that. And you'll join me as a date just for tonight. Daniel and Aaliya will get some alone time to know each other and I'm sure this date will be the first step of their future relationship. Tomorrow, I'll confess to them that I like you and you like me too. We'll tell them that we've realised our love for each other. I'll lie to Dan and will tell him that I've always feelings for you but I was afraid to tell you so I used him as a rebound".

Kristein didn't interrupt in between so, I continued. I said, "I know this will hurt him badly but with you being by his side, he'll be fine. We'll make sure Aaliya and Dan become good friends and fall for each other. You've to lie that you like me too. Our Fake Love Story will play a major role in their true love story".

When he didn't respond, I frowned. I said, "You can speak".

"You're hopeless. What a ridiculous plan! Well, what was I expecting then? Your brain can't process more than this", he said giving me a disapproving look.

"Shut up. Either you like it or not. We're sticking to this plan and you can't deny. You're bound to help me or else you know what can I do", I replied warning him.

"Whatever", saying so, he left leaving me alone on the terrace.

I walked to the edge of the terrace and looked in front of me at the beautiful creation of nature. Human creation can never ever match the beauty of nature because it's original and no one can replace the originality. The greenery all around me was so soothing to the eyes. I extended my arms and closed my eyes letting cold, breeze kiss my cheeks just like in movies. I let myself feel that way.

All of a sudden I felt warmth behind me and a very familiar yet butterfly erupting touch engulfed me from behind. Dan's arms snaked around me from behind and his chest touched my back. My cheeks heated up and as soon as his chin made contact with my neck, goosebumps covered my body.

Breath shan, breath!!

"I wonder what caught my girlfriend that she forgot me", he said. His eyes were busy admiring the beauty in front of us.

"Isn't this all so gorgeous?", I asked.

"It's really gorgeous", he said looking at me and I blushed. I couldn't figure out whether his comment was for me or for the beautiful nature but I let my stupid heart go for the first option.

"We should go. Everyone's waiting", I said freeing myself from his hold and facing him, I smiled.

"No one's waiting. They know we need privacy", he said and pulled me towards him.

"But-", before I could oppose, his lips sealed mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back.

This is the last time, I'm kissing you, my heart said.

"I can never get rid of these lips", he whispered over my lips.

I blushed and stepped a few steps back. I avoided looking at him. He held my hand and I looked up at him. As soon as he smiled, something shook inside me. I felt a strong feeling eruption inside my stomach and my heart beat increased. This is so not going well. I am not supposed to feel this way for him. I would be hurt in the end.

"I Like You", he said and I pulled my hands away from him.

Without saying anything, I just turn my heels and ran away from the terrace like a coward. Yes, I'm a girl without guts. I don't have the power to fall in love. I entered the first room I got and decided to sleep for some time. My head is a mess right now and I'm super tired.

I need a power nap!!

***********************

Kristein's P.O.V

That girl is really the biggest idiot one could ever see. I've given the very accurate name to her. Silly girl. Where does she get all those cheesy and stupid ideas? What does she think of me? Who am I? Matchmaker?

Stupid girl!!

I'm not happy to help her but I guess Dan deserves much better than her. He deserves someone like Aaliya, smart, intelligent and beautiful. I have to do something to pair these two together and get that girl out of our lives for good.

Busy in my thoughts, I couldn't appreciate the two girls, Iva and Bess approaching me with a glass of wine in their hands. Iva lost her balance and her red wine was all over my shirt.

"Shit", I cursed.

"I'm so sorry babe. Let me help you", Iva said trying to clean the wine off my shirt.

"God, what did you do Iva? Sorry honey", Bess said.

Babe, Honey!! See, this is what girls call me. Someone show this to that silly girl who loves to call me a monster. She must see how much girls adore me.

"It's really ok. I'll go and change", I said politely and then walked to the very first room I got.

I walked to the washroom and took off my shirt and jeans. I took a quick shower. It helps me get rid of the tiredness of all day of moving and driving. I picked up the new towel placed on the shelf and wrapped it around my waist. With another towel, I dried my hair and placing it around my neck, I walked out of the washroom along with my jeans and shirt.

As soon as I walked into the room, my eyes caught someone sleeping peacefully on the bed. It was none other than Miss. Silly girl. I shook my head and decided to walk out of the room only when she turned to one side of the bed. As soon as she turned, her top lifted up a bit revealing a part of her waist.

Something stopped me from walking away. I gulped down and walked to her. A sense of protectiveness overruled me and I picked up the quilt and covered her with it. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. For a moment I forgot she's that girl who makes me go nuts.

I opened my mobile and took a picture of her while kneeling down close to the bed. I once again looked her and my hands having a mind of their own touched her cheeks. Next moment, I found myself kissing her forehead. As soon as I pulled away, her angry face flashed across my eyes.

I was taken back. I immediately got up and walked many steps back. What the heck was I thinking? What did I just do? She's not my type. She's shanaya. The girl I hate. How could I kiss her?

With wide eyes and shallow breath, I ran to my room after giving a last glance to Shanaya. Once in my room, I closed my door and sat down on my bed. My heart was beating rapidly against my chest.

Why am I being affected so much?, I thought.

No, it's just that she looked beautiful and beautiful faces are my weakness. That's it, I consoled myself.

I quickly changed my attire and after combing my hair, I took out my mobile and decided to delete her picture. But I couldn't! I just freaking find it impossible to delete Shanaya's picture. Oh god, I'm going insane. I need a beer. My mind is a mess. With a hot head, I walked out of my room.

I always knew this girl is dangerous for my health!!
