All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 31 -Kaira-

I woke up and sensed a pair of arms caging me, my self-defense kicked in, and in return, I kicked the person sleeping next to me.

Ishaan landed on the ground with a loud thud and shrieked scream, which caused everyone to Aisha to burst into our room.

She observed the scene and rolled up laughing, holding her stomach. I gave her a side eye, which caused her to down her volume a little, but she kept giggling.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." I said, helping Ishaan up from the floor.

"Please tell me in advance if you are going to harass me next time, too." He said, rubbing his butt area. My laugh also escaped, but in no time, I was pinned under Ishaan.

I closed my eyes, anticipating his move, but instead of kissing me, he started tickling me. And to add to that problem, I am extremely ticklish.

Aisha, too, came and started her torture on me.

"G-guyss, please stop." I shouted between laughs. Avni and Aman too came and saw us, but they were fully dressed for their office.

"Seems like a lot of fun going on here." Avni commented, resting her head on Aman's shoulder, adoring us.

Aman, who has an arm wrapped around Avni's waist, clicked some photos of us. Then both said their goodbyes and went on.

"Byeeeeee boring people." Aisha shouted, lying beside me on the bed.

Avni waved her and got out of the apartment, locking it behind her.

"Byeee sweethearts, I need to go home and get ready and do some actual work." Ishaan said, getting up from beside us, as we three were lying on the bed.

He kissed me on lips, and then mine's and Aishu's forehead too. And left.

"It feels like I am your grown-up child." Aisha said, laughing from beside me.

"You are our grown ass naughty child." I said, and she popped on her elbow.

"You are actually happy, and you talked about kids." She observed.

"I know right, these days, I feel like I am floating sometimes. Like Avni used to say, like a bird, open arms in my own sky." I replied, looking at her.

"Look at you, sexy as hell and happy too. But honestly, stop smiling so much. It freaks me out." She said laughing, and I smacked her head, getting up.

We got ready and left together today. She dropped me off before heading to her office. Driving a car is a hassel, but after tomorrow, we have decided we will. Aman is there for Avni and Aisha, and I will drive around ourselves, as and when needed.

It was almost time to get off. Only half an hour was left before I switched off.

"Kaira, there is someone waiting for you at the reception. Should I send him in?" The receptionist asked.

"Who is it?" I asked back.

"Mr. Prateek Verma." She replied.

"Sure, but after five minutes." I said to her, which she okayed.

I dropped a quick msg in the iur group that Prateek was here, and if anything happens, where to find me.

He eneters my cabin and locked the door, which did unlock a little of fear inside me, but I won't let him sense it.

"What do you want, Prateek?" I asked.

"Look at you all bold and successful, but you still a slut, which you were in college. I know you enjoyed my torture. Even after that, you sent me to jail. How big of you." He said, sitting in the chair, putting his legs on the table.

"My question still doesn't change. What do you want?" I said boldly, leaning back into my chair.

"You. After seeing that sassy mouth of yours, all I want is that wrapped around my dick." He said, leaning in.

"Unfortunately, that's possible...never." I said, leaning in with a smirk.

Suddenly, he grabbed my neck, but he had forgotten that I was not that timid girl now, I was a black belt taekwondo girl. In a smooth move, I removed his hand and twisted it, which earned a loud shriek from him.

"See, this is what happens when you touch a girl with your filthy hands." I said, twisting it more. The pain was clearly visible on his face, but he couldn't shout or anything. Why? Because he was a politician and he can't make a fool of himself.

There was a knock on the door, I released his arm and opened the door. Aisha came in.

"Let's go, Kaira, it's time for some of your favorite ice cream." She said, acting all happy and then glanced at Prateek.

"Oh, I didn't know you were or else I would have dog food while coming." She said, making a sad pout while I tried to suppress my laugh.

Prateek came and stood in front of her.

"You think you are very brave and act like you don't care. Wait and watch."

"I don't think. I am." Aisha said. Prateek held her hand in a tight grip, and Aisha, being Aisha, slapped him tight and pressed her heels on his shoe. Way to go, girl!

Prateeks's face was practically boiling, and steam was coming out of his ears and nose.

"You will pay for this." He said before storming out of my cabin.

"No problem, I got money." Aisha shouted behind him. People were watching us curiously, but they knew better than to question me.

"How was my performance?" She asked, winking me.

"Top notch." I said, winking back and gathered my stuff to head out. I filled out my attendance of the day, and Aisha opened the door of the car like I was some princess. We headed to our favorite ice cream parlor in the city and messaged Avni to join us too, which she happily did, but after a whole hour.

We narrated her the whole incident, and she was a laughing mess til the end of it.

It felt like after eternity, we were spending time alone, without boys. Just the three of us and ice cream like old times. It was refreshing.
