It was a long weekend. I was alone and I loved it. I completed the series that I had been watching for a long time now. I pampered myself by having a little saloon time. I had pizzas. I was totally enjoying myself. I always dreamed of having a weekend like this.

It was almost the end of Sunday. I had cleaned my room which took the entire day. I was exhausted. I was I wanted to make a simple dinner. I decided to make Maggi. When I was busy in the kitchen making Maggie, I heard the doorbell ring. It must be Divya I thought. I went to opened the door.  I was shocked to see the person standing in front of me. It was Arjun Sharma.

"Hey you!", he said with a deep voice. He was wearing white t-shirt and dark blue jeans with his hair perfectly gelled. Whereas I was in my old pjs with pasta all over. I was so tired that I didn't change after I dropped pasta in the afternoon.

"Hi", I said with a little fumble in my voice.

"I need you to help me", he said.

"Why? I mean what's the problem?"

"Divya and Shivin are in the car. They are so drunk that I can't get them here alone. I need you to help me."

"Sure", I said. I went into the kitchen and turned off the gas, locked the door and went with him. It was very awkward in the elevator. Neither of us didn't know what to talk. I was standing there biting my nails whereas he was constantly setting his hair. Both of could breathe when we got off the elevator.

We went to the car. I tried to hold Divya who was drunk as a skunk. She kept giggling and blabbering things that no one understood. Shivin was also pretty much on the same page. It was very difficult for me to take Divya home as she was not even able to stand properly. But some how I managed to carry her till the elevator. She was talking too much and I hated that. We somehow managed to take both of them home. We took them to the bedroom and they passed out. They were not going to wake up till the morning.

So it was just us -  Arjun and me. I didn't know what to say. I was a little nervous.

"Whatcha cooking? I smell Maggie," he said sniffing like a dog.

"Yeah! Wait I'll get us plates", I said. I was a little annoyed, I made it for myself. Now I have to share the little morsel that I made for myself with him.

"No, I'm on diet. I can't have it", he said. Wow I was happy. "But since you are insisting I'll have a bite."

When did I insist I thought to myself. He was shameless, I mean who does that to a person they hardly know. I was annoyed. I dragged myself into the kitchen and got us the plates.

"Loved it!!", he said eating like a child. "Can I get some more?"

"Aren't you supposed to be on a diet?", I asked. "I mean sports persons are very strict with whatever they eat. Aren't you supposed to do that?"

"Yeah but sometimes I cheat, that's fine. I will do extra cardio tomorrow", he said and started taking bites from my plate. I was annoyed, I gave him the plate. "Thanks Aaradhya!", he said.

What the hell! He took my name wrong. What am I supposed to do? I was angry and pissed. How am I supposed to react?

"Adhya. It's Adhya", I said irritated.

"But Aaradhya suits you. You look more Aaradhya than Adhya. How can you not know that? Change your name, change it to Aaradhya. It suits you", he said with a dragging tone.

"Why on earth should I do that. My name is Adhya and I'm very happy with it. Is it okay if I call you Saran? Will you like it?"

"Yuck, your taste sucks. Saran! It doesn't vibe well. Think of something better"

All I can think about is my dinner that he's eating. I was hungry and pissed. How can a person be so shameless?

"Did you not have dinner?", I mumbled softly .

"You said something?", he asked lifting his head up from the plate.

"I mean you guys went on a trek right? How did Divya and Shivin get drunk?"

"Oh we went wine tasting and they had tasted too much wine", he said winking.

"Didn't you go with them?"

"Oh no I was with them. But I don't drink. I have a feeling that drinking might affect my performance. So I don't drink"

I was impressed. I had a faint smile on my face. He noticed that and asked.

"What are you smiling about? Did you fall for my charm?"

"If everyone in this world is going to die and you and I are only left, even then I will not fall for your charm"

"Ahah a very used one, try something new like I will try to shield myself or guard myself"

"What are you, a wizard?"

"I might be one and you'll never know. Actually I might be a vampire and you will fall in love with me..."

"I have watched Twilight, so don't worry"

"You are cute", he said looking into my eyes.

"Sorry? What?"

"I mean you are cute in a different way like a teddy bear. I just had your dinner and you didn't even say anything. You are kind. If I were you I don't know what I would have done. I mean we hardly know each other. No one would have even entertained this."

I was glad that he noticed that he had my food. And I was actually happy that he said I was cute. I was blushing inside. Obviously I didn't show it on my face. There was an awkward moment of pause when his phone rang. He answered.

"Hey, got to go. Thanks for the dinner. Loved it. Now have to do extra cardio tomorrow. But this is worth it. Meet you soon Aaradhya! Oops, Adhya"

"Bye had a nice time talking to you", I smiled. He left and I closed the door.

I went and checked on Divya and Shivin. They were fast asleep.

I went into my room. I laid down on my bed. I was watching the fan rotate. I was thinking about Arjun. Why didn't I want him to leave? Was I enjoying his company? Was I impressed with him? There were a lot of questions that were unanswered. I didn't feel like finding an answer. I didn't feel like complicating things. I was happy and wanted to live this moment. I closed my eyes with a smile on my face.
