She stood in front of the window gazing at the moon , his embarrassed face flashed in her mind and she felt herself smile oh boy you are Soo screwed Nish Nisha thought shaking her head, but still the smile refused to leave her lips just like his face from her memories.

"I m very well aware Nisha and trust me I don't give a flying fuck about what anyone thinks about in the whole world except......" He trailed off looking at her intensely.

She felt her face getting hot, Damm he was high today, she thought, if only she had knew that ignoring him would lead to this then she would have ignored him from day one. Wasn't she supposed to be angry at him but was she that much strong to not get hypnotized by those stormy black orbs , gets lost by that deep voice, no she wasn't and she didn't wanted too.

She didn't know what is it about Ishaan Singhaniya that makes her forget everything, he has the power to overpower her sane mind, there is something about him which is addicting , was it those cold glare which made her smile stupidly , was it those smriks which makes her flush red , or was those rarest tiny dimple smile which makes her feel happy.

Nisha Ahuja didn't know but she knows one thing Ishaan Singhaniya has made her addicted to him and now she doesn't know how to stop.

_________________

He was losing.

Ishaan Singhaniya was losing in the battle of heart and mind.

He was a man of control who Always had everything the way he wanted , never did he for once lost control of himself but from the time that stupid blabbering devil has entered his life he has lost all the control of his thoughts, emotions, and heart.

He knows he screwed up big time yesterday with his reckless stunt, what was he thinking when he pulled that stunt absolutely nothing, he surely was possessed yesterday,

By a certain vampire obsessed person his mind taunted, Ishaan clenched his jaw , Nisha was rubbing off on him surely.

He looked at the Time in his watch just few more minutes until the storm hits me he thought, yesterday because of all the drama Nisha has very unsurprisingly forgotten about his little stunt's and the consequences of it, that's why the first thing he did after returning yesterday was to call Andrew his personal hacker to delete every picture and video of yesterday drama from the social media.

"ISHAAN SINGHANIYA!!!!."

And here it comes Ishaan though glancing at his watch as loud foots descended and headed closer to him.

A fuming Nisha stood in front him with blazing eyes." What the hell were you thinking yesterday before pulling that...that stunt." Nisha asked him yesterday with clenched fist.

Damm she looks like tigress Ishaan though without looking up from his mobile doing nothing but scrolling some mails.

"Singhaniya I m talking to you." Nisha said slamming her hand on the table for a dramatic affect, oww you motherfreaking novels , curse you for not mentioning the after effects of these dramatic action Nisha thought putting a face of a brave soldier without letting a hint of her half death hand.

Ishaan slowly raised his eyes to her , he could very well guess what the result of her dramatic action was," and I m listening Nisha." He said casually to infuriate her further , he stood up and went inside the kitchen.

That infuriating handsome vampire Nisha thought drilling holes in his back." Then answer my Damm questions, everyone was recording us." Nisha shouted she couldn't even imagine what explainatation she will give to Ethan.

"Well you underestimate what I can do Nisha , also you provoked me, what was that yes , ' be my guest' , I did what you told me to." He said shrugged tossing her a ice pack.

Nisha catched it before it kisses her face, she internally awwed at his gesture but then his words registered to her brain and she look at him with wife eyes,

"You ...you ..pigface you you .... frostbitten human version of vampire, you reincarnation of the devil, do you know what you did, oh God everyone in college will gossip about me, they will treat me like a alien now, and my classmates they will definitely kill me with thousands of questions, oh my gosh what if my employer fire me now where will search for job now and, oh my God everyone in college be after me like bee's, oh my God wh ...omph." her blabbering was cut off as he feed her the entire toast.

"Now that will keep you silent for few minutes." He said having his own breakfast.

Nisha glared at him this the second time he is doing this with her, she swallowed the toast and open her mouth again but was meet with another toast, she glared harder at him.

"I m have only one thing to ask you, after that you can shout and yell all you want." He told her seriously.

Nisha frowned but let him continue." Do you trust me." He asked her there was a deep intensity in his voice which made her breath hitch.

