Ashima's POV

Ugh now I have to share a room with him. Now I think I'm starting to regret my decision of coming with him but now what's done is done.

I washed my face and came out of the bathroom and saw that Edward was now lying down on the bed.

"I got up very early in the morning so I want to sleep a little" I said standing near the bed, indicating him to get up from the bed.

"Then come sleep I'm not stopping you" he replied while patting the empty side of the bed.

"Seriously, you are expecting me to sleep with you, I mean on the same bed" I quickly corrected myself.

"Yes I'm, see there's so much space you can sleep here" he said and that stupid grin is still not leaving his face.

"Okay keep the whole bed for yourself, I don't want to sleep anymore" I replied irritated.

"Okay okay I was just kidding, you can sleep here anyways I was about to go out. It's really easy to make you angry" he said laughing before leaving the room while I shook my head at him as a small smile formed on my lips, I barely see him laughing like that.

Soon after he left I got on the bed pulling the duvet over me as it's really cold. I'm feeling so sleepy and not after long sleep took over me.

I woke up as I felt the yacht moving and got of the bed before going to the bathroom to freshen up.

After that I got out of the room searching for Edward as I know only him here. The cool wind touched my skin making me shiver, it's quite cold here of course it'll be cold as there is only water around everywhere I can see. I looked around there were many people talking to eachother enjoying them self and I don't know even one of them.

Soon enough I spotted Edward, he was wearing shorts which were till his knees and a t-shirt in which he looked so hot I have never seen him dressed so casually. Ashima you need to get some control over your thoughts, I told to myself as I walked towards him.

Edward's POV

I was talking to my cousin Paul, Madison's brother when I saw Ashima walking towards us, I placed my hand around her waist as she reached by my side.

"You must be Ashima, Madison told me about you...sorry I'll be right back" Paul said but someone called him so he walked away in a hurry.

"Your hand" Ashima whispered gesturing me to take my hand off her waist.

"Why, you are my girlfriend I can do whatever I want" I replied while shrugging.

"Yeah but fake one" she said taking my hand off her waist I was about to say something when Madi came to us.

"Stop your romance and come with me, everyone wants to meet you" she said taking Ashima's hand as I also joined them.

"So everyone this is Ashima, Edward's girlfriend" Madi said and her mother hugged Ashima.

"Oh I'm so happy that finally Edward found someone" she said pulling away.

"You are really beautiful and I guess you are not from here" aunt Julia said, she is the elder sister of my mom and aunt Lisa.

"Yeah she's from India" I replied.

"Oh you are following your grandpa's foot steps I guess" she said laughing a little.

"And give her a chance to speak" aunt Lisa said.

And soon they all were busy talking to Ashima but they barely gave her any chance to speak. But still she looked comfortable with them.

"When are we going to reach" Ashima asked me as we all were sitting together talking and having drinks.

"We'll reach early in the morning" I replied as she nodded her head.

"By the way did you like my family" I asked in a low whisper so only she can hear me.

"Yeah, they are really nice people, well they are better then you" she teased.

"Ouch that hurts" I said dramatically.

"So tell us Ashima how did you both meet, I never got the chance to ask this before when we met" Madi asked with curiosity as everyone else were looking at us too.

"Uh we met at the airport" Ashima replied hesitantly.

"When I went to India" I added.

"And what happened after that" Madi asked.

"What happens in every love story Madi, kisses hugs and god knows what not you want to listen all of it" Paul said as everyone laughed while Ashima blushed, god that blushing face will make me lose all my control someday.

"Well I think it's quite late now we all should sleep" Joseph said.

Soon all went to their rooms and it was only me and Ashima left out.

"It's so beautiful" she said looking at the water and then at the sky which is full of stars.

"Yeah it's really beautiful" I replied referring to her and looking at her instead of the sky. There was silence between us but it was comfortable. She kept looking at the stars while I kept gazing at her.

Our comfortable silence was broken by her phone which started ringing. She received it,  but soon hanged up.

"Who was it" I asked.

"I don't know it was from some unknown number, no one said anything from the other side so I hanged up" she replied and her phone rang again, she again received it and the same happened.

"It was from the same number but this time also no one said anything" she said with a confused look as I nodded in reply and after few seconds her phone rang again with the same number but ended even before she could answer it.

"Give me your phone" I asked for her phone because now I'm feeling worried and suspicious.

"Why" she asked with a frown.

"Just give it" I replied taking her phone from her hand.

"Edward" she said while trying to take it back.

"Just one minute" I said while saving that number in my phone.

"But what are you doing" she asked.

"Here" I said giving her phone back.

"But what were you doing with my phone" she asked again, god she asks too much questions.

"Let's go and sleep it's cold out here" I said as I saw her shiver a little because of the cool winds.

Soon we were in our room and again she argued about sleeping on the same bed but this time I won but I assured her that I won't come on her side. But still she kept some pillows in between us, as if they can stop me if I want to do something not that I'll do anything without her wish.

Soon she was sleeping but I was thinking about that phone call, I don't know why but it's not giving me a good feeling. But maybe someone just dialed a wrong number.

But still when I'll go back, I'll find out that to whom this number belongs to, for the peace of my mind.

I looked at Ashima who was sleeping peacefully without any tension before my eyes closed as I finally fell asleep.
