Lockdown

Pretty

SOHIT POV

Her attitude changed.

Ever since I let her cry that night on my shoulder, her attitude completely changed. Now, rather than shouting at me, she helped me in cooking and rather than acting like a boss, she was coming around like a good friend. I liked the change to be honest.

But that one day, she seemed to be in a hurry. In fact, she even cleaned up her bed and told me
" I have an important meeting today. From 5 pm. Just don't be lurking around in this room. Please,"
" What is this meeting?"
" A school reunion," was what she answered while changing the sheets of her bed after what seemed like ages. But honestly, see her scurry around with cleaning the entire house just for one dammed school reunion was another show altogether. I mean, the way her hair troubled her by getting into her eyes and blowing all around when the fan was one was really fun. How she constantly kept that one stand of her flicks at the back of her ear even though it constantly fell off was fun in itself. It was the first time in a week that I saw her get so worked up about something but it really did seem very important. So, I decided to help her. Why? Because she seemed to need it and I was as it is free. I didn't have any meetings and since Kartik had told me that he would handle it for the time being, I trusted him.

But then, right after we ate lunch, she ran back into her room and didn't come out till like 1 hour. I didn't know what she was doing but out of pure worry, I opened the door. I should not have! Why?!

She was naked.

No kidding.

She was naked with only a wet towel wrapped around her body... Basically, she had been taking a shower for the past 1 hour and now I was staring at her pretty body.
" Pari... Uh........."
" AAA!!! LOOK AWAY!" same reaction. But this time I was at least able to get a clear view of those... Those two big babies. I don't get how she got gifted with those two considering her height issue but, well... She has them and I can't deny my inner man anymore. She has what I need.

This time too, due threw a pillow at me but before it could touch me, I just turned around and walked out of the room with a clear picture in my mind. Yes. That back there, I consider it a very good moment. I'm being shameless here but I really would have loved to stare longer or even hold them just to be sure... But a dream lasts as long as we can make it work. Right? Right.

Because when I knocked on the door after an hour and got it when I heard her hmm, she didn't even seem to be thinking about me. Instead, she was sitting in front of her mirror and doing... Wait for it... MAKEUP!
Like she wasn't already pretty as it is, that girl really did know how to wear her makeup

" Pari I-"
" No. Wait. I'm really in a hurry right now! I still have to do my hair and decide on the dress... Let's just talk about that later!" Geez. I just wanted to say sorry and get it over it. But no. She wanted to continue it but later! I don't get this girl at all.

And just when I thought that I would busy myself in work as I sat in the living room, she threw a cloth over my face.
" This one or that?" And she was holding a party dress in her hands. A silver one and the one she threw over my head was red. But was she asking me for help with clothes? Was one reunion that important?!?

I don't get her but she seriously was asking me what looked better and although personally, I'd have her wear something covering, that silver dress was much more covering than the red one. So...
" That one looks better,"
" You sure?"
" Yeah. But why are you even getting so worked up. It's just a reunion zoom meeting,"
" If I don't go or dress up this time around, they'd think that I am either dead or that I have downsized myself. Besides, it's just for one night... Who cares," dead? Why would her friends think that she was dead?!
What. Did she not contact any of them or talk to them?... Uh... I don't think I remember her talking to a friend in the past 7 days though. I mean, she has talked and shouted at her mother. She has screamed at her sister to and even talked to her father. Wait... She hasn't even been talking with her brother all this time! Aren't they supposed to be twins!? What the fuck is up with that girl?!??

It's like, she's a mystery at this point.

Because she has been sitting right besides me in the living room with her laptop on and keeps smiling this weird, creepy smile. I really don't get her. Maybe her friends think that she is rich... I don't know why she has to go through all that just to get ready for one phone call though. What was so special about it? Was her crush in the con call!?

" Hey, guys,"
" Oh ho. Papa ki Pari finally decided to show her face to everyone," but when the call started and I got up just to go into her room, I heard that. Maybe it was an inside joke? But I turned to look at her and that weirdly creepy smile that she had was slowly fading away. It was so clear that she didn't want to be on that call.
" What? Papa still pays for those diamonds in your ears or something?"
" Or did you finally decide that you were getting over your depressed phase and began writing again?" Writing? Did she... Write?
" No. I got a proper job and now I pay for my stuff,"