Suddenly the fun- bantering atmosphere was changed to a much intense one , Nisha with dificult swallowed the toast, she was taken off guard with his sudden question, it was not the question which made her heart beat faster but the intensity behind his eyes , it was not only about now, those black orbs searched for a thread of hope in her brown , a assureness only she could provide and it didn't took her long to give him that.

"I do."She whispered Maybe more than myself it was unhealthy but it was the truth she trusted him more than anyone in this world , she trusted him to a limit that she could blindly stand infront of bullet and still believe that he will reach out to her before it hits her.

Only if their fate doesn't break her trust.

A breath left him after hearing her as he heart beated faster looking at the amount of trust she has on her eyes for him. Stop being Soo mushy Ishaan he straighten up and fixed his already fixed cufs, " then don't worry about anything." He told her

Nisha wanted to argue more maybe throw some more curse to but his one sentence shut her up. Grumbling and cursing him she started to walk but then did a u-turn and stood in front of him.

He raised a eyebrow at her , she glared at him then throwed her arms around his neck , he stiffened but then relaxed basking in her comforting warm embrace, he lightly let placed his hand on her back closing his eyes to savour the moment.

"I missed my goodbye hug, and mind you I will take my pending one week hug with extra fine hug." She mumbled into his shoulder.

"I m a honest businessman, I pay all tax and fine honestly." He lightly joked causing her to smile.

"But this doesn't mean everything is fine, I m still angry at you." She reminded him to which hummed.

After sometime she broke their hug with flamed cheeks," Umm Jaiden is calling me." She said running from there.

He stood there with a stupid smile and warmness in his heart until his mobile buzzed with a message from crackhead.

' Don't think I forgot about your yesterday's punishment of Making up to me.'

Ishaan groaned off fucking course.

___________

Nisha entered the college cautiously fearing any moment someone will pounce on her. To her utter relief everyone was busy in their own world.

Everything was going smoothly untill break.

"Hey Nisa." Nisha froze hearing her name.

God save me I promise you that I won't disturb Ben's peaceful nap for a week Nisha thought and slowly turned around to see Nicole and her other girls striding towards her.

"Hi guys." Nisha waved smiling nervously.

"Leave this hey, see what Nicole is telling us, she is saying that she saw picture of you and Ishaan Singhaniya together." Emily told her.

Dear Satan if not god then you save me , Nisha widened her eyes," What! Hahaha," she laughed nervously,

"Me," she pointed at herself," with Ishaan Singhaniya, wake up guys, he doesn't even know I exist in this world, I can only dream of having a glimpse of in person , spotted in a video with him is a way ahead thought." Nisha said laughed waving them off , why to dream of having a glimpse of him when I can drool without a limit infront of that sexy vampire.

Nicole scoffed ," Don't lie Nisa , wait I show You guys." She said opening her phone,

Nisha closed her eyes to make herself ready to face the upcoming shoots of questions you are a brave soldier Nish.

"What the hell." Hearing Nicole shout filled with disbelief she opened her eyes to see Nicole looking at her phone in shock.

"I swear I had it saved in my social media account but...oh God how can this be possible," Nicole said going through phone.

"Do you trust me."

A smile appeared on her face, she should have thought that Ishaan Singhaniya will never let her down , he will always be her Angel.

"Nicole next time have enough proof then spread rumours." Emily said annoyed.

"Guys trust me it was her with Ishaan Singhaniya, she is lying to us." Nicole said angirly pointing at Nisha.

Nisha looked at Nicole innocently," then show me the photos, oops your trusted social media betrayed you." Nisha said with a sorry face.

"Anyway have fun spreading Rumors," she told her patting her shoulder lightly with a angel like smile, leaving a fuming Nicole behind.

___________________

Ishaan stared at the walls of his office blankly. He went through a life where he was used to every situation and work.

You can give him everything and he will nail in that work,

But doing something to impress girl to make up for his fucking outburst was something out of world for him.

What the fuck am I supposed to do , he thought with a scoff. He was pretty lame in the opposite gender matter as the only two women's in his life was his mother and Zoya that too for a really short time.

He thought about his friends surely they know something better than him , Vihaan was a certified Playboy from the college days and now also he has a girlfriend surely he would have experience in this matter.

With that thought he dialed Vihaan Rajput number.

