Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 49

"Belle...?" I looked at Aryan as he looked at his phone and then at me "so my uh- my aunt just texted me, she asked if you wanted to come over again, I told her you were busy the last few times but uhm" I looked at him, the last time I had pretended to be his girlfriend it was alright and really not too awkward if we're honest, but since then I had discovered I had a tiny crush on Aryan and then that maybe that tiny crush wasn't only as teeny tiny as I thought it was "I'll just tell them that you can't, because of your foot you know"

"No it's fine I'll go"

"Really ? It's totally fine if you don't you know"

"I mean we're already here in California" he smiled

"Thank you, they had started asking questions last time"

"I don't think they really believe us" I shrug trying desperately to push that feeling that was building up in my stomach down

"Some of them did"

"Oh is Neisha gonna be there ?"

"Yeah"

"Amazing, she's great like truly"

"Meh she's alright" I shake my head playfully hurt at him, then I just look at him. And he looks at me. And we just stay like that for a bit

Aryans view:

I looked at her, her eyes were shining as bright as always and she looked so beautiful,I could stare at her forever if it wouldn't be weird. But it would, so I turned my head away from her and searched my phone

"So when is that next dinner ?" She asked "if it's dinner again ?"

"It's more like coffee and cake this time" I explained "and it's actually today at 2" I looked up at her from my phone to see if she had something to say against that

"Great uh I should get ready then" she wiggled a little around in my bed until she reached the edge and pushed herself up, I got up from where I was sitting too and and handed her her crutches and opened my door for her "Well thank you simhadri"

"Why of course Scobell" I went up to her room with her and opened the door for her, she had figured out how to do it herself by now but I still liked helping her wherever I could, I can only imagine how bad a broken foot must suck

I went back to my room and sat down on my bed, calling my cousin

"What's up loser" Neisha said as she picked up the phone after a few rings

"Dude"

"Dude?"

"Dude. Belles coming"

"What today ?!"

"Yes today. I just asked and she said yes again and I just I'm kind of freaking out"

"You did this before already Aryan, you're gonna be fine"

"Yeah but I feel like I like her more now, like each day that passes I find something new to like about her"

"Boy you're down bad for her. Why don't you just shoot your shot ?"

"No way. She doesn't like me like that, she's been texting with this Micheal a lot lately and also I couldn't risk ruining our friendship"

"Look I don't know about that guy but for the second thing, just try to figure out if she's worth the risk, if you really like her you would know. Think about that Aryan. But I really got to go now"

"Great thanks neish"

"No problem kiddo, bye I'll see you later"

"I'm literally a year- younger than you, you hung up already"

Belles view

"Belle it's so nice to see you again" the woman who had opened the door pulled me into a hug "you look so pretty, doesn't she Aryan"

"Absolutely, just gets more beautiful from day to day" I felt my cheeks flush a little red and just shook my head with a smile

"Come in, don't stand too long you can just sit down there and lay your leg out" the woman said as she gestured me into her living room

"Is mom not here yet ?" Aryan asked as he helped me get onto the couch before sitting down beside me himself

"No, you know your mother" she smiled "but Neisha is here, Neisha! Aryan and Belle are here"

"I'm coming", she came into the room with, to my surprise a baby in her arms, I looked at her, then the baby, then Aryan

"It's her nephew" he whispered to me making me nod and breath a quiet "oh"

"Oh you want to say hi to Aryan and Belle" she said in a baby voice to the child in her arms who just squeaked happily holding out his hands for Aryan "you want to go to Aryan? Oh there you go" she gave the baby to Aryan and he immediately placed his hands on Aryans face making Aryan close his eyes and try to back away carefully with a huge smile on his face

I looked at him in awe as he talked and played with the little boy, he(Aryan) looked so sweet, adorable really as he just carefully entertained the small child in his arms who squeaked happily here and there. I didn't know that he was that good with kids, like yeah I've seen him with a few younger fans and all that before but never with someone this young and close to him. My heart felt warm at the sight and suddenly he was 10 times more attractive than before, there's just something about a man treating children this beautifully. He looked really pretty, you might not say that about boys but he really did and he looked sweet and he was so careful he was so- Alright stop Belle that's enough

I took a breath and finally let my gaze away from Aryan and turned to his family rather

"Belle would you like coffee?" Aunt Kamala asked me

"I'm not really the coffee fan, thank you though" I declined politely smiling

"Really ? Do you want something else ? Oh would like some Masala Chai ?"

"Yeah I think that sounds really good" I wasn't sure what that was but I knew that I didn't want to decline again so how bad could it be

"So Belle, tell us how did that happen with your foot ?"

"Oh uhm, I was ice skating with a few friends and wanted to try this new trick. It didn't go so well, I lost my balance and fell on my leg breaking three bones" I explained shortly
