After I offered my cold shoulder to scientist, without sparing him a look I went to my house. I supported grandma in cooking even though she refused it and asked me to take rest. Once done with lunch, I took a long nap. When I was up, it was already 5.15 pm.

I groaned as I got down from the bed and dragged myself out. I aggressively raked my hands through my hair and reclined down on the floor of the living room. It was quite spacious, can accommodate twelve people more precisely. Appa tried his best to convince grandma and allocate a couch in here but grandma never budged to Appa's words.

Grandma's taste was honestly so old. But old is gold. I personally prefer grandma's idea too. Just a mat and three chairs are available in our house. Anyways, there aren't many people who would visit us, so even three seems a bit over.

Leaning against the wall, I sought to comb my hair back to its normal state with the use of my hand, I'm too lazy to get up and search for a comb. My eyes were still hooded and slightly blurred due to my long sleep. With my eyes tightly shut, I struggled to undo a knot in my hair which literally pricked my scalp like a needle when doing so.

I cried in annoyance and just left my hair in its previous nest state. My head is already hurting from the force I put onto my hair strands. So let it be. I can ask grandma to undo it later. Releasing a yawn, I rubbed my eyes to get a clear vision.

There sat the great scientist in all his glory, his back slanting against the chair, hands crossed before his chest, a distinct expression swimming throughout his face. He always looks handsome. I huffed and looked away.
This is my hallucination, right? Of course, how can scientist simply come to my house...

Wait, is it really him??

He wasn't so far from my reach, I crawled up to him and pinched his legs. "Ouch..shh" he suddenly put his one limp over the other knee and gave me a furious look. This is really him!

"It hurts" he mumbled and I smirked.
Serves him right for having a girlfriend who isn't me. He should have informed me earlier about his love interest. If he had done that before, now I wouldn't be sitting like a mess in front of him.

I'm really so irritated.

"Why are you here?" He looked down at me with a frown. "Just came to see you" oh. I narrowed my eyes at him and scowled. "For what!" He sighed, appearing to calm himself. "You are injured, so just came to check on you," he said with a stern tone.

"Oh, you came to see my injured leg?" he again sighed and forced a tight-lipped smile on his brims."You can put it that way. How is it and how are you feeling?" He and his kindness. If he shows this much concern, any girl would think that he's attracted to her. But too bad, he already has a lover. I internally screamed thinking about that.

I smiled sweetly and answered. "Well, my injured leg is actually looking so beautiful with those striking white bandages, more to it as I changed it this morning, it was giving me a much better comfort. So I'm certainly feeling kinda elated with it." I fluttered my eyelashes at him. "You are crazy" he smacked on my forehead with his two fingers.

I gritted my teeth. He is already taken, how can he behave like this to me. I just want to bite his leg. Even If he thinks of me like a dog, I wouldn't mind. I'm just too outraged to speculate straight.

"I am not crazy, this is what you wanted to know" I uttered."I noticed that your leg is perfectly fine while you crawled with ease towards me"He had a teasing smile on his face. See, his every action and words are so appealing. Argh! But he is already committed.

"Then why did you ask me for the same?" I asked him with anger. "Because you wanted to know the reason as to why I'm here" he shrugged. Of course, I'm the one who asked him why he is here. He is right and I'm honestly becoming restless with my feelings. Am I really going too overboard?

Truth to be told, I couldn't just digest the fact that he is not mine but is someone else.

"Sorry" I loosened up. He ruffled my already messed-up hair and pulled my cheeks softly. I abruptly swatted his hand away and looked at him with wrath. "YOU. ALREADY. HAVE. A. GIRLFRIEND." I said word by word, putting pressure on each one. "So don't touch me or give me any other ideas" I mumbled in a quiet tone almost on the verge of tears.

Quite surprising how my mood took a quick turn.

"Maha, I don't have a girlfriend" he is still relaxed even after all my shoutings, but I could sense the battle in his eyes. Nevertheless, why is he lying? I, myself witnessed how she hugged and kissed on his cheeks. How can he bluntly lie to me?

"Don't lie. I saw her kissing you" He chuckled, his previous battle in those brown eyes was gone. A newfound spark was glimmering in it while he continued to stare at me with a smile.
"It's my best friend, her name is Amanda," he said and I frowned. "Then why is she kissing you?" I blinked in confusion.

"It's the way of showing her affection towards me" I narrowed my eyes. "Do best friends kiss each other all the time? Is it common? Only on cheeks right...? Or... " I trailed off not finding this action of kissing between best friends entirely comfortable.

He took his time to look at me with a heartwarming smile before speaking. "Just cheeks, only couples kiss each other on lips" thank god.

"Good"

I smiled up at him dreamily.

I'm soo freaking happy.

My scientist is SINGLE!
