Hey Jr.!

Chapter 18 - Dive In

She smiles to herself, with a devilish grin. Her gaze turns sharp "He's the guy that I have been seeing"

"Hmmm" Carlos says still looking down and not meeting her eyes.

Adarsh walks in with a jar of water and a glass on a wooden tray, he places it on the coffee table.

Carlos has his eyebrows scrunched reading the directions on the back of the box, on the dosage of the medicine.

"Okay, I need a spoon" he gets up and walks to the dining table to get one.

"Hey" Siya calls for Adarsh "Just play along okay?" She says and winks.

"No no no" Adarsh mumbles with amusement on his face "What'd you do?" He says trying not to show his face to Carlos that's on the other side of the room.

"Act like you're interested in me" she says he eyes sluggishly blinking

"God! You're drunk" he says noticing it "How much did you drink that you're asking a gay man to show interest in you?" He argues back.

Siya silenced him by placing a hand on his mouth and pushing him back, and viola! Carlos walks in right on time and freezes looking at them being so close.

He clears his throat and walks forward to take his seat, his eyes fixed onto the medicine box "we need to mix a spoon of this into this glass of water" he says doing so "and here you go"

"I hate how it tastes" Siya says making a face like a toddler

"Siya see?" He shows the pack "This is flavoured" He talks as if he babies her "It won't taste bad"

"Then why don't  you both drink it too" she says and Carlos is yet again loss for words.

"Mate! Do you need a drink?" He asks ignoring her

"I think I can use one" he says getting up along with Carlos.

Carlos sighs on his way to the bar "Just make something that matches the color of that medicine." He says and Adarsh nods.

Adarsh was mixing something when looks at Carlos up and down "How often do you workout?" he slides in a question

"Me? Almost 2 times a day" Carlos responds

"You got nice body" He says sliding the glass to Carlos

"Thanks. You too!" He compliments back.

"Okay here!" Carlos says sitting back onto the couch after they come back from the bar "Cheers!" They clink their glasses and take a sip.

Carlos looks over at Siya that also puts her glass down after a tiny sip. He gives her an unimpressed look, adding a slump to his shoulders.

"What?" She exclaims

"Drink it!" He says stern

"I mean you guys put your glasses down too!"

"I never knew you're so stubborn." Adarsh adds pushing the glass to her and Siya sticks her tongue out making him chuckle.

Carlos feels a burn somewhere inside.

"How about we play a game?" Adarsh suggests "If you ask a question and if someone asks you a question you have to take a sip. How does that sound?" He makes up the absurd rule exchanging a glance with Carlos, ultimately attempting to make Siya drink the whole thing.

"Cool!" Siya shrugs

"Okay I have a question for Siya" Adarsh raises his palm "How many colors does a rainbow have?"

"What?" Siya was disappointed "Seriously!?"

Adarsh bursts out laughing knowing that she's not going to fall for it. He gives it a thought and claps his hands "alright. How many relationships have you been in?"
