We reached the mall and started shopping. For our luck, the mall wasn't too crowded, so we were not mobbed by fans. But still, we had to take care. We split up into different directions. I purchased a pair of jeans, some tees, some shirts, a pair of shoes and a denim jacket. I hadn't expected the mall to be this good.

As I walked out of a store, I saw a jewellery shop. I was with Niall, so I told him that we should purchase a gift for the girls. We went there and started seeing different gifts. Soon, Niall and I were out of the store taking three pendants for them. Then, after all the shopping was done, we took our bags to the hotel and headed to Aisha's house for lunch. We split up into different cars. Louis was driving the car we rented in Mumbai and Aisha was driving her car. So, Alia, Muskaan, Louis and Liam were in one car, and following our car. Aisha was really good at driving.

"Hey, Aisha. Can I ask you something?" Niall spoke from behind. I was with him in the back and Harry was besides Aisha.

"Yea, sure." She said, not taking her eyes off the road. I could see them through the front rear-view mirror. The strands of her hair were flowing slightly with the wind.

"You girls don't have boyfriends, do you?" He asked.

"And what makes you ask that?" Aisha asked again, looking at Niall in the mirror. While I was look at her eyes in the mirror. The way they shined when she laughed, or talked about something she adored was beautiful.

"You know, you three never told us about that. And if you had boyfriends, you would introduce them, won't you?" Niall explained.

"Yea, that's true. And yes Niall, we are single." Aisha replied proudly, and I could swear I saw her looking at me. They lingered on me for a second, before Harry spoke up.

"So you don't mind, if we drool over you?" He added.

"Harry!!" She exclaimed as she gave him a glare. I chuckled silently.

"What!? You said you were single." Harry replied.

"Harry, it's awkward to talk like this." I said in between. And Harry gave me a smug look.

"Yea.. See, Zayn understands me." She said as she cocked her head in my direction. Yes.. I do... 

I wish I could understand what's going on with my feelings too.

"Sure. He does." Niall said looking at me and gave me a smug smile. I rolled my eyes.

"Guys, we're here!" She said as she stopped.

Aisha's POV

We were in our driveway as Louis' car entered through the gate. They come out of their car and headed towards us. The five looked around, impressed.

"Wow! Your house is pretty big. And nice." Liam said.

"Thanks. Now, let's go in." Alia said as she lead everyone in. We entered in. I heard my mom humming songs in the kitchen. And I loved it when she did this.

"Mom!! We're here!" I called her.

"Hey Aishu!! Hi girls.. Hi boys!!" She said taking a good look at everyone.

"Hello ma'am!!" The boys said in unison. She squinted her eyes slightly, before her face lit up on another level

"Wait! I know you guys... you're One Direction, right?! I love your songs!!" Mom added with a grin. The boys smiled.

"Thank you Ma'am." Harry replied.

"No problem. I'm so happy for you Alia!! You're friends with the people you dreamt to meet. Let me tell you all, Alia's a great fan of yours. She literally talks about you everyday. Especially you—"

"Mom!! No please. You'll embarrass me." She cut mom's sentence, whispering quietly to her before she would say someone's name specifically. I sighed, it would have made the whole thing weird.

"Oh! Okay. Guys, come over here. Lunch's ready." Mom said pointing her hand towards the dining table. Oh to have such a sweet Mother! My friends always bragged about how cool she was, and I absolutely agreed to it.

"Ahh, thank you so much ma'am. I was really hungry." Niall said with a relief. Mom laughed slightly.

"When are you not Niall?" Louis nudged him and we all laughed.

"Enough. Let's eat." Muskaan said with a smile.

We all took our seats. I was sitting in between Harry and Liam, with Zayn in front of me. He smiled at me and I quickly looked away.

Oh god.. why?? I was way too afraid that I would start blushing. I didn't know why but I felt a spark every time I was with him. Today, when I caught glancing him at me from the mirror, my face changed colour. Thank God no one noticed it. I wonder what would have happened if our kiss wasn't interrupted today. I facepalmed mentally. What was I thinking?

