Myra's Pov

Someone was shaking me to death. Ugh! Why is the bed shaking?

"Myra just get up! We need to go to the office." Tara shouted.

"Fuck that office. I'm going back to sleep."

There was two minutes of silence.

Phew! She left.

"I heard that Harry Styles is releasing some music today."

Processing.

Processing.

HARRY FREAKING STYLES!!!

I jolted up like a thunderstorm and started looking for my phone everywhere.

"Phone!?! Where are you, Phone!? You better speak up before I cut your charger's cable!" I mumbled to myself.

"Good, now that you are up, get ready. We have to meet Kabir and Mr. Arora." Tara said as if she didn't just get my heartbeat racing faster than a bullet train.

"And I was lying about Harry."

I swear if this girl wasn't my friend, I would have killed her right then and there.

I got ready, wondering what was the hurry anyway? It was not like some Greek Gods were coming to meet us.

Wearing white checks pencil skirt and black long sleeves shirt and leaving my hair open, I left my room.

Tara was sitting on the couch, ready in her boring office outfit, reading some magazine. Sensing my gaze, she got up and walked towards me.

"You are late." saying this, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the door.

"Hey, what about my breakfast? I'm starving."

"Eat in the office. You know I hate being late to the meeting."

"If you had told me prior that you wanted to meet Mr. Hottie pants, I would have at least tried to get ready early. Keyword: tried."

"Shut the fuck up before I snatch your pancakes." she threatened.

I glared at her before stuffing my mouth with my lovely sweet pancakes to avoid her evil eyes falling on them.

We were in Tara's cabin, I was half sleeping, half-dead while Tara was immersed in her phone.

"Stalking Mr. Hottie Pants, are we?"

"Fuck you." What a great comeback!

I giggled and then there was a knock on the door.

And children out there! That's how Greek Gods came to Estilo, By walking.

Oh-my-my! Tell me! Tell me I will marry someone from them, have kids, grow old, and live happily ever after. Just kidding!

My eyes were trained longer on Kartik Arora. Come on, He was so cute, hot, sexy, and adorable!

My heart skipped a beat when his attention shifted to me and maintained our eye contact while settling on the chair. I felt my heart doing a little flip flop as his eyes hold mine constantly till Tara interrupted.

"Anyways, I wanted you to meet Myra, Myra Malhotra. She is my best friend and also Kabir's makeup artist for the event. I hope Kabir you don't have a problem with that." Tara introduced me to them.

"Not at all. I'm completely fine with that." Kabir said.

I was completely uninterested in this conversation even though it was about me. I was staring at Kartik, again.

Wearing casuals, board shoulders, built-up chest, dark brown hair slightly falling on his forehead and those lips-

Where am I going with these thoughts!

"Myra, what are your thoughts?" Tara questioned me.

"Those lips-"

Horrified looks were all I got until my brain came back from Kartik's lips to the boring conversation happening in the room.

"The spell, lipidi papdi poo spell, I will work like that on Kabir." I came up with an excuse. I knew I looked like a complete idiot but it was a better excuse than continuing with what was my actual thoughts.

"Huh?" Kabir was looking more horrified.

"I guess she wants to say 'bibbidi bobbidi boo', right Myra?" Kartik said as if covering up for me.

"What?" Tara and Kabir synched.

"Kabir, come on! Don't tell me you forgot the Cinderella movie. The Fairy Godmother's iconic spell!" Kartik ranted.

Kabir and Tara stared at each other, before heaving a sign.

After one hour or so our discussion got over. Finally! Now the love birds aka Kabir and Tara were in there her cabin. While Kartik and me were standing outside her cabin.

I was getting killed by this silence since we left the professional talk. As if sensing my awkwardness he said, "Myra, nice name."

"Thank you," I said a little bit confusingly as my name was unique and I never really liked it.

"So you and Sitara are best friends?" He started a conversation.

"Yes, we are more like sisters than just friends," I said happily.

"Good to know," he said, returning my smile. "Actually I was wondering if you would like to join me for lunch?" he ran his hands through his hair while messing it, which looked sexier.

Can I also do that, please? With a cherry on chocolate cake, pretty please! Myra control!

"I-I have planned to visit the library today," I replied nervously. Because he was the Kartik Arora and was asking me to accompany him.

It was so stupid of me to refuse his invite for lunch as I knew how females around were dying to hear him say the exact word we just asked me.

"Oh! I could tag along if that's okay?"

"Of course, I would like that too," I replied, grinning to myself.
