2022-12-14 12:14:30Liam walked into the children's section of the library and stopped on his tracks when he heard a very familiar voice.
" 'Why are you shaking the jungle to pieces??' Cried the parrot who had never seen an elephant before 'What kind of an animal are you anyway??' It asked"
A smile formed on his lips on seeing Mirrie sitting on a bean bag surrounded by a dozen five year olds.
Her face was so animated and she was telling the story, changing the voices according to change in character
" 'I don't know what kind of animal I am. I live all alone in the jungle, and I dance and I kick - and I call myself Sooki. It's a good sounding name and it fits me. Don't you think so?" She said in a more heavy sound and made a sound imitating a little elephant.
He saw her phone lying there and a smirk appeared on his face
Once his work was done, he kept the phone back and leaned on a bookshelf listening to her storytelling.
Seems like she is obsessed with children's books.
Once the story telling session was over he cleared his throat gaining her attention.
She looked up and her eyes widened in surprise and she turned around immediately to wear her glasses
But too late...he saw her eyes.
The prettiest eyes ever!!
Why does she hide behind her glasses??
Along with it came the nagging feeling ,why do those eyes seem so familiar?
"What are you doing here??" Zada frowned seeing Liam Fredrick looking at her leaning against a bookshelf.
"I am your shadow, my beloved. You cannot leave me behind" he said in a husky voice making her frown.
"I have heard this dialogue in some movie!!" Zada said her lips pressed in a thin line showing her irritation and he chuckled.
"Liam" she heard a high pitched squeal and turned to see, one among the five year old she had been telling the story to ,run towards him and throw herself at him
"Shona" Liam picked her up and twirled her around making the little girl laugh merrily and a smile formed on Zada's lips
Who would have thought?? Liam Fredrick would be so good with a kid.
****
Zada lay down on her bed after a shower.
She had started volunteering at the children's library last week.
The one person she hadn't expected to meet there was Liam Fredrick.
She hadn't seen him for a week after the moment they had in the corridor.
She really didn't want to see the annoying boy.
She heard her phone binge and opened it to see a notification indicating a message from Mr Sexy.
Who the hell is Mr Sexy??
Did Zahir change his name on her phone?
Because he is the one person in her life who is cocky enough to do something like this.
But opening the message reminded her that there is another equally cocky person who had forced his way into her life now.
Mirrie!! Wanna have some fun??
-L
Zada fumed
Where did he get her number?
How the hell did he save his number in her phone?
Z: Delete my number
L: only if you ask me nicely
Z: I am not asking you nicely
L: I am not deleting your number
Z: What are you?? A twelve year old??
L: if you have doubt about my masculinity, I am only too happy to clear it for you Mirrie ,if you know what I mean *winky face*
Z: pervert
L: aww babe , I was getting into the mood
Z: go torture someone else
L: It's you I want babe
Z: stop calling me babe
L: Aww!! Babe is angry
Z: Get lost jerk
L: Let's talk about your anger issues!! When did anger begin to rule you babe?? Did puberty hit you badly??
Z: Stop texting me and forget we ever met
L: Too late babe!! You are in my blood
Z: If you don't stop ,I will be only too happy to let you bleed to death
L: You mean you are a lady vampire?? Oh babe ,I can't wait to have your soft plump lips on my neck
Z: What about my six inch heels on your cheeks
L: I had no idea you are into kinky stuff. Bad mirrie, bad.
Z: Go die
She threw her phone away and groaned
Could someone be any more annoying
Liam fell back on his bed and let out a throaty laugh
When was the last time he laughed so uninhibitedly
He could literally picture smoke coming out of Mirrie's ears
It was helluva fun riling her up
Oh!! This is going to be a wonderful year

