Karan calling...

Pratiti woke up due to her phone ringing. Lazily, she opened her eyes.

"Hey Little girl" the caller said.

"Morning Karan" she said in a sleepy tone.

"Darlo, its going to be noon in a few minutes"

This came like a shock for Pratiti and she saw her phone, it was 11:50 am. She overslept!

"I didn't realize it."

"Its ok unless you don't have any work now. Anyways, are you coming to my party tonight?" he asked.

Shit! She almost forgot about it.

"Karan, I wont be able to make it tonight, I need to fix things and get back to my schedule from day after tomorrow" she made an excuse.

"I was expecting this only, no excuses Pritz please. It's very special and I wan't my people around me."

And she couldn't say no to that. Karan has always been one of her favorite people in the industry. Being a successful director, he welcomed her in his star world warmly.

"Ok Karan, I will be there."

"Thanks Darlo, gotta see ya soon" and he hung up the call. 

She looked at her phone and found two messages from...

"Vivaan?"

Good morning love

Save my number, meet you soon *wink emoticon*

Pratiti groaned in irritation and she felt like throwing her phone but then Aryan called her.

"I am outside, open the door" he said and hung up.

She opened the door and found him with two bags.

"Breakfast and your dress for tonight's party" he went inside.

"When did you start catering business?" She said and he chuckled

"Get freshen up, then I will tell you the details"

It took her around 15 mins to take bath and Aryan already set up plates for her, serving Chole Bhature.

"Why did you bring a dress for me?" she asked as she took out the cloth.

"I owed you a present since you helped me out with my date last time. Thats it"

"Its beautiful" she examined.

"Its getting cold. Come"

"Pritz, you look gorgeous. Karan hugged her and she passed the champagne to him.

"Thanks sweety"

"Bro, I am here too" Aryan said and they hugged.

"I met you yesterday only. And we will be leaving for Maldives this Friday" Karan told.

"Where is Shyra?" Aryan asked. Shyra is the heroine of his new project with Karan and they are supposed to stay together for publicity.

Bollywood life afterall

"So, here I am" she said.

Pratiti never liked her personally though she is an amazing actress.

"Make yourself comfortable and I need to welcome my new guest "

Pratiti absorbed in the crowd and greeted her friends and coworkers. She took the beer from the counter and went to the balcony for some lone time. The view is amazing.

"A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be alone" the voice made her shiver and it was none other than Vivaan.

She turned around and their eyes met for a few seconds.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Hello to you too Pratiti." He stood beside her against the railing and smirked.

"I told you we are gonna meet soon. Here I am" he winked and she looked elsewhere.

"Pritz, have you met him?" Karan followed.

"Yeah, yesterday" she replied.

"That's cool. He is new and I believe you will be the best company for him" saying this, Karan went inside.

"So... Where is your boyfriend?" Vivaan asked.

"I don't have a boyfriend Vivaan" she replied gritting her teeth.

"Oh, so just fuck buddies? Perfect for you right. Anyways, you will be crushing his feelings soon" he said looking right into her eyes with no expression. She gulped down the beer and was about to leave when he held her wrist and pulled her towards him as she collided with his muscular frame.

"Don't turn your back on me, ever" he said and squeezed her arms tight.

"What do you want?" She asked as fresh tears formed in her eyes.

"You want me to tell the truth?" He asked bringing his face near hers.

"No, fucking lie to me" she said and let her tears fall down her cheeks.

"I don't want to kiss you right now, right here" he said and her breath hitched.

He snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"I don't want to touch you like before" their nose touched and she closed her eyes.

"Lastly, I don't want to fuck you senselessly so that you never forget whom do you belong to"
