Aria's Pov

"Your mom is really fun, I really liked her." I say as I turn towards Zain, who just stopped the car outside my house. My home almost looked dark that means either my parents are in their room or they're already asleep.

"So, did she," Zain says turning towards me and giving me a heart-warming smile.

"We should do it again sometime," I say and suddenly I registered something, "What are you gonna do about Inaya?" I ask him and I hear him sigh.

"Leave that to me espresso, I won't let us get into any problem." He says and moves closer. His eyes were on me, staring at me. My eyes, my nose, my cheeks, my lips...his eyes kept staring at me.

"What are you looking at?" I whisper as he moved more closer to me and his right hand came on my cheek as he rubbed his hard thumb over there.

"You're beautiful," he says still mesmerized staring at my face. "I'm so glad that you agreed to come with me today,"

"Well, you didn't give me any other option or I would've definitely said no." I say smiling and his lips curved upwards.

"Yeah that's true, but still, thank you." He whispers and is fingers trace my cheekbones as he holds my face in his hard hands and pull me closer.

Oh God, is he...

"Can I kiss you?" He asks, his voice almost inaudible but being alone on the street and the silence in the car apart from our rugged breath, I heard it.

I looked at his eyes and he was already looking at me for an answer, I just closed my eyes and leaned forward giving my answer as a second later I felt his lips on mine and a jolt of electricity went through my body.

Oh God, this felt so good. His lips stayed a second on my lips before he took my lower lip and sucked on it as a low throaty moan escaped my lips, I felt his hands circling my waist and pulling me closer. Our chests were almost touching and that was enough for me to let out another moan.

"I love you," Zain broke the kiss only to whisper those words before his lips were on me again, sucking on my upper lip this time. Never knew kissing felt so good, especially if it is someone you love. My hands went towards his cheek and caressed just as I heard his deep throaty moan.

"I love you too."

The next day was Monday and some of our exams starts today. As I sat down to apply some nail polish on my toes, I remembered last night and unknowingly a blush appeared on my cheeks.

Zain was gentle and so soft yesterday and we would've kept kissing if it wasn't for my phone, my mom, asking me how long will it be until I get home.

"I will be waiting for more espresso," were his departing words as I bid him bye and entered my house with the same blush on my face and my lips swollen. Thank goodness my parents were in their room as I greeted them from outside and went directly to my room to calm down my breathing.

I finished applying the nail polish just as I heard a car horn. Ahana was here. My dad went to work early morning today and I called her to give me a ride to college.

I descended downstairs bid bye to my mom and walked out of the house. "Morning," she greeted me as soon as I entered the car.

"I know that look," She says after a minute of silence as we drove towards the college.

"What look?" I ask lost.

"That look, flushed skin, swollen lips, wide eyed happiness and that never-ending blush," she tells me and I look at her flustered and shocked. She laughed at my expression. "I've been there you know," she points out.

"Good to know," I say and she laughs.

"Oh, look at you, all flushed." She says and takes her hand to pull my cheeks but I lean backwards and glare her.

"Hands on the wheels Ahana, pull my cheeks later." I say and she shakes her head.

"You look really cute right now," she says and I just smile and look outside the window as I thought about him. Zain.

"Anyway, you know what happened yesterday." I ask and she makes a face.

"Aria I know we are best friends, but you don't have to tell me the details between you and Zain...I mean if-"

"Eeks no... not that." I say, my cheeks flushing as I shook my head. "Something else,"

"You sure?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then tell." She says as we near our college compound.

"Last night we went at Zain's place and-"

"I said no such details Aria," Ahana teased me again and I was about to continue but nonetheless I glared her.

"You wanna hear it or not?" I asked and she laughed.

"Yeah sorry, continue." Ahana tells me and I roll my eyes but anyway start telling her all the happenings about last night. Inaya, her unexpected visit and how she tried warning us. By the end of the story, Ahana was greeting her teeth.

"Oh, I'm gonna slap her today, just let her come to me or anyone of you, I -"

"No, don't do anything Ahana, Zain said he was gonna handle everything." I tell her and she looks confronted.

"What?"

"Don't know, but he said he had a plan." I say as we reach our college as Ahana parks her car.

"And my two best friends are here, well, hello their girls." Aarav walked towards me as Ranbir and Varun followed him.

"Aria, did something happen yesterday?" Ranbir asked in a serious tone.

I looked at him shocked, did Zain tell them about the kiss?!

"Why do you wanna know?" Ahana saved me and asked Ranbir as he just shook his head and pulled her closer and looked back at me.

Because he looked serious as he and Abeer left somewhere right now." Varun answers and I shake my head confused.

"Do you know where did they go?" Ranbir asked again and I shake my head and Aarav put his arms around my shoulder.

"See, I told you this girl doesn't have a clue what happens around her." He teased me and I elbow his hard which he just avoided and laughed at me.

"Though there is something that happened yesterday." I tell them which caught their attention and everyone looked at me.

I told them the same thing I told Ahana, and their face expression changed from shock to irritated to anger. "Don't know what that girl has planned for you now." Ahana muttered under her breath.

"Nothing good, I'll assure you that." Varun says and I look at him confused when I see him looking at something behind me.

I turned around only to see Inaya along with her mother i.e the principal walking towards us, specifically me.

"Morning mam," we greeted her as soon as she reached us. She ignored us and looked at me up and down and then took the papers from Inaya's hands and gave it over to me. I look at Inaya, her face looked smug and happy.

"You are not allowed to give these semesters exams as I got a complaint against you trying to cheat in the exam with the help of Bluetooth,"

"What?!"

"Are you kidding me?!" Aarav asked looking at Inaya.

"Excuse me Aarav? You're defining me?" The principal asked and Aarav immediately shook his head and looked down nor before giving a glare at Inaya.

"But mam, this is wrong, I wasn't planning on cheating, whoever told you that?" I asked.

"My daughter, she just brought this," she showed a piece of Bluetooth in her hand, "she told me she got it from your bag and you warned her not to tell me."

I was speechless. And most importantly I want to punch Inaya's face right in front of her mom and my so-called principal.

"Call your parents and tell them to meet me in an hour, Ms Aria, I'll be waiting." And with that the mother daughter duo walked off of there.

"Seriously?! What the fvck was that?!"

"Exactly, how can she believe everything her daughter says?"

"Aria just came here and how did Inaya get the Bluetooth from her bag already, who is she kidding?"

"Cheating is prohibited? Since when?!" At the last question everyone turned towards Aarav.

"Since when?! You asking me since when cheating in exam is prohibited?!" Varun asks and looks at Ranbir. "Why are we even friends with him?"