"Yeah Ishaan."

"How do you make up for a apology to a girl." Ishaan went straight to the point.

Vihaan was baffled, there was silence for sometime," For Whom are you asking this." He asked, since the last time he knows Ishaan Singhaniya freeze you with his cold eyes but never move from his point let alone a apology.

"That's non of your business, Answer my Damm question." He asked irritated, he didn't wanted to become a victim of Nick and Reyansh teasing again.

"Woah calm down bro , Well it depends on what relation you see her as." Vihaan told him.

Ishaan looked at the mobile as if Vihaan is drunk-shitting him ," there is a fucking relation base apology." He asked baffled.

"Yeah , like if she is your mother she will be happy if you spend time with her do something special for her talk about your childhood days, if its your sister then giving your credit cards and she will be all smile, and if she is girlfriend then take her to shopping then to dinner." Vihaan explained.

Fuck learning about shooting gun and running my business is easier then this shit he thought shaking his head and blowing air from his mouth , he then thought about Vihaan's words. Sister and mother was a complete no then the only option is...

" Ahem how do you make it up to Amaya after a fight." He asked clearing his throat trying hard not to acknowledge the sudden warmness of his face must be stress.

" Well there are various ways but I m going to tell you the easiest and most effective one , take her to a expensive restaurant, don't wait for her to order and instead order for her yourself this way she will know how much you pay attention and yes don't order anything heavy, just a expensive salad nothing else, girls like to keep check on their diet, she will click photos of every last thing and by the end of the dinner you will be forgiven with A+." Vihaan completed.

"Oh God Jaiden what magic did your boss did , till now I only used to think. Him as a angry vampire who is always ready snap everyone's neck but now he knows magic too." Nisha blabbered as she got inside the car .

"Boss knows your brain takes to absorb everything, he predicted your reaction yesterday only and ordered our best hacker to take care of everything." Jaiden informed her with light humor.

She throwed paperball in his head, but just then she her phone buzzed.

Sexy-Vampy 🤤😻🔥' Be ready, will pick up by 8.'

Pick me up for where She thought confused.

"Jay do you know for where Ishaan will pick me up by 8." She asked him but he shook his head.

"Should I head the car towards bookstore." Jaiden asked not sure if she would head to work after yesterday incident.

Nisha Sighed nodding in 'Yes' she thought it was better to come clean then running like a coward, also Ethan was her friend and he deserved a an explanation.

When they reached the store it was barely crowed with few customers here and there. She saw Ethan sitting in the cash counter, when noticing her he ignored coldly and continued his work.

Goodluck Nish Nisha thought with a deep breath as headed towards Ethan, she took a seat next to him and cleared her throat, not getting response she kept clearing her throat irritating him.

"What do you want Nisa." He asked irritated.

"A chance to explain myself." Nisha told him sweetly smiling,

"Fine, tell me how the hell the Ishaan Singhaniya know you no scratch it , talks like you are his fucking property ." Ethan snapped irritated.

Nisha Sighed and started to tell him everything leaving their first meeting, and the moments between them which is only for her mind to treasure , Ethan doesn't have to know that.

" Soo you are telling me that Your mother was very close to him during his childhood but because of some reason they lost contact and after your mother's tragic demise Ishaan took you with him to here in New York and from then you are living with him." Ethan told her absorbing every information.

Nisha winced at 'Asha's demise ' it was months since the incident but still as much as she tried to accept the reality it hurts. She nodded at his question.

Ethan inside twisted hearing them living together, yesterday he could very well read the possessiveness oozing out of Ishaan for Nisha , and now hearing all these he felt his heart burn.

"But why , I mean I know at that time you were vulnerable but now you are somehow stable and also know soo many people who cares for you , if you want I can find you a nice and affordable apartment for living, don't get me wrong I m not judging you but I don't trust rich billionaire guys like him." Ethan said raising his hands.

Nisha was a little taken aback but she respected his point of view, she could understand his worry for her and lack of trust on Ishaan after all the world only know the Mr.Singhaniya not her Vampy.

A thought of her living alone in a apartment crossed her mind and Ishaan reaction and action to , well the building will be transformed into macho guards service center Nisha thought amused.

