I watch as sidharth's figure slowly enters the car as I stand stunned at what just happened.
As the car drives away I shut my front door and look down at what I'm wearing. Shit.
I'm wearing Levi's old top and some booty shorts you can't even see....how embarrassing. Why does he do this to me? Why does he make me feel this way?
I nearly wanted to say 'Fuck it I forgive you' as soon as I saw him standing on my doorstep looking that fine and although the flowers were a nice gesture, I couldn't bring myself to forgive him.
No matter how sexy he looked.
I take a deep breath. "Let's get ready for today" I mumble.
I walk into the small cafe I usually go too, this time deciding I'm going to sit and eat here while enjoying the lovely morning.
It's currently 9:15am, I don't usually wake up this early on weekends but I had to because of an handsome man knocking on my door.
I managed to have a quick shower, put some product in my hair so it doesn't go frizzy, putting on a Pink shirt and blue denim skirt with some white heels.

I order my food and sit down at a table for two, alone, in the corner by the bookshelf where I got a mystery, romance that grabbed my attention off the shelf.
I heard voices, people exiting and entering in the background but my main focus was on the book as I took in every word and the story line. Finally relaxing from all outside struggles.
"Fountain of love. Good story"
I heard from next to me and I look away from my book to see a beautiful woman with soft, silky black hair and grey eyes.
"Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm shehnaaz" I introduce myself and she smiles, how can one be so perfect?
"I'm mahi, nice to meet you" she replies and I nod.
"Here's your food" a waitress interrupts, placing my food and drink down. I smirk and thank her as I look at mahi. "If you're not busy....you can sit down" I offer and her smile grows. "That would be nice, I mean, if I'm not interrupting" she adds and I shake my head.
"No it's fine, I wasn't expecting anyone anyway"
"Okay, let me go quickly order and I'll be right back" she says, walking to the counter. I place my book back on the shelf and bring my iced coffee with an extra shot closer to me as well as my croissant.
I'm doing a good thing, mahi seems nice and I need to put myself out there more and I need more friends.
"Okay I'm back" she says all giddy, sitting back down and I laugh at her energy. "Before we start I really just wanted to say you're gorgeous" she compliments and I smile.
"Thank you, You're absence gorgeous!" So tell me a little about you?" I shrug, taking a sip of my drink. She thinks for a moment.
"I don't know, I have two older brothers, a boyfriend and I have an eye for interior design" she says
"Are one of your brothers names Sidharth?" I joke and she looks taken back.
"How'd you know?" She asks warily, okay what the hell? I didn't saw this coming
"He's the dick who came into my Office and left me on the side of the road. I noticed the resemblance in you two" I said and her jaw drops but soon she bursts out laughing.
"You're her! No wonder he has a thing for you, My brothers an asshole but I think you two would make cute babies" she says assessing me and my eyes go wide and I nearly choke on my drink.
"Sorry, didn't mean to just throw that out there. I hope you can get to know me and like me despite my brother" she shrugs.
"I'll try" I joke and as I say that the waitress brings her food over.
"Thank you" mahi smiles at the woman as she leaves. "So, what about you? Tell me something"mahi asks.
"Well I'm a wedding planner, don't have many friends and I have no siblings. I don't have the most interesting life" I shrug, taking a bite of my croissant.
"There's bound to be more to you, everything your saying is on the surface. What about hobbies? Interests? Relationships?" She says, to be honest I've never really thought about it. I know I have a boring life but now that she says it I realise how boring it is. I don't really think about anything but work.
"To be honest I'm a workaholic. I guess I am just that boring" I shrug.
"Well, we need to change that. I'll give you my number and we're definitely hanging out. I'm surrounded by men most of the time and they're driving me crazy" she says and I nod in agreement to hanging out.
"Definitely"
"Good cause I wasn't really giving you a choice" she shrugs and I laugh. quite fiesty.
2 hours had passed as we laughed, talked and ate. I honestly haven't gotten along with someone so well since rishi. She's hilarious.
No technology, no texting or calls for two hours even though we both got our fair share of calls to the point where we turned our phones off and enjoyed each other's company.
"We definitely need to hang out more often" mahi says and I nod.
"Yep, you've got my number so call whenever" I reply and she nods. As she opened her mouth to speak I felt the atmosphere in the room change as the stores bell rings indicating someone had entered and I look over to see who and I see a muscular, man who was very....very intimidating.
"Oh shit" I hear mahi whisper and I immediately knew she knew him.
The man looked around and made eye contact with us, people looked in fear as he stormed over. This is where we die.
"why didn't you answer the phone?!" He growls at her.
"I'm with my friend!" She yells back, grabbing her phone and purse. I try to ignore them, not wanting to get involved but it was a little hard.
"Sidharth almost sent one search team for you" he says and she rolls her eyes. I heard him say, sidharth seems protective but it's weird
"he's dramatic just like you!" She says and he clicks his tongue back down. She looks at me, "I'm so sorry, I have to go" I look between them and give her a smile,
"That's fine, you go. You've got my number"
The man gives me a small nod and walks away with his hand on her lower back as they exit the store.
