Eshana :

"Hello.."

Brad (Zach's Roommate) :

"..."

Eshana :

"Zach?"

Brad :

"Woah! Is this Ash's Angel?"

Eshana :

"Uh? Who's Ash? And who are you?"

Brad :

"The one you call Zach is our Ash and I'm Ash's best friend Brad. I mean Brandon."

Eshana :

"Oh, I'm Eshana. Nice, you talk to you, Brad."

Brad :

"Pleasure is all mine E... Can I call you Eshu?"

Eshana :

"Oh.Haha sure"

Brad :

"So, Eshu, I guess you are special to him or he wouldn't let anyone call him Zach. But what I'm trying to say is Ash has gone through a lot in his life and I don't want him to get hurt. I'm just protective of him. But you seem like a good girl to me. So just...just be patient with him, Okay?"

Eshana :

"Oh...sure Brad. I get it and I guess he means something to me. We are in different parts of the world but I'll not leave him. So don't worry."

Brad :

"Hm. Anyway, Es-"

Zach :

"Dude? What are you doing on my phone?"

Brad :

*whispers* "...Eshu? Play along okay?"

Eshana :

"What? Oh.Haha! okay."

Brad :

"Ahem. So Angel, I bet you're just beautiful as your voice. I wish we could grab a cup of coffee together-"

Zach :

"Wha-? WTF is going on?!!! Who are you calling ANGEL? You Bas- DUDE!!! Give me my phone back!!!!"

Brad :

"Esh-Ahh! DAMMIT. Angel help!!!! Ash! Stop throwing things at me! EW. Dude! Anything but your socks! Don't throw your socks on me!! A**hole! Eshu bye! It was great talking to you!!!"

Eshana :

"Oh my god!!! Haha. Bye Brad! The feeling is mutual"

Zach :

"Huh! Get out of my room now!-*bang!* "

Eshana :

"...."

Zach :

"So..."

Eshana :

"Hey, Zach. You have a great friend"

Zach :

"Thank you, Angel. So, How are you feeling today? Did you talk to your parents?"

Eshana :

"I'm good Zach, and no, not really. It's my dad's bday and I don't wanna upset him today. I'll talk to them tomorrow"

Zach :

"Hm. By the way, It's been more than a week since we've been talking. Tell me something about you."

Eshana :

"About me? There's nothing much to say about me. I'm Eshana from Mumbai, India. I'm 21 years old girl who loves music and sketching. I love long drives and sports. I also have an interest in studying business and love peaceful life..yeah. That's all"

Zach :

"Oh Wow. Do you love sports? To watch or play?"

Eshana :

"Both. I used to play during my school days."

Zach :

"Which is your favorite sport?"

Eshana :

"I love cricket and football. I also play basketball."

Zach :

"Uh. Wow..."

Eshana :

"Why? And tell me about you too.."

Zach :

"Well... I'm Zachary Ashford, the hottest guy in the world–"

Eshana :

"And my kid is pregnant with quadruples"

Zach :

"....."

"–did you just mock me?"

Eshana :

"Yeah, I did. And you can't do anything about it"

Zach :

"Yet. Can't do anything yet, angel. But one day? Sure. Anyway, back to me, I live in San Francisco, California. I'm 23 year old who plays football. I love music and traveling. I used to be a party boy but now I don't go to parties a lot due to practice. I hate math and history. I play video games. I don't like sweets. Yeah, I guess that's all."

Eshana :

"No wonder you asked me about sports. And you hate math? That's not surprising."

Zach :

"It's so confusing. Especially the integration and stuff. I bet most of them agree with me"

Eshana :

"Sure they do. It's the common statement though. Anyway, I need to go now to get ready for my dad's birthday party."

Zach :

"I'd love to see how you look.

Can I..?"

Eshana :

"Uh. Sure. I'll try to send a pic. Bye"

Zach :

"Byee..."

*beep*beep*

____________

Eshana's POV :

"What did I just do? Did I just say I'll send a pic? Sure as hell I'll lose my words when I talk to him. If my parents get to know that I'm talking to a GUY from ANOTHER continent, I'm done for."
