He didn't even remember me. As if that came as a surprise Ms. Siddiqui. Ofcourse he didn't.

It was windy, breezy and cool outside, in the resort's garden. A few steps and I wouldn't even know when I entered the jungle. I sat beside Dhara, near the bonfire. Everyone was chatting, and enjoying this lovely whether. A few pairs dancing on the slow music that was being played.

My eyes wandered and stopped at him.

There he stood, near the barbeque, in black sweatpants and a hoodie with the cook and Abeer. And probably Shawn too but I didn't noticed if it was exactly him or not.
My eyes were completely and involuntarily focused on him.

What captivating powers does this man hold?

That smoke around him looked like a halo, or the clouds from the heavens surrounding that precious man who wasn't really meant for this Earth.
If Exaggeration was a degree, I was definitely mastering in that. But this man.....uh!
I sighed and looked away and sipped my tea.
Yeah! While everyone's drinking beer I am having tea. Not because I don't like alcohol.
Not because I cannot handle alcohol.
Not because alcohol is injurious to health.

Ever heard of the black hole kind of mysterious womanly phenomenon known as 'periods'? It hurts. I feel like I am bloating and this chamomile tea is really helping me.

I couldn't help myself and looked towards his direction again. He was approaching the bonfire, while talking to Abeer with a can in his hand. For a short moment I looked at his arms and the way he walks. All of a sudden, I am reminded of the fact that hugging a man can help with period cramps.
Honestly, I never believed that but now that I am looking at him while my palm is trying to help my thighs with the pain, I want to give it a try. Maybe, he is capable of giving me those - pain relieving- oxytocin releasing- dopamine extricating- mind blowing- cuddles.
Brain Fog!
It's all your hormones being a total mess and giving you all these thoughts Zoya! Get your head straight!

Our eyes met for a milli second and before I lose my mind in those eyes, I looked away. He was probably smiling, or no..maybe he wasn't. But I was determined to not look back again.

"Guys guys guys!!!" One of the girls said. I don't remember her name, Sorry. But I am going to remember that she is the brave and gutsy woman who could wear a soft-lovely-short bodycon dress in this whether.
I am judging you but...I salute you girl!! All my respect to her!
I would probably not have been able to speak a sentence properly if I were at her place.

"Since we don't know each other that we'll...and that we're going to be spending so much good time here together. Let's play a game. What say???" She's too pretty and too enthusiastic , for any normal human being, to say no to.

And trust me, I didn't want to do this. This happened accidentally. I looked at Aditya, he smiled at her and then sat around the fireplace... almost right in front of me.

Abeer came near Dhara to sit. Aditya was too much into my vision for me to avoid looking at him.

"Cool....what game?" Rajat asked.

"Never have I ever! Uh-hn?" She answered.

"I'm in."

"Me too."

"Yeah..."

"We'll take a sip from our drinks if we have done the said thing. Okay?" And then she volunteered to start. "Never have I ever gone on a date just to make someone else jealous"
