"Bro, I'm bored. Let's hit the club tonight," I proposed the idea.
"Yeah, it's getting dull. Let's wrap up everything early today," Shreesha said, agreeing.
"Okay, then I'll call Veer," I exclaimed, taking out my phone and informing him about the plan.
"By the way, Shree, should we call Ayansh too?" I asked.
Shreesha looked at me, thought for a moment, and then agreed. She was calling him when I suggested putting it on speaker.
She rolled her eyes but did as I said.
"Hello?" he said from the other side.
"Hey, Shreesha here," she said.
"Yeah, I know. I already have your number," he replied softly
I looked at her with a teasing smile, and she playfully smacked my head before continuing.
"We were planning to go to the club tonight. Would you like to join?" she asked unsure.
There was silence for some time on the other line.
We made eye contact and patiently waited for him to speak.
"Yeah, sure. I'll be there," he said after a while.
"Okay, I'll text you the address and time," she said.
"Yeah okay, bye. Take care," he said sweetly.
"You too," she replied with a smile and finally hung up the call.
She released a deep breath and finally looked at me. I was already looking at her.
"Hmm, take care," I said, nudging her shoulder.
She just ignored me and started doing her work. I whined and then went back to work.
"Shree, we'll go to my home and get ready, okay?" I exclaimed.
She agreed.
After finishing our work, we headed to my home and informed Veer to be ready; we would pick him up.
Upon reaching, we greeted my mother, who was sitting in the living room, and went to my room.
"So, what are you wearing?" she asked me.
"I don't know. Let me check what we have," I said, going through my wardrobe.
"What about you? What are you wearing?" I asked her.
"Nothing special—jeans, a T-shirt, and a jacket, maybe" she said shrugging her shoulder
I looked at her being done.
"Shree, try something new. Kab tak wahi pehenti rahegi?" I said.
"You know I'm not comfortable. Not my fault," she said, shrugging her shoulders.
Finally, after an hour, we got ready. I was wearing a black shimmery dress that reached just above my knees, let my hair down, and wore boots.
I looked at Shreesha, who was doing her hair. She was wearing blue ripped baggy jeans, tucked in a turtleneck T-shirt, and had a leather jacket over it.
"You look good," she said, looking at me.
"I know, and you look great too," I said, smiling at her.
Finally, we made our way to our car and drove off, picking up Veer.
He was sitting in the back seat, I was in the passenger seat, and Shreesha was driving.
"Guess who's coming with us tonight," I exclaimed, looking at Veer.
He raised his brow in confusion.
"Ayansh," I said with a smirk.
"Ohhooo, the lover boy," he exclaimed with a similar smirk as mine.
We started teasing Shreesha, played our favorite songs, goofed around, and finally reached the club
I had just arrived at the club after a day filled with important meetings when she called and invited me to join them. How could I refuse?
I quickly wrapped up remaining meetings and postponed others.
I was waiting near the parking lot as their car approached. The music was blaring, and the three of them were jamming, singing at the top of their lungs like mad people.
I chuckled, watching their lively entrance.
My gaze fell on her; she looked stunning, radiating a captivating allure.
They parked the car, spotted me, and came towards me with wide smiles.
"Hey bro," Veer greeted me with a bro hug, which gladly I returned.
After exchanging greetings, I turned to Shreesha.
She seemed stunned, caught in a moment of checking me out.
I couldn't help but smirk at her reaction.
"Hey!" I said with a smirk, playfully bringing her back to reality.
"H-hey," she stammered, looking away in embarrassment.
"If you guys are done, can we go?" Veer interrupted with a bored tone. Siya slapped his arm, earning a whine, and I chuckled at their bickering
"Yeah, let's go," Shreesha said hurriedly, leading the way.
Siya followed, and Veer and I strolled together.
I shook my head, chuckling at her. It was unusual for me to smile this much.
It had only been two days since I met her, and the thought of a lifetime of smiles crossed my mind.
"Back to earth, bro!" Veer snapped me out of my thoughts.
I cleared my throat and walked behind the girls, while Veer came beside me with a teasing smile that I choose to ignore.
As we entered the club, a blast of loud music and the strong scent of alcohol hit us. People were dancing and enjoying themselves to the fullest.
We joined the girls near the bar counter, taking stools beside them.
"Two tequila and one mocktail," Shreesha ordered, glancing at me
"What would you like?" she asked
"One martini," I told the bartender, who nodded and went to prepare the drinks
"So what now?" I asked, looking at them.
"Just enjoy the drinks and dance!" Siya exclaimed pulling Shreesha onto the dance floor.
They danced with abandon, forgetting the world around them.
Suddenly, I noticed some men surrounding them.
I was about to intervene when Veer stopped me.
"They can handle it; just enjoy your drinks," he said, unfazed.
I glanced at the girls, only to see one of them already knocking out a guy, while Shreesha twisted another's arm, and Siya kicked the third.
My jaw dropped at their unexpected skills.
"Woohoo, that's my girl!" Veer cheered.
While I was still in shock, they came towards us with smirks on their faces
"So, finally, my training paid off," Veer remarked
"Training? You usually get beat up. We learned from that," Shreesha snorted, making Veer whine.
Siya laughed, and I couldn't help but feel proud watching Shreesha.
After the incident, Shreesha noticed my gaze, smiled, and joined me at the bar.
The other two went for a dance.
"I didn't know you could fight that well," I commented
"I just know it," she replied, shrugging.
"So, how was your day?" she asked, sipping her drink
"Good, got a few deals. What about you?" I inquired with a smile
"It was good and tiring," she said casually.
A silence settled between us after that
"Will you join me for a dance?" she asked, extending her hand.
"I don't know how to dance, actually," I admitted, rubbing the back of my neck.
"It's okay; I'll teach you. Come on," she said, taking my hand and dragging me onto the dance floor.
We stood facing each other. She moved with the rhythm, guiding me with a smile
"See, it's easy!" she shouted over the loud music.
I nodded with a wide smile, enjoying the moment with her, admiring her. When the song changed
Rangi Sari Gulabi Chunariya Re
Rangi Sari Gulabi Chunariya Re
Mohe Mare Nazariya Sawariya Re
Mohe Mare Nazariya Sawariya Re
we looked deep into each other's eyes. I held her waist, pulling her closer, while she wrapped her arms around my neck.
Everything around us faded as we got lost in each other. We didn't realise how long we were lost in each other
When we heard her name being called, we looked back to find Siya and Veer calling us.
We finally realized our position and backed off with a shy smile on our faces
"Um, let's go?" Shreesha said. I nodded, and we headed towards Siya and Veer, leaving behind a lingering warmth from our dance
