Rowan Henderson? I mumbled. "Oh god Rowan!!! You came back!" Kia said excitedly while breaking the hug. "Finally yes my star!" Rowan ruffled her hair.

"We are literally meeting after 8 months! I miss you a lot, idiot!" Kia pouted. "I miss you more my star! Finally my movie shooting ended and I am back! I called Naina, she said you are here and I also have a shoot but fortunately it's near the Ivan industry so I came to surprise you!" he smiled while showing his dimple.

Rowan Henderson, one of the famous and popular actors. He is not only popular for his acting skill, he is also very popular for his good looks. Girls drool over him like there is no tomorrow!

Kia and Rowan have been best friends since they joined the acting and singing careers. Yall must be thinking how I know this all? Actually years ago when I became Kia's fan, I researched each and everything about her. Her likes, dislikes everything.

Rowan has been in Mexico for the past 8 months for his new movie shooting and now he is back. Him and Kia are also popular on another level when they're together.

Some of their fans ship them a lot, they have fan clubs too. And the most important one is there were so many rumours that they are dating but they and their agency always denied that they are just best friends and nothing else.

To be honest, seeing Kia's actions towards him, it looks like they are actually best friends but I don't know why I don't like him at all. Though he is a good guy, I still don't like him.

"Btw let me introduce, Arsh this is Rowan Henderson my best friend since I debuted and Row this is Arsh Ivan, the ceo of the Ivan industry and my very very good friend or I can say my new best friend!" The last line Kia said in a teasing way but hearing her Rowan laughed.

But I exactly loved the way she introduced me. Too unique, too accurate! I gave my hand for a hand shake but without doing that dude literally jumped on me for a hug wtf!?

"Heyyyy dudeee nice to meet you! But that's not good that you are stealing my best friend!" he jokingly said. I gave him a forced smile but no doubt he is a very jolly guy.

"Anyways Kia soon my shoot will start and you also have to attend your shoot so I'll meet you here in the evening!" Rowan said while checking his watch.

"You will come right?" Kia asked with both hope and a sad tone. "Of course I will, my star!" he pulled her cheeks. One more thing about Rowan is, he is very touchy. Especially with my Kia!

The way he hugged her, held her hands, pulled her cheeks everything made me so furious. I know they are just best friends but still I don't like it. It just feels like I have the only right to touch her, no one else.

He took his leave while smiling at Kia, leaving us alone again.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the launching ceremony of the Ivan Industry!" the host said while everyone clapped their hands.

"For our launching ceremony, we have our special guest, the popular superstar Kia Marshall!" She looked at me and I gave her a soft smile.

She went to the stage, and the host handed her the mic. "Hello everyone! Kia Marshall here. Hope you all are doing great!" she smiled.

"Thanks to the Ivan Industry for choosing me for their launching ceremony and of course I am really happy to be here!".

"Mam, what do you think about their perfumes?" one of the reporters asked. "So Ivan industry launched two new perfumes, named The Hearts perfumes, both male and female versions. And trust me the perfumes are magical!"

"The fragrance of both perfumes are so unique and rare. I bet you never use those unique fragrances. Before coming here, I personally used it and to be honest this perfume made me feel like something else!"

"It feels like it's a new smell, a new feeling and a new story. The Hearts perfumes, The fragrance of an unexpected romance! It's like a magical spell that envelops you in a world of love and desire. It's a scent that captures the essence of love, evoking feelings of warmth, excitement, and anticipation".

And about the unexpected romance, It's like walking through a garden filled with blooming flowers, where each scent tells a different love story. The delicate aroma of jasmine whispers of tender moments, while the intoxicating scent of lavender ignites passion and excitement.

"And how can we forget about the alluring aroma of musk, which has been used for centuries to enhance attraction and desire. Each scent has its own unique way of evoking emotions and setting the stage for a romantic experience. Lastly , a particular perfume which can instantly bring back memories of a special someone! So pick your phone and order these amazing perfumes, Thanks everyone!"

With a bright smile she finished her speech and the whole place filled with claps. I stood up on my feet and started clapping, following me, other people who also stood up while clapping.