" I will let you know." Nisha told him with a small smile not wanting to hurt his feelings.

In a blink it was 7pm , Nisha looked at the watch , there are still few customer Left what should I do she thought biting the inside of cheek, "Hey Nish any problem." Ethan asked her.

"No was thinking about my pending assignments , the deadline is tomorrow and I still have Soo much to work on." She lied sorry Ethan .

Ethan smiled," Do one thing leave early today I will manage ." He told her .

Her eyes lit up," Thank you Ethan, I owe you." Nisha Told him genuinely feel a bit guilty, Ethan just waved her off.

By the time she reached the mansion it was already 7: 50, she cursed all the traffic of New York.

If start to get ready now it will take time, she thought, she looked at herself and thought her fitted denim and shirt was decent enough. she didn't wanted to keep him waiting, also she was a excited to see where this surprise going out was, she felt like a schoolgirl meeting her crush.

Chuckling at her own thought, she went to washroom to make herself presentable, she sent a quick text to Jenny to keep Ben for tonight.

Just as she entered the living area she got his text,

Sexy-Vampy 🤤😻🔥' waiting outside.'

Grinning like a fool she hurried outside, the scene she was greeted with nearly made her drool.

He was leaning on the car , his suit jacket on forearm , the top buttons of his shirt was unbuttoned giving a view of his chiseled dusky smooth skin teasing her , the sleeve of his shirt was folded till the elbow exposing his muscleed vainy arms , the Rolex watch shinning in the dark..

Feeling a heated gaze Ishaan looked up to fine Nisha looking at him with eyes hooded with look of..desire , Ishaan body heated at the thought, his heart rate picked up as his mind refused to corporate with him. Not wanting the moment to last he straighten up,

" We are getting late." He said opening the door for her.

Nisha's eyes widened curse you Nish she thought embarrassed as she hurriedly sat inside. The drive was silent one but to their relief it was not awkward.

By the time Ishaan parked outside a huge fancy building Nisha has composed herself from her embarrassment. She looked at the building it was written in some different language which failed to understand expect the restaurant word.

"Why are we here..." Nisha asked dumbly making Ishaan raise eyebrow at her in amusement, realizing how dumb her question was she held up a finger ," No Don't answer that." She said as he opened her side of door.

As thew entered inside Nisha's jaw dropped the interior was classy and expensive, even the floor looked expensive and polish that she feared her shoes will get it dirty.

" I... Ishaan if you wanted to eat outside we could have stopped at a less expensive restaurant." Nisha whispered to him as waiter escorted them to table facing the pool.

But Vihaan said expensive restaurant, did she not like it or is feeling guilty about the expenses Ishaan though confused.

"No, I wanted to visit here for a long time." He said pulling the chair for her.

Nisha sat down though the interior was beautiful still she felt out of place,then she noticed one thing they were the only person there, strange, such a expensive restaurant but no customer, my bookstore is more famous then this Nisha thought frowning.

Ishaan sat there with anxiousness he never done something like this, he didn't know what her reaction would be and in the anxiety he told Jaiden to book the most expensive Italian restaurant for the night for only them.

He sat there like a dumbfuck not knowing what to do , the fucker Vihaan just told him the basic not the details, he clenched his jaw as he temper rose at the Royal Bastard.

"Are we here to just stare at this place." Nisha's voice snapped him back as then he realized he was staring at the wall.

"No I mean it's a beautiful place if you want I can join you." She told him biting her lips to stop the laugh.

He gave her a deathpanned look," Thank you very much Ms.Ahuja." he said.

"Aren't we gonna order anything, where is the menu and that waiter." Nisha asked looking everywhere.

"It's already ordered." Ishaan said and judged her reaction to see if that worked.

Nisha looked at him surprised now that's surprising she thought impressed, in a corner of her mind thought keep hitting her that this feels like a date not the kind of date Nisha prefered but still a date and it made her cheeks to feel hot, does he realize it to she thought then looked at him who looked very much tensed about something, probably not she thought in amusement.

Their order soon arrived and not sooner did the waiter placed the dish in front of her did Nisha's smile falter.

