Varun's POV:

(Varun's Studio, The Marmoris Casquetel)

A week. It's been a week since I last talked to Shraddha, there is this unsettling feeling inside me. It's not letting me eat, sleep drink or think. I feel like something has been taken away from. It feels heavy, like a really heavy weight has been shoved onto my chest.

It's not like I didn't try getting back to her, it's not like I haven't tried to apologise to her. Infact it has come to a point that I may or may not have filled her voicemail box. Don't you dare look at me like that, I totally did NOT call her 7685 times. I feel like if I call her anymore the phone company will block my number thinking of it as a Spam call. I tried going to her house, but Kamla Tai (house-help) told me that she was at a location site check in Maldives.

I fucked up big time, she won't answer me. Who am I kidding, Shraddha is that chick who will be the sweetest and the kindest person to you and take your bullshit, but only for a certain amount of time. After that she's gonna shut you off for a whole year, even if you try calling and apologizing to her everyday. I hope that's not what's gonna happen in my case, oh my God I need to stop panicking.

While I was thinking that, my mind wandered to the reason of our fight and right then an Idea popped up in my head. I knew exactly what to do. I would get 2 birds with one stone. With that I took out my car keys and left my Studio.

Natasha's POV:
(Natasha's main Office)

The boutique seemed pretty empty, more than it has ever been before

The boutique seemed pretty empty, more than it has ever been before. This fashion boutique is my life, it was a small dream 8 years ago. After working so hard and putting my all in it, I got it where it is today, with the help of my father. Seeing it crumble right in front of my eyes, was a devastating scenario for me. I know I tried hard and I know I am good at what I do, but maybe just maybe my time is not right. My boutique is 3 months away from it's bankruptcy date. All my effort is going to go down the drain. All my dreams are gonna remain just as dreams, as the reality shows me the world.

It is what it is. I can't do anything about it. As I was thinking, a loud knock erupted and interrupted my thoughts. 'This is weird, all the staff was sent home earlier today. There were no appointments due. My family is out of country, then who in the hell is here to meet me?'

With little steps, I carefully walked up to my door. As I stood in front of the door, another loud knock erupted and scared the living daylights out of me. I opened the door, ready for combat. As soon as the door opened, I got the biggest shock of my life. What in the fucking 'outta nowhere appearance' is he doing here? No, no no no no this ain't happening right now. Not right now please. Why after 7 years? Why am I dealing with this now? This idiot did not just re-enter my life just by knocking at a fucking door, looking so deliciously handsome. Wait, what? That wasn't me haha not at all. What am I saying? OMG shut up Natasha!

Varun's POV:
(Natasha's main Office)

Yeah, this is already awkward. What in the fuck was I thinking coming here? What in the world is she doing right now, why is she mumbling to herself? OMG imagine if she is possessed!? Yeah where's the door? Oh, right I am standing in it.

She has had a little glow up as well, if I must say. She looks modest, almost pretty. I didn't say that. She looks crazy though, look at her eyes widening and squinting at the same time. Bitch, I am out.

With that I turned right around, I may have been here to strike a deal with her. But I am not crazy enough to strike a deal with a possessed psycho looking girl. Yeah, no thank you. As I was about to step out the door, I heard her scream. I would be lying if I said I didn't just jump out of my skin. What's wrong with her?

Natasha's POV:

Yeah, I need to stop talking to myself. Wait, where is he going? "Hey!" I shouted louder than expected. *Internal facepalm*. Why am I like this oh my God. "What are you doing here? Are you lost? Who gave this address to you? Are you here to blackmail me again after 7 years? If you are, let me tell you one thing straight, I am not scared of you. I will not get intimidated by an asshole like you again!" I said trying to show my 'scary' face. Hah! He gonna run away now. Who am I kidding? This guy is the most intimidating person I have ever met. He was the reason my college years got semi-ruined. As I remembered the past, I got shivers down my spine. Yeah, never again.

"I wanted to talk to you, I found this address from my resources. Coming back to the point. Is it possible for us to have a little meeting? I mean looking around this place, it doesn't seem like you have any other work to do anyways." He said finishing off with a smirk on his face. This bastard is still the same, cocky, arrogant and a know it all. "Have a seat, and take your arrogance down a notch. This is not the same Natasha from 7 years ago, if you think you are gonna intimidate me, then you are immensely mistaken." If this guy is a successful actor, then I am also a well known designer.

"So tell me, why are you here?" I asked with a hint of distaste on my tongue. "I don't wanna twist my words or make never ending unnecessary conversation. I am here to make a deal." He said with a straight face and ice cold eyes. 'What does he mean by a deal? He suddenly remembers me after 7 years and decides that he needs to make a deal with me?' I thought to myself. "What deal?"

"A deal that is gonna change a little bit of your normal routine. I am here to make you my girlfriend." He said almost in a nonchalant way. 'What in the world did he just say to me? But the worst thing is why did my heart skip a beat? This guy j-just ask me to be his girlfriend after meeting after so long. Does he think this is a joke. Wait, is he actually serious?'

"What did you just say? You want me to be your girlfriend? How can you just expect me to be your girlfriend after all that has happened? I refuse to be your girlfriend. I will not. Just no." I said really trying hard to control my tongue, from saying yes. 'I know I am stupid for even thinking about accepting his proposal, but I can't deny the fact that I did have a little crush on him back in the day.' as I was thinking that, he said something that made me freeze right on my spot.

"Don't need to overreact so much, I am not asking you to be my real girlfriend. Do you really think, out of all the girls I could get, I would choose you to be my girlfriend? This relationship is going to be Faux. I am doing this so I can blur down a controversy that has been pushed on me. The contract for this fake relationship is going to be for a year. For a year you would have to act like you are my girlfriend, after that you are free to go." He said sitting there like this is his cabin and I am the guest here.

I had so many questions on my mind but the only thing that I could comprehend was...

What the fuck just happened....

-----------------------------------------------------------

So that happened... anyways how are y'all? Hope everyone is doing great.

(About the chapter)

Did you like Natasha's POV?

I was thinking of only having 2 POV's (Varun and shraddha's) but I thought this was necessary.

I have made Natasha's character a nice relatable character, so the story gets even more intense.

The real shit is about to start and I am waiting for it to hit the fan.

Anyways If you liked this chapter please:

I'll be back with a new chapter soon

But till then smile and spread love

Love you
~Mehak 😘😘
