Chapter 3
I woke up when I heard the dog outside bark. Suddenly the memory of my little dog, Sunshine, came to my mind. I had lost her two years ago but I still missed her. I felt a little lonely all of a sudden and decided to go out and get something to drink. It was still around three in the morning so I assumed no one was up at this hour. I slowly opened the door and looked outside. No one there. I snuck out and walked to the little kitchen by the living room and looked around once more. No one. It was pretty dark to see anything but the moon was shining through the window and I made my way to the refrigerator. I opened it slowly trying not to make a sound. I was about to take the water out when I felt someone's hand around my waist and another hand on my mouth to stop me from screaming. "What are you looking for Kripa?" I froze at his voice. It wasnt him. I had heard that voice before but it wasnt Angad. I calmed myself down and slowly turned around. "Prince." I smiled uncomfortably. I had talked to him for just a few minutes. "I just needed a glass of water." He looked me up and down again. I didnt know why but everytime he did that, it made me feel worthless. "Why do you look at me like that?" He looked a little taken aback. I was a little surprised with myself too. I always took time to get comfortable with people. But this time I had just spoken my mind. I looked at him, waiting for an answer but all he did was smile.
Before I knew, I was sitting under the moonlight on the front porch with Prince by my side. He had apologized for making me feel that way before but still I dont know why I felt comfortable with him all of a sudden. Ok, Backup. I dont like him but I think he's cool. "So you were supposed to get married?" He interrupted my battle with my conscience. I looked at him and smiled.
"Yea. Married."
"So what happened?" He took a sip of his beer as I just looked at it. I thought about what to answer. Should I tell him the truth? Why would he care anyway? "I didnt love him." He nodded his head and smiled. "What?" He looked at me and then took another drink. "You girls always use that same excuse. I didnt love him. Dont women think before saying yes to get married in the first place?"
"Wait a minute. You seem to have a lot of experience. So how many girls did you propose to?" He looked down for a second as if he felt a little sad and then back at me. "Just one. and then she left me." I wanted to cry at the expression on his face. There was this cute little smile that made him look adorable but in a sad way. I put my hand on his and smiled. "I'm sorry." He looked down at my hand and then at me.
"Ok. Forget about me. Lets talk about you. What happened between Sim and you?" I felt like I wanted to throw up at her name.
"Nothing. She just has some kind of problem with me. I dont know why." He grinned and then looked away. "What?"
"Well, its a little obvious why she's acting this way."
"Yeah. what?"
"Well Ms. Kripa. Lemme let you in on a little secret here." I looked at him, waiting for whatever he wanted to tell me. This had to be good. "What is it?"
"You see..Sim here is a little bit possessive about Angad." I looked at him like he was crazy and then realized what he was trying to say. "So theyre in a relationship?"
"No!!!" I moved a little back at his sudden reaction and then smiled. "So why is she like so weird about this?"
"She's been in love with him for the past I dont know how many years." That *****. I stopped myself. I pretended to be casual about it even though I knew I was getting a bit jealous. "How long have they known each other?"
He looked at me and then away. "When the gang first started about 7 years ago. Then it was just understood for some reason that Angad and Sim were going to get married one day. Even though neither of them ever said it."
"Angad loves her too?" He might have seen the insecurity on my face because he smirked. "Why? Do you want him to NOT love her?" I felt a chill run down my spine. "No. No I'm just asking. Out of curiosity." He nodded his head sarcastically. "So does he?"
He looked at me again. "I dont know. He never said anything to anyone." I frowned and then rested my back against the pillar. "Did you ever fall in love?" I looked at him when he asked me the question. Was I ever in love? I didnt know the answer. I didnt love Angad yet. But I was getting a little possessive about him. So was that love? "Well?" I looked at him again and then smiled. "Lets talk about this later. Shall we?" He nodded as if he had read my mind.
"So, Prince. Tell me something." He took the last drink from his bottle of beer and then put it aside. "Who are the other guys here? I mean, I didnt see them again." He smirked and got up. "I'll tell you tomorrow. Its too late now. Go sleep." I narrowed my eyes and then smiled.
He walked me to my bedroom. "Good Night.", he said when I opened the door to it. I smiled and nodded my head but then turned around to watch him go into his room. But I saw Angad too. He was standing there. As if he was watching us. He looked at Prince as he passed by him and then stopped him on his way. He held Prince's shoulder as he started at me. I felt uncomfortable so I just left to go to my room and sleep. Ofcourse, I wouldnt be able to sleep tonight.
Surprisingly, I had fallen asleep after a few minutes. Now that I woke up and looked at the little clock by my side, I realized it was already 10. I quickly got up and fixed my bed. I was about to go take a shower when I realized that I didnt have any spare clothing. I wanted to go out and ask Angad if he could get me some but I felt a little uncomfortable after I saw the look on his face last night.
I slowly opened the door and looked outside. My room was down a small hallway so I could never see anyone outside in the living room. I tip-toed outside and towards the kitchen. "What do you need?" I stopped at his voice. I stood there, without turning around. I was a little embarrased about last night. He probably thought there was something between Prince and me. "I'm talkin to you" I slowly turned around to face him.
Gorgeous. He looked even hotter today. He was wearing this sleeveless shirt that accentuated his arms and his hot body. I felt myself get weaker at the knees. I was almost about to fall when he held my arms. "You okay?" He looked concerned this time. I nodded my head. "Yea i'm just a little tired I guess." He sighed and made me sit on the couch. He walked over to the kitchen and then came back with a glass of cold water. "Here." He helped me drink it and then placed it on the coffee table. "Go take a shower. You'll probably feel better. I'll get some more clothes from Sim." I nodded my head and waited for him to come back with some clothes and a towel. "I guess you'll have to stay here for a few more days." I nodded my head and walked towards my room. I closed the door quickly and then smiled. I was going to stay here for a little more time. Yes!
