"Alveera! I'm home," I heard a familiar voice yell.

I was half asleep, couldn't really fathom what was happening. I realized that I was naked, in bed with Zaid.

Then it suddenly hit me! Gia was back. It would be the end of me if she saw Zaid on my bed. Sleeping naked. I had to somehow get him out.

"Zaid, wake up,Gia is back, get out," I whispered, all at once.

Unfortunately, Zaid was a heavier sleeper than I was. I'd lean down to wake him up and he'd just wrap his arms around me. Ugh, it was so frustrating. Finally, after approximately 5 minutes of nagging, he woke up.

"Do you have an extra toothbrush?" He asked.

"Why would I have an extra toothbrush? Use mine," I replied.

Then, he went to the washroom and washed up.

"ALVVEERA! What will you have for breakfast?" Yelled Gia.

"Uhm, Cereal," I yelled back, paranoid.

After Zaid washed up, I somehow sneaked him out of the house. As soon as he left, I turned, only to see that Gia was standing behind me.

"Oh, you surprised me," I said.

"You beat me at the surprising game by a margin," said Gia as she stifled a laughter.

Her laughter eased the whole process for me. She was cool with Zaid and to my utmost surprise, thought he was good for me. It was a happy change considering how much she hated Arjun.

"This one's better than Arjun," she said as she munched on her granola bar," he is more intense I'd say, not the kind that flirts around."

I laughed and said, " hmm I'd beg to differ, quite flirty, this one."

However, Gia told me how concerned he was last night when I wasn't answering his calls and how that proves how much he adored me. After that, she asked the million dollar question that I was dreading.

"So, you did it?" She asked, in the most bizzare way possible.

"We are NOT having this conversation," I said, leaving.

"Come-on! Idiot." She yelled back.

School

The day went normally as we strolled through classes. However, at the end of my English lit class, Zaid came and stayed with me. He was the typical protective boyfriend. He had his arms around me, protecting me as I walked through the crowded hallway. He was so amazing. He would even indulge in mild PDA, to basically show everyone that I was taken. He was so possessive and cute at the same time.

My classes had ended at 12 noon. Zaid was yet to finish his classes for the day. So, I was waiting for him in the hallway when suddenly, I saw Arjun coming up to me.

He was charging towards me and when he came close enough, he grabbed me by my arm and dragged me into an empty class room.

"Arjun, you're hurting me, kya Kar rahe ho?" I screamed.

He didn't respond. He just pushed me inside and locked the door.

"You're dating that Firangi new boy?" He asked, visibly irritated.

"He is not Firangi. He's from Delhi. And he is much better than you are," I screamed, "so fuck off."

That enraged Arjun and made him pin me to the wall.

"We dated for 3 years, it took you 3 days to get into a relationship with him?" He cried, almost sulking this time.

I had no reply for that, even I knew how fast everything was with Zaid. But I trusted Zaid and wasn't willing to deal with Arjun's bullshit.

"You cheated on me with Isha, while we were dating, you remember that?" I replied, "you didn't even have to break up to forget about me."

At that moment, I started crying. I couldn't believe how I let myself be treated that way by any person. Arjun misbehaved with me, cheated on me and disrespected me enough for me to never want to be with anyone.

After almost a year, I met someone, who made me feel something. I wasn't willing to let that go.

So I pushed Arjun, unlocked the door and left.

Zaid was outside, chatting with one of his friends when he saw me come outside teary eyed.

Immediately, he ran towards me.

"Al, what's up?" He asked, "who upset you?"

Then I told him all about what happened. He was upset. He was upset that I had to go through such a terrible relationship. But then, he was furious. He saw some marks on my arms which showed how tightly Arjun was holding on to them. So, Zaid decided to go up to him and give him a piece of his mind.

I was a little scared, I didn't want Zaid to indulge in fighting. However, he promised me to not raise a hand on Arjun, so he went.

Zaid's POV

Arjun really did cross his limit. He had no business with Alveera, not anymore. I had to tell him to stay away from her. I wasn't going to beat him up, but he needed to know his limits. He couldn't behave the way he did, not with my girlfriend.

I saw him in the hallway. So I went up to him to have a chat with him.

"Arjun, you need to stay away from Alveera," I said.

"Bro, tu kal aya hain, main saalo see hoon," he said, "so stop trying to tell me what to do."

This really pissed me off. How dare he say that to me? He didn't even sound like the kind of guy I could have a mature conversation with. God knows what Alveera saw in him.

"Agar aisa kuch phirse kahan Na, toh mu tor dunga saaley," I replied.

He laughed it off and pushed me back. After two pushes, I couldn't handle it anymore. So I punched his face, hard enough for him to fall down, and left.

Alveera's Apartment

"You punched him?" She asked, laughing.

I didn't know how this was funny, but her laughter made me feel better. It was infectious. So I started laughing as well.

Later, she saw how my hand was bruised, so she got the first aid kit and tended to it.

She was so amazing, I could understand why Arjun was mad about how she was with me. No one would want a girl like her to leave them. But he cheated on her and he didn't deserve her.

Afterwards, Alveera decided to prepare lunch for me. She sucked, big time. However, she tried her best to make meatball spaghetti for the both of us.

"Aah, shit," I heard her scream, so I went to the kitchen.

She had burnt her sauce. Almost. I needed to salvage the remaining ingredients. So, I decided to make the pasta sauce for her. She cut the onions and mushrooms while I dressed the meat mince and cooked the sauce.

"Hmm, just so you know,I get turned on by men who can cook," she said, looking at me, with her oh so sexy expression.

"So am I turning you on now, ma'am?" I said as I turned towards her after carefully turning the heat off on on the stove.

"Maybe," she replied, with the sexiest smirk ever.

She was sitting on the kitchen counter behind me. She was wearing these denim shorts which accentuated her legs enough for me to want to keep them wrapped around me forever.

So I took some pasta, and went up to her to make her taste it. I took a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"That's good," she replied, not taking her eyes off of mine throughout.

Then she took another spoonful and teased my with spaghetti in her mouth. I wasn't going to make this so easy for her. So I grabbed the pasta in her mouth with mine and had it.

"Hmm tasty," I replied," I make good food.

Immediately, we kissed while she was still on the counter. I realized that we weren't going to have lunch now, well not literally. So I grabbed her and took her into her room.

"So, what do you like better, pasta or me?" she asked as she pulled away from our kiss to catch her breath.

"You! Anyday. Pasta has got nothing on you," I replied, with a smirk.

She laughed, kissed my chin and continued to kiss me as I dropped her on her bed and undressed her.

She was really in the mood. So I decided to reciprocate and satisfy her.
