Hashtag ishdik is real

ch:8

I didn't even give hardik a chance to use the bathroom first. He was drenched in sweat , he definitely wanted to take a shower first. But i swear i need it more than him. I turned the cold water on and stood under the shower with my clothes on.
"What is happening to me!!" I said

"What? Did you fall?" Hardik replied from outside

"No I am fine." I screamed

This man is always at my heels.
As I washed away the heat from my body. I dried myself up and looked at my reference in the mirror.

"Fall? Falling? Am i falling for the fictional hardik!?" I whispered so that this time he won't hear me talk to myself.

He's such a romantic person, I need somebody to love me like that. I guess I am gonna start dating when I get back home.

I wrapped the towel and went outside. Hardik is sitting on the chair facing directly at the bathroom door.

"What happened inside!? You were talking to yourself?" He asked
Walking towards me, which is clearly not a good sign for me. The effect he is having on me is not good.

"Yes ,I was" I say

"You lil weirdo " he said ruffling my wet hair.

And entered the bathroom.

I stood still, where I was. And a feeling of dashing behind him to throw his wet vest off of him was polluting my mind.

'he won't mind ' i thought. He's always so flirty and clingy, bet he'll like it if I just gram him and steal a kiss.

I shook my head. These thoughts are corrupting my mind. Bro just chill.

My phone starts vibrating. I grabbed it to see shubham on FaceTime.

"Hey man!" I said

"Bro what's with that wet look, you look sexy af" shub said with wide eyes.

"Let me have the whole look!!" He demanded.

"I am having the whole damn look " hardik said from behind my shoulders.

I got a chill. When did he get here. How long have I been standing there ,that he already finished his shower.
I am losing my mind.

"It isn't fair!!" Shub complained.

"Bhai why didn't you bring me with you, you only took ish, it's unfair" shub kept on ranting

I handed the phone to hardik so they can have their own fight.

I just took out my outfit for the day and got dressed. I denied the thought of having a look at topless hardik, I am sure I will do some stupid things if I watch him . Or it'll be too uncomfortable for him if I stare at him when he's half naked.

"Here take it he wants to talk to you" hardik gave the phone back to me

"You've already covered your sexy body, baby it's really not fair, only hardik gets to see you like that!! Where's my chance?" Shub said

"Don't be radicals " I say with a annoyed face

"Fine fine, well I just called to see you, what are your plans for today?" Shub asked

"We're going out to have sight seeing, then some lunch maybe! Yeah that's it" I say.

Shub is all dressed up as well, i wonder where he's off to.

"Where are you going so dressed up?" I ask

"Nowhere, just gonna chill with friends" he said

"Alright hardik is ready, we'll leave now, talk to you later" I say.

"Yeah. Take care, see you soon" shub said and cut the call.

I took my handy bag and put my phone and wallet with all the cards.

"Let's go ", i say

Hardik is putting his accesories on.
He looks damn good in that white shirt.

"Yeah, " he said

The day was really so much fun, we looked at beautiful buildings. Roaming around the streets. It's so amazing how we're totally anonymous here, no one stops to look at what we're doing or who we are.

The lunch was so tasty. I was enjoying the surprise vacation so much. And hardik seems to have fun too, finally.

He laughed a lot and cracked so may jokes. Well I did too that's why so much of his laugh I get to hear.

As we're walking back to our hotel.
Holding hands. It's so casual for people here to hold hands. They don't judge if your boys holding hands. Back in the country I don't think we can do it in just common street. It's okay for us to hold hand in camera but not for real , there'll be too many Rumers flying around.

"Do you want some flowers??" He asked as we're passing by a pretty flower shop.

I wanted to say, yes ofcourse, rather I said

"Main ladki thodi hun"

"Ladka hai toh kya, you deserve flowers." He said and lets go of my hands.

"Can I get these tulips, please." He asked the old flower lady

The lady made a beautiful flower bouquet.
Hardik paid her.

"Here, beautiful red tulips for your beautiful boyfriend" the lady said handing the flowers to hardik.

"Thank you so much mam" hardik said smiling.

He didn't deny it when she said us as boyfriends.

Hardik gave the flowers to me
"For you meri jaan" he said

"You both look so good together" the lady said to me.

I could just smile. And nod at her. She looked so happy for me , i don't have the heart to make her sad by saying, ' we're just friends ' well not even friends, we're just teammates.

So I just.
"You have beautiful flowers" I said while leaving.

Her smile gave me a lil hope. Is this what people see when we're together, we look good together!! We can be together.

Oh man. Not again.... The day was going so smoothly and then this one gesture by hardik and the lady's words are making me think of the impossible.

"Thank you for the flowers" I said not being able to make eye contact. I wasn't this shy, ever. But I am not shy. It's just, I don't want my brain to start playing more tricks on me. That's why . I'd just keep my thoughts away for now. At least when hardik is around.

I only allow myself to feel any of this, while reading the fanfic and that too for the fictional ishan , not the real me.
