Chapter 15

NAINA's POV

*** 3 weeks later **********

My tour was ending and I felt kind of sad. I had gained a lot more confidence due to the performances and the feeling of being on stage, making everyone happy was incredible.
My last performance will be tomorrow in California, after I was done I had planned on staying here for a while. It really makes me feel like home.

Me and Niall have been talking a lot lately. He would always send me pictures with him and the boys enjoying and it would always make me laugh. He had told me we might meet up in California and I was hoping that it would happen. I am always so happy when I'm around him.

Jackie had rented a hotel and I was going to stay with my cousin; Akash. As I sat in the taxi I could hardly contain my excitement. He was like my best friend, I could tell him anything. The best part was that I didn't tell him I was coming so I could surprise him, I just hope he's home.

I arrived at the apartment and payed the taxi man. I grabbed my bags and ran up the stairs to the front of his apartment door. "Please be home" I murmured to myself as I rang the door bell. A little while later a sleepy and shirtless Akash opened the door.

"Surprise!!!!!!" I squealed. His eyes changed from sleepy to happy.

"OMG I can't believe your here" he said wrapping me in a tight hug,making me unable to breathe.

"I-I c-can't breathe" I said. "Oh ya, sorry bout that" he let go and motioned for me to come inside.

This place was actually very nice. I thought I would have been a mess but it was perfectly clean. I sat on the couch, making myself at home,while Akash came and sat next to me. This is the only place I have ever been able to be myself.

"When did you get here ?" He asked me.

"At 1:00, but me and Jackie decided to go eat first and then I grabbed a taxi and came here" I said smiling.

"Jackie?" he said dragging out the 'e'

"Oh I forgot to tell you, she's my manager for the dancing shows I do" pulling out my phone, I showed him some videos that Jackie had took of me dancing.

"That's awsome!!! I wish I could have seen this stuff" he pouted.

"Well your in luck, tomorrow is my last performance, you can come if u want"

"Oh course I'm gonna come !!!!!" He responded, as I laughed.

"Why were you sleeping at 3 in the afternoon"i asked him as I looked around the room. There was a huge flat screen tv and the walls were almost a dark cherry color, that kind of looked like if I touched it I would get poisoned.

"Well, I had work till like 10:00 and then my friends had a party and I ended up staying there till 4 in the morning"

"Ohhh" I said, not knowing what else to say. I should tell him that I didn't tell my parents about the dancing thing.

"Um, I didn't tell my parents that I was doing these shows, so please don't tell them" I said nervously. He laughed.

"Have I ever told on you before?" He asked,still laughing. I shook my head.

We sat there a while in silence, it wasn't awkward though. Finally Akash switched on the tv and turned to a random show, stopping on one that we used to watch a lot; Dance India Dance.

We used to watch this show so much. When we were younger my parents went to his house a lot. It was always so fun. While the parents sat in the living room talking, we would run off to his room and turn on the tv, putting on indian songs. Then we would dance together, he would dance the guys part and I would the woman's part.

I also remember the awkward moments When the actors would pick each other up or kiss, we would just stand on our sides,awkwardly just looking around.

There was one time when he had started going to the gym, so that made him think he was so powerful. Moreover, when in the tv the guy picked the girl up, he picked me up!!! Then he accidentally let go so I fell and broke my toe. we couldn't tell our parents we were dancing cuz then they would never let us do it again. So, instead, Akash told them that I slipped on the water while I was coming out of the bath tub. such weird times. I smiled at my thoughts, so many memories.

"Why r u smiling like an idiot?" He asked, looking at me through the corner of his eye.

"Nothing, just thinking about the old times" I sighed. He furrowed his eyebrows, questioning what I meant.

"Don't you remember, we used to dance in front of the tv all day and then make little shows for everyone?" I asked.

"Ohhhh" he answer laughing.

"That was so fun and awkward at the same time" he smiled.

We turned our attention towards the tv again and starting watching. Just then my phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and tapped on the message to find there was one from Niall.

"Who are you texting, you've been on your phone for like 10minutes now"

"Umm, he's my friend,Niall"

"He? Friend?"

" Yes I met him at one of my shows and we hung out for a while, we are only friends nothing else" I clarified, knowing him, he would take things the wrong way.

"Mhm" he said smirking.

"Stop it!" I playfully scolded him.
---------------------
" I'm tired" I complained, we were out at the grocery store and we had been here for so long. I looked like a little kid begging his mom to take him home.

"Ur such a baby, go wait in line, I'll be right there" he said walking away. I rolled my eyes and headed towards the register pushing the cart in front of me.

I started to put the things in front of the cashier and finally I saw Akash running towards me.

"Good timing" I said.

"Thank you, malady" he said smiling and taking a bow,as he put the pack of cookies on the table. seriously, that's what he went to get.

After paying,We were walking to the car, when I saw two little sisters talking and laughing together. I smiled, but also felt my eyes get glossy, I miss her a lot these days. Akash noticed me watching them and gave me a hug. everyone in our family knew about it, but Akash was the only one that helped me get through the Lonely times.
----------------------------

"Which room do I sleep in? " I asked. I was so tired and needed to go to sleep before I started getting angry at every little thing.

"The one on the left" he calls out from the kitchen.

"Ok, good night" I hollered back.
