Illicit Affairs

"Inka ghar kaafi sundar hai.. nahi Ishaani?" Abhishek said while Ishaani observed and admired the highly embellished walls
"Haan bhaai.. specially ye flowers waala pattern kitna suit kar raha hai iss chotu se mandir me! aur wall ka texture toh-"
"Arre meri architectural geek" Abhishek cut her off and she pouted cutely "Mai tere saath raha toh bore ho jaaunga... mai jaara hu aage, teri jab iksha hove to tu aajaiyo" he patted her head and she nodded.
The walls seemed to be carved out of marble to Ishaani. And there were little pieces of shiny stones that were cut in an exact manner to fit in the flowery pattern-grooves.
She touched those pieces with her soft hands, examining each of those cuts and feeling them on her skin. She loved the architecture.

Finally she moved a bit ahead
She saw a door which was a little bit open. It seemed to kind-of 'stand out' from the other rooms
Because of the little interior which she could make out from her side of the door, the room was well decorated. And it was a bit dark- with a heritage theme.
Dark oak cabinets, wood flooring covered perfectly with a black rug and a slight greyish-blue color. Upon looking at the room, she was instantly reminded of Ajey.
Without thinking for another second, she straightaway marched into the room... to find none other than Ajey himself, who was half-dressed and was ruffling his hair with his towel.

She did see him, but anyways walked in 
Ajey saw her reflection in the mirror and he got startled
"Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho!?" He said as he proceeded to walk towards Ishaani
Her heart jumped for a second. Ek toh hot banda, uppar se sexy tattoos.. kya hee kare dil bechaara

"Kisi ke room me aane se pehle knock karna chahiye itna bhi nahi maalum?" He said as he held her by her arm and proceeded to push her out of his room. But as he was about to, she held the door frame and closed the door shut as she stood against it
Ajey's eyes widened in surprise as she smirked at him slightly.
"Nice tattoos Mr. Nagar" she said flirtatiously. And Ajey almost facepalmed himself while she giggled
"Koi dekkh lega" He said, his eyes fixed on her
"Koi dekkhe na dekkhe maine toh dekkh liya" she teased him and he grabbed a t-shirt and moved into the bathroom, glaring at her.
'Yeh mujhse flirt kar rahi thi??' he questioned himself as his heart pounded in his chest with the excessive closeness with Ishaani

Now completely dressed he came out and found Ishaani sitting on his bedside chair and looking at one of his photos with Aanya.
Ajey cleared his throat to get Ishaani's attention and she looked at him
"Woh mai... wo actually kal.." he started
"It's okay" she said getting up and he looked at her confusedly "You were bit drunk yesterday.. it's alright" she said with a comforting smile.
Ajey held out a slight sigh "Oof, maine socha tha kal itna awkward hogaya pataa nahi tum kya soch rahi hogi aur-" He realized what he just said and Ishaani looked down smiling
"Sorry?" his apology was more like a question and she giggled
"Actually I shouldn't have doubted you in the first place" she said "But our introduction hadn't gone too well, you know" she said and Ajey rubbed the nape of his neck slightly
"I'm sorry too" she said, looking at him straight in the eye.

"Itna personally toh mujhe mere friends bhi nahi jaante, Ishaani" he stated as he plopped down beside her. Ishaani tried to lighten the mood
"Toh lemme be your best friend fir?" she said cheerfully, extending out her hand
Ajey looked at her and smiled. But instead of shaking hands with her, he took out something from his pocket and endued her with her flowery pink bracelet, which was apparently with him since that 'incident'. Her face lightened up and Ajey smiled at her
Things were back to normal again~

"Aanya! I found you finally" Aman said and Aanya stopped in her tracks
"ji papa?" she asked.
He did not care to look up "I have fixed a date for you and Nischay. Shaadi bhale hee 6-7 mahine postpone hogayi ho but bonding is necessary, so he's coming to pick you up in about an hour"
He stated and walked off "Bu-" Aanya started but he left 'Ugghh mai kyuu bhagwaanjiii' she thought to herself and went upstairs to get ready.
