Chapter 24 - Tuesday 1am

Varun: Hi

Jasmin: Who is this?

Varun: Well how many boys have you given your number to?

Jasmin: Varun?

Varun: Yes Jasmin…

Jasmin: Do you know what time it is? It’s 1am!!!

Varun: 7:30pm in London, so a perfectly reasonable time for me to text. So how are you?

Jasmin: I’m exhausted, because unlike you I’ve been at work all day.

Varun: Oh thats a good point…What do you do?

Jasmin: I’m a dentist. 

Varun: Oh wow, beauty and brains!

Jasmin: Why are you so surprised? Are there any other pressing questions that you have to ask at 1am?

Varun: Yes, how many siblings do you have?

Jasmin: Can’t this wait until tonight at the party?

Varun: Nope, I have to know now, so if you have a scary big brother, I can successfully avoid you, and keep my dashing good looks intact! I’m a lover not a fighter!

Jasmin: Lol, no big brothers, I have an older sister, she’s married and lives in the U.S.

Varun: Ok good! What about your dad, is he a big man?

Jasmin: Huge!

Varun: Are you trying to scare me away?

Jasmin: Yes! Will you go away and let me sleep now?

Varun: Ok, sorry :(

Jasmin: Hey Varun, I can’t sleep now…

Varun: HAHA I knew you couldn’t resist me. Ok so, apart from being smart and pretty, and potentially lethal to me, tell me about yourself.

Jasmin: Ok so my mum’s American Irish and my dad’s Punjabi. They met in college in the States and when they got married, my mum moved here. As a child I spent most of my summers in New York with my grandparents. I’ve been Aarti’s neighbour since birth and we have been best friends since before I can remember. What about you?

Varun: I’m one of four, I’m the youngest and I have three older sisters. Raj and I met at prep school and have been inseparable ever since.

Jasmin: What’s Raj like?

Varun: He’s a nice guy, always there for you. The guy you call when your car breaks down.

Jasmin: Lol, sexy!

Varun: Well I don’t see him like that, but girls like him.

Jasmin: So he’s had a lot of girlfriends…

Varun: Why do I get the feeling that I’m being pumped for information?

Jasmin: I was just wondering, is he a player?

Varun: He is most definitely not a player. He has literally no game whatsoever.

Jasmin: So who is Payal?

Varun: How do you know about Payal?

Jasmin: She’s on his facebook and Instagram.

Varun: So you’ve been internet stalking him? Nice. Now, should I be offended that you’re not concerned about whether I’m a player?

Jasmin: Are you a player?

Varun: Ok so back to Raj, he’s a good guy. Payal’s an old friend.

Jasmin: An old friend that he used to date?

Varun: That would be right, Nancy Drew.

Jasmin: I prefer Sherlock.

Varun: I don’t fancy Sherlock.

Jasmin: Lol, Varun you know I’m not interested in a relationship.

Varun: Neither am I. But how do you feel about friends who flirt? 

Jasmin: Good night, thanks for the info.

Varun: I feel so used! Good night beautiful ;)