Zada was running towards the classroom for her second hour.She was already late because she had been held back after the first hour by a certain drama queen, her self proclaimed bestiee.She came to a halt when a six feet two inch trouble stepped into her way with a lopsided grin."Do you happen to have a band aid, babe??" He asked."Why?? What happened??" She asked with a little frown as she did a quick check out to see if he was injured somewhere."I just scraped my knees falling hard for you," he said, smirking at her, making her roll her eyes."Get lost," she said, side stepping so she could continue her walk to the classroom. "Aww! Mirrie is angry" he pouted adorably. Adorably?? How can a six feet tall macho guy with six packs be adorable?Not that she has seen his six packs!But she had heard a lot about it from her chatterbox bestie. "Don't call me Mirrie," she gritted her teeth in annoyance."Is your name Google?? Because you have everything I have been searching for," he

"Well well well, what do we have here?" They sprang apart from each other as they heard the mocking tone and she saw Liam visibly stiffening."Hughes" Liam gritted his teeth as a form of greeting and Zada furrowed her eyebrows.Where had she seen this guy before? And the name Hughes did strike familiar. She tried shuffling her brain cells to come up with the answer for her question."Fredrick. I didn't quite believe it when I heard that you were seen walking into the library. Seems like there is a slight change in your taste recently," the guy drawled lazily, giving Zada a leisurely once over, making her squirm.Liam pushed Zada behind him in a swift move surprising all three of them."F*ck off Noah," Liam warned, taking a step towards the other guy."Woah. Liam Fredrick is being protective over a girl. What has this world come down to?" Noah mocked tilting his head sideways to get another glimpse of Zada."What have you done to the f*ck boy, sweetheart?" Noah asked, looking at Zada m

Zada balled up yet another paper and threw it into the trash can near her study table.She had been cooped up in her hostel room for a few hours now, trying to draw Mirrie the mythical horse. Emma had come to her room twice and she had thrown her out both the times. She took another paper and tried to bring into the paper what she had in mind.When yet again she failed, she decided to call her brother.She knows she is good at art, but Zian is better. He is the one who inherited that talent of their father completely. She and Zahir could draw to an extent, but Zi excels in it. "Hello little sister," came the voice from the other side of the phone and she rolled her eyes"I am only ten minutes younger than you. That doesn't make me little, Zahir" Zada said dryly."I am Zian," came the prompt reply from the other side."And I am Angelina Jolie" Zada retorted sarcastically "God!! There is a limit to dreaming baby. Angelina Jolie is a tall order" the sibling banter went on"Don't yo

Zada gaped at Emma who was gobbling her breakfast as if this was the last day of her life. "Emma. Are you fasting for a month?" Zada asked in confusion seeing the way Emma eats."I am dieting from today onwards, Zada. I need my energy." Emma said swallowing the food hurriedly."This is how you diet?" Zada asked in disbelief. "I am eating only breakfasts from today. I need energy until tomorrow morning" Emma said, with a mouthful of food making Zada look at her in disbelief. "Why this sudden dieting plan?" Zada asked, confused because Emma is such a foodie."Yesterday that brat called me fatty. Her nerve!" Emma huffed in annoyance."Which brat??" Zada asked in confusion."A brat in my neighbourhood. I was on a video call with my momma and this girl had to be there with momma. That itself is so irritating. I mean doesn't she have her own momma. Why come for mine? I always hated her. Ever since she was born five years ago, she had been my nemesis. She always wants to be the centre of

Zada groaned and looked behind her to see Liam Fredrick smirking at her."Don't even think about making me miss another lecture." Zada warned"Oh you want to miss me instead. So that you could realise the depth of your feelings for me" Liam said flirtily"You know what. I am not going to respond to your silly pick up lines and waste my time. Goodbye Fredrick" she said and stalked awayZada entered her literature class and took her window side seat in the last cornerShe took her text book out of her bag and placed it on her desk when she felt someone sitting on the seat next to her"That was rude sweetheart. Walking away from the love of your life without so much as a goodmorning kiss. Mean Mirrie" Liam complained and Zada pursed her lips in annoyance"What are you doing here? You are not in this class" Zada said"Who cares??" He shruggedBefore she could respond, their professor Mrs Rachel entered the class roomEveryone stood up to greet her.