Green and only green with few red tomatoes and other things which she didn't know, the amount was Soo small that it will barely touch a corner of her stomach.

Why is he making me eat ghaas phoos ( translation:"Grass straw.') Nisha thought blinking at her plate, she doubted she looked familiar to any goat or any vegetarian animals.

Ishaan observed her reaction she looked everything but impress, Damm she looked like child who has been forced to eat vegetables instead of chocolate.

"Do you like it." He asked.

Nisha looked at him and smiled slowly , she didn't want to hurt his feelings he , first time he tried to do something on own and she would happy swallow burnt food then let his hope to crush.

"Yes." She said putting a forkful of lettuce in her mouth.

"This means Vihaan was right." Ishaan mumbled, he thought whatever Vihaan said was a total bullshit and Nisha would throw the plate of salad in the waiters head.

Nisha's ears perked up at Vihaan's name, for some reason it sounded very much like what she is thinking," right about what." She asked him raising her eyes slowly.

Ishaan frowned," I didn't know what to do Soo I asked Vihaan for advice as he is more experienced in these and he gave me all these ideas of ordering salad and said girls like it." He said almost innocently.

The peace of vegetables almost struck on her throat as she coughed , she looked at Ishaan wide eyed," He said WHAT." She shouted in shock.

_______________

"Hahahah." Nisha clutched her stomach as it started aching from her continues laughing. Ishaan throwed her a annoying look as he drove the car.

Apparently when Nisha explained to him that how much impressed she has been with Vihaan idea, they both ditched the restaurant and Nisha bide farewell to the salad.

"Seriously expensive restaurant and salad , which girls get impressed with this Ishaan." She said going into another pit of laughter.

Vihaan you fucker wait till I get my hands on you he thought clenching his jaw, but in a way he should have known this girl is different, and different is what he needs.

Surprised at the thought he focused back on the road." But you were Soo cute like a lost child." Nisha said pulling his cheek to which he glared.

"On a serious note , where are we going this isn't the way to mansion." Nisha asked noticing the unfamiliar surrounding.

"I m kidnapping you and then will force you to forgive me." Ishaan lightly joked.

" My my Ishaan Singhaniya is joking with me, " Nisha said placing her hand on her heart.

"But Mr. Kidnapper you don't know I have a personal vampire who goes berserk for my safety Soo you better watch out before he snaps your neck." Nisha said teasing back.

Ishaan shook his head a light expression on his face reflecting the peace of his heart.

They stopped infront of a McDonald's and Nisha's eyes lit up, " To stop the marathon running mouse in your stomach." Ishaan said getting out of the car.

Nisha smiled she felt happy and only few people could have the opportunity to be happy in this world and with Ishaan Singhaniya she is always happy and she doesn't think anything else more important, she knows she can't lose him.

He returned with bags of foods, Nisha snatched them from him and moaned taking the bite, fuck Nish Ishaan thought shifting uncomfortably , the sound of her moans did things to him which he rather not explain.

"You are the best Ishaan Singhaniya." She thought deavoring her extra cheese chicken burger.

" Then am I forgiven." He asked with amuse starting the car.

Nisha thought for sometime then nodded her head in negative," I want to mess with you more." She told him cheekily.

If anyone ever saw him with her they will most probably think him as a doppelgänger of Ishaan Singhaniya, He let her rule him , no matter how much he denies but he was enchanted by her, she could hold him at gun point and he will let her pull the trigger without any regret.

They parked in side of isolated highway because if the night tike there was less car,

"Come with me." He said getting out of the car, with a confused smile she followed him.

They both sat on the bonnet of the car with their McDonald package of food in their hand.

"Woah this is weird." Nisha looking around, she never sat in middle of the the road in middle of the night.

Ishaan smriked lightly," I thought you liked weird." He asked teasingly.

A breeze bloweed past them making Nisha wrap her arms around, her shirt did little to protect her from the midnight chilling breezes," Yes but with a more protective clothing." Nisha said.

Rolling his eyes he got down and took out his jacket from the seat and wrapped it around her, the size difference made the jacket to becoming a more blanket fulling drowning her.

A blush coated her cheeks as Ishaan stepped back, the gesture felt more romantic then she thought making a fuzzy feeling in her stomach.

