Amber's P. O. V

"Why am I stuck with you?" I ask Vihaan mockingly while we were walking the street of some area that he mentioned. Honestly, I don't remember the names of the areas because the names are new and confusing for me.

"You are stuck with me because no one else wishes to be stuck with me," he says and I immediately regret saying that to him. I don't know why, I just do.

"I was kidding," I immediately add.

"It's okay. Anyway, what do you want to do?" he asks me and I shrug.

"It is your city. You lead."

"Okay then, I'll take you to a place that is a girl's paradise in Mumbai," he says and I turn slightly towards his voice, confused.

"And where would that be?" I ask him and I could feel his confidence in his voice.

"Colaba."

**************************
"Bhaiya ye kaisa diya?" (How much does this cost?) Vihaan asks the shopkeeper in Hindi and I stand here, unaware of their conversation.

"250."

"Ha, hum to lutne ke liye aye hai," (yeah yeah, we have come here to be robbed of our money) Vihaan says something in Hindi in a sarcastic voice and I elbow him slightly.

"I don't know what your saying but if you plan on fighting, then please leave it for another day," I plead and he wraps his hand around my upper back.

That shopkeeper said something in Hindi but I didn't really understand and Vihaan didn't really wait for him to complete. We just started walking ahead.

We were walking in silence and I could hear the tingling noises around me.

"I'm sorry I brought you here, you're clearly not having fun. Gosh, what's happening to me and my talents," Vihaan grumbles and I laugh out loud.

"Your talents? Tell me more about these 'talents'," I ask and I can almost imagine him smiling in pride.

He's guiding the way and he occasionally pulls me left or right so I'm guessing this is a narrow lane. I can't really feel the heat that much so I'm guessing it's a shadowed lane.

"Well, I don't really believe in self praise so I'm just going to ref-" he stops and I can feel his arm tense.

"Vihaan, what happen?" I ask him and he shushes me before he pulls me sharply towards the left and I lose my balance. His arms wrap around me and and save me from falling. I just take a deep breath to calm my racing heart.

"Vihaan, what the fuck are you doing?! I would have died!" I say when he straightens me up.

"Oh, so Amber Fields knows how to be dramatic also huh?" he says sarcastically and I roll my eyes.

"Will you please tell me what the hell is going on and why-" I'm cut off by this extra shrill and extremely seductive voice.

"Hey Vihaan," I hear the girl say whose voice. I'm definitely hearing this person for the first time but I know it's a girl because boys mostly wouldn't try to seduce Vihaan. Mostly.

"Hey Gauri," Vihaan said sounding so excited. Note the sarcasm.

Oh! So that's why he pulled me. Maybe he was trying to hide us. I guess we're in trouble.

****************************

"Vihaan," that annoying voice yells again and I roll my eyes. We are currently ducked behind what I'm imagining to be a display of stoles or curtains. Whatever it is, I'm sure it has been on display for a while because I'm breathing in the dust. I'm not judging them, the store is on the road out in the open. What I don't like, however, is the fact that out of all places, Vihaan thought this one to be most appropriate. I'm not complaining mainly because I can't right now because I prefer being within the curtains than with that girl.

Just how much you have changed Amber. You almost sound like Ayana or Krisanne.

My inner self mocks me and I think about it.

They have influenced me, alot. They are the closest I've gotten to having friends. But do friends influence everyone in the same way? Everyone changes according to their company?

"Which theory of physics are you trying to figure out Amber?" Vihaan asks me, his amusement clear in his voice.

"I would have told you but you said no talking," I say and he laughs.

"Just a few days and I'm already seeing so many shades of you," he laughs and I can feel his steady gaze on me.

"Vihaan, baby here you are! You don't need to go inside the rack of stoles to find one for me. Don't worry, I'll tell you which one I want," Gauri goes on and I hear Vihaan sigh after a few seconds.

"Bhaiya, maine aapko paise hame yaha chupne ke liye aur hame safe rakhne ko diye the," (Brother, I paid you some money so you can allow us to hide here and keep us covered).

"Itne paise mai itna hi milta Hai," (This is all you get for that amount of money).

I hear Vihaan sigh again."She's actually selecting a stole like I'm buying it for her. Like seriously. Amber, save me." Vihaan whispers discreetly and I laugh.

"Okay I have an idea," I say and I feel him move beside me.

"What?" he murmurs again and I smile.

"Let's run."

*******************

Who knew people can take me seriously?

Well, so I did some- actually lots of running today. Don't ask me where, I don't know about the place. How? Well I had my legs and my eyes were Vihaan. He pulled, pushed, stopped, caught me before I tripped, etc before we finally stopped, our breathing heavy.

"That's was a stupid idea," Vihaan said.

"But you did it anyway."
Just then his phone rang.

***************************

Running and now listening to a movie. I'm doing alot of crazy things now.

Earlier today when we got Ayana's call, we kind of rushed home but we stuck to walking.

Then we had a long chat with Krisanne and now after my brilliant suggestion, we are all watching a movie. For me it's more like listening to a movie.

"Why did you give this idea?" Vihaan murmurs. He's sitting closer than usual and while I feel odd, I also feel comfortable and cozy and so I'm not really asking him to move. Others are sitting somewhere in the room but not very close to us because I can hear only faint sounds when they talk.

"Because I felt like watching a movie," I say genuinely and I can feel his stare on my face.

"What?" I ask and he sighs.

"Fine."

"Vihaan I'm-"

"Fine."

"Listen to-"

"Fine."

"Fine then. I won't tell you," I bark at him and sit back.

"Just say it already will you?" he asks and I sigh.

"You know you told me about wild imagination and stuff?" I say and he hums.

"Yeah, so this is me practicing."

He laughs out loud and I smile involuntarily. The sound of his laugh is something that I'm growing too used to. I don't know how dangerous it's going to be.

***************************