Everyone was enjoying their meal, especially Niall and Zayn. Niall, of course, he was a foodie... A big one. And Zayn, he missed home-made food. It was funny to watch them all eat with their hands, but trust me, they did really well. After sometime, we all got up from our seats and washed our hands.

"Thank you so much for this meal, Ma'am, it was delicious." Liam said as he spotted Mom.

"Yea, it was. And even the vada pavs you sent yesterday were amazing." Niall said remembering the name. Everyone agreed by nodding their heads.

"Oh. Thank you. But, now I've to leave. I'm meeting a friend. So you guys have fun. And, don't make a mess." Mom awared us, specially giving me a look. I nodded.

"Yes, Mrs. Mehra, we'll take care. Have a good time." Muskaan assured her.

"I will, dear. Bye!!" Mom yelled looking at each one of us.

"Bye!!" We said in unison, watching her exit. As if on cue, all of us sighed loudly. We looked at each other before breaking out into laughter.

"So, what now?" Louis asked after our laughter stopped.

"Would you like to see the house?" Muskaan suggested.

"Yea sure." Zayn replied.

Alia started to show them our house. The living room, kitchen, basement, back yard, guest room, terrace, Muskaan's room and Alia's room. Now it was my room. As we were in front of my room. I realised my room is full of paintings and sketches. I quickly hopped in front of my room's door. I didn't like people watching my art.

"And this is Aish-Woah... easy girl. What happened?" Alia asked me raising one eyebrow.

"Maybe, can you just wait for a minute? I think my room's a bit messy." I lied, hoping somehow I'd take down everything before showing them the room.

"No, it isn't. Its perfectly fine, just move." Muskaan said, obviously annoyed.

"Muskaan..." I said but trailed of, not knowing what to say.

"Maybe, she doesn't want us to see her room." Liam said wondering. I shook my head.

"No, it's not like that Liam." I assured him.

"Maybe her naked boyfriend is hiding in her room!" Louis said, fake surprised.

"Gosh!! Louis no!!" I exclaimed rolling my eyes.

"Maybe, I can handle her." Zayn added and came near me. I realized that my height reached his nose. 

Why do I think such things again?

"Um... Zayn. What are you talking about?" I asked with my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Just after I said that, Zayn lifted me on this shoulder. My face flushed and my jaw dropped in surprise. I was beating him, wanting to get out of his grip. He wasn't being affected. I heard my door open. Shit. What now!!? After some seconds, Zayn slowly put me down. I saw their faces, they were shocked, except Muskaan and Alia of course, they knew it. The guys were staring at my wall with artwork.

"You wanted to hide this from us?!" Harry said, shocked.

"I just... didn't wanted to feel embarrassed." I said looking at my feet.

"Are you kidding me? These are awesome! What is there to be embarrassed?!" Louis exclaimed in disbelief.

"You like them??" I looked up and asked no one in particular.

"Of course, I loved them!" Zayn exclaimed.

"Amazing." Liam added as he stared at the wall.

"You shouldn't be embarrassed of these.. come on, Aisha!!" Niall assured me.

"Thank you so much guys.." I replied sheepishly.

I painted and sketched really well, my loved one's words, not mine. But my problem was, most of my sketches and paintings were drawn when I was emotional, so I didn't like anyone going through them. Art helped me let my emotions through them. Also, I had the sketch of Zayn that I drew recently, that was what I was afraid that they might notice. But, they liked it a lot. So, I was happy. They were still checking my room out.

"Hey Aisha!! Your whole room is well decorated, but why is this wall plain white?" Zayn asked me, pointing towards my white wall.

"Actually, I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do on it..." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Okay." He answered wondering. I wondered what was he wondering?

They all settled in my room. Some sitting on my bed, some on the chairs, and some on the floor. We're all chatting and having a really great time.

For the next three days, we decided to do some sight seeing. We went to Gate way Of India, Juhu beach and a nearby amusement park. All the boys were enjoying their trip to India. Me, Alia and Muskaan had pre-exam holidays, so even we were enjoying. I know that pre-exam holidays are for studying, but who gives a damn!!

