"Here, are we done?", I handover the last remaining stuff to be packed to Mansi as we clear out our room in the morning.

Yesterday we were so tired that we didn't realise our belongings were scattered across the room. Since we have woken up we were busy packing everything.

"Yes now I'll take a shower and be back in a jiffy", Mansi tells me.

"Okay, I'll check upon the boys"

I knock their room and Rushi opens the door.

"Good morning!", I say enthusiastically knowing how much that irritates him.

"Ugh! Go away yaar why are you here", Rushi says and comfortably rests his arm around my shoulders leaning on me.

He walks me inside and I say, "You're contradicting your own words Rushi! Decide if you want me here or not"

"I do want you to be here but I won't admit it to you!", Rushi says laughing at his own idiocy.

"Hey, Good morning!", Vishal greets as he emerges from the bathroom. He walks towards us and gives me a quick hug along with a forehead kiss.

"You haven't showered yet!", I tell him after we break the hug.

"As if you have!", He rolls his eyes at me.

"I am going to, but I can't say that about you!", I retort.

"Advikaaa....", Adnan whines, still sleeping on the bed on his stomach.

I hop on the bed beside him and pull out the pillow under his head.

"What?", I ask him while Rushi continues with his morning routine.

"Can we not go pleaseeeee? Let's stay for 2 more days!?", He pleads and Vishal gives him a head slap to wake him up

"We are not on regular trip to extend the days, now get up!", saying so Vishal pulls out the blanket from over Adnan.

Adnan crawls up to me on the side of the bed to rest his head on my lap with the pillow. He turns around sleeping on his back.

Vishal looks at him with a 'what are you even doing?' kind of expression while Adnan sticks his tongue out at him. Their silent conversation through various antics go on and finally I decide to butt in

"Oh guys stop! Come on Addy boy get up you have to drive the whole way back!", I say pushing him up.

"Yaar Advika let me enjoy this moments of your comfort and Vishal's 'get away from my girl face'", Adnan says and I burst out laughing.

"Whats wrong with you?", I say to Adnan in between my laughs.

"Nothing is wrong with me! I am just single and teasing them two!", He whispers to me and we both laugh together.

Wait! Teasing them two? Isn't Rushi single too?

"Wait- what?", I stop Adnan and he looks at me confused.

Vishal who was packing his stuff looks over to us.

"What?", He asks

"Adnan said he is single and teasing you two? What does this mean?", I looked at both of them as Rushi was in the bathroom.

"He meant teasing us two, you and me!", Vishal says and looks at Adnan.

Adnan quickly gives his confirmation agreeing with Vishal.

"Fine whatever now get ready quick! Vishal aunty had called in the morning. She said to be back before night", I tell and get going from their room.

In the next hour, we all were ready to get back on road. Vishal took to driving as we stuffed most of the luggage in my car as it was empty behind.