The morning rolled by and it was lunch time already.A very very hungry Emma is standing in front of the cafe, looking inside, drooling over the pizza kept in the glass case.People usually have a fight between their heart and brain and Emma is having a fight between her stomach and the brain.Her brain keeps reminding her of Mila's taunts and her stomach urges her to go in and grab the pizza.Pizza, the love of her life!Who is more important?? Mila or Pizza?? It definitely is Pizza, but then she couldn't erase Mila's taunts as well.Her brain formed an image of Mila wearing nothing more than underwear and holding a pitchfork, an evil smirk on her face."Stop drooling over the pizza. If you are hungry, go inside and eat." Emma looked at the direction of the voice and saw one of the twins "Heyy, you" she greeted without much enthusiasm earning a frown from the boy"What happened? Why do you look so depressed?" Zian asked. He doesn't know the girl well. Have only seen her once, but

Zada was tying her hair in a tight bun looking in the mirror.She missed dressing up.She always loved dressing up ,even when she was a kid.She was generally the off stage kind of girl, leaving the stage for her brothers. She loved to create her own stories and characters ,and loved drawing too.She was almost a nerd. But unlike other nerds, she loved dressing up and wearing light makeup.But now that she is in disguise, she can't do that.She was still in her thoughts when Emma barged into her room without knocking. Zada rolled her eyes. Emma would never knock. She looked at Emma from head to toe.Emma was wearing a denim capris and an oversized t-shirt. And her eyes look dull. More sunken. She looks sick."Emma?? Are you alright?? You look sick. Are you having a fever or something??" Zada asked, concerned only to earn a grin in return."I really look sick don't I??" Emma asked, throwing a fist pump in the air victoriously."What?""I am going to bunk today's classes. But I don'

Emma was sulking.CSK lost the match and she was on the verge of tears.Most of the students have left the cafe except Emma ,the twins, Liam and Izzy. Liam was in a hurry to leave once the match got over and Zian wondered why."It's just a match Emma. There would be more matches. Don't cry over this please." Zian said and Emma's lips trembled."You are going to brag aren't you. Your team won," Emma pouted.Zahir who was watching this exchange lazily took some of the leftover popcorn in his hands and threw it at her.She jerked in his direction and he grinned mischievously and took a little more popcorn in his hands.Emma is fast to retaliate and she took some popcorn in her hands and threw it at him which he expertly caught them with his mouth."How did you do that? Once more once more please," Emma said excitedly and took some popcorn and threw it at him again, already forgetting IPL and CSK.Zahir caught it in his mouth and winked at Zian saying this is how you cheer up a sulking g

Though Zian and Emma were recently married, they had fallen into a comfortable rhythm together, their lives woven in a way that complemented each other. Zian now led the Ahmed family’s business side with his characteristic calm and precision, steering it toward expansion with a confident hand. Meanwhile, Emma had tried her hand at a few things, but as Zian often teased, she had the attention span of a toddler. Her parents, relieved that she’d at least completed her education, had stopped expecting her to settle into any traditional career.Knowing her gifts lay elsewhere, Zian suggested she join the Ahmeds’ charity organisation. Rather than dealing with finances or administrative work, he assigned her something more hands-on. Three days a week, Emma visited palliative care homes and orphanages, spending her time cheering up the residents with her infectious charm and boundless stories. Zian knew she could lift anyone’s spirits with her words, and she eagerly embraced the chance to

