Because Love Is Not Enough

Chapter 12. Reminscing the past

"I don't get fat so don't worry about that. And I love cream in my coffee."

"Okay.....your coffee will be ready in five minutes."

I look at Gaurav who is busy making coffee for me. He scrunches his nose a little while pouring cream into the coffee. He looks like a cute baby and I smile inwardly.

My mind wanders to the last night events and I ask him.

"Ummm..... Gaurav where is Jai? I haven't seen him this morning."

Gaurav looks at me perplexed.

"He didn't come back last night. He must be with his girlfriend."

I couldn't help myself but notice how he said 'his'. I clear my throat, a weak attempt to start the conversation again. Gaurav looks at me amused.

"Just ask away Avy bear. I will answer you truthfully."

I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and say,"Why were you so angry last night? Is this something about between you brothers.?"

He looks at me and then stirs the coffee.

"The girl, Alisha who introduced herself as Jai's girlfriend used to be my girlfriend six months ago. I found her and Jai naked on my bed."

My jaw drops after absorbing this whole new information. I look at Gaurav who is cleaning the slab. I feel so sorry for him. My blood boils on thinking about Jai and Alisha.

"I am so sorry Gaurav. I shouldn't be prying into your personal matters."

"It's okay Avy bear. I was going to tell you anyway."

"So, did you love her?"

Gaurav laughs at my question like I had asked him if he liked men.

"Love..... No way.... I was going to break up with her anyway. But she fell in love with Jai and they told me about them pretty soon. But still what hurt me the most was how could Jai do something like this to me? I am his brother. Brothers don't do that to each other, do they? And last night when I saw them like that again, I lost my mind."

"Oohh"

My mind thinking about Gaurav. How would he have felt at that time?

"Relax Avy bear. It's in past now. They told me that they were hopelessly in love. And I have read somewhere that people do that shit when they are in love. Everything is fair in love and war."

"Shakespeare"

"What!"

"I mean Shakespeare  said those lines."

Gaurav throws his head back and laughs.

"You are so cute Avy bear..... I ranted for so long but you only caught that Shakespeare part."

My cheeks turn into flames as he pinches my cheeks.

"Awww you are blushing Avy bear. I know I am hot but I had such strong effect on you...... I didn't know about that..... Wow."

"Stop making castles on a cloud alright. I am not attracted to you and never will be, even if you are the last guy on the planet. Got it!"

"Is that so Avy bear....." he smugly replies

His deep voice sends shivers down my spine but I refuse to show the effect he has on me.

"Yes, and now please get ready or else we will be late for the college."

"Okay, mam."

He salutes me and sips his coffee while looking at me.

We enjoy our morning coffee together and drive together to the college.
