Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 8

"Hey. Whom are you talking to?", Evan's voice made me come out of my frozen state.

"I don't know", I gave his mobile to him and shrugged like its no big deal but inside my mind there was a turmoil going on.

Millions of thoughts were flooding my brain. Every single of them was about him.

Is it him who called Evan? Maybe not, but the voice is exactly like his, a perfect mixture of boyish and manliness. Exactly like his-STOP. Aadhya, what are you thinking? Just stop.

"Hello. Earth to Aadhya", Evan said waving his hands in front of me.

"Sorry, what were you saying", I asked apologetically.

"Are you alright? You spaced out, for like, five minutes", he said with concern.

By the look on his face, I can tell that he is genuinely worried about me.

"Yeah, just tired, I guess", I lied. I tried to control my curiosity, I really did, but I couldn't.

"Hey Evan, who is the unknown person you were talking to", I asked looking as nonchalant as possible.

"He is my friend. He just called to know about the party details", he replied.

"Okay. So, what is his name", I asked praying internally it to be anyone except him.

Please don't be him.

Please don't be him.

Please don't be him.

"He is –", I would have known if it isn't for my lovely friend who decided to grant us her gracious presence at the same time.

Why, God. Why?

"Hey, What are you doing here?", she interrupted Evan.

"Nothing", I replied not wanting to explain everything to her. Evan is clueless but this girl, she would not let go of the matter until she gets everything out of me as to why I'm interested in Evan's friend all of a sudden and I don't want to deal this now.

"Okay, let's go then. I'm hungry. Ice-cream time", she shouted.

This girl never gets tired of Ice-cream.

"Try this on"

"No"

"At least this one"

"Nope"

"Just try any of the dresses you like"

"Not going to happen"

"Aadhya, why are you being such a brat", Ravvs huffed irritatedly.

In all honesty, I know I'm acting like a brat but I'm never going to accept that. Especially, in front of Ravvs. If I do, then I'm never going to hear the end of it.

"I don't know, maybe if you did not drag me here, a stupid store, just because of a stupid party then I wouldn't behave this way", I said and crossed my arms.

"Hey, listen to me. One, this is not a stupid store. It is like the 'awesomest' boutique here.", she said and continued but I interrupted her.

"There is no such word as 'awesomest'"

"Stop interrupting me and listen", she all but shouted.

I nodded.

"Good. Now two, the party is not stupid because Evan is organizing it. So, never call the party stupid. Only I get to say that", she explained like we are discussing about a life or death situation here.
