Chapter 24: unsuccessful yet successful plan.

Word count: 3340

"They will never fall for it," Aditya said in disbelief, shaking his head as he listened to my plan of tricking Samaira and Kabir into going on a honeymoon.

"Oh yes, they will," I said, my voice filled with determination. I knew Samaira too well. She'd fall for it in no time, though convincing Kabir would be a different story.

"No, Naina, it's a bad idea. This is definitely not gonna happen. Bhabhi (sister in law) would be too suspicious about it and then our bubble will burst soon," he said, still not understanding the brilliance of my plan.

The plan was simple. We'd make them believe they won a free vacation, making them think they were lucky and encouraging them to go. I had enough contacts to set up fake people and companies to make it believable, and I was sure Aditya did too.

"Before she's your lovely BhAbHi, she's my Samaira, okay? I know her too well. She once even believed a fake website and bought clothes from it. When she didn't receive the clothes, she placed another order in an attempt to get that particular dress. She's naïve and will definitely fall for it," I said, stopping him from criticizing my plan and just helping me with it.

"Kabir is never going to believe it," he deadpanned, still adamant about his opinion and not even waiting for a second to think before reacting, like an ignorant git.

"You know what? Fine. Bhad mai jaa. Akele hi kar lungi mai (Go to hell, I'll do this alone). And here I thought boyfriends were supposed to be supportive," I huffed and got up to leave, showing how his negativity was more frustrating than Kabir's stubbornness. Why did he have to completely bash my idea? It's not like he had a better option.

He caught a hold of my wrist, stopping me from going. I tried to get rid of his grip but he was stronger than me, damn his muscles.

"Haath chord, Adi (Leave my hand)"
"Tsk, tsk, itna gussa? Par koi na, gusse mai zyada hot dikhti hai. (Tsk, tsk, this much anger? But that's okay because you look hotter when you're mad)"

He gave me a smug grin and winked at me. This idiot didn't even take me seriously. I was trying to stay mad at him, but his little flirty comments weren't making it easier for me.

"Shut up and let me plan 'my' bestfriend's honeymoon." I said, and made a second attempt to free my hand but it seemed like this guy was not gonna let me go anytime soon.

"Yes, I know, so sit down and we'll talk about this." I know at this point I should've listened to him, but I didn't, because of something that had been infused in me before I was born, stubbornness.

"Nope, all you've done today is ruin my mood with your constant negativity, so now I don't want your help or anything, so please, if you would let me.." and tried a third time to get out of his grip and this time I was desperate to break out of his hold, because we were starting to draw some attention.

"Sweetheart, sit your cute little ass down or.."
"Or what?" I raised an eyebrow at him, challengingly.
"Or I'm gonna make you sit on my lap." He said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I laughed on his face because I know he was all bark and no bite. He wouldn't actually do that in front of all these people of course, he had a reputation and he would definitely act mature enough, not to ruin it.

"Haha, yeah sure go ahead. I'd love to see you try."
He didn't say anything, instead he shrugged his shoulders as if to say, 'alright then' and pulled my wrist which was already in his hold, with a such a force that I lost my balance and landed right in his lap.

I just looked at him with wide eyes and jaw dropped to the floor, shocked that he would pull a stunt like this in public. But he didn't look bothered in the least, in fact that the dumbass was enjoying this. His one hand was securely wrapped around my waist, while his other hand rested on my knee. He looked at me, an arrogant smile on his face that said, 'gotcha'. If we weren't drawing attention before, we definitely were now.
