The Masquerade

Chapter 27

Adiva's POV

These three days,that apprears to be a whole new life lived altogeather,far far away from the monotonous routines.

We came close,very close,the distance between us reduced and yet it feels distant,like something doesnot wants to change,without denying it to myself,I have fallen for Kevin.I finally admit.

Filled with colours and glorious moments that just slipped off,in his proximity,oh fucking lord,I just cant get better of him.

Its when Derby nudges me softly,I realise I have been awake for long and lost into my thoughts.

I look around to the familiar setting of my room and a small smile plays on my lips.I decide to give Kevin a wake up call.

And the day begins yet again,classes and classes,asignments on pending assignments of this week,I feel half inside earth already under this burden of assignment.

As I see the sight of Kevin approaching me with a wicked smile playing on his lips,it makes my day all again and I m cheered up.

His strong scent fills my lungs and I jump enthusiastically to hug him,my head bumps at his shoulder,catching him offguard.There is a lot of words piling up inside me waiting to be said yet there is a beauty in the unsaid words and the mutual feelings being reciprocated.

His eyes have an all new dark tone,he takes me hand and pulls me all along the corridor to the locker room into an empty corner.

I look into his eyes darker yet softer,my heart feels like it ll explode any moment ,"I have missed you being this close to me."his tone too serious.

The faint noise of door handle clinging reaches my ear and both of us maintain our distance.

"We have a lecture to take,laters baby"I say with a flirty smile playing at my face.

"Evening is all ours"he winks.

As the days wraps up,I feel exhausted and the hangover hasnt yet lasted,not the usual puffs and drags but its the new trip's hangover.

I walk along with Derby to the room to find Mike.

I m dumbstruck at the sight of him,not having expecting him is secondary but my internal cheat is mockingly laughing at me for the neglect and being an asshole to him.

The realisation dawns upon me,that how unjustifically I have been avoiding his call and all about the trip.Its those numerous seconda that i get while he is coming towards me,I mentally began to prepare answers to his questions and to my missconduct.

Then I recall I have an accusation to rub at his face,the one incidence Chris told me about.

Derby bids me luck with him secretly and turns back on her feet,leaving me all alone.

"Where had you been the entire weekend?"his dark eyes and serious expression scare me.

"Why do you care?"I mutter and look away.

"Had you been out enjoying the weekend with that jack ass again?"

"None of business,until you care less about informing your where abouts"

I am arguing literally,I am fighting to keep my statement and my conduct justified.

"Adi,for god sake,stop acting like a whore,have you forgetten our times togeather,how can you even think of me cheating on you?"His tone sends chills through my entire body.

"Why cant yku just open your eyes and see that asshole is cheating on you,he is a bloody rascal,skilled with flirting and mind games,I dont fucking understandwhat drives you to him,I was assured until now that you were tge rarest breed of girls susceptible to such flattery" he puffs
