Always Have. Always Will

Change in the plan

Atharva's POV

The sharp sound of my alarm jerked me up from my slumber, I opened my eyes, and it took me a few minutes to register that I was in my room in the hotel. It was past 8 a.m. and I hardly slept for four hours. My cheeks lit up as I thought back to last night.

I tried to control the entire night but at last, I did something stupid that I was afraid of. But to be honest I don't feel bad about it at all, on the contrary, I am feeling happy. In the brief fraction of seconds when she was in my arms, I felt, that I had my entire world with me, and her skin melted like butter when my lips touched her. I can still feel her fragrance lingering around me, filling my heart with so much love that I fear it might explode.

"Get up sleepy head, we are about to leave" I cursed myself for not locking my door last night and the man before me, who lacked any decency to knock before barging in.

"Leave where? And how come you are awake this early in the morning?" Rahil looked at me as if I had grown an extra pair of ears, He grabbed my phone from me without asking again, and I grabbed his coffee mug from him and took a sip., I closed my eyes savoring the pleasure of the hot beverage going down my throat in the most delicious way waking up every cell in my body, he is a sucker for good coffee.

"Hey"

"Hey, what? Whom did you ask before taking my phone?"

"Come on! As if you have anything to hide from me, and at least put a password on your phone bro, or else you might get into trouble, you know? Dating two girls at the same time..."

"Shut up idiot. There is nothing on my phone that I need to hide from ANYONE" or at least on this phone, I feel bad about hiding a part of my life even from my best friend who is more like a younger brother just like Vayu...but revealing that may end my very idea of creating a new identity where I am known for who I am.

"And you didn't answer where do we have to leave for? And what are you checking on my phone?"

"Here, look" he brought the phone close to my eyes with a message on display from our production manager written about a change in plan and our flight details back to Mumbai departing in the evening.

I snatched back my phone, and the idiot took the heavenly beverage back in the same way, I glared at him who was giving me a sheepish smile, and then looked back at my phone. How could it be? The message came around 10 pm last night when I was more focused on the person before me than the stupid phone and I didn't even check it after I reached my hotel.

"We need to leave for Delhi right now or else we will miss the flight"

"Alright now leave me alone" I tried to dismiss him getting frustrated with this sudden change of plan, but his stubborn ass didn't move even an inch. I glared at him with my no-nonsense expression which ultimately worked, and he turned to move out.

"You have ten minutes big bro, make it fast." Thankfully he left before I could throw something that could hurt his empty skull.

I got up from bed thinking about sharing the news with Mahika when the realization hit me like a lightning bolt. I DON'T HAVE HER CONTACT NUMBER.

Mahika's POV

Dear Mumma,

I met this guy today...Atharva. He is an actor; a famous one...can you believe that? Which makes him good-looking, obviously...but he is more than just his looks...he has a very kind heart. I don't know whether meeting him was a good idea or bad but what I feel after meeting him is more important right?
