Inside the store, Ridima & Alia were walking by the food aisle collecting chips packs.
"So you like travelling I guess?" - Alia
"Yeah. and I love Himachal a lot. Really looking forward to it." - Ridima said, bending down to pick a chocolate bar & distracting Alia again with the view.
"Nice. My girlfriend loves Himachal too." - Alia
"Oh nice.." - Ridima.
"Ex girlfriend, I mean." - Alia.
"Um hmm.." - Ridima.
"I mean I'm bisexual, just FYI." - Alia
"That's nice.." - Ridima.
"I mean most people kinda get scandalised when I say 'my girlfriend' so I thought I should mention it. It's no big deal." - Alia.
"No problem." - Ridima.
Alia sighed. There was too little time to put moves on Ridima & her attempts were getting too desperate & silly.
"So the guy & girl in the car are your friends?" - Ridima
"Oh. Jay & Sejal. That's my brother & sister. Anyway, did you ever date girls?" - Alia
"No.. not really." - Ridima.
"Ever thought about it?" - Alia
"No.. most of my friends are heterosexual." - Ridima.
"Well even I'm just starting out to explore. Kinda experimenting you know?" - Alia.
"but you said you had an ex-girlfriend right?" - Ridima.
"oh.. did I? Yeah I mean, it was too fast. I mean we slept together once & we were like we're girlfriends! Yaay! But we broke up immediately." - Alia
"Oh sorry about that." - Ridima.
"Yeah I mean she said I gave her the best orgasm ever but - she had to move to a different city, so we broke up." - Alia
"Oh, sad." - Ridima.
"Yeah right? I mean after having the best, toe curling orgasm, long distance just can't work! Am I right?" - Alia.
"I guess so." - Ridima.
Alia officially gave up now. She had never embarrassed herself this much.. but then one look at Ridima's breasts and she melted again.
'I love your boobs!" - Alia blurted out.
"I'm sorry?" - Ridima turned to look at her.
"I said I.. love your boobs. They look.. nice." - Alia didn't know what to say.
"Oh.. thanks. I like your boobs too." - Ridima said very casually & Alia just kept staring at her.
"I just can't figure out this girl." - Alia gave up and moved on to the cash counter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what do you think about this stupid pact?" - Jay asked Sejal.
"I think she makes sense." - Sejal shrugged.
"Seriously?" - Jay
"Ya bro.. At least the part about distance sweetening the deal. If we're always there for each other, we might start taking each other for granted."
"Now you're speaking like mom" - Jay sighed. Sejal laughed.
"Trust me. It will be fun. It's just a matter of a week. It will be fun to hook up with strangers on the way and never see them again."
"That does sound fun.. but where do we put our moves? I already had a bad start with Miss Surat." - Jay
"Don't worry there will be more.. we called dibs on Ridima, but there will be more." - Sejal
"Very funny. Trust me. Dibs or no dibs, I'll be the one winning this battle first." - Jay
"Not until you get rid of that tomato ketchup smell on your D." - Sejal
"That's not a big deal.. please clean it off me?" - Jay.
Sejal looked at him in disbelief..
"Thank god for the pact... No thanks!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the car, Alia realised, Sejal had shifted to the back seat and Jay was sitting in the front seat with a grumpy face.
"Sejal.. just sitting with her isn't gonna help you score." - Alia
"Well watch me score." - Sejal
"Then I don't wana drive." - Alia
"Jay will." - Sejal
"I'll sit in the back seat too.." - Alia
"Then Ridima will sit in front!" - Sejal
"Yaayy.." - Jay
"Shut up Jay. I already told her you're a loser. She won't go for you." - Alia
"Okay calm down guys she's coming here." - Sejal
"All this is happening because of your stupid pact." - Jay
"Ssshhhh!"
Ridima walked to the car looking at her phone in disbelief..
"What the fuck?"
"What happened?" - Alia
"My flight got cancelled." - Ridima.
"How come it got cancelled? They'll give you some other option instead." - Alia
"No they won't. They're giving a refund. I didn't know cheap flights come with this kind of service!" - Ridima.
"Well check for other flights.." - Sejal
"No! Other flights will be too expensive right now." - Jay exclaimed.
"Yeah true. Why don't you ride with us? We'll reach Delhi by early morning." - Alia
"Oh we're going to Delhi?" - Sejal
"We are!" - Alia raised eyebrows at Sejal.
"I mean my trekking group leaves tomorrow afternoon so I guess it's fine.." - Ridima.
"Great. hop in." - Sejal opened the door for her. Ridima went to the back seat.
Alia threw the keys to Jay & declared,
"I'm not driving."
