Party Time

After investing a great amount of energy into getting Prem off his seat, Preet had finally succeeded in his effort to convince him to come out to party, it was just a matter of pulling him away from his desk. It wasn't an easy task, first Preet asked nicely, then he decided to be stern, then he had to beg, until finally his older brother just had to give in to his brother's antics. As difficult as it was to pull his older brother away from his textbooks, it was equally difficult for Prem to say no to his little brother.

Ash stepped of her room to find Preet standing outside his room. Keeping their first meeting in mind Ash had concluded that she thought Preet was just a snob. Ash wasn't the kind of person to put up with arrogance, she ignored him.

"You look good," Preet called after her.

Ash turned around a little surprised and walked towards him, folding her arms on her chest "Thanks..." She studied his face trying to understand what was going on in his head, then was convinced by his ecpression that he was being sincere, "You don't look to bad yourself," she rolled her eyes with smirk.

"Well what can I say," he leaned in towards her, "I've always been this way,"

"Excuse me, correct me if I'm wrong but from what I remember you've always been a big kadduu..." She purposely looked behind Preet, "Where are you hiding it all,"

Both laughed in unison, forgetting about their first meeting. Leaving all the awkwardness in the past the two began to joke around like old friends.

Heer slipped on a pair of skinny jeans and navy blue heals with the same color blue silk top to match.

They would be getting there in Ash's car since no one wanted to sit in Heer's car. Preet even popped in a few cheap jokes about her car. Heer was immune to hearing lame comments about her car, so she just replied to Preet by smacking his arm.

"Um Preet aren't we forgetting someone," Ash looked at Preet.

"Prem bhai... where is he?"

It was then that Prem entered into the garage dressed in dark jeans and a striped blue and black casual dress shirt.

Heer was hoping that he wouldn't tag along because his presence seemed to make her feel restless; it was a feeling that was hard to explain.

Preet smiled, "Wow PB you and Heer are matching," Heer was caught off guard, quickly turned her head the opposite direction pretending that she didn't hear that comment. Prem noticed her reaction.

"Shotgun!!!" Preet shouted.

Heer's pulse quickened as she realized that she would have to sit beside Prem. Oh great. The ride to the club wasn't as awkward as Heer thought it would be, it was just her attitude. It was all fun and laughs as Ash and Preet fought over which CD's they would listen to, and Ash would retaliate with a, "My car, my rules" but Preet would ignore her. He also made fun of her driving. Heer would bug in now and then to nag the two to stop arguing. Ash and Prem teamed up to make fun of Preet while Heer just chuckled in the background.

The half an hour drive was shortened to twenty minutes thanks to Ash's reckless driving. It was just going to be the four of them that night since Heer felt it was too short of notice to invite anyone else, but now that she was left sitting at a table alone with Prem, she wished she did invite at least Ayesha to accompany her. Preet and Ash had immediately made their way to the bar to grab a couple of drinks before they hit up the dance floor.

"Why aren't you dancing?" Prem looked up from his drink as he swished the cubes around with his straw.

Heer looked back at him meeting his eyes, being cautious with her answer, "I ...don't know,"

"I'm not much of a party person either," he leaned back in his seat.

Her heart skipped as she realized his guess was so right, "It's not that, just I don't feel like dancing,"

"Isn't that the same thing?" he chuckled.

What is it With You?

The night progressed with small talk between Prem and Heer, she opened up a little more but still not enough. She still felt that same restlessness she had always felt around him, Prem noticed this and took advantage of it by making random comments here and there to startle her.

Meanwhile Ash and Preet where having a blast dancing together, she had finally found someone who could keep up with her energy. Once it was twelve-thirty, they decided to leave the club. Noticing Ash's dazed expression, Heer was certain that she would snatch the car keys from her once she got the chance.

"Preet, that was so much fun, we should party more often,"Ash slurred her words.

Preet raised his hand for a high five, "Yeah!" Ash's returned the high five then clasped his hand. Both were unaware of this.

Heer reached for the zipper of Ash's purse while Ash was totally oblivious to Heer's presence, she was too engrossed in her random banter with Preet.

*grumble* Ash giggled, "Whoops, that's my tummy," she raised her finger timidly.

"I'm hungry too, let's get McDonalds," Preet said

Heer and Prem looked at one another, Prem smiling amused by Ash and Preet and Heer with a worried mom look on her face.

Prem's smile softened as he replied to her wary gaze, "Yeah, let's grab something to eat,"

Ash and Preet who where hand in hand followed behind Heer and Prem. Ash clutched his hand tighter "I missed you kadduu,"

Preet stretched his arm over her shoulder and pulled her in for a side hug, "I missed you guy's too,"

Heer's lips puckered in, suppressing a laugh, she turned to see Prem who was grinning and softly laughing. She couldn't hold it in when she saw his face; it was then that both of them burst into a quiet laugh.

The ride home was a nightmare, because Preet kept on complaining about how he felt like puking, Ash began to threaten him, if he threw up in her car, he would not live to see the daylight next morning. Heer made a mental note, to not let Ash and Preet party so hard next time.

Once they reached home, Preet ran out of the garage and puked on the side of the road, it wasn't a very pleasant sight.

"Preet go upstairs now," Prem told him patting his back.

Ash had reached her room peacefully while Preet didn't quite make it, when Prem reached the top of the stairs he found him lying on the floor already snoring. Being the caring brother that he is he made sure he got Preet into his room quietly before Gaytri or Lalit could find him lying there.

When he had delivered his brother safely to his room, Prem found Heer standing at the doorway of Preet's room, she quickly turned around and headed out.

"Wait," Prem called out in a whisper.

Heer turned to face him; he leaned on the door frame and crossed his arms around his chest. She stood in place, unable to move.

"What is it with you?" he confronted in a calm tone.

"What do you mean," Heer croaked.

"I don't know, seems like you're afraid of me or something. I mean whenever I'm around you, you try to run away. When we talk, you choose your words carefully and then answer... you don't need to do that you know," his eyes where fixed on her face, concentrated and waiting for an answer.

The dark hall lay silent, she didn't have an answer. Instead she tried to swallow the lump in her throat, "I'm not afraid of you," she choked on her last word.

He leaned in closer, "Are you sure about that?" his breathe brushed her face stunning her; it was that same scent again, which made her feel weak and dizzy.

She couldn't resist this scent, it kept pulling her in, "No," she whispered.

Preet let out a loud snarl, which made both Heer and Prem jump. She felt a rush of relief that Preet's loud snoring had broken the moment of weakness that had subsided. She pulled away, while Prem stood in place.

"It's late, I should go," she clumsily walked away.
