Those Silly Days

Chapter 9

<<Manav's POV>>
For the first time !! Ha .. ha...
Her head was rested on my shoulder. She's dead drunk. Seriously , I understand why she drank so much but yet. I call her babygirl for a reason. She's like a kid - a baby and that is why I call her that. She's cute, funny, demanding at times still one thing I can say for sure that she's different.
The party was over. Mess covered my house but I don't have to worry about that. Sid, Aamir, Myria, Shreya, Tanvi and Priya stood in circles. Tanvi and Priya were badly druken not that I expected anything else from them.
"J... '
' Hmm.. '
' Wake up. Let's get you home. ' I tried pulling her up so that she could go to her PG but well she couldn't do that too. Rather she pulled me down with her. Myria laughed at my situation. I narrowed my eyes at her before saying,'Dont laugh. Help'
'Nada,not in a mood. 'She smirked.
'Jiya..'
'Hmm..'I pushed her head a little. She slumped the further. Her head bobbed from side to side before she decided to fall on my lap. Myria again smirked. Jiya shifted and her face was now facing my stomach. I don't know what she thought but it was embarrassing. Still cute act, I admit. Her thin arms wrapped around my waist as she nuzzled her face in stomach. Till now it was cute but next was...
'Soft.. 'She muttered lazily.
Next I knew was everyone cracking into laughter and my face probably beet root red.' Shit Jiya.. 'I thought. Though all this a soft smile crept on my face at her actions. I looked down at her. Her face was partially hidden by her hair. She looked so cute even when sleeping. That were my thoughts at the moments.' Jiya... 'I shake her again.
' Buddy, leave it. She won't wake up. ' it was Siddie. I sigh.
' She can sleep here too. 'Myria speaks. My eyes bulge out of the sockets. She smirks at me.
' She have been here many times. She won't mind. You probably won't. 'Sid points out. He's right though. She has been here at my place for sleepovers. Quite a times so it should be okay. I nod my head in agreement. I make a clumsy attempt at picking her up.
' Seriously bro, pick her up like this. ' Sid picks Shreya in bridal style. Shreya blushes before her hand hits Sid' s chest. 'Drop me down Sid' she rushes. I chuckle at them. They can be seriously cute. I tell you.

I do as I just saw. Wrapping Jiya's arm around neck, I lift her up quickly. I realise she's pretty light. My eyes roam around to see Myria and Aamir smirking at me while Shreya smiles sweetly at me. Wishing my friends a good night, I take J to my room. I place her carefully on my bed. Removing her heels, I cover my duvet over her. My eyes take in her gorgeous self. She's beautiful. I always felt that. I tuck her hair behind her ear. I take in as much as I can of her sleeping self. I have a sudden urge to press a kiss on her forehead. It's not right. But still, I let my wild side take over me. I press my lips on her forehead. Her skin soft beneath my rough lips. For one last time, I watch her sleeping beautiful self before leaving my room since I'm going to sleep in guest room.

<<<<<Jiya's POV >>>>>>
I peek my eyes open before squinting them shut. So much light. Where am I and what time is it? How did I end up here? Have I lost my memory? I force my eyes open again. It takes sometime before my eyes adjust to the brightness. I realize that it's Manav's room. I rub my eyes whilst I try and sit up. My head throbs badly making me bite my lip in pain.

I'm looking around the room when my eyes fall on his neat hand writing. It's a note stuck to glass. It has a message for me :
Hey,
Morning. Having a head ache??
Look beside. Seeing the pill.? Take that.

Tc, Babygirl. 😊

I mentally aww at his attitude. Manav can be damn caring. Popping the pill, I wait for its effect whilst resting my against the headboard.

'Morning. ' I hear someone greet.
I see Manav leaning against the door frame with a sweet smile on his face.
' hey ' I let out a weak smile since my headache is still there.
'Headache?' I nod. He smiles taking a seat at the edge of the bed.
'what's the time? '
' 11:30 'My eyes bulge out. He chuckles.
' Seriously? ' He nods.
' Btw, your parents called?'
'Shit. And did you answer? ' My parents know that I am his friend but they don't know how close we are. Frankly, my parents are of old view. They don't like friendly interaction with boys. Though for some work, we interact, they won't mind. But... Well, you probably got an idea.
'Nah. I just texted them saying that you're in a class. ' I sigh in relief. He laughs at my expression. Manav has the knowledge of how my parents are so...
' By the way, you must be hungry. Freshen up whilst I will just tell Ramsey to prepare something. Okay?'I nod at him offering a grateful smile.
'And, 'he goes on,' Umm.. Here's a tee you can change into and a towel. And, here's the shorts. '
' When did you start to keep  shorts? '
I question laughingly.
' That are the shorts I stole from you. 'He answers in' duh' tone. We have this weird thing  of keeping each other's stuff. I have many of tee, jackets and hats and such stuff. I don't remember when he took my shorts. Must have been. He offers a smile as he leaves.

I smell so much like him. I mean since I used his shampoo which has the minty smell and his shirt which has his unique smell. His tee, as I told you, is soft and comfy and I'm used to it though he has rarely seen me in it.
'J... ' his voices as he steps into the room. I see as his eyes take me in. From head to toe. He smiles before saying,' You look cute. ' I chuckle before muttering a' thank you'.

I gnaw down the food. Manav watches chuckling at me. Soon his mother, Snigdha, steps into the room.
' Hello honey!' She greets me. Snigdha Shetty is a pretty little thing. I know sounds weird since I'm describing Manav's mother but still she's amazing. She is of very broad view and is an amazing mother. I nod and greet her.
'So did you like the party? '
' Yea. It was amazing. Thank you! '
' No problem honey. Happy that his effort was worth enough. So did you drink too much? 'She laughs smirking at me.
' Yea. ' I give her a sheepish grin.
' Anyways, I have to go. Enjoy you guys. ' She smiles before giving me a hug.
