Third Person PoV

"Seriously!?" Aadhya lept from her seat and turned around to give Dev a look of shock.

"I'll ask you one more time," She paused and glared daggers at him, "Ronaldo or Messi?"

"I already told you but, Ronaldo." He raised an eyebrow, daring her to question his choice.

"Messi scores better," She did dare to question it, she was a die-hard Messi fan. Dev grinned and leaned back on the couch, knowing that this argument would stretch for at least an hour. The two were peas in a pod and childhood best friends.

"Ronaldo's played in three different leagues," Dev challenged her claim, "Messi's only been in one team."

"Messi thinks through the game more, while Ronaldo just kicks the ball." She crossed her arms and shot back, and Dev chuckled.

"Well, Messi fails to perform in decisive matches and finals, while Ronaldo does." Dev played his trump card, and the two had a miniature standoff.

"Fine, you win this time." Aadhya flopped back down on the couch while Dev grinned at his triumph.

"Don't be too smug," She elbowed him, and he winced. Their eyes met and they held the gaze for a few seconds too long, making it awkward.

"You know, there's this girl I like..." Dev started at what he thought was a casual thing to say, and Aadhya immediately turned around to face him.

"Who?" She demanded, and Dev hesitated. "I'm your best friend," She flared up with anger, and he motioned to cool down.

"She's just... perfect..." He sighed wistfully, and Aadhya nudged him with a smile. They heard a bark, and Gold, Aadhya's puppy, shot out of the bathroom. Aadhya lost her balance and fell sideways. She squeezed her eyes shut waiting for the painful impact. Dev, by instinct, reached out for her. Aadhya's eyes fluttered open, surprised to find herself not sprawled on the ground.

But lip-locking with her best friend
