Ranveer Vs Vin - A DeepVeer Fanfic

Chapter 2

"Alright, we're here," the driver announced. Deepika began rummaging in her purse as Ranveer got out of the car, walking around the back while waving at the paparazzi, and opened Deepika's door. Deepika got out and closed the door behind her, and the two walked hand in hand towards the photo section. And as expected, the reporters and cameramen were already shouting and hollering their names.

"Baba! Baba! Here!" some shouted.

"Deepika ma'am! Deepika ma'am!"

"Bhabi! Bhabi!"

Deepika laughed as she walked towards them. "Don't call me Bhabi, please."

Ranveer and Deepika posed for each picture, hoping to get out of it and meet up with their friends quickly before the show started. But of course, the paps were taking a long time.

"Are we done yet?" Ranveer asked. "Arjun and Varun have been spamming me for the past fifteen minutes about where I am."

Deepika giggled. "Sounds like them. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be done soon."

And she was right. Ranveer hurried away, cursing his annoying text messages from his friends, while Deepika went to meet up with Kalki, Alia, Priyanka, and Kriti.

"Kalki! I haven't seen you in forever!" Deepika exclaimed, rushing forward to hug her former co star. Kalki happily hugged her back.

"Where were you, DP?" Alia asked. "We've been waiting for you forever! Was Ranveer taking a long time doing his hair? Or were you taking a long time doing your hair?"

"No, we got here fifteen minutes ago," Deepika informed her. "Why? When did you get here?"

Alia sighed. "You know me too well, DP..."

"That's not an answer, Aloo."

"Fine. I got here five minutes ago," Alia admitted. Deepika and Priyanka laughed and high-fived each other. "Oh come on! Most of the time I was doing my makeup. And Ranbir was taking a long time talking to Salman ji."

"Why was he talking to Salman ji?" Deepika asked.

"No idea."

Ranveer and Ranbir jogged up to them. "Time to go, girls. Show's starting," Ranveer informed them.

"Okay, chalo," Priyanka said.

Ranbir, Ranveer, Alia, Deepika, and Priyanka sat side by side in the front row. Ranveer searched for Priyanka's husband, but he couldn't find him anywhere.

"Where's Nick, PC? Did you not bring him?" Ranveer asked.

"No, Rano. He had a new song to tend to with the Jonas Brothers."

"That's too bad."

Much to Ranveer's surprise, the most unexpected person showed up, standing right in front of Deepika, his arms spread wide with a huge grin engraved on his face. His bald head shined in the bright stage lights.

"Vin?" Deepika said, raising her perfectly arched eyebrows. All five of the Bollywood superstars stood up to greet the foreign Hollywood actor.

"Deepika, it's been a while!" Vin exclaimed. "You must be Priyanka! Deepika has told me a lot about you."

"Same here," Priyanka said, smiling politely while shaking his hand.

"Ranbir!" Vin exclaimed, pulling Ranbir into a bear hug. Ranbir seemed slightly uncomfortable at the sudden affection, but he didn't protest as Vin proceeded to slap him on the back. "Deepika has told me a lot about you too! It's so awesome I finally get to meet you!"

"It's a pleasure," Ranbir stated, not so genuinely. He backed away from the bald man, hiding behind Ranveer.

"Hey, Ranveer," Vin said dully. He didn't pay any further heed to Ranveer, and Ranveer found that to be very unusual. He thought it was a joke, because he and Vin were good friends during the time Deepika and Vin were shooting for xXx Return of Xander Cage.

"Uh, alright then..." Ranveer decided to let it go, assuming Vin was tired from his travels. "So, Vin, when did you get here, man?"

"This morning, actually," Vin said, still staring at Deepika. Ranveer felt slightly out of place at the fact Vin was acting as though Deepika were the only person in the world. Only Ranveer looked at her that way.

Deepika had clearly noticed Vin's unwavering attention on her, but she didn't blush. She didn't have feelings for Vin. She was already married to the love of her life, and only Ranveer had a romantic effect on her. No one else could ever be the same as her beloved Veer.

"Uh, we should probably sit down," Alia suggested, clearly as uncomfortable as the rest of them. Priyanka immediately agreed, hoping to release some of the tension.

Boy, this was going to be a long night.
