"HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?! The guy is hot! Like hot hot!" she practically shouted.
I rolled my eyes and pulled away from her. "He isn't that hot."
As I placed the takeout bag on the counter, the doorbell rang.
Chapter 7
Kartik
I reach Aarush’s apartment, instead of ringing the bell I open the door with my spare key to his house, because if I am right that idiot is probably deep in sleep after sending me that text. If he could sleep all day he would. But soon I am proven wrong as I enter the apartment and see that moron sprawled on the couch stuffing his face with snacks. Geez.
“Oh good finally you’re here, you have no idea how hungry I was!” He says it with such relief.
It’s only a wonder how he stays fit because all I know is that he works out. But exactly what is his definition of working out, I’ll never know, nor do I want to.
I shake my head and move towards the kitchen to empty the containers and finally eat when Aarush comes from behind and growls for some reason.
I sigh, I got something wrong or something is missing, “What now?” I ask
He looks at me like I betrayed him, “This isn’t our order”
I look at the bag and indeed this isn't our order, and now I am confused before I realize where our original order actually is….ah shit! I don’t even know where she lives.
Aarush looks pissed, hell even I would be if he got my order wrong.
“You see the thing is,…”
I tell him what all happened and also accidentally reveal to him what all me and Samaira said in the argument, should have just told him we bickered and there’s that.
He gets a confused look on his face before it brightens up, making me confused now.
“Wait this Samaira, is she short, brunette, brown eyes, very pretty” he asks
Still confused, nod my head in a yes, before he starts laughing.
“What? Why are you laughing and how do you know her?” I ask frustrated
“She lives in my building, on the floor above mine, we flirted a bit, she’s cool.” He says casually, shrugging his shoulders .
The ‘we flirted a bit’ somehow doesn’t bode well with me. She shouldn’t be flirting with my best friend. I don’t think she knew he was my best friend otherwise she would havekilled him on the spot. I chuckle, somehow that does help me calm down.
“Since you took the wrong bag, you need to go and change it,” he says with an impassive look on his face. I groan knowing I would have said the same to him. I take the bag and start following him towards her apartment.
Aarush rings the doorbell. I hear footsteps coming towards me and it’s the other girl with Samaira that opens the door.
As soon as she realizes it’s me her face transforms into some sort of devilish smile, “If I didn’t know any better I would say you are following me,” she says in a flirty tone.
I give out a hesitant smile and, “The thing is our takeouts got exchanged, mind exchanging back, I have a really hungry friend to feed” I joke.
“Well come on in and take your food, even I have a hungry friend to feed” she jokes back.
Oh, so they are friends, well at least one is better than the other, whereas the princess is evil incarnate, pretty, but still.
I enter the house before the friend’s eyes narrow and she speaks, “But hold up, how do you know my friend lives?”
I open my mouth to answer but before I can do that she starts to ramble, “I was just joking about the stalking but are you actually stalking my friend, because I swear to God, I’ll have to kill you. But you don’t like a stalker, you look pretty decent” she says as she looks at me up and down as if sizing me to see if she can take on me.
I clear my throat, “I am Kartik Kapadia by the way”
