Shreya's POV:

I parked my car outside the cafe that Ranveer had texted me and stepped out.I glanced at the glass doors of the cafe noting my grey jeans and back t shirt as I walked to it.I pulled my rubber band off and ran my fingers through my hair as I pushed the door open and walked in.I looked around trying to find Ranveer.I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.It was Ranveer.I swiped my thumb across it and placed it on my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Look at the right corner" He greeted back.

I turned and saw him wave at me with his body twisted around.I hung up the call and pocketed my phone as I walked in firm strides towards him.He stood up as I neared him and gave a brief hand-shake.I took my seat opposite to him and squared my shoulders as I faced him.

"What is it that you wanted to speak about to me?" I asked before he could start the conversation.

"Let's order something first" He flashed a grin at me.He signalled the waiter to come and ordered food for the both of us.

"Now,batao" I said grabbing a napkin.

"Wow,you speak hindi! Impressive" He praised raising his eyebrows.

"I speak very little hindi.Cut the chase and come to the point" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay Okay" He raised his arms up in the air. "I have a movie proposal for you"

"You want me to pen songs for a movie?" I asked.

"No,I want you to act in the movie as the female lead.That day in the party,It wasn't just me who noticed you.My directer did too." His masculine voice was deep and serious.

"I am not an actress,I am a lyricist" I explained.

"We did a background check and we do know that you have starred in almost all of your school dramas.You had been an awesome actress!" He praised his eyes bright.

"That was school drama but this is movie screen.It is different!" I reasoned out.

"Trust me,you will be awesome!Please agree to be a part of this project.You can even talk to the director,producer and the co-actors" He sounded desperate.

"I need some time to think about this proposal" I told him in a firm voice.

"Sure! I will be around till February.Let me know before March ends because that's when we start our shooting" He said right as our food was served.

"What is the name of the movie?" I asked him as we dug in.

"Golliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela" He replied with a grin.

"Tell me the plot" I asked him with a smile.

We spent two hours talking about the movie and its elements.I liked the plot and the way the story was being directed.It was a modern Romeo Juliet story and I was a sucker for Shakespeare.I bade him farewell and left the cafe.I drove to the One Direction mansion.Considering the current circumstances I was certain that there wouldn't be anybody in the house except for maybe Niall and Liam.I parked the car in the driveway and walked into the house playing with my car-key.

"Shreya" I heard a voice call.

I looked up,it was Louis and his eyes were bloody.He was seated on the couch with his legs propped up on the coffee table and beer bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

"What is wrong with you?" I scolded eyeing the cigarette as I took long strides towards him.

"I had a fight with El" He sighed taking a swig from the bottle.

"What happened?" I asked sitting on the couch beside his.His couch was littered with snacks,alcohol bottles and cigarette packs.

"I kissed another girl when I was drunk yesterday" He sighed dropping the cigarette in the ash-tray and rubbing his face.

"What?" I asked quietly in disbelief.

"I was drunk and I didn't even remember it in the morning.I feel so bad,El must have been so hurt" He groaned.

I stood up from my seat and walked to him and plucked his bottle from him and placed it on the table.He didn't even protest as I made space for me beside him throwing away his cigarette packs and bottles and stuff.I plopped beside him,laid my head on his shoulders and wrapped my arms around him.He held my arms and began crying.

"Hush Lou bear, You didn't do anything intentionally.I am sure that you and El can work it out! You guys are the cutest!" I tried to soothe him.

"You and Harry were more cute,but you guys broke up" Louis looked at me.

"Ours was a different tale" I said pulling away my arms.

"What happened between the two of you?" Louis asked rubbing my back.

"You feel bad because you kissed someone else when you were drunk but Harry kissed another girl right in front of me and then went on accusing me that I was in an affair with Zayn" I said quietly as the tears began to fall on my cheeks.

"I am so sorry" Louis pulled me into a hug.

"It's okay,now go and console El and win back your girl" I pulled from the hug and gave him a gentle push.

"Okay" He sang getting up and walking towards the door.

"Louis,I think you should know that you stink" I chuckled.

"Ugh" He groaned turning around and walking to the staircase.

"Louis" I called.

"What?" He asked freezing on the stairs with his body turned towards me.

"Did Harry feel bad for hurting me?" I asked.

"Oh bub" He sighed,his eyes softening.

"Hurry up,old man!" I cheered running past him up the stairs. 

He raced the stairs with me and then we went on our ways to our rooms.I had a strong urge to cry but I knew I shouldn't cry.I picked up my phone and called Diya but her mobile was not reachable.I dialled Zayn's number next,his was not reachable as well.Rahul was on a plane and Stephen was with a lady-friend.Liam was with Sophie but then there was Niall.I dialled his number and he picked it up in two rings.Ahh I love Niall at the moment.

"If you're not gonna speak,I am going to hang up!" He threatened.

"Don't Niall! You're a saviour and I love you very much at the moment!" I exclaimed.

"Whatever" He said groggily.

"Where are you?" I asked him.

"I am eating take-out from Nandos watching Harry Potter marathon" He answered.

"I am on my way to your room!" I squealed.

"Then order some more take-out!"He ordered.

I ordered more Nandos food and changed into some comfy shorts and tee and padded my way to Niall's room.We spent the rest of the day together watching Harry Potter,eating takeout from Nandos and other Indian restaurant and sleeping.
