Bound to fall in love

24

Shanaya's POV

I was sitting alone in shub's garden my hands hugging my knees adoring the patterns the stars made in the sky.

"Would you mind?" I heard Shubman approaching my rather small figure and when he sat next to me it just felt right? I don't know how to explain it we both know something's there but just scared to admit it. Everyone else around us knows. At this point it's weird that we're not dating.

"Of course not Shub. It's your house." I say emphasising on the word your. I think he'd forgotten about that.

It wasn't that late but it was winter so the sun had set early giving me more time to adorn the intricate patterns the stars had made in the clear night sky.

"It is one of my favourite things to do you know, just sit idle and stare at the stars like there's no tomorrow." I say breaking the comfortable silence between us.

He gives me a light smile which causes butterflies in my stomach immediately wanting to make me giggle because it's him after all.

"All of these stars these constellations have so many stories to tell yet we just take them for granted." I say my eyes still on the them.

"I never really looked at them this way. Now whenever I look at them they'll remind me of you." Shubman said but he was not so quick in hiding his blush because although it was dark red decorated his cheeks in the most beautiful manner.

Hearing him say this a smile forms on my lips. We don't speak or say anything for the next 15-20 minutes. The silence which is supposed to awkward offers a sense of comfort to both of us.

By now my head is resting over his shoulder and his arm is wrapped around my waist and honestly this feels more than right. Whenever we try to talk about our relationship dynamic it always leads to something chaotic so it's better that we stay this way not thinking about what would happen in the future or even tomorrow.

Suddenly I shiver when the cool air blows causing me to sneeze.

Shubman being the ever so gentlemen goes inside and gets me one of his hoodies to wear.

Kitna pyara hai yaar ye ladka.

Even after my excuses he persists me to wear it and honestly it feels so good. I'm warm and it smells like him which is an added bonus which I definitely do not mind having.

He was about to say something when we hear faint whispers from a distance.

"Abhishek I still can't believe they aren't together. If you show them the picture I just took no one would be able to say that they're not dating." Mehar says trying to speak as mildly as possible

"I wish they talk it out too. Shub really likes her you know? He keeps talking about her 24 7. Shanaya ne aaj ye kiya. Aaj Usne ye khaaya." Which causes Shubman who is sitting next to me to blush and boy does he look cute when he's blushing.

"Always talking about me huh?" I say biding his shoulder

But my ever so bestfriend doesn't let me have my moment and continues, "Shanaya is no less. And now that they've met it's just more of shubman that I have to hear about everyday."

A playful smile plays on shubs lips when I look down at the grass embarrassment written all over my face.

"What were you saying couldn't really hear you?" He says in a teasing tone

As we were about to take our banters further mehar and Abhishek finally appeared causing us to move away from the much comfortable position we were sitting in.

I already missed the way my his arms were wrapped around my waist.

"Sorry to disturb your 'oh we're so in love but will not date cause both of us our stupid moment' but if you haven't realised it's 8 in the evening I think we should head home before aunty kills the both of us." Mehar says

Shit it's already 8? Time really passes by when you're with your favourite person.

Wait is he my favourite person?

"Oh shit. Let's go. Thankyou for having us Shub and Abhay let's see eachother soon." I say giving both of them a smile and heading towards the car that stood in front of the house waiting for us.

"See you." Abhay said a smile platstered on his face.

"I really wish you could've stayed longer." Shubman whispered in my ear before I got into the car which made my heart rush and all my senses were of no use because I partially froze for a minute I think.

We got into the car and waved the guys goodbye as they were still standing on the front door waving like little kids.

"Today was well actually I won't lie Abhishek isn't that bad." Mehar said

"Wait what did I just hear you say? Did you mehar Aggarwal just say that Abhishek as in Abhishek Sharma isn't that bad?" I say overdramatisising her statement

"Yea yea make fun of me but we got along well after Shubman and you left us for your couple time." She said quoting the words couple time which made me blush the thoughts of what had happened minutes ago replaying in my mind.

"Yea I guess. We had a great time but we're not a couple just to be clear."

It's weird saying that because we act like all couples do and what they do.

"Yet." Mehar says wanting to prove her point.

We talk about I don't know what honestly we can make a conversation on any topic at this point. It's not long before I reach back home and am greeted with Mehar's message which is a photo of Shubman and I, only our backs visible,my head resting on his shoulder and his hand caressing my back. staring at the stars.

It's so goddamn cute.

The message reads and I quote.

And you say we're just friends😉

Yea regretting saying that about a 1000
times.
