The whole next day I had pain in my head. I was dizzy when I woke up, but ate half a bowl of cereal and two glasses of water and started the day. I was nauseous the entire time. But was I worried? Probably.
Would I do anything about it? NO. I don't have money for doctor's visits.
I needed a break. On weekends too Caroline would give me a lot of paperwork or she would organize a party and make me look after the preparations, and the next day of the party, I had to make sure everything was clean and nothing was missing.
I already missed him. When it was my first break. He was the only one who accompanied me for dinner or any meal for a matter of fact. I wanted ice cream and a break. Is anyone listening up there?
Ugh! Nevermind.
It was lunch break and I decided to get myself that ice cream. I didn't have the will to spend money on McDonald's. I needed money for my coat. Some meals needed to be skipped. I can survive without food for a day, but the cold will kill me.
"One chocolate ice cream please" I ordered. I chose that particular for two reasons-
I liked it and secondly, it was the cheapest and the most affordable one.
Vanilla was cheaper than chocolate, but it tasted like a chemical.
"Thank you" I smiled and left the shop. Sometimes a smile can do wonders, you never know. And being polite and smiling doesn't hurt anyone.
I was sitting in the corner when a voice made me happy.
"Have some real food for once" he said and before sitting beside me, he kissed my forehead.
Oh my.
Don't squeal. Don't squeal. Don't- I did. But internally.
He looked at me expectantly.
"I do eat" when I have money is silent.
"Sure" he mocked.
He scratched his neck.
"Um- Are you- um Are you free now?" he stuttered.
"Why?" I asked.
"Forget it" he shook his head.
"No No No. Tell me. Now" I said.
"Are you ordering me, little one? Trying to dominate me, hmm?" I was feeling fuzzy again.
"I-I wasn't" I mumbled lowly and had a spoon of ice cream.
Stupid fella!
He chuckled. "Come on. Call your boss and inform her about your plan. Tell her you'll take the rest of the day off" he said.
"I can't do that" No. She won't agree.
"You can't or you wouldn't?" he raised his one brow. How can people do that? Mine's always two, never one.
"It's the same" I whispered and took a bite of my ice cream.
"No, it's not. Give me a minute" He excused himself by taking out his phone.
After 5 minutes he came back.
Remind me of his sentence again. Was it one or five minutes?
"You still haven't called her? Call her or I will"
"I'll do it" I fake smiled at him. I made sure to let him know how unwilling I was.
He's a bad guy. Bad Bad guy.
"She is not picking up," I told him.
"You haven't called her, Avha. I can see. Do it or I will" He surely is a bad guy.
I finally called her "Um Caroline, I-I want the rest of the day-"
"S-sure. Byee. See you on work '' She frantically said and hung up.
"That's weird," I said looking at my phone.
"What is?" he asked
"She doesn't agree, but today she did and also gave me a weekend off," I told him.
"Of course she did. Now come on." He took my hand and took me towards his car.
His hand was big. Like really big. He was big. Everything about him was big but a bit soft too. His demeanor is soft
I smiled at my thoughts.
"Where are we going?" I asked once he buckled me in the seat.
"Surprise"
"But I want to know. Please bubs. Please" I gave him a nickname. I GAVE HIM A NICKNAME.
"Bubs?" he asked. And took a left turn. The way his hand rotated the steering and he looked at the back. Uff!
"Yeah. Your nickname"
I could see him blushing.
I want to squish him. Now.
"Aww, bubs are you blushing?" I laughed at him.
"Shut up" he grunted.
I laughed at his expression.
He's Bad but in a good way. Hmm. In a good way
"Avha, wake up. Come on" His voice woke me up.
He kissed my cheek and came around my side. I took his hand and stepped out.
Why did I sle- Oh my!
