Rihan POV

"Where are you Rihan? Why you are not answering mom's call? I came here to meet you this morning, be at Starbucks after your college (45 West 4th Street), I will finish my shopping and see you there! Bye love you" Jane texted me

"Hey Jane, I hope you are not alone, I have few seminars to attain today so you better go to my apartment and do rest, I know you have the emergency key with you take care bye" I texted

"It looks like you have done shopping for next 5 Christmas today only Jane!" I closed the door behind me.

"She chuckles, I wish I could bro, but I don't have that much time, you look tied how your day was? She hugged me"

"It was good, have you eaten something?"

"No I am not hungry, just need a Frothy coffee, I am feeling lazy, you know that's what I feel after a little shopping! We both laughed showing our perfect teeth"

"Sure, I'll take a shower and you go get ready, we are going out for the evening" I announced

"Doorbell ringed"

"Coming" Jane went

"Hey, beautiful how are you doing? Chris kissed softly on her lips as she opened the door"

"She Chuckled, I am good Chris, we should be careful, Rihan is home okay so control please"

"Of course I will try, but it's hard you know, he half-smiled by gazing at Jane"

"Hey buddy," I said

"Hey, so where are we heading?" Chris asked

"I am missing my Frothy coffee from morning, we will go for Starbucks first" Jane said

"Sounds great, but still you haven't changed your clothes, Jane?" I asked

"I don't need to I am comfortable in my pajamas" She exclaimed

"We went inside the café. A man came and took us towards a private table, which I already booked on the way"

"It's a very beautiful and private place of the café with fewer people around and a office glass on the other side of the table, wherefrom inside you can see the people out but they can't see you in, I always like to have privacy during spending time with family and friends.

"I ordered one Venti White Mocha, one Venti Espresso solo, & one Tall Frothy coffee"

"How are mom and dad doing Jane?" I asked

"They are good, but mom is concerned about you because you haven't been receiving her calls from last week" she said

"I know, but I was busy with my stuff so" I whispered

"She hold my hand on the table, hey I heard about Stephanie, She is a real bitch for cheating on you, you deserve someone better bro believe me!"

"I don't know, love is not my cup of tea anymore, I just need to focus on my career and dads business afterward"

"Woo, look who is there" Chris said

"We looked towards the glass door"

"Vedhika and Alisha, I don't understand why Vedhika is dating nick, man?" Chris said disappointedly.

"She looks so classy, I love her dressing style, her unique features, gosh those silky straight hairs, You guys know I have to pay for those type of hairs and there she has it all for free" Jane exclaimed

"Whatever she does is none of our business Chris, I said by gazing at her for a while"

"Oh gosh I even love the view of Frothy, it looks yummy isn't it..." Jane said

"Chris & I smiled sheepishly by looking at the waiter"

How is your college-going on Jane? I asked

Amazing, we are going for a trip next month Rihan, hey why don't you both join us?

"No, I have office stuff to finish, you enjoy" I said

"I also cannot join you Jane, sorry" Chris said

"That's fine, we are a lot of people, and I will rarely miss you both" she said

"Let's go now, (I don't want to see her, gosh why she is looking at me like that?)" I felt nervous

Vedhika POV

"Alisha, can you believe only 6 months are remaining then we will be celebrating our convocation, I am so excited" I said

"Yes, it makes me feel sad, after that we will get busy in our jobs and other stuff, anyways so your mom is coming right in the convocation? Alisha asked

"Yes, she is coming and I am very excited about it" I said

"Pull the door, Pull-Pull Alisha, it's written over there Pull it I told her and can't stop my laugh as she is trying to push it badly"

"Fine happens, no need to laugh, and where is nick?

"He must be around somewhere, let's order first"

"We stand at the queue, and I ordered 1 Tall Frothy Coffee, 1 Tall Chocolate Shake."

"Hey beautiful, how are you? Nick kept his hand on my waist from behind"

"I am all good, what about your busy day how was it?" I asked

"Common baby, I was just busy with my stuff you know" He defended himself

"I leaned towards him, and whispered to his ear, Lisa must have given you a fucking great time darling isn't it?"

"He frowned, Vedhika I am...I mean listen..."

"You listen now, feel free to anyone from now onwards because I am done with you"

"Let's go, Alisha, we turned around and I saw Rihan, he was walking out of the place with Chris and a girl who I don't know, she gave me a wide smile and I also smiled back to her but Rihan, I don't understand why not for once he ever notice me anywhere. What is his problem with me?

"What you have just done Vedhika? Are you seriously doing break-up with Nick? Alisha asked

"I sat inside the car, yes honey and chill he is an asshole, I know how to handle him, and I winked at her"

"But why I mean what just happened? What's going on will you please tell me?" She asked again

"He is enjoying his stuff with Lisa, so I thought I should better make him free so he can enjoy it more openly" I shared

"Oh my gosh, he is an asshole, he has been cheating over you all this time" Alisha said

"Yes I know, and now I am done with fake relationships, its only 6 months pending, I need to apply for jobs also now let's focus on that"

"How cool you are, it doesn't hurt you? You were never serious about nick right?" Alisha asked

"No, I am not hurt, and we both were never serious in this relationship" I confirmed.

"I stopped the car, go bring your stuff I am waiting here, we have a party tonight in my apartment and you are the only precious guest I have"

"She chuckled, yes 10 mints"
