Aman pov

Kruthi took me on her scooty. I couldn't believe my luck...I observed her from behind for quite a while and suddenly I felt like hugging her tight and wanted to kiss the back of her neck! The urge was so strong that I almost forgot that she didn't love me back. Before I realized,my hands were on her shoulders, squeezing them. Ah! What was I thinking?! Im such a mess.
"Are you alright? Aman?!",she asked, as if reading my mind! "Ah! Ye.. Yeah, you ride this scooter like a horse, you know, it sort of freaks me out! " ,I replied with a hesitant tone. I had to stay alert around her. I can't hide my feelings for long this way!

When we reached the place, she lead me to the first floor and walked me around my new home.

It was a very luxurious four BHK flat, a readily furnished one. Lots of antique show pieces and paintings were on display. A chocolate brown sofa with soft looking cushions, was placed in the centre of the hall which was at a feet and a half depth from rest of the flooring. The light brownish cream colored wall and the false sealing gave a warm and welcoming look to the entire house.

There were four people who occupied the same apartment ,Kruthi, a boy of maybe my age and two pretty girls but none as sexy as Kruthi was. I secretly wished no one was there except her.

She called out to everyone there and introduced me to them. 'Aman!, a newbie in film direction, staying here to complete his direction classes!', she announced....
Then I shook hands and asked about them, individually.

The guy, Aarav Gupta was a FBI agent. He said his dad was one too and so he had inspiration from his early days to become one.

One of the girls was an air hostess , Shwetha Agarwal and the other was a teacher, Mona Singh and worked with that girl... Ahh... Kruthi's friend... .. Aruni!

Yeah so... This was going to be my family for now! We all talked more over the dinner and I seemed to like them.

"Hey... ", Aarav spoke but then stopped abruptly.
"Yeah!Go ahead Aarav. Anything you want to ask? ".
"well, nothing! If you are done eating, I could help you unpack stuffs and settle in your room", he offered. That was really nice of him.
"Oh, but I wouldn't want you to take that trouble...I'll take time off and do it everyday until it's done!".

I wish, Kruthi would asked me the same, I'd get to spend time with her and get to know her better before establishing my love for her.
But why would she ask me? I'm nuts on her, not she!

"Wouldn't be a problem for me, I'm done with my work but if you don't want me to, I shall not force!" , he assured.
"okay! That would be great. Thanks in advance!", I said, realizing I actually needed help.
"Anytime, broh!"
Then there was an awkward silence for a minute and I decided to break it.
"four bedrooms and five people?! How does that work? "
"Well, Shwetha is an air hostess and will not be home mostly. She comes back once in a week and she sleeps on the couch in the hall then. I share my cupboard with her for clothes though!" , Mona spoke.
Her voice was sweet unlike I had heard any ever before. She was short and simple. She didn't look like she earned soo much to afford this place.

Later that night, Aarav helped me unpack things in my room and settle for the day. The direction class started two days later so I had plenty of time to settle, adjust and gather motivation to start up a conversation with 'her'!

Kruthi pov

Aman must have been really scared the way I drove my scooty. He was clenching the edge of my shoulder so hard that for once, I felt current. We had just but I definitely felt something strong for him.
The gentleman will ,without a doubt, steal my heart and tear it into bits, I thought!
He seemed to love the apartment, he looked carefully at each and every object.

And when I introduced him to the flatmates, they all developed an instant liking towards him and he too liked them I'm sure. Shwetha had to go to her duty. But Aarav, Mona, me and Aman had dinner together.
Even before I asked, Aarav offered to help him sort out his stuffs and settle.
So there goes my man to whom I wanted to spend time with and there goes my excuse to do so.

I dint have to, but as I lazily crawled into my bed, I began thinking of ways to look better and impress him as much as I could.

I can't cook well, but definitely I can ask delicious breakfast from Aruni to impress him! Aruni is my lifeline and the best cook I've ever met.
So I texted Aruni that I'll want her to prepare the best local dish for breakfast and a little extra for the new guest!
With that I peacefully drifted to sleep.
