That was when my phone rang again and this time as well the caller id showed, ‘Prof Aariz.’
Zee gave me a patient look, showing no signs of leaving. Therefore, having no other choice, I received the call in front of him, with trembling hands. ‘Hello.’
‘Hey, how are you this evening?’ Aariz's voice came all husky, reminding me of today’s events
He seemed to be in a chatty mood.
What should I do now?! If Zee hears his voice, he will ask me a thousand questions about who is the guy?!
‘Hey Sanu, what happened? I hope I'm not disturbing you.’ Aariz asked politely over my silence.
That’s my queue.
‘Yup! You did disturb me. Actually, I was discussing an important matter with someone and my phone rang. I will talk to you later. Okay? Bye.’
I disconnected the call without giving Aariz a chance to answer or stopping to think how bitchy it was to tell him yeah you bothered me. Shit!
I know it was rude of me to brush him off like that. But what was my choice with Zee's nosy ears close by? That did not sound right. Ears can't be nosy. Oh hell!
After some catching up and discussing trivial issues with Zee, Dad and Grandpa arrived home. That made Zee hurry up to them in the living room for the important doctor thing he had come to talk to them about in the first place.
I decided to speak with Aariz now. I knew if I called him, his voice and talks would leave me breathless, knowing what happened today in college. Therefore, I deduced texting was the safest option here. And I had to be cautious so as to avoid lying about who I am talking to, in case my parents heard me and became nosy in my business. Locking my bedroom door, I typed him a text with a quick smile that appeared on my lips out of nowhere.
‘Hi! Sorry actually, when you called, Zee was around. So I couldn’t talk to you.’
At least it was the truth.
I waited for his answer, while trying to calm my blush the hell down and stop from biting my lips.
And it struck to me! I had never romanced with someone, as I might have to do when he answered.
God...I'm so inexperienced in this thing! I should have dated around before confessing my feelings to this guy. Shit!
Is it too late now to ask him to wait until I break some other hearts or get mine broken or at least get some heat and romance to be prepared?

‘Oh! I thought you had something much more important than us.’ Aariz's reply made my heart go boom boom boom.
Putting some hair strands behind my ear, I quickly glanced at my dressing table's mirror, and then rolled my eyes at my own clichéd love sickness.
‘No, nothing like that. Just Zee was sitting beside me, so I hung-up on you, before he could hear your voice.’ I texted back scared he was offended.
‘You mean there is nothing more important than the two of us?’
Hmm... So, he was not offended, just trying to be cute, and looking for compliments.
‘Yes.’ I obediently texted back, then realizing what I just sent, quickly followed it saying,
‘No!’
‘No? Meaning there are things more important for you than our relationship and me. Our relationship is not important?’
Why is he getting so hyper?
Is he trying to wind me up?
