LIES

41.BEYOND ITS USAGE

                                 Day 4:
Neil's sleep was broken for a while now, still not wanting to get up from the bed, lying and acting like he didn't hear her for the past 30 Mins ago when she told him to wake up, but this time  he can't escape,  as she was standing very close to him, as her voice is coming, nor that Neil opened his eyes, but seems like it's the time, he can't act and be lazy anymore

"Neil, this is the last time I am calling you to wake up. If you don't get up  then," said aarohi, frustrated over something or as Neil thought maybe on him
"I am up, I am up, but what if I didn't then? " asked Neil while rubbing his eyes
"I am not in the mood of playing anything right, I woke you up half an hour ago,  before going to take bath," said aarohi looking into the large mirror settled in the corner as she was sitting on the chair in front of that
"You took a bath without me, last night we decided na, we will give our jacuzzi a try," said Neil while getting up, but end up sitting on the edge of the bed, where he can see her back but also her front as she was in front of a mirror (this is why he kept insisting on getting this mirror), what a lovely sight to woke up
"No, we didn't,  you decided,  I just nodded because I was sleepy, and you weren't letting it go," said aarohi while applying make-up
"Yeah, whatever,  you nodded. That means that was a yes," said Neil with a pout on his face, aarohi saw that in the mirror
"You still didn't get up from the bed, how lazy you are, and here I am covering the marks you gave to my whole neck," said aarohi with a frown, as Neil didn't notice this earlier, courtesy to his sleepy eyes, but as he notices, aarohi is wearing an off-shoulder crop top, pair with a skirt, but what interesting part is,  her whole neck from behind and side, is covered in faint red bruises and one and two are purple in shade, guess he forgot in that moment of passion how easily she used to get a bruise,  a small blush come to his face thinking about those moments.
"First of all you are not the only one who has marks on the neck," said Neil showing her his neck in the mirror as he gets up from the bed and came near the mirror, aarohi saw them, he is also marked, she also smiled at the memory, of course, Neil saw that in the mirror
"Well, why don't you put that hideous hoodie of yours? These all will be covered," said Neil with a wink as he went near the balcony door
"That hoodie will not go with my outfit,  and besides,  I don't need to wear a hoodie today, we are going far away, so move now, we going to be late," said Aarohi working on covering her marks
"Where are we going, so we have to move fast," asked Neil  while taking out the cigarette and putting it in his mouth
"You remember my lawyer friend, well he messaged Mr in the morning,  he can meet us in the outskirts of Udaipur,  so long drive, "said aarohi in her normal voice of hers, but to Neil, it isn't that normal,  he doesn't like the sound of meeting her friend in the outskirts of Udaipur, something is fishy or it is just Neil isn't a fan of this male friend of hers.
"Do we need to meet him like today? Why can't you just give him papers at some other time, like when you were supposed to be in Udaipur?" said Neil lazily as he smoked, standing on the balcony
"Yes we have to meet him today, we can't Stay in this apartment illegally anymore,  since it's not officially ours yet, for that we have to go," said aarohi now almost finished with her makeup and hair, Neil scoff at that, looking at her from afar, Neil noticed she cleaned up well, and looking good, is it because she was going to meet her friend,  Neil couldn't help himself but wonder, what kind of friend he is, isn't what Neil is to aarohi right now a friend,  what if they were good friends and Neil  is kinda don't know if she also has this blurred friendship with him, he can't exactly ask her that, could make her angry, just like that overthinker Neil lit up another cigarette, and lost in his thoughts
"Neil, you still not listening to me, go get ready, you have been in here for so long already," said aarohi coming near Neil,  she saw he is been smoking,  isn't he just finished one or two while talking to her, and the first thing he did in the morning is lit up the cigarette,  she wanted to question him about this, but aarohi suddenly recalls how he reacted the first she just mentioned it jokingly,  she doesn't want to spoil his mood, but deep down she is worried about him.
"I heard you in the first time, will go after finishing this," said Neil, who is on his third cigarette, and still didn't make a move.
"Ok then let me help you finish," said aarohi while forwarding her hand (if he doesn't want me to stop him, then I won't but he doesn't say about cutting it in half).
