Just feel it

Chapter 3

“Hey babe” I launched myself on the bed laying on my stomach I adjusted the laptop so that I get a perfect angle.

“Whoa…why slow’hey babe’? , for God’s sake you are in Canada” came the reply from my best friend Aishu in her usual shrill voice. I sighed.

“okay?”

“I met the biggest jerk on planet here in Canada and guess what? I’m going to share the same roof with him for a whole year” I exasperated.

“Wow, Guy problem on your first day in Canada” she giggled.” You are on fire babe” she gave me an appreciative look.

“Shut up, okay?” I replied irritated. She just laughed which irritated me.

“Before talking about my so called Guy problem, why don’t you look into yours first, huh?” I retorted.

“Oh, you are talking about me and Hari? Don’t worry angel we both fixed our misunderstanding yesterday and had amazing sex last night” she winked. For which I groaned.

“I shouldn’t have called you in the first place, I’m hanging up” I pretended to disconnect the call but stopped when she shouted noooooo.

“Don’t you dare hang up on me” she said making me smile.

“Now tell me about this ‘biggest jerk’ ” she asked and before I start Hari’s face came into the view.

“Hey R” he waved his hand and kissed Aishu’s cheek simultaneously.

“Thanks to you we both made up” he said still standing behind her.

“Thanks to me?” I asked completely surprised.

“Yep, as soon as you boarded your flight she called me wailing over how you are a selfish bitch to ditch her here in India and go to Canada without even having a second though about how she will survive here alone and blah blah blah and then I  seized the opportunity to give her the moral support she needed and ended up….together”

“Having sex” both finished in the same time and Aishu laughed how embarrassed Hari looked. They are both adorable.

“Ewww Aishu, stop talking about your sex life to me and I too miss you babe” I blew a kiss to the screen to which she pretended to catch it.

“So, who is this biggest jerk?” Hari asked and I explained everything that happened.

“Wow, so what you are saying is that you saw a naked dude who made you horny and he is not only hot but also an arrogant and self obsessed jerk, is that right?” Aishu summarized in a single line for which I nodded and then something hit me.

“Hey, I was not horny” I protested but she gave me a look that said ‘Don’t you dare lie to me you bitch’ and I just gave in because I know she would not believe if I said that is not true.

“Is that door locked right now?” Hari asked making me twist my head to the door that connect both our rooms.

“I got to go, see you and Love you baby, Bye” I disconnected the call and jumped down the bed to rush to the door. First I planned to twist the door knob to check whether it is locked or not but then I did something I never thought I would be doing, I squatted in front of the door and kept my ear close to the door and listened closely.

No noise.

That means either he is not done with his dinner (Yes, I left him all alone to have his dinner and also to do the dishes) or he is asleep or this wall does not penetrate sound. I’m dying to know the reason behind this silence but there is only one way to know and that thing is which I completely loathe.

I stood up straight and brought both my hands to my hips and screamed and screamed and screamed for like 30 secs when the door flung open revealing Eric in all his glory with an expression that is totally alert.

“What? Why did you scream like that?” he searched the full room and finally settled his eyes on my face and then it was there on his face, the realization that nothing indeed happened here.

“What the hell?” he threw his hands in irritation and I laughed. Yes then and there I laughed because his expression is comical.

“Enough” he ordered demanding my silence which he had but only after 23 secs.

“What was that? He asked once the room is filled with silence.

“I just wanted to check whether this door is locked or not and also this room wall is sound transparent or not” I replied.

“Why? What were you doing here?” he asked with a smirk.

God, I badly want to smack his smirk right now.

“Just checking my safety” I folded my arms near my chest and this time he laughed.

“Come on, don’t tell me you thought I would take advantage of YOU” that stress on the word you actually stung a bit but I let that go.

“Ahaha” I nodded.

“Don’t kid yourself Honey, if anyone has to be thinking of their safety it must be me” he said leaning against the wall and to be honest he looked good. I rolled my eyes.

“It was not me who did not lock the door which YOU obviously knew would lead to a room where a lady is staying” I said.

“And it was not me who barged into a room which YOU obviously knew would lead into a room where a man is staying who might be naked” he shrugged and his smirk widened.

“Hey, I didn’t know this door would lead to your room” I pointed my finger at him.

“or maybe you know” he pinched the tip of the finger I’m pointing at him.

“Oh God, Eric” I said completely not believing how self obsessed he is. His face changed one shade of deep pink.

“Look..” I started but he cut me off.

“Listen, I do not have any intention of taking advantage of you and my Mom told me to behave. So don’t worry, you are safe with me” he sounded sincere and again like a fool I wanted to believe him.

“What?” he asked when there is no response from my side.

“Oh, you are done?. I’m waiting for you to burst the bubble or throw some snide comment or even an insult towards me along with your arrogant smirk” I told him but he just laughed a real laugh and this time the moment was not spoiled.

“Good night” he wished and turned to walk to his room.

“Wait, what about the door?” I asked. He raised one eyebrow.

“How to lock this door from my room?” I answered his unasked question and there it was his smirk.

“Oh, don’t worry about that dear, it can be locked only from my room. They did not fix a latch in Arya’s room” I gaped at him completely shocked by this revelation.

“And one more thing, next time if you want to either talk about my hotness or my nude body make sure you do it silently because these walls are thinner than you think”

“Good night, Diosa” he closed my opened jaw with his finger and left the room giving me a wink.
