All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 21 -Ishaan-

I reluctantly left Kaira there with Alina, it's not that I don't trust Kaira, she will rip the soul out of Alina if something happens, but it just didn't feel right to leave her there by herself, but who am I kidding, she is Kaira.

"Your date looks really gorgeous, and sweet." Mr. Asher. Aww, man, he is considering her sweet, little does he know that she is anything but sweet.

"Yeah she is." I replied with a smile, laughing internally.

After some chit chat, we went back and I saw Kaira discreetly stepping Alina's feet. Way to go my fighter princess! Alina screamed but Kaira just muttered a sweet apology.

Mr. Asher took her away. I then took her to meet my high school best friend, Zyan Williams. He was the first friend when I cam to UK. I did my high school from here.

And that went well, with him kissing her hand and winking at her but she didn't say anything, but when I keep my arm around her waist, she has problem.

"Are you jealous by any chance?" She asked, yes I was. She has to taunt me and everything even I do remotely something lame or flirty but with Zyan? Not. A. Word.

I made her sit comfortably, and whispered her ear.

"Yes, meri jaan. I am jealous." She shivered a little and was turning back when I made my way to the stage where the auction was going to start.

We all men stood up in line and names were started to call out, the amount was getting insane with every fucking minute. Will Kaira gave up on me?

My eyes immediately landed on her, and she was already looking at me. I bet my cheeks might have a hint of red but her eyebrows were scrunched together, as if trying to figure out the great mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

My name was announced and I stepped into the spot light, instantly many hands went up. The starting amount was 50,000 pounds.

It went up to 70,000 pounds and my palms started sweating, because now only Alina's and Kaira's hand were up, when suddenly there was an announcement over the speakers.

"Ms. Alina Parker, there is an urgent phone call for you, they claim that's it's a matter of life and death. We need you to report to the reception immediately." Everyone was perplexed, Alina put a fake smile and went out.

And Kaira raised her card again.

"70, 500, one, two three. Done." And like that I was down the stage and near Kaira in a second.

She raised an eyebrow, while I just picked her up ad twirled around.

"You can't even imagine how happy I am." I said breathless.

"I think I just saw." She said laughing. Everyone was applauding and the spotlight was on us. Kaira smiled for everyone and we took back our seats.

"I thought you would give up on me." I said leaning into her.

"Never. I mean how could I let you in the clutches of that witch." She replied with a pause.

"But, this amount, you are going to pay, I am broke." She said laughing again.

"Of course, I am indebted to you, for rescuing me. You are my knight in shinning armor." I said kissing her hands.

"You are doing it again." She said in a warning tone, but this time there was a small smile playing on her lips.

"Well, have I told you, how enchanting you look tonight?" I asked leaning in more.

"You have, but it won't hurt to say it again, will it?" She said with a raised eyebrow.

"So here I go, you are the most beautiful woman I have seen, you shine here like a moon, even in your black dress. And, you know what, this one bare shoulder, and collarbones are giving me ideas that are not that good and pure." I said leaning more, and there were mere inches between our faces.

My brain was telling me to back off, but my heart was telling me to go all in, and kiss the hell out of those red juicy lips, so I gave in.

I leaned in tilting my face to kiss her and just when I was about to touch her lips, she turned her face, and my lips landed on her cheeks.

Shit, did I fuck up? Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Fuck Kaira, I didn't meant to. I just lost control with you so close to me." I said in a hurry but she just nodded and looked ahead.

I have been rejected one or two times before but I never had this strong feelings for anyone before. She avoided talking for the rest of the evening.

Finally, we left around 10:30, because she was damn tired and done with me too. I dropped her off, and Aisha came onto balcony to wave off, but my mood wasn't the best so I just lazily waved and drove to my house.

I shut myself in my room, reflecting upon the stupid things I pulled off today. I shouldn't have leaned in to kiss, but I could sense that she wanted to too, but they why retract?

I was lost deep in my thoughts, standing in the balcony of my room, when my cell rang, it was Aisha.

"Hi." I said.

"What did you do?" She asked.

"Ask me what I shouldn't have done." I replied sighing.

"Well, Kaira is wasted after she drank the whole bottle of wine as soon she came back, so tell me." Aisha demanded. Wow, a bottle is way too heavy even for her.

I narrated everything to Aisha. She was quite for a long time, and I wasn't able to figure out she was angry with me or sympathetic for me.

"It's her usual self defence mechanism." Aisha replied sighing.

"What had happened to her in the past? I wanna know Aisha, I wanna know it all. I am fucking crazy about her, and I don't ever wanna leave her." I said into the phone and Aisha was grinning, I could tell.

"That's what I was waiting for, my brother. Now, you just have to confess to her. And, yes one more thing, are you coming to tomorrow's diwlai party?" She asked.

"Babe, I am organizing it." I said rolling my eyes.

"Sorry, I sort of forgot that. So, you might meet someone, who is the biggest douchebag and even bigger asshole with no brains what so ever inside him. Be prepared." Aisha said.

"Wait a min, you are not talking about Krish, right?" I asked. Just Krish's name is enough to trigger Aishu.

"Oh please, once you meet him, you will start loving Krish." She said.

"Does that mean you love Krish?" I asked, well I was just trying to rile her up.

"I said you will start loving Krish, not me. This discussion ends here, goodnight." She said, I responded same to you and she cut the call.

See, that what happens when you have the biggest mysterious history which literally no one knows between the two people. They are sometimes like ticking time bomb, like I have turned me and Kaira's relationship too.

Kaira, talk to me pleasee. I am dying to know you more.