.

.

.

We decided to play games at the boys' hotel. Me and Zayn went for taking some snacks. I was shaking nervously, I mean, it was obvious I liked him. I always get nervous around my crush. We had been spending a lot more time together, and I starting liking him, a lot. As Alia used to describe him, his charm really did work on me. We spent an hour looking for the demanded snacks. When we came back, we saw them fighting with pillows.

"Did we miss anything?" I asked them. They huffed and settled down on the floor, all of them red in the face.

"No, you're just in time." Louis said as we joined them.

"Louis prepared for a game!!" Alia said looking at him. He gave us a cheeky smile.

"Spin the bottle!!" Liam exclaimed. This is gonna be good!! We all sat in a circle.

"Ok, what are the rules??" Zayn asked as he sat down. Louis pulled out a fish bowl from under the bed, making us laugh.

"See, this bowl has chits full of truths and dares. And, no backing off, if you do, you're grounded for a week. These can be simple, embarrassing or dirty. The committed people, are you okay with it?" Louis said as he glared at Liam.

"Yea!!" Liam said.

"Are you sure?" I asked him again. He shrugged.

"Of course.." He assured me.

"Okay then!" I sighed. I wasn't sure about this idea. But it would be fun!!

"Okay, so let's start!!" Louis shouted as he took the bottle out. With that he spun the bottle. It ended up coming on Niall. Niall lifted a chit from the ball.

"Okay... so take a picture of yourself removing your sock with your teeth and put it on your Instagram?" Niall asked surprised, chuckling at the end.

Everyone started laughing. These truths and dares are gonna be shittily dangerous. Niall took a picture and posted it on instagram with caption '@louist you gonna pay for this dare!' Then Niall spun the bottle. It ended up on Alia.

"Its a dare. Mock the person on the other end of the bottle." Alia said as she looked up to the other end. 

The person on the other end of bottle was Zayn. As Alia was a fan, she would clearly know how to mock each one of them. We whined a bit. That was too easy, but she shrugged us away.

Alia started mocking Zayn's accent, and it was horrible. Honestly, even I was enjoying her weirdness. It was really funny. Now, Alia spun the bottle. It stopped on Harry.

"Ok, so its a dare, Louis are there any truths??" Harry asked glaring at Louis. He looked quite taken aback.

"Don't ask me! Accuse your fate, peasant!" Louis said in a sassy tone, shrugging his shoulders.

"Ok, fine!! Smooch the person on your right for 10 seconds...." Harry said with a grin, showing off his dimple.

He looked on his right to find....... me. 

What!? I'm gonna kiss Harry!?

You wish it was Zayn, didn't you? my subconscious mocked, making my eyes wide open. 

What?! No! I thought back, and eyed Harry with a glare.

"It's a dare Aisha.. Not my fault!!" Harry said raising his hands in surrender.

"Well if she doesn't want to do it you can't force it!" Zayn retorted quickly, the tips of his ears appearing red. All of us looked at him. "I-um-I mean, of course! That's what I mean.. You'll have to ground Harry for the week though-"

"That's not fair Louis!!" I whined at Louis. It wasn't Harry's fault.

"Come on Aisha, its just a smooch and you have to kiss him back. You're not even committed. Or he'll be grounded for a week!" Liam said rolling his eyes. If only you knew..

"Aisha, please I don't wanna be grounded. I wanna explore this beautiful city of surprises with my best friends!" Harry added with pleading eyes. Oh he's so dramatic..

"Its just a game Aisha, go for it." Muskaan assured me. I took a deep breath and shook my head. It wouldn't be fair to Harry..

"Okay!!" I sighed and they cheered up.

Harry leaned in towards me, I stayed in my position, not sure what to do. My heartbeat was increasing rapidly. My fucking nerves were out of the place. He cupped my face with one hand and pulled me for kiss. I closed my eyes. Wait, but he isn't kissing me!

I opened my eyes slightly, his hand was around me face in such a way that no one could see our lips. He was kissing me just on the corner of my mouth. Oh this clever bastard!

"Is the time over?" I recognized it as Zayn's voice.

