I threw myself on my bed, totally exhausted. It was a long night with three hours long concert followed by countless boring interviews and we even went out for a drink. I looked at my phone screen

5:00 am

I hadn't slept a wink the whole night and right after two hours we had to attend a fan meet. Moreover I was feeling a little tipsy after all that drink. Huff!! I shouldn't have drank.

Putting my phone aside, I closed my eyes. Right then I felt a sharp breath over my face and I instantly opened my eyes only to see Nandini's smiling face in front of me. My breath hitched and I froze at my place. The cold yet warm feeling engulfed me making me feel fuzzy.

"Your performance was over the top Mr. rockstar."She chirped. Damn she looked even more tempting up close. "And damn the reaction of the crowd was so overwhelming. I was there in the crowd. Did you-" She paused abprubtly, probably on realising her position. She was right on top of me with our eyes locked and her face just inches away from me. She immediately got off me.

"Don't look at me like that." She looked away from me, a little flushed.

"And how am I looking at you?" I asked on realising what she had said as I sat upright on the bed. Urghh- why did it feel so cold all of a sudden?

"You know looking at me as if you are in love with me."

I faked a cough on hearing her line. "I - in love with you. Do you think I have gone insane?" Okay at times I did find her a little - just a little tempting but nothing else.

"Ahhhh whatever - I just wanted to tell you that the concert was over the top. I really didn't know you guys were so much popular."

"Now you see the power of us and my voice." I said with a proud smile on my face.

"Well I love the sound of Cabir's drum more though." She said and my smile dropped.

"Why are you always after Cabir? He has a girlfriend for godsake."

"So what if he has a girlfriend? I have the right to admire- Oh wait! are you jealous?" She looked at me with a smug smile.

"No. Never." I denied almost immediately. Why would I be jealous? "I just don't want my friend to be targeted by an annoying ghost."

"You mean annoyingly cute ghost. I understand." She giggled. Huff why in the world did she have a counter remark to each of my words?

"Urghhh- you are just so annoying. Just go away and let me sleep." I laid on the bed, covering myself with a duvet. "And stop obssessing over Cabir."

"Oh poohlease! he ain't my obsession. I just admire him. You see I am just one among his million secret admirers."

I rolled my eyes at her words. "Secret admirer- yeah right - you mean shameless stalker, don't you?"

"You really suck at using words." She laid down right beside me, looking straight into my eyes. I wanted to touch her for no damn reason but I suppressed the urge to do that.

"And you are a pro at doing that." I turned around. What was wrong with me? Aaahhh I guess the alcohol was taking toll over my mind.

"And that's a good thing."
