Can't Stay Away ✔️

31. Cruise

Hi guys! You might or might know that I have started writing another book. It is completely different from this one. It is an erotica and will most probably be a short story. It would be great if you guys could check it out! I'd be actively updating both the books.

Don't forget to like and comment!

"Good morning." I put on my chirpiest voice.

"Don't 'good morning' me! Not after that act you pulled you little shit!"

Shit, he is very pissed.

"Calm down, Virat. What's the matter?" I ask, trying to seem innocent.

Virat grits his teeth, "Don't pretend you don't know, Ayesha. Why the hell is she here?"

Arjun stiffens behind me, his hand instinctively reaching for the small of my back.

Virat's eyes flick to Arjun and then back to me, his anger momentarily dimmed by confusion. "You two..."

"Yes, us two," Arjun interjects, raising an eyebrow.

I have been so caught up living in my own bubble with Arjun that I didn't realise that how would others react to us being together.

Are we together though?

What are we actually?

"Gosh, woman. Aren't you a fast learner?" Virat says, amused.

Heat reaches up to my cheeks.

"Now, why don't you go downstairs and talk to Geetanjali? She's waiting for you." I quickly change the topic to cover my embarrassment.

He lets out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair, "You don't know how complicated it is!"

"Hey! Look at me. Remember what you told me yesterday? It's time to wear your big boy pants and face the situation head on. Go talk to her and let her explain once at least." I move my glance to a very confused Arjun who is probably thinking what I am talking about. "I took your advice and now it's your turn."

Virat sighs defeatedly.

He mutters something under his breath but nods reluctantly. "Fine. But if this blows up in my face, I'm holding you responsible."

I give him a small smile. "Deal. And I, am gonna do the same to you."

He smiles back.

"Sorry for the intrusion guys. I will get out of your hair and you can go back to whatever you were doing." Virat says walking out of the door.

As soon as Virat leaves, there's another knock at my door. It's Zoya now calling us as it's time to leave.

The beach is buzzing with excitement as everyone gathers their gear for a day of water sports. I stand next to Arjun, my heart pounding with anticipation. The sun is bright, the waves are inviting, and I can't wait to dive into the fun.

"Alright, everyone," Isha calls out, her voice cutting through the chatter. "We've got jet skis, paddleboards, and kayaks. Let's make the most of it!"

Raghav, always the protective fiancé, wraps an arm around Isha. "Remember, take it easy, Isha. No crazy stunts today."

Isha rolls her eyes but her smile is soft. "I'm pregnant, not fragile, Raghav."

He kisses her temple, his affection evident. "I know, but I still worry."
