I was shocked.
and embarrassed.

My neurons probably competed against each other to deliver both the extreme shock and the second hand embarrassment to me at the same time.

And the fact that I screamed 'I love you' did not make things better.
definitely not any better.

I should've just died already.

'ahem'.

I came to my conscious and decided to address the human in front of me.

atleast tried to take an initiative to do that.

"what are you doing here?"

"who are you?"

I just died a second time.
i redied.
if that's even possible.

ofcourse it was possible, voldy existed, my mind says.

my mind's capability to make the lamest jokes didn't die i guess.

The sheer flow of emotions was visible on my face I guess, for he very politely said " I really don't remember you".

"I'm Tara"

"Which Tara?"

The one in the sky you dumbass,i  wanted to tell him so badly, but I restricted myself.

"Hira's friend Tara"
And then he remembered.

"Ofcourse Tararara, how could I forget you,you were-"

"Well you just did" I said.

"I did what"

"You forgot me"

"I said that as a statement line"

"Too bad I didn't take it as a statement line"

"What are you doing here ?" he asked trying to pause our bickering.

"What are you doing near my college,may I ask?" I asked in my fake nice voice.

"You study here?"

"I just told you that" I said exasperated.

"I'm here for some business "

"What business"

"Classified business"

"Simply roaming around and calling it classified business. Men"

My mood swings were really hitting hard at this point and I was tired of it.

"Where are you going now?" I asked.

"Why do you wanna know?"

" Wherever you're  going , you're dropping me home first." I said defiantly as I put my seatbelt on.

I wasn't feeling well . I knew I was being a pain in his ass( not literally)
but was too drained out to care that.

"Oh really" he smirked as he leaned against the window.

To hell with that smirk.

" I didn't know there was a change of plans" he says.

" Well you know now" I replied as I got myself comfortable in the car.

" Feet on the seat, any probs?" I asked smiling.

"Feet. down. now"

His jaws were tensing.

Of course he was protective of his car.
He loved his cars and bikes. All automobiles in fact.
I did not know that from stalking him. Absolutely did not.

Looking at him now, I was somehow reminded of my crush on him.

I had forgotten it for a brief moment as we bickered.

I didn't want it to get in my way of knowing and getting close with him.
If that would ever happen.

I gleed at him as he stared at me.

Irritation made his hazel pupils look grey.

"What if I just dump you here ?" He asked.

" You won't" I said sinking further into my seat.

"Why so?"

"I trust you"

" just that and you will come with me?" He asked laughing.

"And Hir's gonna kill you when she knows that you stranded me here" I added casually.

The engine suddenly started. The car was moving.

"Goddamn Hir" he mutters under his breath as his hands turn the steering.
