Ego over Relations

First Kiss

Benjamin's POV

Did I just confess that I like her?

"I mean, you are a good person, helped a stranger. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me" I said 

"One week, sort this. I want to see all the places before I return. I don't think i would ever return" she said 

She will go away forever?

"You don't like India?" I asked 

"In books, yes, I liked India but I'm not sure now. It doesn't matter I'm just a tourist, I don't belong here. I'm angry with dad but my life is there" she said 

"Don't judge with little experience" i said 

"Probably but I have never been in these kind of situations my whole life and you..." she took a deep breath 

She has very bad opinion about me

"You know nothing about me..."

"I'm not interested, whatever I experienced is more than enough. I helped you but you..." she closed her eyes controlling herself 

"No need to control, vent out your frustration" i said 

"Why? To get humiliated and treated like a shit by you! Looking at Joseph and remembering Dheeraj I agreed to stay with you for a while. Do you think you can force me otherwise. I'm not weak" she said 

How do I erase that bad image of me? She is right, I behaved badly with her. I closed my eyes in frustration. She likes Dheeraj, trusts him while thinking worst about me. 

"Joseph, is it too far?" She asked 

"Kollam, it's about five hours from here" 

"Five hours? When will we return then?" She asked 

"After few days, from there probably we will be going to Kochi..." I said 

"Ahhh" She screamed 

Joseph applied brakes 

"What's wrong Sita?" I asked 

"You didn't bother to inform me, I thought we are going for shopping. My luggage is in hotel. Every time I think things would be better with you, I'm wrong. You just make worse as*****"

"You didn't hear mom say we are going to grandma home?" I asked 

"No, it was..." she became silent. I can't blame her. We were kissing at that time

"How will I know where your grandma lives. I didn't bring any dresses. Didn't you get the thought that I would need dresses?" She asked 

"Sorry Sita, things are messy and I couldn't think of it" Joseph apologized

"Can we go back and get my luggage?" She asked 

"We can buy on the way. I will ask my men to get your luggage and vacate the room" i said 

"God! Please give me strength not to strangle this brainless fellow" she said 

"I'm brainless?" I shouted

"How can I let some men touch my personal things?" She asked 

"Don't worry, my men are trustworthy, they will..."

She laughed

"You have never been with any girl, I guess you don't have sisters either" she said 

I smiled

"It's waste to argue with you. Joseph, I hope you understand" she said 

"My friend lives in Munnar, I will ask her to vacate your room" he said 

Then it clicked me, why didn't I think, all her personal belongings including her inners will be there. The thought of some man touching those angered me

"Please warn her that room is messy, I have zero organizing skills. Martha takes care of my room. She complains that five year old kid keeps room better than me. Even Santhu complains the same when I stay in his room" she said smiling 

"You live with him?" I asked. How could she stay in his room?

"Not literally but I used to study and play with him. He is three years elder to me. He is computer genius, he opened software company when he was 18 years. He is my mentor"

"18? Impressive" Joseph said 

"Anyone can start a company " i said 

"SiSanT" she said with smirk

It's one of the top companies in software industry, billionaire dollars company 

"That's his company?" Joseph asked 

"He named it after us, Si for Sita and SanT for Santhosh" she said proudly 

"You both are so close, why didn't you agree for marriage?" Joseph asked 

"I already told you, he was there for me since I was born. He is the first one I run to when i need help or share anything. I can't wrap my head around the thought of life partner. I just can't...

I told my dad same thing, he asked me to think from then... it angered me. I couldn't go Santhu so I came here. I used my friend's credit card to book my flight.

My parents don't know about my part time job and Chase bank account. I used it for my expenses and Santhu tracked me.

In a way it's good, I don't have to look for job now. He gave me work" she said 

"Don't worry about mon..." I didn't finish. I'm sure she wouldn't take money from me

"I'm hungry" Sita said 

"Few more minutes, there is restaurant" i said 

"Don't you have something like chips to eat in car?" She asked 

"I don't eat junk food" 

"Live life man, all you care about is sexy 8 pack body. What's the point when you don't have a girl in life. Are you sure you are not gay" she asked 

She thinks I have sexy body? How can she think I'm gay after our kiss?

"Do you want me to prove again?" I smirked

"I will cut your balls if you ever touch me" she warned

"Be content that you are my first kiss"

"You think I go around kissing, you stole my first kiss and showing attitude. I can't believe I let some asshole take my first kiss" she yelled in frustration 

It made me feel over the moon

"I'm your first kiss?" I asked excitedly 

"Am i invisible to you guys... please censor your talks. Discuss in private. If you want I can stop the car and get out, you guys can go ahead with your second kiss or anything..."

Sita looked down blushing 

I smacked Joseph's shoulder
