13. Embarrassment
His To Adore
Kabir's POV:
"Finally you are here." Shreya rushed toward me and intertwined her arm with mine. She knows what type of rumors media creates but as the producers were also with us, I didn't say anything to her.
"Let's go inside before paparazzi spot us." Ahan whispered and we made our way inside the restaurant.
We settled on our reserved table. "The casting is finally done, and the rehearsals will start tomorrow. Are you guys ready?" Amit Kumar, the producer of our film asked.
"Uncle, you know I am always ready." Ahan said with a broad smile on his face.
'Don't call me uncle, we are here for business." Amit sir said.
"Okay Sir!" Ahan replied in a professional tone. We both have known Amit sir since we were young. He is Ahan's maternal uncle and our mentor. In the academy whenever we had any problem he was the one who would help and guide us.
When he offered me this project I instantly said yes, it was an honor for me to work with him.
"Okay let's order." Amit sir said and we all ordered our food. The food and wine was served after few minutes. "Let's make a toast to the biggest project of the year." We all clicked our glass together.
I took a sip from the glass, when my eyes locked on a group of people. My eyes widened when I saw her. She was with her band members along with two other girls. Ahan who was beside me also looked into their direction.
"What is up bro?" He whispered, making me look at him but I again looked at her. She had a glass of beer in her hand which she emptied in one go.
She said something to the girl beside her and finished her glass too. What the hell is wrong with her, why is she drinking so much? Sameer snatched the glass and she said something to him. They were way too close to each other, my grip on my fork tightened.
"Bro, who do you want to murder with that fork?" Ahan asked as he looked at my white knuckles.
"Everything alright?" Amit sir asked and I just nodded. I looked in their direction again but they already left.
"I'm so sorry an urgent matter came up please excuse me." Saying that I stood up from my place and rushed toward the exit. Ahan being Ahan, he followed me. I came out from the restaurant and saw her standing alone.
She stumbled and was almost going to fall but I caught her by her arm and pulled her toward me. She blinked a few times to recognize me "Mr Jerk is this you?" She closed her eyes and her head fell on my chest.
"What the hell, why did you drink so much?" Sameer came with his car and stopped in front of us, he got out of the car.
"Here is your phone." A girl who was with her before came and her eyes widened when she looked at us.
"Mr Mehra, why are you here?" Sameer asked as he moved closer to us.
"You tell me why you left her alone in this state. What if she ran to road and something happened to her?" I ignored his question. How can he be this irresponsible when he knows she is drunk.
"Cool down bro she is fine." Ahan said, coming closer.
"It's my fault, I left her." The girl said.
"Nitya how can you leave her when you know how she is when she gets drunk." Sameer almost yelled at that girl.
"I'll take her home and you guys also go." I called my driver and waited for him to come.
"Come on, I'll drop you." Sameer said to the girl but she denied to go with him.
"I'll book a cab." She said and took out her phone from her purse but Sameer snatched her phone away. "What the hell! I said I am not going with you." She shouted at him.
"Nitya w-what happened w-why are you shouting?" Mahi asked with her eyes still closed.
"Ahan can you take her home?" I asked and he nodded. Nitya denied but then agreed. The driver also came and I settled in the car with her beside me. She was sleeping soundlessly with her head resting on my shoulder.
We reached home, I slowly carried her in my arms and entered the house. Fortunately mom was sleeping and I made my way to Mahi's room. I placed her on her bed and covered her with the duvet. I got up to leave but she held me by my wrist.
"Mr M-Mehra... No you are Mr Jerk." her eyes slightly opened to look at me. A smile made its way on my lips, I sat on the edge of the bed. She peeped through her long eyelashes, these eyes of hers attracts me like a magnet.
I removed the hair strands from her face to get a better view, her face was flushed due to drinking. "Okay dolphin I will gladly be your Mr Jerk but you better not get drunk when I am not around or else I won't always be this good." I whispered in her ear and left the room before I do something which I might regret later.

Mahi's POV:
I woke up with a hammering headache and groaned in pain. "You know you can't handle it, but still always want to be the overexcited one." I scolded myself and someone knocked.
"Come in." My eyes widened when he entered.
"Here, it's honey lemon water, it will help with hangover." He passed me the glass and I took it.
"How do you know that I have a hangover?" I asked in confusion.
"You really don't remember what happened last night?" As soon as he said those words I checked myself under the duvet and my clothes were changed into my night wear. What the fuck in hell happened last night!!
I looked at him but he started laughing. "The house help changed your clothes as mom was sleeping at that time." He came closer to me, our nose just a few inches apart, I felt my heartbeat accelerating.
"You sure have wild thoughts, dolphin." He said with a smirk. Embarrassment crept into my veins, I could feel my cheeks and ears burning and I am sure he can too.
"Come downstairs for breakfast after you get ready." He said moving away from me. I looked at his retreating figure before he left the room.
I swear to god If I can kill someone he will be the first and the last target and at last he didn't even told me what happened last night Asshole!
I looked at the clock "Holy shit it's already 11!" I quickly went to take a shower. I decided to wear a black tank top with grey jeans. My phone started to ring and the screen showed Nitya.
Mahi's Outfit
"Hi" I said, picking up the call.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked with a concerned voice.
"I am feeling good, just a little headache. I am so sorry for yesterday, must have ruined the dinner for everyone. Also thanks for dropping me." I know how I am when I get drunk and must have troubled these poor souls.
"Not just you Rishi was wasted too but I didn't drop you last night it was Kabir." Am I hearing right he brought me back.
"How and why did he bring me back?" I remember he was in the middle of his dinner meeting.
"Sameer went to get the car and you forgot your phone inside the restaurant and was continuously insisting to bring it back so I went inside and when I came back he was holding you." My eyes widened in shock. He left his meeting because of me?
A gasp left my mouth when I remembered the incidents of last night how he carried me and I called him Mr Jerk. I mentally slapped myself. Why the hell do I have to get drunk this much? Oh god this is so embarrassing.
"Nitya will call you later and I am sorry for yesterday meri jaan. I promise I won't drink from now on ever." I said.
"You better not forget this." After what happened last night I won't drink even a single drop.
"Okay bye." She hung up the call and I went outside of my room. Looking here and there if he is around. As no one was present I tiptoed downstairs, need to leave this place before he sees me. I don't want to face him right now.
I almost crossed the living room when his voice startled me "Running away, are we?" Shit Shit Shit!!
I turned around to look at him standing at the entrance of the kitchen, he moved toward the dining table with two plates in his hands.
"Have a seat." He said when I didn't move from my place I wanted to refuse but decided not to.
"Where is Aparna aunty?" I asked, taking my seat.
"She left early in the morning." He replied and I just hummed.
He passed me the plate with upma in it. I was super hungry so I dug in forgetting the surroundings. I was almost finished and looked upward just to find him looking at me intently.
"Ah sorry for causing you the inconvenience yesterday and thank you for bringing me back." I said not looking at him.
"That's okay as long as you remember what I said yesterday." I looked at him again remembering what he said.
"If you don't remember, I don't mind repeating." He said as he wiped his mouth with the tissue.
"No thanks I remember but of course it's not like I decided not to drink just because you said, but because it's injurious to health." I heard him chuckle and stood up from my place ready to leave.
"Let's go together." He said, taking his coat from the chair.
"And why would I go with you?" Can't he sense that I don't want to be around him? Is he dumb or making me a fool?
"Because we are going to the same place." He deadpanned. I am 100% sure that I don't like this man.