Ishaan noticed her red cheeks and it drowned on him how romantic the gesture felt and he internally cursed himself ,but I can't let her get sick he thought and sat back on the bonnet eating his food.

As they sat there Nisha thought to tease him a bit to stop the unfiltered thoughts running in her head.

" Soo you do realize that you in way took me to a date." Nisha told him bumping her shoulder with him with a teasing look.

He gave her look," Cut the crap Nish." He told her with his grumpy voice.

"Ah, lier , think carefully You took me to dinner this is what a date is." She told him , she loved to be greeted by his cold glaring eyes.

"This is what people call as date." Ishaan said scrunching his face in disgust, he couldn't believe people die for this bullshit.

"Aww cutie." Nisha awwed at his scrunched face pulling his cheek, she openly challenge anyone to show her something more cute than Ishaan face when scrunched like that.

Ishaan glare deepened," Nish I m going to throw off the bonnet if you don't st....wait what are you doing." He asked confused seeing inspecting something in the ground.

She turned towards him with grin," checking how hard the the fall will be." She told him with a wink, Making him Huff with irritation.

Something struck her her, she whipped her to him," Wait does that mean you never went on a date." She asked shocked.

Ishaan looked at her with narrowed her eyes then shrugged," No." Basically it was true because he never got the opportunity to confess his feelings to Zoya let alone take her to date , he didn't even know if she shared the same feeling as him.

Surprised filled her she never thought he is that innocent in the relationship department," Soo this means, you never been in a relationship, never been in Love, never romantically told someone ' I love you'." Nisha asked him.

" In a way." He told her , he didn't wanted to hide about Zoya.

A uneasy feeling filled her in a way, what the hell does he mean she thought angirly.

"Meaning." She inquired.

" She was my best friend, who was with me when I was at my lowest, but I never got to tell her how I feel as she left this world before I could." He told her shortly, he felt her squeeze his hand.

Nisha sure didn't very liked to hear about that girl but hearing that she is no more in this world pinched her heart , she knows what it is to lose someone and would never wish it on someone else, she could feel she must be special for him as he seemed lost in his thoughts, she felt her mood dampen that at the thought of someone else who could rule his thought.

Ishaan saw her faded smile and frowned, she was smiling a moment a ago what happened suddenly, " What happened, why the faded smile." He asked softly.

Nisha tightened her grip on his hand and shook her with a smile, she couldn't tell him her silly thoughts." Nothing, let's enjoy the silence for sometime, its peaceful here." With you but she held herself back.

Ishaan eyes softened and nodded, truly it was peaceful, he never thought sitting in middle of the road in midnight with food and a crazy girl will bring him peace.

After sitting there for sometime they left for the mansion, as they were about to head towards their room Ishaan called her ,

"Didn't I got successful in gaining your forgiveness yet." He asked.

She smiled mischievously and shook her head," No I want to have fun more , it's not every day I get to have this much fun." She told him cheekily.

"Don't know why I let you do this always." He muttered.

"Because you l....care for me." She held herself back from saying the word, winking at him she left to her room.

_______________

Next morning

"Ishaan can I please use your laptop once my is having some problem." Nisha asked as they finished breakfast.

" Yeah sure, it's in my room." He said buttoning his blazer, he noticed her slight hesitation at the mention of his room and understood his words still has a effect on her.

"You do know right whatever I said that day was out of anger." He asked her seriously.

She nodded," I know it's just.." she started but he cut her off.

" Then go to my room , without any hesitation." He ordered and she struck he tongue out.

"Way mature Nish." He said rolling his eyes.

"Thank you very much." She told him mockingly and went towards his room.

While entering his room she hesitated it's okay Nish he genuinely apologized she thought to herself and entered, she saw his laptop on the bed, while opening the laptop something caught her eyes, there in the search bar.

' how to apologize to a girl'

' Suggestions on gaining forgiveness.'

Nisha had a hard time controlling her laugh, it seemed adorable to her that how much efforts he was giving for her silly demands , he could have straightly told her 'No', he could have avoided her topic knowing she has already forgiven him and was just having fun, but he didn't.

