"You are going somewhere?" Greg asked me when he saw me packing my bag.

"Yeah, I have plans with Nico for business gala shopping."

"Oh Okay! I will meet you tomorrow then." I smiled at him before getting up from my seat.

"He is waiting for you?" kreo asked.

"Yeah!" I walked off my classroom towards the parking space.

Everyone already selected what to wear tomorrow. Only I left and Nico said he wants to go shopping with me. I saw him leaning against his car with his sunglasses on. He is wearing faded jeans and black T-shirt.

"I am sorry!" I said hugging him. While he kissed my forehead.

"It's okay." he says smiling me tucking my hair strand back.

"How was your day?" he asked while I buckled my seatbelt.

"The classes were boring and yours?"

"It was going good. I had a project meeting which went pretty good."

"Is everything done there?" I asked him about the event.

"Yeah, everything is done. Ryder is here and he already made sure that everything is in place."

"He is here?"

"Yesterday night he returned home." I didn't say anything just watched the cars pass by.

"Kia?"

"Yeah?"

"My parents already know about us. They are happy in fact. Don't you think it's time for your parents to know about us."

"I am thinking the same, ishaan already knows about us. He don't have any problem with our relation. Will you join me when I go to Hyderabad when I am done with my exams? So that we both can say about us together?"

"Sure baby, I will come with you when you are done with your exams."

"Perfect." I said smiling happily. I thought about saying my relation to my parents but I didn't feel it is correct to tell them by phone.

"And I am curious to know about your childhood and your life back in Hyderabad." Nico says which made me laugh.

"There is nothing much about it. It was boring actually but family gatherings and get-togethers are always fun. Festivals are fun and I always waited for them."

"You know we all visit Hyderabad once in a year. My grandmother is from Hyderabad. We, McKenzie's, Weinburg's, and Davie's we all stay in Hyderabad for one month." he said taking me by surprise.

"That's so cool! But dad never said that your families would be in Hyderabad." I said.

"I met your parents once when they attended Am'mam'ma's (maternal grandmother) house party."

"Ohh! I never know you people until I got to know that I am going to stay in your home."

We reached the mall and I held Nico's arm. We walked into the boutique suggested by xahria.

"Good afternoon ma'am and sir." the good looking lady welcomed us.

"What kind of dress you are looking for ma'am?"

"It's for a business gala and long gown." I told her.

"Any specific colour?"

"Black or white."

"I will go and bring our pieces ma'am." she said excusing herself to bring the gowns. She came back with a dozen dresses along with her assistant.

"It's going to take a hell of time." I said looking at Nico in horror.

"Don't worry, I will help you." he says choosing three dresses from the bunch.

One is white and other two are black. After trying six dresses finally we got the perfect dress for the night. It's an off-shoulder black dress with a split. It's easy to walk in that and I liked it.

"It's perfect." Nico said while I took a circle to show him the dress track.

"You know when we were in school, whenever mom and xahria go for shopping there used to be a fashion show in the night. They both used to try all the clothes they bought giving me, dad and xaiden a show." nico says with a smile on his face recollecting the memory.

"Don't worry, I will be giving you fashion show every week or month." I said.

"I am looking forward to that. You and our girl." he said while winking. I laughed blushing slightly.

"Let's go to dad's shopping house to collect his and mine suits." he said taking my dress bag from the lady. Even though I wanted to pay for my dress he paid it. We talked about the work with the organisation.

"Xaiden changed a lot when he finished high school. He used to be very arrogant back then. Everyone is arrogant but he and kreo used to top it among us. But something changed when he joined his team. He started being a jolly fellow and sometimes I feel like he is missing someone." nico said.

"What about others then, how they used to be?" I asked him.

"Ryder is a silent man, he have anger issues and he was deeply in love. But now he is having a serious relationship with his business and work. Elwen is the naughtiest one, he and Kenric are the prank stars. Kreo is the chill type person, he is an arrogant fellow among us. He and xaiden ruled highschool. Camryan the geek of the squad. The girls used to be with us every time. Aubree used to have a best friend Raine, she is very close to her but when Raine shifted her house she became close to rowen. Rowen was a playboy when we are in high school but things changed in college when he became best friends with Aubree. Kai and angel have hate and love thing going on, angel likes him from childhood, she would always say she is going to marry kai but kai being kai used to run away. I and boys sometimes think angel is the reason why he shifted to Spain but I don't think that now. Xahria is close to elwen and xaiden. Xaiden is her Savior. Ezarah is our youngest baby, we all love her and care so much as she is the last born of our four families."

I smiled listening to him, he is having a happy smile when he is talking about his squad. They all are very close and it makes me happy that if anyone is in trouble they have so many people to help them out.

"You guys are very close." I said.

"That we are, our parents were business partners but when we all were born we were of the same age and our bond became very strong. We all grown up together and did almost everything together. We have our summer vacation's together and we all go everywhere together. I love them though." he said tilting his face to see me.

"Your squad is awesome, you guys are superb and talented. It makes others jealous you know." I said making him laugh.

"Don't be jealous because you are a part of our squad now love."

"Yeah!"

"The old people think that our group is going to grow in number."

"I feel the same, even xahria thinks the same seeing the couples." we laughed imagining the boys with their partners.

"I am excited to see Ryder's, Elwen's, Kreo's and xaiden's partners." he said while opening his car door.

"Then what about others? Aren't you excited about others?"

"I am but mainly these four got anger issues and arrogance. We already know about kai and rowen, "
