Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 17

"Leah" I jumped to hug the girl who just entered my door, her doing the same "I missed you so much"

"I missed you more Belle it's been too long" Leah said in the hug, I then greeted Charlie and Dior who had arrived with her hugging both of them tightly

"Wow now let's guess who's late" Dior joked as we went into the living room to sit on the couch

"Aryan is like always late" Leah agreed grinning, we sat and talked for about 10 minutes until the doorbell rang, I went to open the door to find Aryan, with a huge smile on his face

"Heeey" I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and felt his around my waist

"Hey Bels" we went into the living room where everyone hugged Aryan first before calming down and sitting back on the couch

"The casts back together" Dior smiled looking at us

"It was about damn time it's been over a month" we did a lot of talking and catching up because even though we had been texting and calling a lot it just wasn't the same

"Wait we gotta meet you boyfriend while we're here" Leah said clapping her hands

"They're so cute together it makes me want to throw up" Leena spoke looking at me, I was blushing like crazy I felt the heat in my cheeks "call him, ask if he can come over" I debated if I should for a second not wanting to make it weird but decided to just go for it, what's the worst that could happen

I took my phone and went into the kitchen to call Jason

"Hey love"

"Hii, so you know that I'm like hanging out with the cast right now right ? Like Aryan, Dior, Leah and Charlie"

"Yeah..?"

"They asked if you maybe wanted to come over so they could meet you" I waited for a response, it was silent

"Are you sure ?" He finally said "I mean I'd love to"

"Really ? Do you have time ?"

"Yeah I hadn't planned anything today, are you really sure tough ?"

"Yeah duh"

"Alright I'll be there in like half an hour then"

"Okay bye" I hung up the phone,a huge smile still lingering on my lips

"Jason huh?" I turned at the voice not having noticed anyone being in the kitchen

"Geez Aryan you scared me" I breathed out

"Sorry"

"But yeah, Jason" I nodded smiling

"Hey you said you'd play me one of your songs next time I came over" the boy crossed his arms in front of his chest I had said that , I bit my lip

"Yeah but there are like a lot of people now, next time when it's just you okay?" He nodded

"Of course" he smiled at me and I left the room to inform the others that Jason did in fact have time to come over

3rd person view

Aryan let out a breath after he watched Claribel leave the kitchen, leaving him there by himself

He felt his heart sting just thinking about the fact that he would have to watch her and her boyfriend the rest of the evening

He didn't exactly know why he felt that way but he did know that things felt different today than they did before, before Claribel started dating Jason, she had stopped texting and calling that much and he had heard the words im with Jason right now one too many times

He missed his best friend and the bond they had while filming

Aryan walked into the living room and sat down next to Belle hearing into the conversation that was going on

"You just hate love Walker, that's all" Belle roles her eyes at her twin

"At least I don't date a girl I've met literally a day ago"

"We have known each other for like 8 years Walker you were just a dramatic ass"

"Alright alright that enough no need to argue about this" Charlie went between the two siblings

Claribels mood lifted immediately when she heard the door ring, she smiled brightly and rushed to open the door

Belle hugged her boyfriend and kissed him before pulling away and looking at him with a huge grin

"You're gonna meet my friends" she whispered, he was a few inches taller than her so he had to slightly look down to her

"I know, this is scary" he tugged a piece of hair behind her ear as Walker entered the doorway

"Stop making out with my sister dude" the three of them went into the living room where Dior shot Leena, who was next to her a look and whispered "he is quite handsome"

Belle introduced them to one another and everything really went great

Aryan watched the couple silently, his eyes lingering on them a bit too often for Charlie to not notice

The group decided to order pizza for lunch and watch a movie while eating

Belle and Jason let out a giggle and a laugh here and there receiving stern looks from her friends. They quieted down a bit later since they didn't want to annoy the others too much, she leaned on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her

Aryan excused himself, saying he just needed a bit of air and went outside, Belle noticed. She followed him with her eyes as he went through the kitchen outside into the garden, her smile fading lightly

She sat there for a moment looking at the television but not really picking up much of the movie, her thoughts lingering on her friend

"Hey I'll just go check on Aryan real quick yeah ? Just to make sure he's alright" Jason nodded removing his arm from her body and watching her leave the house before turning back to watch the movie

Authors note:
Used the 3rd person view to show a little about how Aryan is feeling with all this and it hurt me 😔

But man why does he feel that way if only I knew... 👀
