The Carefree Best Friends: Book 1 (Completed)

Chapter Five

Varun's POV
Just as I was going to sleep Sidharth messages me asking for Shraddha's number. I was really sleepy so I quickly sent it. I know I should've asked Shraddha first but my sleep over powered me.

Alia's POV
It's 3:00 am and I am awoken by Varun's loud snoring. I tap him once, twice and even three times to try tell him to stop snoring but I'm ignored. I then shout and wake him up. "VARUN!"

He wakes up "what happened?!" He asks.

"Can you stop snoring so loud I can't sleep." I state.

He mumbles something and drifts of to sleep again. I soon fall asleep and then was awoken by Varun. "Can you stop kicking me!" He says.

This then continues all night me telling him to stop snoring and him telling me to stop kicking him.

In the morning.....

"Good morning Alu!" Shraddha says happily.

"Ugh what's so good about it?!" I say crankily because of the lack of sleep I've had.

"Don't be so rude yaar. Where's Varun?!"

Before I answer her he walks to the dining room yawning. "I'm so tired." He says.

Shraddha stares confused. "Your both so sleepy what did you do all night?!" She laughs.

"Shraddha shut up!" I shout.

She suddenly gets a message and starts blushing I wonder who she is texting.

"Why has your face suddenly turned red like a tomato?" I ask.

"Oh nothing." She says casually then walks into her room without looking up from her phone.

I turn to Varun. "Today I'll sleep in the sitting room. I'm so beauty sleep deprived."

"You're not the only one! Let me make it up to you by making my famous pancakes!"

"OK then."

He mixes the batter and pours it in to a pan. He makes a fresh stack of pancakes and the smell is so good. I spread Nutella on mine and sprinkle chopped strawberries on top. We eat our pancakes when Shraddha comes down the stairs, decked up. She's wearing a knee length flowery dress and has a full face of make up. She's wearing 5 inch heels. Why is she so dressed up at 11 o'clock?

"Where are you off to?" I ask.

"Oh just meeting a friend for brunch. I'll be back in a few hours." She replies.

"Who's this friend?" I ask.

"Omg Alia why are you being so nosy yaar?" She rolls her eyes.

"So now you're keeping secrets from your best friend?"

"Alia you know I would tell you if it was important, right? It's no one. Now stop worrying and eat your pancakes."

She grabs her bag and walks out.

"Unbelievable!" I say to myself.

Shraddha's POV
I get out the car and walk into Norah's Cafe as fast as I can. "Hi" I say as I get to the table.

"Hey Shraddha." Sidharth says smiling.

I sit opposite him and we both order a delicious  brunch. We started talking as we eat our brunch.

"So do you live with your parents?" He asks.

"No..I live with my best friend. Who is now married."

"Oh so you must feel a little awkward living with a married couple." He says.

"No not at all actually. They're not exactly in a relationship it was an accident." I state.

"Oh wait how can marrying someone be an accident?!" He asks confused.

"Ok so let me explain it to you.........." I tell him the whole situation and he bursts into laughter.

"So they have to live together for 6 months?" He says.

"Yep."

"Sid you know the guy..... it's Varun!" I exclaim.

"What! Seriously!" He says shocked.

"So what do you like to do in your free time?" I ask.

"Have a lazy day. Like having a movie marathon." He says.

I gasp. "Omg yaar! That's what I do."

"We should do it together one day...."

"Definitely." I smile

Alia's POV

I was really bored without Shraddha and Varun was just watching TV'. I decided to make some pasta as I was feeling a little hungry.

"Um Alia, Kabhi Khushi Khabi Gham is on TV come join me." Varun says.

I then put some pasta in a plate and sit in the living room. For like an hour we laugh our heads off at Kajol's comedy.

Suddenly I hear the sound of heels clicking.
"Where have you been for the past 4 hours?!" I say turning my head towards the apartment door.

"I was just with a friend Alu!" Shraddha defends herself. She then looks at her phone again and goes into her room.

"What is wrong with her?!" Varun asks. I shrug.

"We have to find out....." a few seconds later Alia squeals. "I have a plan so........."

Who do you think Shraddha's texting?
Do you think Alia and Varun will find out? Will Alia and Varun become close? Will Alia's plan work?
