Lockdown

Con call

PARI POV

" SUHA!!" I screamed on the call in anger while changing my shirt. That man. He ruined my favorite shirt!!!
" Woah. Chill. What happened?"
" I don't know. Some weird guy came over and threw champagne over me while calling your name! YOU DEAL WITH THAT WEIRDO! Besides, he's still standing outside, I think,"
" What?" I was so scared that he was some kind of creep as I looked out of the doorknob but all she was worried about was laughing. I wasn't lying!
" Wait a second. Bhai is calling me-"
" You and your bhai! I'm in dire need of help here!"
" Accha. Ok. Chill, just let me get this call and we'll continue," I'm serious I wanted to shout into her ears so damn hard! But no. That girl is also smart. Why?! Because she just cut the call over my face!! How dare she! You know... I a stranger after years and this is what I get?! I hate people! Ugh. Why did I even need to stand at the door like a spy?!

" You said that you lived here alone! I came here thinking that you would be here! Suha. And have you looked at that girl?! How can you be sharing your house?!" And now, he was even shouting at someone outside... Hmm... This. This was somewhat like a book I read somewhere. God, so... So, weird. Why the hell did he have to come here and why the hell was he looking at my house's door with that look?!
" Yeah. I don't think I have any other options anymore. Talk to her," and why did he sound irritated. Wait. Why the fuck was I keeping an ear on the door to listen to his conversation!?!

Well. At least I was grateful that Suha decided to call back because that man was making me nervous. I mean, I was just a few moments away from calling the cops on him.

" You have to take him in," but when those were the first words that left her mouth, I seriously took back everything I ever found grateful about her call to me.
" WHAT??! NO! I'M NOT TAKING THAT CREEPY OLD MAN IN. FIRST OF, I don't know him and secondly, he threw some kind of juice at me! Not happening. Ask him to Oyo,"
" Arre... It's just a misunderstanding. Pari. He just thought that you were me... Bhai only wanted to surprise me-"
" Wait..." Bhai? As in the brother she had been talking and blabbering about for the past... Whatever time that she had stayed with me. As in like the rich youngest CEO dude... Well. I gulped when I realized that. Was my fairy tale coming true?
" Your bhai,"
" Yeah. My bhai, Sohit. Why?" Why? Because I had kinda been stalking him online. Although, he never posted his own pictures online. But still... How could I not notice? I mean, I kinda had a small crush on her old dude after hearing so much about him...
" Nothing," but, like a mature girl who knows how to use clippers and vibrators very well, I didn't need a man. So, I shook my head and focused back to my happy bubble. My dream of never having to meet anyone had finally come true! Why would I want him around?!
" Pari. Please! He'll pay rent too. I don't think I can find him any other place to stay at and you as it is need the rent. Oyo is closed too and all the travel modes have been closed too," I don't know why but I felt like looking at that old dude now. So, I just did it. I kept a hand on the back of my neck and peeped back through the door hole only to find him chatting over his phone with someone.
" In fact you know what, he'll pay you three times the normal rent. Just let him stay there till the lockdown ends," I raised an eyebrow at that. Three times the rent? Oohk. I knew that he was loaded but... The deal wasn't half bad. I mean, I could live off one rent that Suha paid for 3 months. If 3 times the rent came in na.... Hehehe. My evil brain began working at that point...
" You know what? You only talk to him!"
" Hey no! SUHANI!"

" Hello?" I don't know what that girl's issue is. Like, at all because she just put her brother on a con call with me. I mean, is she dumb?! I don't even pick up calls from a strange number that I don't know anything about and here she is, asking me to talk to her hot brother who had angered me. I mean... Who was going to do that. Right? I just cut the call on spot. I have no interest in doing Samajseva for rich people. At all.

But then I thought... Was this my only chance at having a guy in my life who was not my father or my brother? Yes. Yes. My inner voice told me yes. And then I batted my eyelashes for a longer time as I pondered over it before I finally decided. Fine. I'd open the door.

So, I opened it but he was not standing in front of me. He was on his phone, shouting at someone and walking away with all his luggage and that champagne glass. I felt bad now... So, like a dumb person, I sighed and called to him.

" Excuse me?" And his stopped. Slowly, as he turned around with his raised eyebrows, I was able to see him clearly and God did he look better than he did in the pictures... I mean, that jawline, those eyes, that perfectly cut hair and gosh those dreamy lips. I was melting. Why did I none of that when he first rang the bell?! Right. Because he shoved a champagne bottle on me. No worries, at least I saw it now. And I know, I would love to never see him but I guess he is my only hope at really losing my virginity to a dick and not be stuck on clippers for the rest of my life...