You are big softy Singhaniya and you are intensifying my crush on you more and more Nisha thought with a goofy smile.

She thought to put an end to his miseries and took out her mobile.
.

Ishaan was about to leave for work when Nisha's voice stopped him ,

"You don't have any idea Alisha how much I m craving Chole bhature, If the name alone is enough to make me hungry, No No where will I find my tasty tasty chole bhature here , and you know I don't know cooking, You know if someone brings chole bhature infront of me today then no matter how big of crime they did I will forgive them in a blink..." Nisha made sure to talk loudly while holding the phone to her ear to the blank screen.

Ishaan ears perked up at the last words , he pretended to not hearing when she hung up and walked towards him to have extra tight goodbye hug,

His stupid heart would wait all 24hours for this particular time of the day like a fucking child, her hugs were soothing and warm just like her , but Damm he would shoot himself before admitting it.

As clinged to him like a koala on a tree he tried hard not to smile, her hugs were his favorite , a safe place where he could let his guards down , where he doesn't have to be The Ishaan Singhaniya, just her....Vampy.

He pulled his guards up when she broke the hug with a grin on her face ," See you jerk face." She told him teasingly and his eyes widened before he could say anything she runaway laughing.

__________________

"And then he took me to the most expensive restaurant I forgot the name, and ordered salad for me." Nisha told Alisha as she showed her the newest romance novels.

Alisha laughed at her, while they were laughing someone bumped Alisha shoulder causing her coffee to spill on Nisha's shirt.

Alisha's eyes widened," Oh shit , I m really sorry , Watch it you jerk." Alisha shouted at the guy who ignored them.

She turned towards Nisha who was cleaning her shirt with a tissue but the damage was already done.

"Oh God Nisha I m really sorry , thank goodness it was cold coffee." She said genuinely feeling bad.

"It's okay, relax it wasn't your fault." Nisha assured her with a smile my favorite shirt she thought with a internal pout.

"Listen let me buy a new shirt." She told her grabbing her hand.

Nisha eyes widened and she shook her head," What! No, just chill Alisha." Nisha waved her off,

"Ok fine but then please come with me to my apartment it's just a block away, you seriously aren't telling me that you will stay in this shirt right." Alisha gave her puppy eyes.

"Please No , otherwise I will feel guilty." She told her with puppy eyes,

Nisha huffed," You always do this, fine, let me just inform my boss." She gave in making Alisha grin.

After informing her employer , they sat Nisha's car with Jaiden in the wheel.

It was a big complex and Nisha wasn't surprised, they entered the lift for her floor.

"Please have a seat." Alisha told Jaiden as they entered,

" I m fine." He said standing like a statue making Nisha to roll her eyes.

Alisha escorted Nisha to her bedroom," you wait I see if I have something of your size." She told her with a smile entering her walk-in closet.

As Nisha waited she looked at the bedroom interior it was simple and classy with Purple theme it must be her favorite color she thought, she saw many photoframes and walked closer to it, there were many people along with Alisha , she saw some photos of a young Alisha and smiled, but then a photo caught her eyes,

It was two little girls wearing school uniform they barely looked more then four. One which Nisha thought to be Alisha was grinning ear to ear while the other was smiling a little shyly. The other girl looked strangely familiar to her.

"It was clicked during our first friendship." Alisha's voice made her turn , She was standing behind her with a Shirt, looking at the picture with a smile.

Nisha smiled," Your BFF." She asked.

Alisha nodded," More of a sister." She said chuckling.

"Is she the same Chatterbox friend you were talking about." She asked remember the girl Alisha fondly talked about.

Alisha nodded.

Nisha looked back at the photos, there was her college days and many others," She is same businesswoman like you." She asked her.

Alisha shook her head," No." She said as the smile faded from her lips.

"Oh which field she is in then." Nisha asked.

"Nowhere." Alisha said making Nisha look at her confused.

"I lost her Nisha." Alisha whispered,

Surprise flickered her eyes," What was her name...no I mean I m sorry.' she scolded herself for being a idiot.

Alisha chuckled," No it's fine." She told her, she looked at the photo as emotion flickered he eyes when it again landed on Nisha who was looking at the picture sadly.
