All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 14 -Kaira-

"Welcome homeeee, darling." Aisha said, saying darling with an accent to make it stand out, and yes, to tease me too.

"Okay, stop it." I said.

"Come see all my lovely books." She said, dragging me to her room where she had them all laid out.

"Why?" I asked.

"What, why? Because I like to see them." Aisha answered.

"No, why did he buy you books?" I asked, sitting beside her.

"Oh, my sweet, innocent fairy godmother. People, other than you, are allowed to buy me good stuff." She said, pinching my cheeks, but I sawtted her hands away and started tickling her.

"Tell me why?" I asked while still ticking her mercilessly.

"For me to help him to court you." She replied, still laughing.

"Come on, Kaira, according to me, he is the best you can get. Don't let him go." Aisha said and went back to admiring her books.

I went back to my room thinking about her not so helpful advice. Do they think I am blind or what? I am very capable of seeing, and right now, I am seeing all the signs of a potential heartbreak.

I know Ishaan is trying to court me, and let's say I said yes to him and everything, but what if it turns out to lie the last time? What if he leaves or worst, betrays me. I like to think that I have already had my fair share of lies and betryals for my whole life.

I washed my face and changed into comfy clothes. It had started thundering outside, well it was informed beforehand so we were well prepared.

"Why the third plate?" I asked, sitting down at the table. Avni was going to be at Aman's today.

"Someone is coming." She said with a smirk. It is Ishaan. It has to be Ishaan. Her smirks speak for themselves now a days.

"Not again." I said, putting my head on the table with a thud.

"What's wrong?" Aisha asked, being all innocent, and I gave her a death glare.

"He will again start with his lame jokes and pick up lines. I can't tolerate them." I said, making a fake crying noise.

"And now I am being dramatic." I said, sitting up staright.

The doorbell rang, and Aisha let him in. He was in casuals. I have seen him in suits only because we only met for office works, but casual is his style, a shirt with a jacket. He totally rocks it.

"Ms. Bhardwaj, are you checking me out?" He asked cocking his eyebrow.

"As if the men of the world has evaporated suddenly." I said, rolling my eyes, but I also know, I was checking him out. He came beside me.

"Don't worry baby, I am all yours." He said near my ear, and I cleared my throat. He sat down beside me, and Aisha opposite of us.

Ishaan's phone rang, and a frown formed between his eyebrows.

"Okay, here's the thing. Next time, Alina Parker eneters any premises under me, you are going to handle her." He said and cut the call.

"What happened? And who is Alina Parker?" Aisha asked, chewing on her spaghetti.

"She is the woman who confesses her love to me today, and she is getting married in a week." Ishaan spoke, his mouth forming a tight, unpleasant smile.

"Woahh... you got admirers." Aisha saod chuckling.

"Of course, I am so hot, dashing Indian munda. Of course, girls are behind me. Good for me, I only have eyes for one woman ." He said, glancing at me, but I didn't look up at me.

"Got it, mister." Aisha said, chucking.

I had this little jealousy moment when he mentioned that some cake faced bitch confessed her love to him. Does that I mean I have started to like Ishaan too? Nope.

Throw that thought out of the window, Kaira. We don't need that now, do we? I shook my head and focused on eating.

Ishaan and Aisha were talking nonstop chatting about books, and it has been an hour. I got up to go to change into my gym outfit. I know many people go to the gym early in the morning, but not me. I go at night, come back all seeaty and tired, shower and boom, instant sleep.

"Kaira, Ishaan has something to say to you." Aisha said and pinched Ishaan.

"Kaira, I was wondering will you accompany me to this auction cum gala on Friday? Please don't say no, pleaseeee." He pleaded.

It was a sigh to behold, Ishaan on both knees pleading me. My mind ran into dirty territory before I came back to my senses.

"What? Noo." I said and dashed to my room before he could say anything.

I could hear Ishaan and Aisha talking faintly. I quickly got changed and went straight out of the front door without even glancing at the trouble duo.

If he doesn't ask again, he is not the one. I proceeded to the gym on the top floor of our building and entered in.

I saw behind me, no one. A little disappointment settled into me, but I satrted doing my routine.

After some time, the door flew open, and Ishaan entered panting.

"Are you a bullet train? I was screaming your name, but you wouldn't slow down. Stroming out of apartment like that." He said huffing. He looked so cute that I just wanted to pinch his cheeks and make them pink.

Woah there, control your thoughts, will you? My subconscious said.

"What do you want, Ishaan? I told you already, I am not going to the party/ auction cum gala, whatever it is." I said and put my headphones back on.

He asked again, but let him do a little heavy work. And you know what he did, he sat their for a whole hour watching me, staring me.

He once came to talk while I was practicing my punches, I punched the bag, so with so much force, he gulped and went back to his place to sit.

Wooww, what a fun day.
