Dancing To Your Tune

Is Three a Crowd?

Amber was currently grounded for her mistake. She had expected that much. After the breakdown she had Akk had comforted her and made her see how shaken her brother had been because of the incident. She got it, okay, she knew how terrible it must've been for Ayan but she had been too hurt and angry to think about others at that moment. Teenagers acted selfishly, nothing new in that. Now that she was too drained to feel angry with anyone she could acknowledge her mistake and make up for it. The talk with her brother had gone lot smoother than she had expected, definitely Akk had a talk with her brother. Having Akk here really made everything easier and lot less scary. She was relieved to know Ayan had someone by his side all the time with whom he could share his troubles.

Ayan only told good things to her, taking the burden of all negative aspects in their lives. He would never share his worries with her, never let go of tough facade in her presence but with Akk he could relax and be carefree. She hadn't contacted Rain after last night. She wasn't sure how she could even begin to apologize to him. She had been waiting so excitedly to have Rain meet her brothers but everything was ruined now. Rain was such a tender soul, he must've been deeply hurt by Ayan's behavior.

She mustered her courage and dialed his number. It rang for a while but no picked up so she dialed again and this time an unfamiliar voice responded.

"Who's this? This is Rain's phone."

"Yeah, he's sleeping at the moment."

"Who are you?"

"Phayu-"

"WHAT? Why are you at Rain's place?" She screeched in surprise.

"He's at my place-"

"Why the hell is he there? Did you force him to go there? What are you planning?"

"Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are to be questioning me like this?"

"I'm his girlfriend. I have every right to question you."

"Yeah right, you weren't worried about him last night when he was walking in rain."

That stopped her short, "He was?"

"Yeah. I found and took care of him."

"You should have taken him to his place. Why would you take him to your place?"

Phayu was getting pissed off at the tone of this girl, "Because I can. Rain has spent enough nights here what was one more?"

Amber could feel jealousy kicking in, "Don't you dare do anything to my Rain."

Phayu scoffed, "Your Rain? It didn't look like that last night when he was in my arms."

"Where is your place?"

Phayu cut off the call feeling elated with his petty behavior. He could've handled it lot better but he didn't care at the moment. Amber was seething in fury and jealousy. That good for nothing Phayu. How dare he touch her Rain. She pulled up couple location finding app they had installed in their phone and ran out of house to track down her boyfriend. She'll explain it to Ayan later on why she had gone out while being grounded.

Rain groggily got off the bed and went to freshen up. It was after he had washed his face that he realized he wasn't supposed to be here. He had been so accustomed to Phayu's place that his brain was navigating through the house without even realizing where he was. Why was he here? Slowly he recalled the events of last night and was absolutely mortified. A freaking sub drop? Why did it have to happen in front of Phayu? He had been so pathetic last night, clinging to Phayu like an idiot. Phayu must think he wasn't loyal to Amber. He should be thankful Phayu hadn't taken advantage of his sub drop.
