Distance Again
Vaidehi looked out of the window as the wind gentle blew on her face.
Its been a week since Damien offed his friendship and things where going smoothly. She still couldn't believe that the arrogant Damien Ryder , who hate anything and everything has offed to act civil and be her friend. He himself came and said sorry for his behavior and that is like a shock of the decade.
Thinking about this arrogant human , a smile automatically formed her face.
He does act that he is arrogant but, just may, be he not that bad.
Last one week passed with them bickering and teasing each other. Though they did fought once, but that was because Vaidehi thought that it will be cool to play "THE WHEEL ON THE BUS" just to annoy him, well and she was successful. He did ended up going to guest room downstairs just to ignore the loud annoying music that was being played.
Take that you irritating arrogant hooman! She thought as she smiled slyly and jumped on her bed after turning down the volume.
Revenge is the dish -best served cold.
"Why are you smiling ,as if you are planning to kidnap someone?" Rithika said and looked at her curiously as they drove toward Rithika's. house.
Vaidehi,who was lost in thought was bought out of her reverie as Rithika snapped her fingers in front of Vaidehi's face.
"Nothing, just thinking about how awesome it would be ,if we go and eat ice-cream?" Vaidehi sid nervously and Aarav, was sitting near Vaidehi jumped in excitement.
Rithika narrowed her eyes from front sit but nodded nonetheless.

It was early in the morning when Rithika called and asked her come and meet her ,she looked at Damien and asked if she could take a leave so that she can meet the. He nodded and when to his room.
Why is it so hard to understand him? She thought to herself.
"We are here!" Harsh announced as he parked the car.
Still lost in thought, Vaidehi sat inside and kept toying with purse.
"Are you going to sit here forever? Not that I mind but ,you legs might pain." Rithika peeked inside the car's window startling Vaidehi.
"Come out from your arrogant Orangutan's thought now, will you? We don't have all day!" Rithika teased as Vaidehi got down from the car.
"Whatever!"Vaidehi glared at Rithika and held Aarav's hand before walking away.

Damein sat with Ashton sipping beer in Ashton house.
"I still don't understand what's the problem! Who is that person, who keep stealing our design? " Ashton sigh in frustration.
"We need to keep an eye on few of our employees. There is someone working for them. I am sure. And it's a big plan." Damien frowned as he said scrolled through his phone.
Ashton looked at Damien curiously , a teasing smile played on his lips and asked, "Did you really said sorry to Miss. Aggarwal and offered friendship? "
"Shut up ,asshole! I am just trying to act civil because we live in same house!And yes I did said sorry, so what? I did a mistake and I apologized, what the big deal in that!? " He glared at him and replied.
Sure, sure, that what you were thing when you cornered her near the staircase and flirted with her? His brain mocked.
Which he ignored, and still continued to glare at Ashton.
"Wow, wow! breath in breath out, fire breathing dragon! I was just asking causally. Why are getting so bothered?" Ashton said a small smirk made it way to his face.
"Oh please. I know you okay? What you say and when you say, I know of everything very nicely." Damien said gritting his teeth.
"Wow I–" Ashton's voice was cut off by Damien phone ringing loudly.
He frowned and looking at the caller ID. It was from a private number.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Well, well, hello Damien Ryder. " A voice said and laugh.
"Who this? " Damien frowned.
"Oh, that you don't have to know. " That voice said and laugh again.
"If this is some kind of stupid joke than remember that it won't be– "
"Oh, it's not a joke ,Ryder! I am here to warn you!"That voice said darkly.
"List–"
"No! You listen. You better back out from ShineIn project that you are currently working on! " That voice warn.
"WHAT THE FUCK!? HOW DARE YOU? "Damien snarled.
Ashton, who was sitting near him looked at him in questions and in answer Damien just turned on the speaker.
"LISTEN TO ME RYDER, YOU BETTER BACK OFF FROM THIS PROJECT OR ELSE–" And the line was dead.
Damien bang his hands on the table in anger.
"We need to find this bastard!" Aston said rubbing a hand on his forehead.
"I hope John and Alina can help us soon.I don't want them to deal with this but, we don't have another option. They are the best we have. " He sighed rubbing his temple.
"Hey, don't worry, I will look into that matter. " Ashton said and patted his hand.
"I think I should go know. " Damein said and stood up and nooded at Ashton before walking away.

Vaidehi sat near the balcony and dialed her family back in India.
"Hello?"
And she got a reply from a babel of voices that almost startled her.
"Oh god ,you guys scared me!" She said a and kept a hand near her
"We are missing you Vaidu." Vaidehi's grandpa said softly.
"We want to see you, Vaidehi. You haven't facetimed us in a while. " Vansh chriped in between.
Vaidehi freezed listen to him.
She let out a nervous laugh and said,"I have been busy with office work lately, bhai(brother)."
"Please call us soon Vaidehi. we really want to see you, we miss you a lot baccha(kiddo)." Grandpa said and Vaidehi gulped a lump.
"I miss you too , dadu(grandfather)." Vaidehi voice broke toward the end.
"I need to cut the call ,Vaidu. There's an important call from office." Vansh said and they bid by before cutting the call.
Vaidehi let out a shaky breath and a lone tear roll down her cheeks.

Damien enter inside the house and locked the door.
He looked around , trying to find Vaidehi. He let out a sigh and walk toward his room.
As soon as her opened the door a bucket full of cold water fell on his head.
And Vaidehi let out a laughed and came out from the corned of the balcony.
"For fuck sake! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MISS. AGGARWAL!?" He snarled at her.
Vaidehi laughed looking at his face
"I thought I would just prank you a bit. How does it feel after taking a bath in ice cold water?" She said still trying to control.
"THIS ISN'T FUNNY MISS AGGARWAL! YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR LIMITS!" He exclaimed in anger and smile immediately left Vaidehi's face.
"But it was just a harmless prank." She tried to explain but he raised his hand.
"JUST BECAUSE I ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND SAID THAT I WILL ACT CIVIL, DOESN'T MEAN I WILL ENTERTAIN THIS BEHAVIOUR OF YOURS! WE ARE NOT FRIEND AND ITS BETTER FOR YOU TO KNOW YOU LIMIT THE BETTER FOR YOU! NOW LEAVE! " He was strident.
A tear roll down Vaidehi's cheeks as she ran out from his room.
