Shreya leaned over and gave Zack a bear hug as she bid him goodbye.
"Good night, Zack. Sweet dreams…" Shreya's voice sounded extremely droopy as if she might fall asleep right there on her apartment corridor if not for him. Zack returned the hug as he leaned down to peck over her head and said, "Good night, baby girl. You can get some sleep, now…"
Shreya reluctantly let go and went into her apartment. It was 3 freaking a.m. in the morning. So, she made to not make a single sound as she went in.
She struggled a little to close the door behind her without making any noise but all her effort came to naught when she found Charan still sitting on her couch, looking droopy but still wide awake.
"Why are you still awake?" Shreya asked moving towards him.
Charan did not reply. He just took her hands in his and led her towards the bedroom.
"It told you not to wait up for me, didn't I?" Shreya scolded glaring at him.
