Fates

Part 92- The Ways Of Fate

"Oh, nothing!!!" Shahana yelled pushing Aryan off of the couch, and onto the floor, as he leaned in for another kiss. And since he was now fallen to the floor, his face could not be seen.

"He was just bothering me.... saying stuff like this is his house.... and he could sit anywhere he wanted.... even though I told him.... that this was your seat." Shahana said out of breath for reasons unknown to Prachi, blushing red like a tomato, Aryan now getting up from the floor.

"Was that it? Then why do you look like you ran a marathon or something? You all flushed and out of breath." Prachi asked looking at Shahana weirdly, oblivious to what was happening, while Ranbir and Riya shared a look, trying to keep from laughing as they realized what had happened while they were gone.

And when Aryan got up from the floor and they saw his face, their mouths hung open in shock, but then slowly turned into proud smiles, thankfully Prachi was so focused on Shahana that she didn't look at Aryan.

"Oh, that is because... I was trying to push him off the couch.... and it took a lot of strength.... that's why I'm like.... this." Shahana said with a deep blush coloring her cheeks, feeling so very guilty for lying.

"Really Aryan why did you have to bother Shahana like that?" Prachi asked shaking her head, believing Shahana's lie, about to look at Aryan, but Riya reacted quickly and came to stand in front of Prachi.

"Excuse us, me and Ari have something to talk about, we'll be back." Riya said quickly grabbing Aryan's hand to lead him upstairs, not letting Prachi see his face for some reason.

While they left, Prachi watched them go in confusion, Shahana watched them go with an embarrassed smile, and Ranbir just looked impressed.

"Yaar, Ri, what are you doing?" Aryan said in a whiney voice, as Riya walked him to her room, stopping in front of the dressings mirror, without saying a word.

"What am I doing, are you really asking me that? What are you doing? Look at your face, you idiot." Riya said with a chuckle as she turned Aryan's face to face the mirror.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Aryan said with a dreamy chuckle as he looked at his face which was covered in lipstick marks.

"Oh yeah sure, here wipe your face before we go back down." Riya said with a chuckle of her own, handing Aryan one of her makeup removal wipes.

"Thanks, but why did you literally drag me in here, since when did you start caring about stuff like this? Everyone downstairs already knows about me and Shahana." Aryan asked confused as he started to clean his face.

"Pikachu doesn't know yet, and she's like Shahana's sister, I didn't want her to find out when you're like this." Riya said gesturing to Aryan's face, having a hard time controlling her laughter.

"Wait, what? How do know that Prachi doesn't know?" Aryan asked confused, as he threw the makeup wipe away.

"Remember when I gave you the dare of dancing with Shahana, she said that she had to complete the dare only because it was a dare, and then she looked towards Pikachu to see if she believed her." Riya said elaborating on what she had noticed.

"Damn, since when did you become Sherlock Holmes?" Aryan asked jokingly.

"It was simple really because if Pikachu knew about your and Shahana's relationship, she would've never left you two alone in one room." Riya said with a chuckle.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aryan asked pretend offended.

"Oh, nothing... it's just that Pikachu didn't leave me alone with whiskey so why would she leave you alone with Shahana, her sister, especially if you do stuff like that when she's not there." Riya said jokingly, raising an eyebrow while giving Aryan a teasing smile.
