All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 15 -Ishaan-

I was so nervous to even ask about the party to Kaira, Aisha pinched me.

I asked and, as expected, a rejection. I knew that I should have done something big to ask her, but Aisah said not this time. Her exact words were,

"Save the big gesture for proposing or when you fuck up."

And as she is more experienced than me, I shut my mouth and obliged.

Kaira stormed out of the apartment wearing her hadphones, while Aisha and I kept calling her.

"What now?" I asked, sighing.

"Uggh, you idiot." Aisha said.

"I am sure you are right, but why?" I replied her Rachel's dialogue with Chandler's dialogue.

"Chase her. Gym, top floor." She said, and next moment I was running to the elevator.

"Are you a bullet train? I was screaming your name, but you wouldn't slow down. Storming out of apartment like that." I said, huffing and caught my breath. I do go to gym, and I have good body too but considering the fact that I haven't gone to gym in like a month, because I was swamped with work and Bhabhi's pregnancy hormones were at peak.

"What do you want, Ishaan? I told you already, I am not going to the party/ auction cum gala, whatever it is." She said putting back her headphones. I needed to think about something fast.

I sat there while she did her boxing practice, after mustering courage for like half an hour, I went near her again to ask and plead obviously, but she punched the bag with so force, I took a u turn and came back to my seat, to which I was glued for the last 30 minutes.

She looks so sexy, in her gym capri and crop top. I am starting to get jealous of all the men here.

One person was constantly staring at her, I cleared my throat, and his eyes shot to me. I gave him a not so pleasing smile, and he understood. Smart boy.

Kaira was starting to leave when a fuse bulb lighted in my mind, and I stood up in my place.

"Kaira Bhardwaj." I shouted, and everyone started to look at me.

"Pleaseeee be my valentine for the gala. I beg you, Kaira. I need you there with me, by my side." I said, some person put on a romantic song on the speakers for background music, way to go people!

"Uh, uh, still a NO." She said and turned around.

"Kairaaa." I shouted again, but she just waved and got out of through the glass door.

Dejectedly, I climbed down and got out too. Kaira was waiting in front of the elevator, so I joined her but didn't utter a word. We both got in and reached her floor in no time.

"Maybe, I need a little more convincing." Kaira said so slowly that I almost missed it and exited the elevator, leaving me and my whole body frozen.

I regained my senses and exited behind her. She got into and saw a lying Aisha on the couch, a book in her one hand, and she was asleep.

"Aishu." She whispered, shaking her a little.

"Hey, don't disturb her. She is already tired." I said and picked Aisha im my arms.

"Where's her room?" I asked, and Kaira led me to Aisha's room. I put her in bed while Kaira tucked her in and placed a small kiss on her forehead.

After bearing with Kaira's grumpy and rude personality for two years, I find it very hard to adjust to her on this new side, the caring and loving side, which is available only for Aisha. When will I get the honor of that..??

Kaira made way to her room, and I followed behind.

"Pleasee pleasee, pleasee Kairu." I said in flow flow as Aisha calls her this too.

"What did you call me?" She asked, turning around abruptly.

"Um..Kairu?" I said a little unsure.

"Only Aisha is allowed to use that nickname. Don't cross your line, Mr. Malhotra." She said. And we are back to square one, rude and grumpy Kaira.

"Kaira, pleasee come with me to the dance gala cum auction. I am literally begging you." I said.

"If you keep your lame jokes and flirty lines to yourself, then yes, otherwise no." She replied, opening her closet.

Wait, she said yes? Of course, she did doofus.

"I promise, with all my soul." I said, grinning.

"Okay, Mr. Frustrating. Get out of here now. Your Aisha is also asleep, so it won't hurt you to go to your home." She said, shooing me out of her room.

"Okay, Ms. Sexy Pants." I said but really hoping that she wouldn't hear it or would beat the shit out of me.

Loud thunderstorms were echoing in the living room as I sat on the couch and took out my phone. I had so many mails pending, so I started to reply to them.

Kaira came out after 15 minutes in her sexy pajamas. Ms. Sexy pants, awlays wear sexy pants, that's why she is ms. sexy pants. I laughed internally at my one more lame joke. I need to stop doing that.

"You still here?" She asked, normally pouring herself water.

"It's too dangerous to drive in this weather." I replied, still typing in the phone.

"So, after all, you do have work." She said, sitting opposite to me.

"What can I do? That company won't run itself, it doesn't have legs or shoes." I replied.

"There you go, the lamest joke of the world by Ishaan Malhotra." Kaira said, rolling her eyes, and I laughed at myslef.

"You can crash at Avni's room or the couch if you want." Kaira said after some minutes of silence.

"Can I crash at your room?" I asked with a flirty smile.

"Sure, then I will go and sleep with Aisha." She said in the same tone.

"Well, can I crash at your bed with you in it?" I said, leaning towards her.

"Maybe when the global warming ends, you can do that." She said, getting up, patting my chest, and getting into the kitchen.

I put my hand where she touched and sank into the couch, taking in all the feels and goosebumps that erupted due to her touch.
