Friends At First Sight √

Old but still one of my favourites.
Song : 'Fight Song' -  Rachel Platten.

ALESSIA'S POV.

Asher was shirtless as he had a very naked Cassandra against the wall kissing her violently all the while his hands roamed her body.

They were so busy that they didn't even heard me open the door. I slowly backed away closing the door and started running towards the entrance of the house. Tears started building in eyes as the picture of him and that bitch kept on replaying in my head.

I bumped into someone to see it was Armaan. He had a can of beer in his hand and was talking to some group of guys. All the eyes were on me now. He looked at me.
" Excuse me guys " he then turned to me pulling me aside from the grinding crowd. " Hey,  are you okay?  Did someone hurt you or told you anything" he asked getting angry at the last part.  Alia once told me how Armaan is very protective and caring for the people he is close to.

Just hearing him ask that broke the dam I was holding as I wrapped my arms around his shoulder and cried on his chest dampening his shirt. He froze for a moment before wrapping his arms around me and stroking my hair in a soothing manner.

When I calmed he took me to a  balcony that was quiet and away from the chaos down.
" Now tell me,  what's wrong? Who hurt you? " he says in a calm tone.

I sigh before telling him everything -about my feelings towards Asher and the incidents where he made me feel that he too likes me. And also about the free porn that I just witnessed. 

He listened patiently to all my rambling not disturbing me once.

Once I finished talking he sighed loudly.
" Look, I know that kid since childhood and trust me when I say this he doesn't do relationships. I know that came out harsh but you need to know this before you get more hurt ." I nodded giving him a weak smile. He continued as he ran his hand through his hair .
" But seriously though as much as I know that idiot he does has a soft spot for you. I even thought you will be the one who is gonna change that idiot. "

" I don't know Armaan , but I have never felt such strong feelings towards anyone " I say playing with the ends of my hair.

" Trust me Alia is always behind him to make him stop his player ways. They occasionally fight over this as Asher says ' I don't wanna just 'live' my life but enjoy it' " air quoting the last part and rolling his eyes.

We sat there in silence not saying anything  , when a question crossed my mind
" Don't you have a crush or a girlfriend?  I mean you are an appealing man to be honest.  Not that I'm hitting on you or anything " mumbling the last part incoherently.

He let's out a loud laugh before
  " You remind me so much of Alia sometimes.  Well no I don't have a girlfriend but about crush,  yeah I have a small crush on Anna " he says blushing while scratching his head slightly at the last part. I stifle my giggles. Honestly it was a very unusual view to see such a intimidating guy blush.

" Anna?  Who is she? " I ask scrunching my eyebrows in confusion. 
" Well....Anna from Frozen" he says innocently. OH MY GOD. This is hilarious and cute at the same time. This time I don't stop my giggles and let them out resulting in me laughing like a maniac. He just blush more in return. I control myself before giving him a apologetic smile.

Armaan insisted in dropping me home since I didn't brought my car as I carpooled with Alia.  Talking about Alia where was she?  I will ask her on Monday. 

We reached my place, as I was about to exit his car, I turned towards him and gave him a tight hug,
" Thank you so much Armaan for helping me through this.  I don't know what I could do if it wasn't you comforting me " I say. 
" Hey,  come on no need to thank. And listen,  whenever you need help or anything just call me " he says flashing me a smile. I smile back and exit the car waving at him when his car took off.  I sighed as I entered my empty house.
