05 | CHAPTER FIVE

-

Nostalgia and sadness always goes in together like milk and chai powder. One could definitely tell that I'm literally crazy, absolutely crazy for lurking around Derek's room like I did in my tenth grade; when we had a trip to Hyderabad for the quiz, running, dance and story writing-Zeena, Meera and Aksa had made me do the same thing like how they are doing it right now-threatening me knock his door and kiss him out of black and blue. But back in tenth grade, I didn't get the chance to kiss him, as his girlfriend-ah, that bitch was in his room, munching on fifty-fifty and sweet hearts. I just stuttered all the way while I was talking to him.

I went like:

'H-hey, I-I didn't m-mean to intrude, but I-I just wanted to ask, uh, uh, uh, water? I mean do you h-have water?'

Now when I think about it, it made me laugh. I feel dumb, pretty dumb. But right after that incident happened-Derek was constantly nagging me and I behaved like a bitch-a pretty mean one, ignoring him and asking him to fuck off whenever he said me hi.

"I swear to god, if you ask him water or something, I'll slap you right there," Meera poked my belly and I yelped. "Or worse, I'll trash those plastic coke bottles and disgusting vada pav papers he ate-which you stored from eleventh. I won't even think twice. Seriously do you think we're crazy to get your lazy ass in two in the morning to make you talk to him? IT IS THE ONLY TIME WE'LL GET, DUDE."

"Chill dude, fine, I'll go fuck him." I casually shrugged and Zeena gave me a wink, Aksa gave me a disgusting look and Meera smirked.

"Well, make sure there won't be screams or claw marks," I gasped and slapped Meera's arm, "jus' saying."

"You're disgusting, Meera. Poor Aksa, she's dying inside." I said, while pacing forward to reach his room and Aksa giggled.

"Dude, you won't believe if I say what Aksa-" Aksa flew her hand to shut Meera's mouth and her words were muffled and I shot up my eyebrow at the duo. Zeena clutched her stomach as she started laughing.

"What? Tell me, Aksa!" I huffed and a crimson color tinted Aksa's cheek.

"Dude she gotta know," Zeena looked at Aksa and she rolled her eyes and sighed, smiling sheepishly.

"Fine, go ahead," Aksa said and blushed again and I think, why is she so blushing right now? What happened?

"You know once when Aksa was pretty mad at her boss, who fired her as she wore Harry Potter T-shirt to the meeting," I gasped and Meera nodded her head in understanding manner and resumed, "Yeah, so she went to this bar without telling anyone, literally no one, and drank as fuck. It was her first time, so, obviously she had no control and this hoe over here decided to kiss anyone she saw, like anybody. And as you know how wiggly and furious she gets? The kiss lead to somewhere and in the morning, when the morning she woke up-all she could she was stained sheets-all red. And she thought, no wait, everyone thinks it's their period blood but when she later examined-it was his blood. Blood from his back-the claw marks she left with her fucking deadly fingers and the doctors were literally freaked out when they touched and analyzed his back. And that was so fucked up, honestly and that's why I gave you the caution: no claw marks at any cost. We fucking don't want an accident in here."

I was stunned. Aksa was pretty much red and slapped my arm when I started laughing-like real, loud laugh and everyone joined. "Fuck you, don't laugh."

When the laughter when finally settled as we took labor breaths, we heard a slow whistle, yet a sharp one. It was a sharp intake of breath. Our necks craned to look on the other side to find Derek with an amused expression and his bottom lip between his teeth. Fuck, that's a turn on.

"That was hot." the whisper came out from Meera and I nodded. Before I could even-we all looked at each other. Like widening our eyes and staring at each other. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck-he was eavesdropping. Shit.

"Shit, I won't have sex if my back ends up like that." Derek says and we all take a sharp intake.

"You were eavesdropping? How dare you, Chauhan?" I stepped forward and folded my arms around my chest.

"I didn't mean to, okay?" He stepped forward too, mimicking my actions, "you guys were pretty loud. Louder than those couple who stayed beneath our room in the hotel, in our eleventh grade."

I turned my head back at my friends and they pretty much had same expression as I had: pissed.

"It still doesn't justify it, okay? God, why do you have to be so-?"

"Do you want water, Azra?"

I gasped. "W-what are you implying?"

He smirked slightly and moved two steps forward just an inch away from my face-we were pretty much same height.

"Do you want to repeat the history, Azra? Except this time, there's no girlfriend and there's a collar on my shirt to grip and mould our mouths together. Do you want to Azra?"

My mouth went dry. Excuse me, but how do humans breathe again?

"Whoa! Uh, Azy we'll leave-see you later or morning?" Zeena taunted and both Meera, Aksa laughed as they slowly started moving.

"Shut your mouth, guys." I shrugged them off and focused on the beautiful human in front of me. Derek, what ya doing to me?

Derek moved forward and took my hands in his and kissed my palm. "I really like you, you know? From eleventh when we both were appointed as head prefects," he kissed on back of my palm and I gulped down hard.

"And you remember when you accidently spilled the bucket of colored water on me on the day of holi," he lips found the way to my collarbone and planted a feather like kiss in there. Ah, there go the butterflies. "And when you applied color on my cheek on the holy-mysteriously."

I gasped. He wasn't supposed to know that it was me. "I know what your brain is thinking now," he let his lips wander to my cheeks. "I knew all the way that it was you who kept the kit-Kat chocolate on my desk on your birthday," he slowly, tenderly kissed my cheek.

"Derek," I moaned as he bit down my earlobe lightly and I gripped his shoulders for grip.

"I really like you, Azra Malik," he kissed my forehead. A firm and tender kiss on my forehead and I smiled. He's driving me crazy.

"I like you too, Derek Chauhan." I replied as my eyes flutter open and his eyes stared at mine, I linked our fingers together and kissed them. "I really like you."

"And coming to this," he brushed his thumb pad on my lips and I cooed. "We'll have this later. I don't want to kiss you in the hallway of Zeena's house. I want it to be special."

Disappointed, yet feeling giddy and special-I nodded. This guy will be death of me one day.

"Good night, Malik." He whispered as he kissed my cheek again and I smiled.

"It's morning, Chauhan," I whispered back and he pouted for which I laughed.

"Yeah, I know, but still. Get some sleep and I'll meet you afterwards, okay?" he told as he kissed my forehead once again and paced forward to his room and before he could march off to his room he turned back and smiled at me.

Ah-I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with those three crazy hormonal chimpanzees in my room. Fuck my life.

***

"TELL ME-what happened, you fucking donkey." Meera was practically clawing at me with her perfectly manicured nails. Aksa and Zeena were also curious assholes. I sighed as I sat down on the bed.

"Well, he kissed me-"

"WEEEEEEE! I FUCKING KNEW IT!"

I slapped my forehead as I slapped Meera's back and she settled down on the bead beside me. "He kissed me on my forehead and cheek. That's it you high monkey."

Disappointment filled her eyes. "What the fuck dude? I thought you were eating each other's faces off. I'm so pissed at that coward."

"Shut your mouth, Mirs. He is not coward-he wanted it to be special, okay?" I replied as turned off the light and we all settled down on the queen size cot.

"He's a good catch, then. I'm really happy for you, Azy. That guy's gold." Aksa replied as she kissed my cheek and wrapped her arms around me and threw her legs around me.

"AKSA YA-YOU STILL HAVEN'T DROPPED THE IDEA OF THROWING YOUR LEGS ON ME?"
