Destined To Be

Chapter 13

This bar is one of the best bars I've ever been to. It is quaint yet hip. Around twelve round tables scattered around, the bar along the side wall of the entrance and a bright lit up stage right in the front. The lighting in the bar is dim. There is big screen on the wall behind the stage, displaying the words to the songs being played. The small crowd, which I think are all college students, hoot as men and women both sing their hearts out not having a care in the world about how bad they actually sound.

Zayn joined us like half an hour ago and it's already ten. And it's a good thing that this bar closes at five in the morning.

We've already had a few too many drinks and it feels like there is not a single worry to be stressed about. The world is at peace and so am I.

I don't care about Aditi and Damon. If she wants to be with him... Hell let her! I'm happy with Kayla and I'm only waiting for us to leave so that I can bang her good.

She's got a banging body. And she seems like a genuinely nice person. In the past hour I came to know that she's a science student and wants to become a pediatrician. She's come to Goa with her group of friends for a week as her mid terms just got over. She recently broke up with her boyfriend and is not looking for anything serious.

And that's perfect for me. Cause nor am I.

"Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover"

Doniya and Aditya sing the chorus, as they look at each other with a silly little smile on their faces. The small crowd cheers and so do we.

The song comes to an end and the both put their mics back on the mic stand and walk hand-in-hand, back to our table.

"Come on Zayn! Go up and sing!" Doniya bangs her fists on the round table as she and Aditya both sit down.

"Zayn!"

"Zayn!"

"Zayn!"

All of us on the table bang our fists on the table making Zayn go all flustered. He has never liked attention, even if it's from his friends.

"Come on, mate!" I shove his shoulder and he chuckles while shaking his head.

"Why don't you do your new single?!" Aditi encourages him, "It'll be like your first live performance of the song." she says excitedly.

The banging continues till he raises his hands up, "It's a duet!" he says, "Aditi will have to join me." Zayn says with a smirk.

Aditi shakes her head with a laugh, "There's no way I'm singing."

"Well then, I'm only gonna sing if Aditi sings." Zayn says with a huge smile as he sits back in his chair with his arms crossed.

"Urgh, you both are a bore!" Doniya sticks her tongue out making us all chuckle.

"Harry, why don't you sing?" Doniya says and then everyone turns to look at me.

"Sure." I stand up immediately, without hesitation.

If it's singing, I'm ever ready.

I turn to look beside me, Kayla looks up at me with a smile, "Would you like to join me, sweetheart?" I take her hand and kiss the back of it.

She blushes, "I'm not sure." she sinks back into her chair.

"Go with the flow, love. Have this adventure with me." I insist on purpose, carefully framing my words, only to add to the fire of envy that Aditi is burning in.
