Shades of Life

Drunk Me! Part-2

The car stopped in front of my building apartment. Richa and I got out of the car stumbling because we are tipsy and sleepy.

“Bye guys, had an amazing night. See you all on Monday and you Aisha, meet us soon” I hollered waving them bye, raising my hand high in the air.

“Bye guys” Richa yelled at them too, standing beside me.

We looked at each other and started laughing.

Both of us are so alike.

Our mind works the same.

Oh, she must be my soul sister.

But what about Mona?

Umm, that’s a thinker.

“I’ll drop them and come up” we heard Aarav say sighing and got out of the car.

Awe, isn’t he a cutie.

“You don’t need to do that, we are big girls” Richa said nodding and wobbled before wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

I nodded agreeing with her. We are capable was walking to our apartment, we are feminist.

“Oh I’m sure, you guys can but let me see Akshara’s apartment. I’ve never been there” Aarav said wrapping his arm around our shoulder, pulling us apart.

“I’ll park the car up front” Ashish said pointing towards the empty space at front.

Aarav nodded and turned us towards the building.

“Aarav, aren’t you sweet” Richa said sighing happily.

“Yes” I nodded enthusiastically wrapping my arm around his back meeting Richa’s arm.

“Thank you ladies” He grinned and dragged us towards the escalator.

“Which floor?” Aarav asked me.

“8th” I said leaning my head against the elevator wall. I’m so sleepy and at the same time hungry. Everyone ate at the pub but I didn’t eat much. The taste was very different for me. I like home food more than hotel food. My favorite cuisine in Indian, I don’t like other country food because they use cheese a lot and I don’t like it. So travelling to other countries or going out for Italian or sushi has always been a headache for me.

Though I like expensive stuff, I’m very simple. I’m happy as long as wherever we go is clean. I like street food more than any other food. Chats are my absolute favorite. Tomorrow, I should go outside and eat chats to my heart’s content.

Elevator door opened and we got out. I stumbled when my heels got stuck in the space between the elevator door.

“Hey, easy” I heard Aarav’s voice before he wrapped his arm around my waist to stop me from plummeting to the ground. I don’t think my face would look good after kissing the floor.

“Sorrrrryy” I sang standing straight.

“What in the world-“ I heard a loud voice and looked up to see a man standing in front of us.

“Bro?”

“Varun”

Richa and Aarav said at the same time and I slapped my palm on my forehead.

“Not you again, oh come on” I groaned hiding my face in Aarav’s chest as his arm was still wrapped around my shoulder. For some reason, I’m comfortable being this close to him. He never gave bad vibes so far and also since I’ve been working with him and seen him every day from the past few days, I see him as an Asexual.

That’s just my simple thinking mind doing its mediocre work.

“What is going on here?” I heard Varun’s hard voice.

“Bro, what are you going here at 1 in the morning?” Aarav asked flabbergasted.

“Yeah what are doing here haa? Haven’t you done enough” I yelled all of a sudden scaring Aarav who moved back and stumbled up front. Before I could kiss the floor, a hand wrapped around my waste again.

Why the hell am I stumbling so much?

Maybe I should remove my heels.

Argh! I’m so tired.

I looked up and came face to face with Varun.

Woah, up front he is so beautiful. His lashes are so long, that’s so unfair. Why the hell are his lashes so long? My lashes are non-existent.

I want to touch it, what if he has a fake face filters on?

That’s deceitful.

I touched his lashes, they felt silky on my fingers. They are so soft.

“What are you doing?” He asked looking down at me.

“Um, checking your lashes. Duh” I said tilting my head.

“Okay, I’ll talk to you tomorrow about this brother. Our friends are waiting downstairs; I have to go” Aarav said before walking towards my apartment.

“No, wait for me. Don’t leave me with this monster with cute lashes” I yelled and pushed out of Varun’s hold and followed Aarav who was holding Richa. I stumbled a little and Varun caught my arm before I strain my ankle.

I should really remove my heels.

“Keys Aksh” Aarav asked forwarding his palm.

I placed my sling bag on his palm. He sighed and started searching for my key. I leaning my head back, my back hurts. I leaned against a strong stiff wall. How is Varun holding my arm from behind when I’m leaning against a wall.

Gosh, miracles do happen.

Aarav opened the door and Richa started clapping.

“Bravo” She congratulated him on his victory.

I joined her too.

“Okay, that’s enough. You guys get inside and go to your rooms and sleep” Aarav said walking inside. I followed them.

“Do you want to sleep in my room or guest room?” I asked her before sitting on the sofa and started removing my heels.

Ah! The satisfaction I felt when I removed the heels. It feels so good. I moaned in happiness.

I heard a laugh and looked up.

“You shouldn't moan like that Aksh” Aarav said chuckling and I stuck my tongue out at him.

“I’ll take the guest room” I heard Richa who started walking towards it stumbling and walking straight. Aarav took a step to help her but she took hold of the wall and entered the room.

I sighed and looked at the two guys in my living room.

“Aren’t you going?” I asked them with a straight face.

“Rude Aksh, after all the fun we had today this is how you treat me?” He asked me with a smile.

I’m confused. Is he happy or offended?

Am I turning into Sheldon Cooper?

That would be so cool.

“Fine” I sighed and got up, ah my feet feel so good and stumbled towards him.

“Thank you, had a great time tonight” I said wrapping my arm around his neck and hugged him.

“Awe, me too” He said hugging me back.

Why is he so warm and comfortable?

I broke the hug and looked at him.

“Now go” I said blinking my eye.

He chuckled and nodded.

“Bye” he said and turned towards his brother who stood there looking pissed. Who pissed in his food?

You know what I don’t care.

I’m done with his bullshit. I was a kind person to him only to get called a gold digger.

“You too” I said to him crossing my arms.

He looked at me for a second and walked out of my apartment and Aarav followed him. I locked the door and went to my room.

Sleep, here I come.
