Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 50

"Want to watch a movie?" Neisha asked as she sat down on the armchair, the grown ups had just left to do I don't know what leaving only Neisha, Aryan and me there

"Sure"

"What movie ?"

"You choose"

"No you choose"

"Well I don't care"

"Me neither"

"Aryans choice" we both look at Aryan, who was sitting next to me the whole time looking at us

"I don't know" I groan in annoyance throwing my head back

"Wait I think I need to walk a round first my foot's feeling really stiff" I say moving a little to get my crutches

"Isn't your foot supposed to be stiff ?" Aryan frowned at me

"Well yeah a little but the doctor said it's good to keep it moving a tiny bit so it's easier to get right back at it when the cast is gone and it's feeling really uncomfortably painful right now, I'll just walk around the block a little it's fine"

"Wait let me come-" Aryan says getting up as I slowly go to the door

"No it's fine really, you two can pick a movie while I'm gone" he looks like he wants to say something but he doesn't and just sits down again watching me until I was out of eye sight

I walk around a little making sure not to go too far so I don't loose the house, there was a cold wind blowing in the air making me feel the hairs on my arms rise

I stop walking at some point and stretch my fingers and take a breath

"Belle ? What are you doing here ?" I turn my head to find aunt Anaisha looking at me "shouldn't you be sitting ?"

"Yeah I just needed to move a little, my foot felt too stiff and I just really needed some movement" I explain to her with a smile

"Oh alright, are you coming back with me or do you need another minute ?"

"Maybe just another minute, you can stay if you want"

"Sure I wanted to talk to you anyways" I frowned a little putting my hands back around the crutches and taking a little of the weight off of my foot and regaining my balance "I want you to be honest with me"

"Of course"

"Are you and Aryan really dating ?" I looked at her wide eyed, I expected her to not believe us I had noticed that but I didn't really expect her to be so straight forward with it

"What ? Yes of course"

"Really ? Because nothing about it is on social media, I checked aryans and your instagram and you two seem really close, just not really like lovers" I had to do quick thinking now, one wrong word or a too long pause would just confirm her doubts

"We just, like we said want to keep it in the quiet and I just don't want it to seem rude if we're too close when we're sitting with you, it seems disrespectful I believe"

"Nonsense, it's not rude or disrespectful we love seeing Aryans happy and in love" my stomach turned a little at the last words "But Belle I have my doubts about you two, I really like you I think you are really nice and pretty but I don't know if I can believe that you are dating, you're showing too little... how do I say ? Affection to one another and if you are not seriously dating I would really like for Aryans to meet the girl because she's perfect for him"

I let her words wander through my mind the whole way back to the house, all of them. She didn't believe us, we needed to up our game like come on we're actors how are we failing so bad at acting like a couple
