chapter 20

Aisha's POVI was standing in the balcony of the room. It's night and twinkling starlight is making me feel much better. Periods days are tough for me. It has some reasons too. We just had dinner together. Today I admired his pure beauty. The way he helped me in the morning. It's so calming. My phone blinked. It's Sara.Aisha's POVI was standing"Hey Aish.. you know what? Ethan and I went to a date today." She said excitedly."Ohh" I said without any interest."Not just date.. A double date.. Ana and her boyfriend were with us.""Wow." I answered uninterestingly. I also want to tell her about today's incidence but I don't want her to tease me again. "Her boyfriend told me that he was also feeling insecure. And we did many..."I interrupted her, "I got my periods." She became silent. She knows everything about me. "It's okay. Do you want me to accompany you?""No.. but I want to..""Is that Ashton going hard with you?" She quickly questioned."No.. Sara! Actually he bought me packets today. And prepared hot water for me. And also he said me to take rest but I refused. Though he acts strict but he's so sweet." I said as my lips curved. She laughed and said, "See... Now you are defending him. Umm.. Have you started liking him? Tell me?"Why she becomes so excited?"No.. I don't like him.." I said, but I think I lied. I don't know what feelings are this. It's totally different."Okay don't tell me. Let's talk later. Ethan wants my help now. Bye bye sweetie"She hung the call. I'm confused this time. But I think it doesn't matters whether I like him or not, we will never be together. He won't like a girl like me. Further I am not his type.One week later:I'm waiting for Ester outside the changing room. In few minutes she came outside. She was looking stunning on the wedding gown. It was a long white gown flowing behind her. And we decided to design a veil with Floral border it which will flow longer than her gown. And a queen crown, with Desmond's signature carved on it. It's her decision though.She came before me, "Finally I am getting married. It's just a week. I'm so excited Aisha.""Yeah.. You are looking beautiful." I complemented her."Thank you so much Aisha. And I want to tell you something.""Go ahead" I replied."Take a gown in light pink shade. I will inform all bridesmaid.""What?" I was shocked. I just thought I am the designer of her wedding dress and nothing else."Didn't I invite you? Oh.. come on... Why won't I invite you? You are Ashton's..." She stopped for few seconds."What am I?" I asked her in curiosity."I mean you are Ashton's good friend. You are obviously invited." She made a fake smile. I felt she changed her words.I nodded nervously, "okay I will be there.""What? You will be there?" She asked again. I took a glance at her eyes. She continued, "I mean you are going to prepare everything for my wedding. You are bridesmaid.""Okay." I smiled at her. After the work, we took a pair of scandals for her. I loved how she enjoyed everything. Finally we went to Desmond and Ashton. We saw him wearing a black tuxedo. He removed it as he saw us coming in. And went to changing room. We laughed at his actions. Ashton saw us and said, "Are you done with everything?""Yes " I replied."Let's keep the outfit surprise for their wedding day." He said in his usual cold voice.I nodded back. Desmond came out in casuals. We headed to restaurant. After having dinner we came back to our home. After getting fresh I went in the hall. He was watching movie. I went to him. And sat behind him so that he didn't get disturbed. After sometime he asked, "Have you seen Ester's outfit?" I got shocked by his sudden out of the topic question. And how did he knew I am here?"Yes.." I replied."Is it good? Desmond's choice is very different. He doesn't wants revealing one and also he likes long flowing one." He said without looking at me."Yes.. it's according to Ester's choice." I said. Ester and Desmond are really lovely couple. Yesterday they revealed their relationship infront of media. They got many good complements. Their were some haters too. They disrespected Ester as gold digger and many other things. But they didn't hesitated about anything. I loved how Ester perfectly asked for her gown to be according to Desmond's choice. It's just one week for their wedding. From tommorow I and Ashton will be going for arrangements. In last week he took good care of me. I loved everything. And now I think that I have started secretly admiring his beauty. Not just upper beauty, his inner beauty. His kindness. The way he made me feel comfortable as much as possible. I walked to my room silently. And slept.Next day I woke up having good sleep. I got fresh and took a casual clothes from my wardrobe. A blue denim jeans and a turtle neck  black sweat shirt. It was casual and comfortable for whole day. I walked to door and opened it. I bend down from the fence outside my room. He wasn't there yet. I went to kitchen and cooked breakfast for both of us. In these days I got to know he loves spicy and hot food. I didn't asked him, but it's on the quantity he eats. He eats more on the day I cook spicy one. He likes sweets too, but he want on the time interval of somedays. I'm gonna make him a pastry and spicy sausages. Until the bread was being baked I made coffee and thought to deliver him to his room. I went to his room. Door was open. I knocked once, their was no response. I opened the door and went inside. I heard sound from bathroom. I kept the cup on the table beside his bed. The door of the bathroom opened with a sudden jerk. I looked at the sound. He was coming out in a white bathrobe around his . His wet hairs messed and falling on his forehead. His chest was visible. His veiny neck and hands made him more unique. The only word came into my mind as I pronounced it calmly, "So sexy!"He looked at me. And turned around. "Why are you here?" He said locking himself in the bathroom. My body started to burn. The air around me turned warm. A kind of discomfort, I craved for. I shook my head. I came back to my senses, "Umm.. I came.. I wanted to hand you coffee. I'm sorry, I will go." I hurried and walked out. My breath was so fast. I went to kitchen and took deep breaths while sitting on the chair. Again his picture in towel appeared infront of my eyes. Before loosing my senses again I shooked my head and ignored the feelings in my mind. But I can't ignore it anymore. I think Sara was correct. I'm loosing myself in his kindness and looks.__________________________________________
