CBG#5 FALLING FOR THE FEISTY RIYA GOEL (NOT EDITED)

Chp:-2 Being A Model

New York, New York, USA.

RIYA GOEL
Being a model is not so easy. We have a hectic life, strict diets, high intensity workouts, posing, runways etc so much stuff. Sometimes we don't even get time for ourselves.

I was in Miami for a photo shoot when I received a call from Nisha. Nisha happens to be my family friend and my best friend cum family friend Natasha Alia Singhania's sister-in-law. Apparently the Singhania youngsters along with Mr Pratik and Mrs Savita Advani Singhania are throwing a surprise pre graduation party for Natasha. She deserves it, after all she's very hardworking and studious. I'm proud of her. My best friend is finally now an architect.

I landed in New York JFK airport last night. Me, Ayesha, Ishaan and Nirav were staying in Ishaan's penthouse in the Upper East Side. Nirav picked me up from the airport. In the afternoon we all went to the New Yorker Singhania family's Manhattan penthouse for lunch. I saw Ishaan and Ayesha there only directly. All of our family friends and the crazy multi billionaire gang were present.

Now, we're all waiting for Gautam, Nikhil, Karan, Kriti, Aashi, Nisha and Alia to come. The party is being held at the 1 oak, the celebrity club VIP lounge, 453W 17th St. New York, New York. One of the best and my favourite clubs in New York.

Natasha's close friends from Yale were also there. After 45 minutes of waiting finally  the Singhania youngsters entered the club and opened Natasha's blindfold and we all yelled, "SURPRISE." Alia was crying out of sheer happiness. She hugged everyone tightly.

Finally she came towards me and squealed, "Riyuuu."

I said, "congratulations Alia." We hugged each other tightly.

Alia said, "I missed you so damn much."

I said, "I missed you too. Don't worry we'll have our girls time very soon. Now just enjoy."

We all had fun together. I danced with all my friends and my brother it was so much fun. I sat down after a while. I became really tired. I asked the bartender to give me my usual drink. She gave it to me. I started sipping my drink. Soon, I felt someone sitting beside me. I turned to see Ishaan. My heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw him.

Ishaan Mehra is my sweetheart. I've been crushing on him since I was 14 years old and now I'm 23. Yeah, 9 long years of crushing on him. Can't be a crush right? Yes, I'm in love. Ishaan is a very nice guy. Words will fall short to describe this fellow. He's really sensible and mature among all the boys of our family friends gang.

Suddenly I saw Ishaan waving his hand right in front of my eyes.

"Hello RIYAAA."

I said, "Argh......Ishaan why are you shouting?"

Ishaan said, "I might have asked like 20 times hey Riya how are you and you seem to be lost in your thoughts."

I said, "you're late."

Ishaan said, "what?"

I said, "it's almost 2hrs since the party has started and you are arriving now."

Ishaan smiled cheekily and said, "I felt tired in the afternoon so I ended up falling asleep and woke up an hour ago so that's why."

I said, "Aww you look so cute when you smile."

Ishaan said, "okay thankyou." He ordered his drink. We talked while sipping our drinks.

Suddenly I started to feel tipsy. Soon, I saw Rohan coming towards us.

Rohan said, "hey guys."

I said, "hello Rohan."

Ishaan said, "yo bro good to see you."

Rohan said, " What's going on between you two? Is it some lovey dovey thing?"

I said, "no no Dev bro. Ishaan is special for me out of all the boys of the group. He's my mentor. My best friend. I take his advice. He guides me just like a big bro but he's my friend."

Rohan asked Ishaan, "is it so?"

Ishaan said, "yeah being 7 years older than her she comes to me and talks instead of talking to anyone else , I'm her secret keeper cum bff." He chuckled.

I forgot to mention that my brother Nirav and Ishaan are best friends. Eventually I also became a little close to Ishaan. He's a good friend of mine. My close friend among the boys are Rohan and Kabir. When it comes to Ishaan it's something totally different and nice.

Rohan smiled and hugged us both and went and mingled with everyone.

I kept on drinking until I actually felt tipsy.

Ishaan said, "woah woah Riya easy easy. You're totally drunk."

I said, "so what if I'm drunk."

Ishaan said, "are you crazy Riya?"

I said, "it's ok. Life has given me great family, amazing friends, high society lifestyle, wealth, happiness, best education, superb career everything except true love. Rahil broke my heart so badly. All the 4 guys in my college whom I dated broke my heart. They used me and dumped me. Everyone calls me the bad girl and heartbreaker. I do relationships and I dump them before I get hurt. I have feelings for this guy whom I've known since ages but I haven't revealed it yet to him. I don't have the guts. I'm afraid of rejection. I have everything except true love."

ISHAAN MEHRA
She kept on rambling. I saw around. Everyone was busy dancing and having fun.
I don't know why seeing Riya like this broke my heart. I've never felt like this before. The moment I saw Riya I started to feel things I've never felt. She's looking so hot tonight. I've never felt like this after seeing a girl. I've never felt this kind of attraction towards a girl.

What should I do? I can't let anyone see Riya in this state. It might be bad for her reputation. I'll have to take her home.

OH RIYA WHY YOU HAD TO DRINK SO MUCH?.......................
