Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 143

"Oh come on this is manipulated or something, how is this even possible" I complained turning around to let Mo take her turn

"You're just bad at it the game is fair"

"Hey uh, I have to go, curfew and all that but it was great meeting everyone" Amara called out looking at her phone

"Are you gonna be around tomorrow too ?"

"Yeah"

Aryan left too, walking her home and then heading to the hotel since he claimed he was tired, I caught my gaze following the two of them as they walked outside until Mo hit my arm

"Stop staring" she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and turned us around "okay I do understand what you meant she was really sweet" I sighed looking at her "but I'm like 90% sure they're not dating"

"Mo"

"No, no" she held her pointer finger out to me "I know you don't want to make yourself false hope, I don't want to give you false hope either but there is literally no way they're actually dating"

"So, want to maybe include us into your super secret convos" Dior asked as Leah and her joined the two of us, mo looked at me, like asking what I want to share

"Mo insists that Aryan and Amara are fake dating and I keep telling her that that's hella unrealistic and just not true" I quickly explain the two girls

"Oh my god, shut up I've been thinking that but I just didn't want to bring you any wrong emotions" Leah gasped looking at Momona

"See"

"I don't know, I wouldn't say it's impossible, they really don't act couple-ish" Dior also agreed nodding

"Maybe they're just not the kinds to show it that openly" I shrugged

"Girl, look I would say that could be true but I mean, we've all seen Aryan when he was with you, that guy is neither good at hiding that he's in love nor is he trying to hide it" Leah laughed, I could feel a sharp sting in my chest

"This is all just absurd" I shook my head and got lose from monas arm

"Belle come on" I turned my back to them and walked up to Charlie and Walker, I physically couldn't handle hearing this anymore

If they were fake dating that probably just meant that he didn't want to be with me anyways because why would they pretend in front of us otherwise ? I had made the bed but lying in it hurt so bad

If they were really fake dating wouldn't he tell me ? There were so many moments when it was just the two of us and we were so so close in these past few days, would he have actually just lied to me if it was fake ? What if I had been screwing my mind up in guilt all of this time and he didn't even care

"You're actually really bad at bowling Belle, how are you behind Leah ?" Charlie laughed as I joined them

"Hey, I've got other talents"

"Do you ?" I hit walkers arm "ow"

"I have more talents than you"

"Really ? Can you recite all of deadpool ?"

"Can you recite all of tangled ?"

"Woah, I knew about deadpool but can you actually recite tangled ?" Charlie asked looking between Walker and I

"Yeah" I smiled "I also just love that movie though"

"Yeah the weirdo watched it at least once a week" Walker commented rolling his eyes

"Yeah I did at least I didn't watch deadpool every day"

"I didn't watch it every day and I played in a movie with Ryan Reynolds so I know deadpool first hand"

"You know deadpool is fictional right idiot ?" He flicked my forehead making me flinch away

"Why did you leave the gossipers" I looked over at the three girls who were in deep conversation

"Didn't like where the conversation was going" I shrugged turning back to the two guys

"Where was it going ?"

"Unimportant"

"Should we maybe head back too ? It's almost 11 and we're filming tomorrow" Charlie suggested looking at his watch

"Yeah probably"

We droppped Momona off at her place before going to the hotel, I immediately changed into my pyjamas and crawled into my bed while the other two were still wandering around our room getting ready for bed

I turned around when I heard the door knocking, watching Leah go to open it

"Has anyone of you heard from Aryan ? He isn't back yet" I sat up in the bed leaning against the window

"What do you mean he isn't back yet ?" Dior asked coming out of the bathroom with her toothbrush

"He isn't answering his phone either" Charlie also came into our room holding his phone in his hand

"Maybe he's just chilling with Amara" I shrugged wrapping my blanket around me

"He said he's gonna head straight home cause he's tired and he wouldn't just not answer his phone" I took my phone and went on his contact clocking the phone button "I tried it Belle he isn't-"

"Hello ?" I looked up at the others with my eyebrows raised

"Dude where are you ?" Walker came and sat on my bed taking the phone in his hand

"Just got to the lobby, why ?"

"What took you so long weren't you gonna come straight to the hotel ?"

"Yeah Mara and I got caught in a conversation" I looked at Charlie again with an I told you so expression

"Don't get caught by the elevator guy" I spoke into my phone remembering the man we had come across after our roof meeting

"I'll try"

Everyone got back into their rooms and Leah and Dior also got into their beds closing the lights now, I turned my back to the room and peaked through the blinds to see Vancouver a little

"Belle ?" I hummed quietly in response "are you mad at us ?"

"No, why would I ?"

"Cause of the whole fake dating thing earlier"

"It's fine, it doesn't matter anyways"

Authors note:
I can proudly say that I can in fact basically recite the entire movie tangled and I do in fact watch it at least once a week 🤪
I can practically see the end slowly and it's scaring me honestly 😪
But for now the end is not here yet. I don't think it'll be here within the next 10 chapters at least either
Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter my loves 🤭🫶🫶

Lyrics of the day :
Held my breath for your reaction
Like the first time that we happened
We were fighting more than laughing, black and blue,
