Lockdown

Sorry

PARI POV

I was angry. Why would I not be angry? He dared to shove my pillow at me and above that, even shouted at me! I mean, fuck him! Who the fuck does he think he is?! Alpha male or Edward from Twilight!? Or is he Beast from Beauty and the beast!? No. He is just a simple dickhead boss who needs to get it bad. Plus, what's with his anger control issue!? I mean, I myself have pretty bad anger management issues... But I don't scream at people without any reason! That's it. If he wanted any help with cooking, he needed to apologize for shouting at me! I am the one here teaching him something productive for free and he shouted at me for just joking around! 

" Yes. Cut the onions in small small pieces. Like very finely chopped!" and I tortured him by asking him to cut onions. At the end of it... Well, he was crying hard. Not literally but he was tearing up as he sniffled and snorted and I just sat in my place like a queen, ordering him around. You know, I missed this feeling. I remember Pranav being like that whenever he had to sneak out and asked me for help... Those were the days. I used to have my younger brother dance according to my directions and at that moment, I had a grown man working as a laborer. Although, after what just happened in front of his meeting... He wasn't looking at me. Maybe, it was the fact that he lost face in front of his employees, or that a girl stood up to him or the fact that someone shouted back at him for once. Or maybe that I went a little too close for my liking. Whatever it was though! He was not looking at me. He just hmmed every time I ordered him to do anything and just quietly followed all my instructions without saying anything at all. And our lunch went the same, silent way. He said nothing and we ate our food in utter silence. 

After that, I sat on my laptop, right next to him because... Wifi and binge-watched the entire series of Dynasty. Yes. I love drama and I love that series can they fucking upload all the episodes quickly already!? But all through that time even, he was just quiet and only focused on his own work while I stole glances. Because, why not? I wanted to look at him working. Besides, he was even wearing a suit! While working from home! How much more could he be fucking uptight?! 

Then came time for dinner and I this time politely asked him to come and help me because, well I just guessed that maybe he didn't appreciate the way I talked to him and although he didn't say anything, he was in the kitchen within 5 minutes. Making Pizza for dinner went smoothly too after that. I mean, a little too smooth. 

I like it when no one talks to me or disturbs me in what I am doing. I like it when there is silence in the house and I definitely liked the silence but this time, I just had this unsettling feeling... It just wasn't all the same at all. Something was off and it just seemed wrong because, for the past 2 days that he had been at my house, we had been bickering all the time. It just suddenly felt like I had done something wrong. 

Well, he got up and came to meet me after dinner while I watched the daily dose of my favorite soap opera on the TV (NAZAR... Yeah. I KNOW. Cliche! But I like it!!!); he sat next to me while staring at me. He didn't have his phone nor did he have any work but I didn't want to talk. So, I ignored him for the longest time before his eyes finally irritated me enough to look at him 

" What!?"
" I'm sorry," Well... Improvement. But I had my pride. So, I rolled my eyes and put the TV on silent as I heard him continue 
" With the Pandemic starting, everything has been a little too hectic at work and... I should not have shouted at you," Ok... He was coming around. But it wasn't like I was going to let him go so easily!
" You know what your issue is, dude?" he just stared at me when I pointed the TV remote at him 
" You want everything to go your way and just because you are rich. You ain't getting everything, mind you," I looked back at the TV and was about to switch the sound up if it wasn't for him to move closer to me
" That is not true,"
" Really?" I raised my eyebrows at him and he just stared at me for the longest time before his eyes drifted down and I had to act like I was going to smack him on the head for staring. But normally speaking, I've had so many men stare till that date. I wasn't even angry. So, I just giggled and played my TV once again 
" You definitely want it all... Your way," 
" Yeah but-"
" Wait. Wait. I'm preaching," I looked back at him and squinted my eyes, " You want it all your way, and when it doesn't go your way. You become Angry!" by the end of my sentence I was waving my fingers in the air and doing this like, mystic kind of impression 
" So basically. All you need to do is fucking adjust. For once," and with that, I looked back at the TV while he just stayed, frozen. I mean, because of my self-pride, I didn't particularly look at him but, I did look at him from the corner of my eye only to find him raising his eyebrows and nodding his head. Well, 3 days in, and I already, hopefully, managed to get some knowledge into that man's head! Hopefully!
