Our Girl

32

Jasmine

The original plan was for Leo to take me to London tomorrow but then Michael and Alex decided to come too and now I'm trying to explain to my brothers as to why 3 26-27 year olds are coming there.

"Are they staying for dinner?" Ranveer asked.

"If they want"

"Do they have girlfriends?"

Yes. Me.

"No"

"kya ve samalaingik hain?" Abhi whispered. (are they gay?)

"What?? No. Oh my gosh."

"Why don't they have girlfriends?"

"I don't think that's a question you should be asking me, can they come or not?"

"Let us speak to them" Arjun demanded.

I groaned and turned around to the guys who were all doing their own thing. I was at their house, in the kitchen, because I was bored and Priya was in Wales again. I feel really out of place everytime I'm here because this is a literal mansion, in the middle of nowhere. This is the type of place vampires from horror movies. I really need a tour.

"They want to speak to you" I put my phone on speaker and placed it in the middle of the kitchen island.

"Hello" Alex greeted first

"Sata srī akāla. aap hamaaree bahan ke saath kya chaahate hain?" Abhi asked, making me drag my hands down my face. (hello. What do you want with our sister?)

"Speak English. ve hindi nahin samajhate" (they don't understand Hindi)

"kameenon. What do you want with our sister?" (Bastards)

"We don't want anything. We're just friends" Michael lied.

"Hmm you better be. You guys can come-" I sat up with a smile "-but you're sleeping in a hotel and then in the day you can do whatever you want or go wherever you want in the day. samajhana?" Arjun explained. (understand?)

I can't wait until I get my own apartment. They act like I'm still 14.

"We understand" Alex replied.

"achchha. theek hai Jasmine, ab ham ja rahe hain. jald hee phir milenge! Bye" (good. okay Jasmine, we're going to go now. see you soon!)

"Bye!"

I took my phone back. "I'm so sorry guys. I know it's annoying and it'll all stop once I get my own apartment -Raba dī ichā- and I-" (God willing)

"Babe! It's okay. It's understandable. They care about you and want you to be safe. It's totally cool" Michael interrupted.

I nodded my head "I'm still sorry but it's whatever. Let's do something"

"Like what?"

I shrugged "I don't know. Let's drive around town. I feel like I haven't seen Edinburgh enough"

You idiot! You should've asked for a tour of the house?!

"You better get your shoes on then" Alex said, getting up as he closed his laptop.

"YAY!"

. . .

"Do you guys think soulmates exist?" I broke the silence while I rested my head on Alex's shoulder as we drove to London. We had taken an incredibly fancy range rover with beige interiors and it was so cool. It had an umbrella holder in the door.
