A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 10

*Nitish Pov*

I groaned with the way it feels like someone is hitting my head without pausing for a second and opened my eyes only to close them again not able to keep them open.

However, hearing a doorbell, I tried my best to open them and looked around before remembering that I am in Shrishti's hotel room.

Shrishti! God! I thought covering my face but shifted my hands to check the time and give a call to grandma before facing what happened yesterday.

"I talked to Grandma a few minutes back. She is having her breakfast." I got startled hearing Shrishti's voice and glanced to find her standing near the door with her hands folded.

"Do you remember the things you used yesterday? Get freshen up and then we can have breakfast. We need to travel a bit today to reach our destination. Are you fine or shall we postpone?" she asked casually while I just stared at her.

"Do you want to sleep longer?" she added after a few minutes of silence with a smile.

"I... Yesterday..." I trailed off and her smile slipped before she sighed and started walking towards me and sat before me.

"Do you like me?" she asked staring into my eyes.

I got startled with that question and slowly shook my head in negative to which she nodded.

"If you were not drunk then would you have tried to kiss me?" she continued and I again shook my head in negative.

"Then? We can just blame the alcohol and make sure you don't drink too much with anyone present near you. I understand that you don't have any ill intentions but everyone will not be like that. So, take care about it later." She added patting my hand.

Wait! Does she think this is my habit or something? I thought frowning but I don't know what to say. Even yesterday night when she told me to forget about everything I really didn't know why I even tried to kiss her in the first place.

"You are taking it too lightly. Aren't you angry?" I asked frowning and she smiled before taking a deep breath.

"Do you know what I want the most and also make sure I work hard for it?" she asked back and I shook my head.

"I don't want any kind of disturbances between people and do not want a situation to drag too much which could harm the relationships between two people. I always try that everyone in my family and not limited to my father to have good moments with each other and if there is any disturbance between any two then I feel uncomfortable. So, if you were not a special friend then I would have completely ignored you and never met you again like ever." I stared at her hearing those words.

"So, right now I want us to forget that anything happened and just be casual and not let it disturb our dynamics." Saying that she just stared at me while I calmly tried to understand before nodding at her.

"Fine! Let's forget about it until you bring it out." She shook her head hearing those words.

"That won't happen unless I like you and there is no chance for that to happen." With that, she stood up before gesturing to the washroom and then at my clothes arranged on the table near the bed.

Why? Because of your first love? I thought shaking my head and decided it is better to change out of her clothes as they are kind of tight but we didn't have any other option yesterday.

I sighed freshening up and at the same time letting go of yesterday's incident. By the time I stepped out of the bedroom, I calmed down and talked to her casually which made her smile.
