Chapter 5: Too Much Too Soon

Rashmi's POV

"This is totally crazy, I am telling you this is not normal, they hardly know each other and he went on a trip with her to god knows where this is not normal she is clearly using him"

"Using him for what? She is paying for the whole thing he is the one who's getting a free trip"

"Oh come on financial security is not the only reason to trap s guy there is this need for emotional support, to need someone to pamper you take care of you, to go out at night and be safe, to get a house or to travel and moreover it's just oddly satisfying to have someone listen to you all the time"

"Okay your vast knowledge about trapping guys is really concerning and honesty freaking me out"

"Oh you know what I mean"

"I really, really don't"

"Oh come on you know Aryan he is really vulnerable when we got married I could totally just walk all over him"

"Still he never let you eat a candy bar in his car"

"Exactly I can't but she can that's not fair"

"I think you are just jealous of Zoe"

"I don't get jealous"

"Ya you just get angry and try to hit people with your car"

"Hey that was a totally different situation"

"Okay fine, but look at the bright side he is no longer depressed"

"Oh depression would have been better"

"Hey, never ever say that, nothing is worse than depression because it happens when your worse fears come to life"

"Your vast knowledge about depression is scaring me"

"Relax.....I am fine"

I thought I heard Aryans bike so I stepped outside to see Aryan and Zoe she was resting her head on his back and sleeping. He parked the bike in front of our house and she opened her eyes.

"Good morning madam" Aryan said.

"Wow we are here already" She said in a sleepy voice as she rubbed her eyes.

"Ya"

She got off the bike.

"Okay I am going to go home and get some rest I have to start working tomorrow"

"Thank you, for everything" Aryan said.

She smiled.

"So I will see you in the evening"

"Okay"

He said and she walked away he kept on staring at her as she crossed the street.

"Hey" I said hitting him on the shoulder. He gave me a confused look as I clearly hit him too hard. "Welcome back" I said giving him a tight hug.

Aryan's POV

"And we ate so much food that I probably would have to start spending extra time at the gym" Zoe said we were at my house as Rashmi invited us over for dinner.

"I think you don't eat enough" I said.

"Ya right"

"So it really sounds like you guys had a lot of fun" Shiv said.

"I have never been happier" Zoe said, I looked at her and she looked back at me with her sparkling eyes.

"So what's next?" Rashmi asked.
