Prince Khan

Chapter 21

Suhana led me out of Aryan's room and into the living room of this floor. "So this floor just has both of your rooms?" I asked. "Yeap" She said as she plopped down onto the sofa.

I took a seat next to her and looked away awkwardly. "So uhm you're in Mehek and Rehan's batch right?" I asked. She looked away and adjusted herself in her seat.

"Yeah" She answered softly. I got the impression thay she wasn't too thrilled about hearing their names. Honestly, I could never blame her. I react the same way each time.

"Not a fan of them huh" I asked. She looked at me concerned. Her cheeks turned red and I quickly explained myself. "Oh no no don't worry" I assured her.

"I know how my cousins are" I told her. "Especially Mehek" I added. I hesitated to continue but I knew I had to. "But Rehan isn't all that bad" I mumbled.

"Really?" She shifted closer to me. "Yeah" I told her. "It's just that it takes some time to get to know him" I explained.

"And then he can actually be really sweet" I almost threw up in my mouth as I said those words to her pure soul.

I've known Rehan for years and I know better than anyone that whatever I just said is utter bullshit but I didn't have a choice.

"Huh I just never thought he would be a person I could get along with" She explained. "Oh come on he's not that bad give him a chance" I tried to sound as genuine as I could.

"Mehek on the other hand a major pain" I told her. "She's my cousin but you should stay away from her" She nodded.

"By the way thank you for helping me get ready last night" I said. "Oh no problem" She said with a warm smile.

I had to keep the conversation going and find out more about her so I can complete my end of the deal.

"So what do you like to do?" I asked casually. "Uhm nothing much" I tried to push her to answer. "There has got to be something. How about fashion?"

She started to open up to me a little. "I love fashion and doing makeup" She told me. "Oh and I love football" She added.

"Oh Rehan likes football. He won't shut up about it" I said excitedly. I hoped she wasn't catching on how much I was mentioning Rehan. "Yeah I know" She mumbled.

My ears perked when she said that. "You do?" I asked. "Yea–yeah uh he is–the captain of the football team" She started to stutter a little.

Captain? Rehan? I just realised I honestly don't know anything about his life. I shoved those thoughts aside.

I didn't like what I was doing especially when I realised how innocently she was having this conversation with me.

"So you pay attention to him" I joked. I saw her cheeks turn red. Wait does she ACTUALLY like him? Or am I hallucinating?

"No I mean football captains are usually popular" Rehan? Popular? I had so many questions. "The school knows him" She told me and I could sense the hint of awkwardness.

"Plus I'm the captain of the girls football team so..." I nodded. "Uh huh got it" I laughed. "You know now it makes sense" She spoke up. "What does?" I asked her curiously.

"I always wonder how you were so sweet and your cousin was so you know" I chuckled. "I guess I was wrong about one of them" She said as she fiddled with her fingers nervously.

You're not wrong.

"Didn't know Aryan's little sister was into my little cousin so much" I joked. "Didn't know Rehan's big cousin was so into my big brother" She fired back with a grin.

"I–uh–wha–" She laughed at me as I tried to piece my sentence together. We turned our heads when the door to Aryan's bedroom swung open.

He stepped out with loose grey sweatpants and a tight white t-shirt. holy fuck. I couldn't help but stare while Aryan and Suhana got into their sibling banter.

"Alright I'm out you two kids behave" Suhana looked directly at me and Aryan looked between us in confusion. Once Suhana's room door shut behind her, Aryan turned to me.

"What did she mean by that?" He asked but I just waved him off. "Oh nothing girl talk" I told him. He shrugged it off thankfully and sat next to me.

"Sorry I made you wait" He quickly apologised. "So what do you wanna do?" He asked. "I don't know whatever you want I guess" I shrugged.

"Hmm what can we do" Aryan began to list out some things we could do. I tuned him out eventually and let my eyes shamelessly scan his entire body.

His hair was damp and a few water droplets were still managing to escape from his hair to drip down his long neck. I involuntarily licked my lips as my eyes fell to his tight t-shirt.

I heard Aryan say something to me and I replied. "Yeah sure" I finally snapped out of it when Aryan shifted in his seat and cleared his throat loudly.

"Yeah sure what?" He asked. "What?" I replied. "What what?" He said back. "Huh?" He broke into a laugh and I chuckled awkwardly. "You said yeah sure" I nodded.

"And what exactly were you replying to?" He asked. "Uhm the question you asked me" It was a shot in the dark. I had literally no idea what he asked or said.

Actually at that point, I doubted he even said anything to me. "Do you know what I asked you?" He asked. "Of course" I tried to sound as confident as I could. "Really?" No.

"Yeah really" He smirked. "Okay then let's do it" He said. "Do what?" I asked. "The question I asked you" I nodded. "You said yeah sure so let's do it" He told me.

"Right now?" I looked around trying to figure what he could've possibly said. "Is this the right place?" I tried to ask questions that could help me figure out.

"Yeah why not or we could go into my room" He said. "The room?" I asked. "Yeah more comfortable" what the fuck did he ask me?

"Plus no one would walk in on us having sex" "WHAT?!" I shouted in his face.