"Still 5 seconds, Zayn.." Louis said to him. I sighed in relief, wait the voice I let sounded wrong.

"Why are these 10 secs taking so long!?" Zayn mumbled again. Was he getting jealous?

After we pulled away, I looked at Harry, he winked at me and I held back a smile. He had a smirk on his face. "What??" I asked him raising one eyebrow.

"Your lips taste good!!" His response was unbelievable. He raised an eyebrow, maybe expecting me to play along.

"And you're a good kisser!!" I replied back. We laughed at each other.

"Next one!!" Zayn yelled. I looked at Zayn, he looked away and huffed. Ouch, what happened? Maybe I'm just overthinking. Then, Harry spinned the bottle. It stopped on Muskaan.

"It's truth... What is the most embarrassing moment you've faced in front of your crush??" Muskaan said. I started laughing. Because only I knew this.

"Stop laughing!!" She yelled at me.

"You better tell the truth!!" I awared her.

"Ok!! It was.. It was like fourth grade, ok! I swear to God if any of you laugh-"

"Just tell it!" I beamed, not able to hold my laughter. She sighed, going a little red. 

"Fine.. We were at a pizza party, and I finally got to sit next to my crush." She started. And I was already doubling with laughter, I dug my face into Harry's shoulder, trying to muffle it. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. I could feel Muskaan glaring at me. 

"But then, I fell out of my chair and farted from being startled from the fall.." Her voice became smaller and my laughter became hard to control, but I was controlling it anyway. "..and the silence of the room became deafening ...and it was just me, my fart, and my humiliation." She completed, completely red in the face. I know it wasn't that funny to hear and she made it sound less embarrassing, but I saw that live. She took a look at everyone's face. Everyone was trying to control their laughter. Maybe they imagined that too..

"I know, its funny. You don't need to suppress your laughter." She shrugged. After this statement, everyone started laughing. Niall and Alia looked like they were having a seizure from laughter.

"Enough! Next one please!!" She said taking the bottle and our laughter died down. She spun the bottle. And it stopped on me. Still not being over the laughing, I excitedly picked a chit. It was a dare.

"It's a dare!! Give a lap dance to the person who has the third birthday from today, for 2 minutes, in the bracket leaving yourself." I read it, my eyes wide in surprise.

"I'm the first, Dec 24." Louis said.

"I would probably be second with Dec 28, but no.." I said trailing off.

"I'm second, Jan 8." Muskaan said.

"Jan 12, I'm the third." Zayn said raising his hand. I feel heat rise up to my cheeks. I was going give Zayn a lap dance. Oh sweet Lord- 

"Okay, this is gonna be interesting, we need music!!" Niall said as he picked his phone. He played 'Dance for you' by Beyonce. Oh holy goodness are you kidding me? 

Zayn sat on a nearby chair. I smirked at his determination. Well then.. I removed my jacket.

"Are you ready Zayn?" I asked him confidently, giving him a playful smile. A smile lingered his beautiful lips.

"As ready as I'll ever be." He winked at me. Aur yaha mai pighal gayi....

I walked towards him and started dancing. After some seconds, I opened my bun and let my hair down. After around a minute, when I sat on his lap, I felt something poking my bum. I quickly got up and stopped dancing. As if my cheeks weren't already red, my whole face matched the shade.

"Why did you stop? There's still a minute to go." Harry asked me.

"I—um, I felt something...." I stuttered a reply, not sure what words I should use.

"Oh my God, Zayn! You've got a boner!!" Liam said and chuckled.

As Liam said this, Zayn and I immediately looked down. He covered his boner, while I looked up as my cheeks burned in embarrassment. He quickly got up.

"Umm--- I.. I'll come in a few minutes." Zayn said, stuttering.

He rushed to his room. Everyone started laughing while I was rubbing the back of my neck in embarrassment. I didn't knew I had such effect on him.

Edit: And about that embarrassing moment of Muskaan, I actually saw a video of that on twitter and I bursted out laughing like a maniac. If I find that again, I'll link it here.

Take care and stress less... Lots of love!!
