She dried her hair and then she turned back to get her phone and noticed him staring at her. She felt a rush of emotions at his expression and stare and felt her cheeks blush. He came back to his senses and said hurriedly " I am sorry, I knocked on the door and you didnot reply so I thought you had already left, I didn't mean to scare you"

Shriya: "It's ok, I just " she didnot know what to say and stood before him awkwardly.

Abhi : "By the way nice shorts, they look good on you"he daid playfully.

Shriya : "uhh....You bought them, didn't you? , I don't wear such things and I am in a hurry and packed whatever you bought."

Abhi : "You don't have to do things which are uncomfortable for you, but they look good on you"

Shriya stood there for a moment not knowing what to say and after a while of silence from both sides, she hurriedly said "Good night" to him and left the room.

Abhi's lips curled up, with a mischievous grin he laid back on the bed and closed his eyes.
