Shanaya Oberoi
Too much embarrassment for a day!
God! What was I even thinking while saying that?
Hot?
He does really look hot!
But that doesn't mean I bluntly admit it on his face.
He cleared his throat and said "Where do you have to go?"
The moment my eyes laid on him I started laughing.
"You're blushing! I never knew you could blush." I said between my laughs.
He looks so cute!
"I never thought I am going to see the great Aarav Kapoor blushing." I said and started laughing again.
"That's enough for today. Just tell me where do you have to go. Otherwise I am kicking you out of my car this instant." He said glaring at me.
"As if I am scared of you. You've gave your word to Daksh that you are going to take care of me." I said wiggling my brows.
"This is why I call you an annoying kid!" He muttered.
"I choose to ignore that Dr. kapoor.I'll show you the way to the orphanage." I said glaring back at him.
Jerk!
"Why do you want to take responsibilties of this child?" He asked keeping his focus on the road.
"Take the first right turn." I directed him.
"I kind of feel responsible for her. She is the first baby I have delivered, you know. Her mother ran away. I could not do anything about it. But I just want to make sure she has a secured future. That is the least I could do." I said looking at the baby with a smile and caressing her cheek.
I looked at him to see him with a very micro smile on his face.
"Is that a smile I see on your face, Dr.Kapoor?" I asked smiling.
"What is it with you? Is my name to difficult to pronounce. My mom & Dad both are Dr. Kapoor's. Just call me by my name Dr. Oberoi." He said.
"Ohh and all the time you call me Dr.Oberoi you expect me to call you by your first name. Not happening!" I said huffing.
"Whatever." He rolled his eyes.
"What's your name?" He asked and I looked at him shocked.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I swear you'll be a dead body if you really don't know my name." I said glaring at him.
"Now, I am not the trustee of your college. Shanaya?" He asked me teasing.
What's wrong with him today?
He is teasing me?
"You are okay right? You did not get exchanged somewhere na?" I asked him smiling.
"When I first met you, you were like a rock absolute expressionless and now look at you teasing me and stuff, huh?" I said wiggling my brows.
"Rock? Seriously? That's what you thought of me?" He asked shaking his head disappointedly.
"Take a left and then we'll be there." I said to him.
We reached the orphanage and we both got in. We did all the formalities and while leaving her over there I don't know why I just felt like a lump was forming in my throat. I blinked back my tears and started walking out with Aarav tailing behind me.
We sat in the car and our whole ride was silent. Not the awkward one but the comfortable one.
I don't know why I feel comfortable around him. As if I am knowing him since years.
He parked the car and I got down.
"Umm.. Sir, Thank you for today." I said to him while we were headed towards the elevator.
"I won't accept this thank you of your's" He said with a straight face looking ahead.
"Back to your expressionless self!" I said huffing.
"You never listen to me completely, Shanaya. I said I won't accept it because you are giving it to your sir. I would definitely like to hear you thanking Aarav and not your sir." He said emphasizing on the word sir.
I grinned at him and said "Thank you, Aarav."
"I don't think you need to thank me." He said turning towards me and giving me a smile.
"Yeah! Today's date should be engraved in golden words. The almighty Dr. Aarav Kapoor decided to smile at me." I said dramatically.
"I still find you an annoying kid, Oberoi." He said rolling his eyes.
"And I still find you a jerk." I said scowling.
"I thought you found me expressionless?" He asked raising his brows.
"Yeah! There are lots and lots of adjectives for you. You'll come to know about them eventually." I said shrugging and the elevator dinged.
I got out of the elevator and walked towards my apartment. I punched the code, turned around and called
"Aarav."
He turned around and looked at me raising his brow.
Stop being this handsome!
"You should smile more often. You look cute with a smile on." I said giggling and went in closing my door with a thud.
I was just boling noodles when my phone started ringing.
"Hello, old man." I answered the call giggling.
"I am not that old!" He whined.
"Okay, you're not. By the way how did you call me in your office hours?" I asked him looking at the time.
"Actually, I wanted to tell you that we have to attend a function on weekend. So come home, Shana."
He said
"Function? What function? If it is some business function, I am not goin— i started but was soon cut off by my dad.
"Shana, it is not some business function. Actually there is a party held at Kapoor mansion because it is Mr. & Mrs. Kapoor's 35th anniversary." He said and I was confused.
Mr. & Mrs. Kapoor?
"Kapoor as in Dr.Aarav Kapoor's parents?" I asked to confirm my doubt.
"Yess. So, come home on friday directly after your duty." He said.
"Okay, dad. I'll talk to you later."
I said and hung up. I just put off the stove and I was greeted by the most dreadful site. I screamed at the top of my lungs and just then the doorbell rang.
My saviour!
I ran towards the door as if my life depended on it. Quickly I opened the door and saw Aarav standing over there.
I pulled him inside by holding his wrist and he just stood there confused.
"What's wrong with you, woman?" He asked me annoyed.
"Thank god! You are here on time. Otherwise I was going to die today." I exclaimed.
"What? Is everything okay? I just came to return your sling you forgot it in my car." He said with a frown etched on his face.
"Leave that sling. Come with me." I said snatching the sling bag from his hand and throwing it somwehere on the couch. I held his hand again and dragged him towards the kitchen.
"What are you upto? Can you tell me atleast?" He asked annoyed but I gave no fucks to him and kept on dragging him.
When we reached the kitchen, I left his wrist and turned towards him.
"Can you see there behind me on the wall?" I asked and confused he scanned his eyes all over the kitchen and when finally his eyes landed on what I was talking about he looked at me and was trying really hard not to laugh.
"You're scared of the lizard?" He asked stiffling his laugh.
"Eeww! Don't even take the creepy creatures name in front of me. Just do something about it. Otherwise I am sure as hell going to die due to high blood pressure!" I said huffing.
And what did he do?
He started laughing.
So ladies and gentlemen this is another one of the reasons I call him a jerk!
