"Monkey monster human being" she mumbles making me chuckle a bit
If she thinks I don't know about the nickname her and cabir gave me she is wrong because I often find them discussing 'monster' aka me
"Nandini I don't hate you and im sorry for my words. Even this morning I said a lot and I shouldn't have. Will you give me a last chance and please stay?" I ask
She lifts her head up looking in my eyes, her chin resting on my chest like prior this morning as she nods
"Last chance" she says
"Last" I mumble
"I am not trying to seduce you" she whispers, almost inaudible
"I know, trust me you wouldn't need to seduce me" I whisper making her chuckle a bit as she hid her face in my chest again
"Is it because you are already immune to my charms" she asks
"No, because you wouldn't need to try hard" I whisper back making her laugh louder
She is such a bubbly girl, I love the way she takes care of me and the whole group. I tried to not like her but I like her, and I can't help it
"So I can give a shot, I mean you know to woo you?" She asks
"Girl jsut smile at him and he will fall" cabir said making her and cabir laugh so loud
"So will you tell me whats going on?" navya asks
"Huh?"
"Oh don't play dumb with me, there are about let's see 30 articles about you and nandini slipping out of the club together kissing apparently, then we come home to see you and her sleeping in that state. Trust me I loved it, I even took pictures because damn you guys are adorable but whats going on? You even said you are dating her" she rambles
"First of all, I haven't seen any article. Second of all, my head was hurting last night so I asked her to massage my head and she fell a sleep like me. We are both adults and friends so we don't have to justify anything but since you guys are family I will tell you, my mother is asking me to settle down with alia"
"excuse me" cabir screams
"Dude I know but yeah" I say
"You are getting married to her" nadnini whispers as the group had started talking
"No doll, im not. I promise im not. There is a lot you and I have to talk about"
"Like what?" She asked
"A lot baby, for now can we just not discuss anything please" I ask
She nods resting her cheek back on my chest
"Hehe you called me baby" she mumbles giggling
"I did" I admit
"Alia will kill me and you if she hears you say that"
"Ill snap her neck before she reaches you"
"You will" she asks
"I will, don't think right now. Can one of you grab us food?" I ask them
"I will"nandini said
"Not you" I say sitting her down again
"Please, let me go. I will take navu and muku with me"
i let go of her arm as she skips to the two of them. As they went into the kitchen I look at cabir and druv who stare at me
"I don't know anything right now, I do have a plan" I said
"The plan better be marrying me, because your mother loves me" alia said
"Alia shut up, you are getting on my nerves" I say pinching the bridge of my nose as my headache got worse
"Here" I look up to see nandini
She placed a plate in my hand, she had cut up apples for me.
"Don't even argue with me, eat" she said running back to the kitchen
"Id say marry her" druv mumbles
I look up at him in shock because druv never says stuff like this ever, he will always stay quiet and the fact that his thought were sort of aligned with mine makes me happy
"Yup, marry her. I love her" cabin says stealing an apple from my plate
"Quit it, its mine" I say smacking his arm
"I am not staying here for this facade, I'm leaving" alia said
"Have fun" cabir said making me chuckle as she walks outside
"So what's going on?" Cabir asks
"Nyonika came back a week ago and she asked to see through nandini, obviously she didn't know nyonika so she scheduled her in. Apparently she wants me to get settled down and get married because right now I am being a wreck"
"And since when do you listen to anything that comes out of her mouth?"
"I don't, but she is not playing fair as usual. she is threatening me using dad" I mumble
"Have you talked to uncle?" Druv asks
"No, he is busy in Europe but I am not letting her blackmail me. I have a plan and it's going to have to work" I say
"What plan is it?" Cabir asks
"She wants me to get to know alia more and then eventually get married to her" I whisper
"Okay no, as much as I love alia being with us because she is good at what she does but I don' want you marrying her" navya says making me look towards the kitchen
Her, mukti and nandini were walking out with breakfast
"No, trust me I won't but I can prolong the situation until dad gets back" I say
"We both know uncle isn't coming back, not for another few months manik" cabir tell me as if I don't already know that
"I know, so the plan is I am going to do as she says"
"THE FUCK" mukti yells
"Shut up everyone, and just listen"
"Continue" cabir said as I smack him
"Ahhhh you bad monster" he yells rubbing his arm causing Nandini to giggle
"It doesn't hurt Okay, clam down" I said
"It does, how do you know it doesn't huh?" He whines like a child
"Shut it, so the plan is I will go on dates with alia but nandini you will help by keeping those dates in particular settings" I say
"Huh? I am not a matchmaker" she pouts
"Oh my god, you and cobir are rubbing off on each other" I mumble
"Right, I think I am in love with nandini. Do you think you can marry me?" Mukti asks her making her giggle
"I would but unfortunately im straight" she pouts seeming sad
"Everyone shut the fuck up and listen" I yell causing them all to shut up
"Nandini you will schedule dates only when fab 5 are together, right before concerts, before practice, after our voice tests and stuff like that so I don't have to be alone with her for long. That way nyonika is happy and off my ass and alia thinks we are dating. Now, cabir and druv please be as annoying as you two can be to distract alia from me. Navya and mukti you two will try and keep alia busy, shopping, shoes, whatever the hell she likes" I tell them my plan
"Dude she likes you, and I am not about to go shopping with her, she makes me want to pull my weave out" mukti mumbles making me chuckle
Its not that I don't like alia but I don't like the way she is clingy and on me all the time.
"None of this makes sense to me, first you say you are dating me then you say don't touch me then now you say sorry and are nice. Sometimes I think you are not human" nandini mumbles causing all eyes to shift to her as she munched on something in her hand
Her eyes were focused on the carrot or whatever she was munching on and I know for a fact she was talking to herself and not out loud.
"You told her not to touch you?" Cabir whispers in my ear
"I was angry, she was trying to hug me to calm me down"
"You are such an ass" he mumbles making me smile, I am I know I am
"To simplify for one specific person who seems to be confused, I am going to be fake dating alia" I say and nandini looks up
"You are a mind reader too?" She asks
"No, you just think out loud sometimes" navya says
"Oh" she had this adorable pout on her lips making me chuckle a bit
"You know she will pick up on you and this fake dating facade" andnini says
"Not if I act well"
"Until your hot head gets hotter and then the plan goes down the drain" she says and as if they all agreed, everyone laughed
"Quit it Nandini, just do what I asked okay"
"Fine" she says grabbing an apple from my plate
"Hey that's mine"
"I cut it up so its mine" she mumbles with the apple in her mouth
She is so aggressive sometimes and now I know exactly why cabir hired her for me, she doesn't take shit from me, rather she will throw it in my face and I like that.
"Fucks sake, mhm so everyone got the plan?" I ask
"Yes sir, how about you call your fake girlfriend and tell her to come back before she does something stupid" mukti says
"Right okay, se you guys later. Nandini up in my room in 10" I say
"Bossy monster" nandini mumbles resting her head on mukti's shoulder
