Rita is the most popular girl on campus. From day one she has been successful in creating popular fashion trends as well as getting the guys to swoon over her. But don't let her beauty fool you because she's one of the most excellent students.
She'...
Divyanka and I went into the living room and sat on the fluffy rug. It was similar to the one Mahir had in his house. The warm colours all around the room complimented Divyanka and Abhishek. There were many photos of them together hung up on the wall. From those photos, I could see that the couple was really in love.
"Divya, if you don't mind may I ask you something?" I say.
"C'mon, dear. You needn't seek permission. Just ask."
I hesitate before asking but how else will I get to know the truth about this whole situation. "You and Mahir are quite close, right?"
She looks at me as if I asked the most stupid question. Then she laughs and begin to answer. "Yes. We are. You already know I'll do anything to make sure Mahir is happy." She said drifting into a daydream. Oh great! Now I didn't know what to say to deviate from the awkward situation. "But don't worry about anything, Rita. Mahir is a brother to me." I smile at her for acknowledging my misery.
"I'm sorry-"
"It's okay. I get it. You guys love each other a lot. And where there's love, how can I not help? Ugh!! Uncle Seghal was so stupid to think Mahir and I would get married."
"Have you guys thought about how you going to get out of the situation?" I ask slightly regretting why I asked. I'm so afraid of that answer.
"We're trying our best with the lawyers. Just being positive!"
"Another thing...Mahir said you're a detective."
"Oh my dream job!!" Divyanka smiles greatly.
"I needed a favour. I'm sorry I keep asking you to do things for me-"
"Okay, stop right there!! I told you we are family. You can ask me for anything you like. Except for my hottie boyfriend Ofcourse!"
"I used to have a sister. Her name is Natasha and I was wondering-"
"I got it covered already but I'm still trying. Don't worry, Mahir told me about it."
"He did?" I was surprised but he said that he would help and here I was thinking that he forgot.
"Yeah. And that's how I know he loves you so much because he'll do anything for your happiness."
"I'm starting to see all of that."
After some time the boys bring the dessert to us in the lounge looking like they've accomplished the world.
Abhishek: And dessert is ready ladies, you want some of this?
Abhishek points to the dessert cup where there's a pancake and ice cream.
Divyanka: Wow!! Can't believe you guys pulled it off. It looks gorge!
Mahir: Wait till you taste it!!
Ritasha: Not to kill your vibe, hun, but looks are deceiving.
Mahir: I very well know that. (Smirks at me)
Divyanka and I take a bite of the dessert and our expressions are replaced by disgust.
Divyanka: What the hell is this? Are you trying to poison us?
Abhishek: Did it work?
Divyanka: Shut up!! And you say my cooking is bad!
Ritasha: Seriously guys, this thing just buggered my taste buds!
Mahir and Abhishek laughs at our disappointment while Ira and I exchange confused looks.
Abhishek: Whatever you say, men are still the best chefs.
Ritasha: And women provide the best dessert!
Divyanka: High-five to that Rita!!
Abhishek: I'm sorry baby. Guess I'm not so grand after all.
Divyanka: Desserts on me tonight, babe.
Divyanka comforts Abhishek with a long kiss and I look at Mahir, whose eyes are already burning with passion and desire.
Mahir: Get a room you too!
Abhishek: Bro, this is our house!
Mahir: Guess we should get going then.
Divyanka: Please do come again guys. We've had so much fun!! Goodnight.
Mahir drives us to his house in the late night. I didn't know when I dozed off in his car. How can that happen when I was so revved up for tonight? I was awakened by the car door opening the car door. He removed my seat belt and carried me out the car, closing the door with his foot.
"Mahir..." I call out to him in my sleepy voice but he doesn't answer.
I put my head on his shoulder and God knows how he still managed to open the door with me in his arms. Few minutes later, Mahir lays me down on the couch and removed my shoes.

He disappears into the kitchen. I try to rub my eyes waking myself up from this tiredness but it doesn't leave. I don't want to hurt Mahir's feeling by telling him we can't when I already displayed so many hints of my desperateness for him. I lay my head back down without thinking anything. He appears after some time.
"Ritasha, let's go upstairs." He says waking me up.
"Ughhh!!!" I exhale in tired frustration. "Am I too heavy to be carried upstairs?" I ask him sweetly, secretly hoping he'd understand my plight.
"No, darling. Come." He scoops me in his arms again turning off the lights downstairs and he takes me up in his room.
"Should I get your luggage?" Mahir asks.
"No. Leave it, I don't need it." He sets me down on the bed. Tell him now, Rita!! "Mahir...not tonight."
"Its okay." He says so normally. Did he already know?
"I'm sorry...I just feel so sleepy-"
"I can see that. You going to sleep in that?" He asks and I realize I'm so dressed up.
I strip off my dress and bra and take off my jewellery placing it on the bedside. "I can sleep now."
Mahir undresses and joins me under the covers, switching off the room light. I move closer to him to cuddle. My hand travels over his chest, down to his abs and further down to his boxers where I felt his bulge.
"Mahir!?" I say in shock.
"It's because of you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't intend-"
"I know. This happened when I watched you undress. You know you have this effect on me even when you're not trying." I felt so bad now knowing that Mahir wanted me but I didn't have the energy to compensate him. "Don't worry, babe. We can do it in the morning." He sighs tightening his grip on my body.
"I promise we will." I tell him knowing that by then my adrenaline will not let me down.
