SMIRA'S POV

I keep looking at him, like a dumbo. Trying to process the words he let out.

He. Wants. Me. To. Be. His. Girlfriend?

"What?" I asked, my voice panicked with a mixture of surprise. My cheeks unknowingly tinted a slight shade of pink, just thinking the thought.

"No, I mean to say. I want you to act like my girlfriend," he said, prof. Aayan grunts slightly in annoyance, moving his hand from his hair.

Oh lord, that voice.

Shu! Smira. Nope, this is not that time.

"Listen Smira, I need your help. Will you take a seat?" He said, his voice holding uncertainty and uneasiness. Like he's nervous.

I nodded at him and took a seat. He sat down next to me and half turned his body to face me. I tucked my hair back at the side and his eyes travelled observing my action. His gaze remained there for a few seconds then came to my eyes. His eyes were clouded over the darkest shade.

The air was thick. Everything around us was now unseen to me. Blank. His eyes travelled to my lips. He swallows hard and oh god! The way his Adam's apple pops, it's too scalding.

Why it's so attractive?

Ugh!! Come back to your senses.

The sound of him clearing his throat made me come back from my thoughts.

"So, as I was saying; I need you to act as my girlfriend for some time.." he says. His voice sounded horse and deep.

"May I know why I need to act sir?" I asked, my voice sounding breathless to me.

He rubs his hands over each other. "The thing is Smira, my Granny is in hospital and right now she needs to go through knee replacement. She wants to meet my girlfriend till then she won't get ready for surgery." Prof Aayan says.

Oh. But then why did he say he has a girlfriend?

"Why would you lie to her in the first place?" I blurb out. I gasped and my face palmed myself for letting out my inner thoughts.

When I looked up at him he was already staring at me and his lips were twitching upwards in the slightest manner. I wouldn't have seen if my attention was not already on his lips.

"She's been nagging me to marry, and I don't want to get married right now. So to stop that subject the other day I lied but now she's nagging me to let her meet my imaginary girlfriend," he says. His gaze was somewhere else.

Oh!

"So will you help me with this?"

Acting as the fake girlfriend of my Prof will be awkward won't be?