Seeing me, she winked at me and I said "great job" through my eyes. I am literally speechless, I mean how uniquely and amazingly she described our perfumes. Forget me, even those who made the perfumes also can't describe like her.

Around me the people also loved her speech, she even made the media shut up. No doubt my baby is very extraordinary, she is just marvellous. So proud of you my baby my Kiki!

Right now the media is taking her pictures with our perfumes, so I can't go to her. Later when she will be in my cabin, that time I'll shower her with praise. My baby definitely deserves some compliments.

"Mr. Ivan please come and take some pictures with Miss. Kia!" one of the cameramen offered it to me. "Huh? Me?" "Yes sir please!". I hesitantly joined Kia.

"I must say you both look amazing together!" the main cameraman said and gave us a satisfied smile while seeing our picture. But of course we look good together. Any doubt?

"Sir and mam you don't mind, can I get a few hot shots of yours?" huh hot shots? Before I could answer, Kia already said "Of course you can!" saying she pulled me closer which made my eyes widen at her sudden action and seriously the distance between us is so less.

"Oh my god amazing! One more please!". This time Kia pulled me by my collar and made me look into her eyes. Her gaze is very seductive which made me glup.

"Arsh hold my waist!" she whispered into my ears. "Huh?" without saying again she took my hand and put it on her waist. I feel like I am sweating. Ahh why is it so hot here? Breathe Arsh breathe! Seriously I can handle everything in this world in fact her too but not her boldness!

Time skip

"Oh my god bestie! You did amazing!" saying Rowan again pulled Kia's cheeks. Like man, is it necessary to pull her cheeks every time?

Everything was fine until he came back. After the launching ceremony we came back to my cabin but after a while Rowan burst out again. As he said he will come back and now they are having an amazing conversation. Amazing for them but annoying for me. *side eye*

Almost for a while they talked with each other and literally it feels like I am third wheeling them. I don't know why but seriously I don't like them together at all. Please god do something and throw this Rowan away from my cabin

*side eye pt. 2*

Suddenly one guy came to my cabin while holding a few shopping bags in his hand, who may be Rowan's manager.

"Kia, these few gifts I bought for you from Mexico!" He handed the bags to Kia. "Aww Row you don't need to do those!" she softly looked at him. Ahh don't look at him like that Kia, I'll bring the whole Mexico for you.

"And this is a special gift! Though I bought this from here!" Rowan said while taking out a huge chocolate bar from his blazer pocket.

Kia's eyes widened "Omggg! Row you found it!" she exclaimed while taking the chocolate from his hand. "You know it's always sold out! Naina ordered it for me but it will be delivered in one month. But how did you get it?" she asked.

"Rowan's magic babe!" Both of them giggled. But wtf babe? He seriously called my Kiki babe? And yes I am jealous! How dare he call her babe.

"You are the best Rowan!" she hugged him again and that's it I lost my temper. No matter what happens I can't see them together for a second now. Not only my eyes, my heart and my body are burning.

"Excuse me guys!" I said and walked away from them. "Arsh? Where are you going?" Kia called me. I can feel surprised in her tone. "Something emergency came up!" I didn't bother to look behind and went out.

K I A

Curious and sadness both covered my head like my hair. I am not feeling good. I can't even focus on my work.

Just 10 days left then my break will be over and I have to go back to my normal life. When my break is over, my new album will be released the same day.

Those 6 months I secretly worked on this album, everything is complete. Just waiting to release it and I am so excited because umm you guys will know later hehe...

But again it made me sad when I remembered about Arsh. Why was Arsh so weird while I was leaving?

He was acting normal the whole time but what suddenly got into him? At the end he was behaving so weird, he wasn't looking at me. He didn't even give me a proper goodbye.

He was also looking sad but what made him sad though. I just don't like sad Arsh, nor weird Arsh.

My phone rang, breaking the bundle of my thoughts and the caller id was ARSH!!! Not even wasting a second I picked the call.

"Hello!"..... Seconds passed but he didn't say anything. "Hello Arsh?" "kiA yOu aRe veRy bAd! YoU doN't loVe mE aT aLL!"

Oh my god! I widened my eyes. "Arsh are you DRUNK????"............