One month later, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the campus as the group gathered on the sprawling lawn. The last month had been an unforgettable journey, filled with laughter, embarrassment, bonding, and countless challenges. But tonight, they had all agreed, was for celebration—a proper farewell to the antics that had drawn them all closer.Liam, of course, had been the master of ceremonies for this whole ordeal, and he looked especially smug as he watched Zahir and Zian reluctantly serve drinks, their expressions caught somewhere between exasperation and amusement.“You know, I think I am going to miss this,” Liam said, taking a glass from Zahir and winking. “Seeing you two bow down to me—it’s been... enlightening.”“Trust me,” Zahir shot back with a grin, “you have enjoyed this way more than anybody did. But don’t get too used to it, Liam. As soon as today ends, we are going back to normal.”“Oh, really?” Liam laughed, leaning back in his chair. “I d

“I am not a bloody playboy…” Zahir screamed at the end of his wits, leaving everyone in the room other than Zian, Zada and Izzy shocked by his declaration.“What???” It was Liam’s voice that rang out more loudly. Zada gave him an elbow jab asking him to shut up.“Listen, Emily. I am not a playboy. I have never been one. The only girl in my life is you. When I was five, it was only you. And now when I am twenty, it is only you.” Zahir said, looking earnestly into Emily’s eyes.She looked at him suspiciously.“Stop lying.” Emil said coldly.“He is not lying, Emil.” It was Izzy who spoke. “What?”“He is not a playboy. He is plain stupid. He has this dumb belief that if he has this playboy image, it would make him more popular. He is only dumb, not a playboy.” Izzy said and Zahir glared at her.“What? I am only telling the truth. Who would do such stupidities like you do?” Izzy asked with a shrug.“What makes you so sure?” Emil challenged and Izzy smiled.“Remember the truth or dare game

Silence filled Emily’s room as she lay curled up in Zahir’s arms, savouring the warmth and closeness between them. They had finally let their walls down and the silence that hung between them now felt intimate, peaceful."If you say that this doesn't mean a thing..." Zahir trailed off, his voice a low, warning murmur as he brushed a hand through her hair, his eyes locked onto hers.Emily laughed softly, resting her head on his chest. "You are mine, Emily Langston," he whispered possessively."And you are mine, Zahir Ahmed," She whispered back, equally possessive.Zahir smirked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. He loved how she was never intimidated by him, always ready to challenge him, push back, stand toe-to-toe. They lay there for a moment, wrapped up in each other, enjoying a rare, unguarded moment. But suddenly, the sound of the front door opening and footsteps approaching the living room startled them out of their reverie.Emily quickly pulled the blanket up, her eyes wide

The months seemed to fly by, drawing Zada and Liam, Zian and Emma, and Izzy and Emil closer together. Each of their love stories blossomed, surrounded by the easy warmth and laughter of new romance and friendship. But for Zahir and Emily, it was a different story. Their undeniable attraction was as strong as ever, but neither would admit to the feelings simmering beneath. Yet, every chance they got, they would find themselves in each other's arms, their moments of intimacy full of tension and passion. And each time, they would pull away, murmuring the same words: ‘It doesn’t mean anything.’One evening, they were at the apartment the girls share after a gettogether. The others had left in couples, for some ‘couple time’, leaving Emily and Zahir alone. The air was thick with an unspoken tension, an electric charge that always seemed to grow whenever they were alone."Are you seriously going to that party with that guy?" Zahir asked abruptly, his voice laced with irritation. Emily shot

He turned to his mom with pleading eyes.“What? I just wanted to know..” Madison said innocently. “Please keep a control on your tongue, mom. Don’t scare them away on the very first day.” Liam whispered to his mother in a pleading tone, earning a glare in return.“LIAM FREDRICK! How could you say that to your Momma? The momma who carried you inside her womb for nine months? The momma who changed your dirty diapers when you were a kid? The momma who kissed your boo boo’s away?” Madison asked, hands on her hips.

The Ahmed family would be arriving soon, and he could already feel his nerves bubbling up. Outside, Madison Fredrick was bustling around the backyard, setting up for the barbecue. With her usual over-the-top excitement, she darted from one setup station to another, adjusting tables and setting out colourful plates.Madison, practically glowing with enthusiasm, called out, “Liam!
