Falling in Love Was Not the Plan — Chapter 13

'Shit! I should not have run away from there. Don't know what might Alex be thinking now about me? Oh god, we did I do that?'

Amara's room mate, Chloe watched her from the corners of her eyes, she was laying on her bed over her stomach reading a magazine. Her perfectly waxed legs were folded from the knees and the feet were facing the ceiling, she chewed chewing gum grimacing Amara between her leisure time.

She rolled her eyes whilst she pulled the pierced ring at the corner of her lower lip between her teeth feeling irritated. Amara was walking to and fro in the room biting her nails. Her specs were kept aside on the bed between the books and her bag that she had thrown on the bed right after entering the room looking disturbed.

And since then, which was now more than hour now, she was still roaming in the room nervously. "Come on Amara, just stop that!" Chloe said between her glares, her hands pushed the magazine aside, and she sat on her back. She crossed a leg on the other one resting her back on her hard pillow at the back.

Her nose flared more in irritation when the innocent room mate of hers stupidly chewed her lower in her front of her. "What? I don't know what are you getting yourself into nowadays!!!" Okay so it was not really her moseying that was irritating but the fact that the shyest room mate of hers, who never seemed interested in anybody's stuff has suddenly started taking interest in something that was not her business at all.

It was clear from the looks that Chloe passed her as to how well she knew what was up with her these days. She left her bed instantly and stood right before Amara not before forcefully stopping her pacing and staring her for a good evil moment.

Her eyes held many feelings, although she never considered her anything more than someone who she had to share her room with but today, she could not stop herself from interrupting into her business. "Look Amara, what you are doing is nice. I appreciate your warm actions but then don't hurt yourself in this manner because you have no idea what are you trying to play with!" If only Amara could know that it was directed to Alex then there had not appeared the lines of sudden shock on her fair forehead.

She was amazed standing so close to her that room mate who never even spared her a second or talked to her ever. Chloe Fernandez had made it clear to her after the first semester of the first year that she was not of her type and the betterment for both of them lied in staying away from her and her life. Still, she was the same Chloe who wore heavy make up, coloured her hairs into rainbow colours every second day and stayed out of the room on the weekends.

"I don't know what are you talking to me about? Did something happen." It was an anticipated reply from Amara, for Chloe.

They were now in the fourth semester of their specialization, and in these four semesters she learnt many of her habits. Though it was shocking to herself as well yet Chloe had a hard time avoiding her. Amara was such a soul who was just taken undue advantage of, and no matter what, in the end Chloe had to come ahead and help her even before she could get into any problem, without having let her know about this.

Chloe loudly exhaled her breath of circumvention, "No doubts you are still the same old clumsy Amara whom I have met on the first day of college. But now it is important for you to grow up as an individual Rebello, you are getting yourself into trouble you don't know about that." Yet again Chloe indirectly described about Amara's current condition.

By staying with Alex, spending her too much time with him and learning his unethical habits Amara was ruining her peace. The ironical part was that she had no clue about that at all. "I still don't get your words Chloe, please be clear." She requested.

"Oh come on, just grow fucking up girl! You can't see his game or what? Alex Ragnar is a player and you are involved in one of his games he's playing for the time being. Don't just act stupid and let him take advantage of you. You should know he is not a good guy." She shouted such that poor Amara fell back on her bed.

Chloe though did not seem to stop, she placed her left leg on Amara's bed and blocked her path completely, "I know it's just you helping him but then, I can also see what does that help is doing to you. Oh poor Amara! You are a kid in all this stuff, don't get too much attached to him. He is not a good influence on you Amara." she sat next to her Looking worried.

Now it was clear and directly said what was her meaning. Amara, bewildered by her words amusingly blinked her eyes knowing nothing how to react. She was in a dilemma whether to counter back to her for putting such allegations on Alex or take her advice seriously!

She looked down defeatedly, her heart beating fastly now. Alex was no doubts a playboy, and having relationships with infinite girls was one of his quality and Chloe, just as it could be expected easily, was her girlfriend someday who had to experience a heart break when Alex broke up with her after a week's dating.

Amara had seen her going crazy all the time. Alex was her dream boy who knew what she liked. But then, as it is said that there is no noise of the breaking heart, in the same way nobody can listen to someone's tears speaking! And Chloe had gone through the same in the first year when she committed the biggest mistake of her life of falling in love with him.

"I know you know he is my ex and I expect that you know that too, that Alex has a bad aura. You have seen me after our break up and I just want to alert you beforehand Amara, do everything around him but fall in love with him." There was silent, the two girls sat with crossed legs and for the first time, they in life were having a conversation like room mates— sharing feelings and experiences.

"You are a nice person and I don't want you to feel what I had gone through. You will be never able get over that Amara, Alex is like an addiction" Truthfully saying that Chloe heaved a breath seemingly cherishing the good moments she and Alex had.

"And if you know the current status in his life, that he proposed Bella last night in the pub after making her break up with her boyfriend then you ought to take that as a warning. We all know Alex did that for fun but Bella, aye has been looking for this moment in her life. She is obsessed with Alex and if she'd find out about you and Alex... She would make sure you are hurt to the worst level." It was scary such that Amara gasped in fear.

She had heard about Bella's feelings for Alex but never knew this was the real story behind such 'lovey dovey' actions of her Alex.

"So better for you if you try to stay away from him. As I can already see, he has started to affect you!" Chloe rose on her legs, she gave Amara a serious look that very well spoke she knew why she suddenly came back.

"I need to go out. You can use my tablet to watch anything since you yours is on repair." She said wearing her full clothes over her shorts and bra. Her hands combed her hair smoothening the curls of her hair. Chloe opened the door and stepped out, however she halted in her way and turned around. "Think seriously on my words, I might not have talked to you in all these days but I have learned many of your habits which gives me the clear idea as to when you act like what. Bye."

Amara played with her fingers as she saw her room mate leaving her alone in the room. Everything abruptly seemed a talk happened in the past and for now Amara silently sat on her bed, confused and thoughtless.

She did have feelings for him ever since she met him— that was from the very first day of college. But she was not aware of them until all these days that she stayed with him. He had made a place in her heart and Amara didn't know what it was for? Good or bad.

Minutes passed and she sat hugging her knees on the bed unless a harsh knock landed on her door. "Amara, open the door!" Amara batted her lashes trying to gather up herself. She wore her slippers still trying to register whether it was really his voice or not unless he knocked again, shouting loudly this time, "Open the freaking door Amara!"
