09. Awkward

Super short! But it was either this or nothing so yeah...

I hope you like it (^_^')

~~~ASMAARA's POV~~~

Come on, how bad can this be? Twenty minutes and we are still staring at our cups, silently. So silent that I can even hear his wrist watch ticking. Baat shuru karun bhi toh kahaan Se? Kuch puchoon- par Kya? Kuch kahu?

Chup beth, Asmaara concentrate on your coffee!

"Coffee!" I squealed out of nowhere and instantly pressed my lips together when Shehry looked up. I parted my lips again but, couldn't form the words. Heck, I didn't even remember what I wanted to say.

Shehry stared at me for a couple of seconds before running a hand through his hair. He took a sip from his mug and politely smiles at me, "nice coffee."

That's right! I wanted to ask him if he liked the coffee or not. Genius.

"So," he stretched the word as if debating if he should continue or not, "tum yahaan kaise?"

Am I supposed to tell him the truth? No...

"It's my friend's house," I told him, staring at my mug, "I am just looking after it until she comes back from her trip."

"Right. So-"

"You hungry?" I interrupted before he could ask anything else. "Uhm yeah," he replied meekly.

"Erm.. Good with pancakes?" I asked. "Pancakes it is," he smile and I instantly sprung from my seat.

The only thing I know how to make.

~~~SHEHRY's POV~~~

I frowned to myself as Asmaara walked out of the living room. She looked a little too distracted while talking. Even though she smiled at me, there was still a sense of uneasiness; discomfort.

Am I the reason? I don't know..

I shrugged away the thought and decided to go help her in the kitchen. I am staying at her place so it's not fair to let her do the work for two people.

As I entered the kitchen, I remembered how she jumped an hour ago so, I decided to slowly walk up to her instead. She was holding a bowl with raw eggs in it. "Asmaara," I whispered but she didn't respond.

"Asmaara?" I called her again. She didn't respond.

I moved forward and tapped on her shoulder. "Asmaara?"

Asmaara gasped as she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me. Her face looked pale. She turned to the pantry immediately and started collecting the other ingredients while I blankly stared at her back. She panics every time I go near her. I am pretty sure that I am making things awkward for her. I think should leave- even if I have to in such weather conditions.

"Shehry can you help please?" Her voice grabbed my attention and I saw her on her toes, trying to reach a box on the top shelf. I instantly stepped forward and snaked my arm along her's to grab the steel box. She smelled like Vanilla and chocolate.

"Thanks," Asmaara smiled and walked around me. Without looking up at me. "Rabia is tall so kahi bhi samaan rakh deti hai," she chuckled and I sensed nervousness. She was trying to hard to keep a conversation going.

I laughed in response and kept the box back to where it belonged after she was done. It didn't take her long to make pancakes and soon we were at the dining table, digging into the yummy pancakes yet, silently.

After eating, Asmaara suggested that I should sleep for a while and even I agreed. I was feeling really tired and was in a desperate need of taking rest so, I headed upstairs to the guest room. However, I decided to call Hussain first so, I punched his number in my cell and sat on the bed.
