SUMMER TALE (On Hold)

Piggy Back Ride

I tried to open my eyes but was unable to, due to the bright light that threatened to burn my eyes. My head was throbbing with pain and so was my body and the fact that I was lying on a very hard and uneven object didn't help. With every will power I could muster up I squint my eyes into slit and tried to open them . Ever heard of the phrase pain in the ass, now just replace the word ass with eyes. Yeah, that's what I felt pain in my eyes and my head, temple, back, thighs, hands and the list goes on and on, in fact the whole of my body was in pain but mostly my eyes.
I groaned as a sharp jolt of pain hit me in the legs while I tried to get up.
Paragliding !! Did I die? If I am dead then I am in heaven for sure. All my li....

"Seems like Princess Rapunzel is finally up. "A voice which annoyed me to the utter core spoke interrupting my thoughts . I definitely didn't die, because if I would have then I would end up in heaven and Austin in heaven. Gwaaaaaad no chance.
" You mean Sleeping beauty? "I offered with hoarse dried voice.
" Same thing , both are Princesses and you are not beautiful so why call you beauty? "He said in a bored tone. Asshole , he is the epitome of this word. Sure , I don't look like some model from Ftv and I seriously don't care but he doesn't have to rub it on my face to let me know about it, I know already. That hurt, I don't care but I still have my insecurities with me. I hate it when people judge me weather it's my behavior, attitude or looks. I just shrugged the feeling, maintained my cool and answered,
" But with different stories. "
" You watch Princess movies? "He said, amusement lasing his voice.
" Yeah. "I said shyly. Wait shyly? Why the hell was I shy? I am acting like I just told him I watch porn instead of Disney Princess movies.
He gave me are-you-for-real kind of look.
"I am a girl alright, I can watch those movies." I defended myself.
"Are you sure of you being a girl because you sure the hell don't act like one? "He asked.
" You don't have to act like one to be the one. Like you are human but you act pretty much like animal. "I said trying to prove my point.
" Humans are animal , class mammalia. "He retorted contradicting the theory I just proved or should I say I tried to prove and failed.
" So you accept that you act like animal? "I said with a smirk.

He turned towards me, his face only inches apart, the dark orbs so close even then I couldn't decipher it's colour. His eyes are exactly like him, beautiful, cold and mysterious . And with that husky voice of his he whispered," Trust me princess you wouldn't want to see the animal in me. "
Then he stood up and started walking and I sat there startled and gaping like a fish. What the hell did just happen?

" We are almost there, just 1km more. " Austin said.
" What? Just 1km, Austin Grey 1 km is not just. We have already walked 5km."I said between the pants.
"It's all your fault, you fainted that's why we did not land in the designated place and now you are fussing about walking. "He said glaring at me. This guy before me is delusional. He was the one who challenged me and now he is blaming me.
" Whatever. Can we just stop for a while? "I asked him.
He smiled and answered," Princess, you can rest for all you want but I am leaving. " He turned abruptly and started walking. Jerk.
" Don't ever call me princess, asshole."I yelled and ran to catch up with him.
"Do you think I will listen to you?" He said with a smirk.

After walking for about 10 minutes.

Thud
I plopped down in the ground. I was exhausted, famished and my whole body was in pain. I knew this whole paragliding thing is not for me.
"I am done, you walk I will join you. "I exclaimed, with my head between my arms.
" Do not tell me what to do."He said in a harsh tone and with that he picked me up from the ground bridal style. With that sudden gesture I went into panic mode,and then the ranting started "Please don't throw me like I will never order you. What? I never order you. What the hell did I do to deserve this? God hates me. Do you know I can do kick box......." My ranting was interrupted by the sound of a laughter. I looked at him and saw Austin laughing , he looked adorable. I heard him laughing but never saw him while doing that either it was too dark or he was embarrassing me and when I get to look at him laughing now I can't help the stupid smile that's stuck in my face. "You have dimple." I said poking his right cheek and then he stopped laughing. Stupid Summer, why do you have to do that and tell him he has dimple he already knows, why am I so weird?
"I.. I..mean I love dimples."I uttered in nervousness. I quickly slapped my mouth shut. What am I telling? I am super creepy.
"Oh.. Okay. "He stuttered looking at the other side. Blood was rising in his ears and cheeks now they were tinted with the colour red. Oh my God. Did I make Austin-Austin Grey nervous and blush.
" You.. You are blushing " I said between the laughter.
" Shut up. "He said, this made me laugh even more. He then flipped me and now I was on his back, my legs snaked around his waist and my arms around his neck. This surely made my laugh stop. Is he a gymnast? That seem smooth and effort less. He then started walking. He is giving me a Piggy Back ride, I always wanted someone to give me Piggy Back ride when I was small but not now and definitely not by Austin. I wanted my father I mean that sperm donor to give me the ride but he was never there. Never.
"Easy there, don't strangle me. " Austin said. I noticed that my grip had tightened around his neck. I quickly loosened the grip.
" Uh.. Sorry. "
" Are you fine? "He asked concerned. Concerned? no. I was definitely hallucinating .
" Yeah, what made you ask? "I asked him.
" Because every sentence that escapes my mouth is directly proportional to your snarky comments on them. "He said and I chuckled. He is not that bad is he?

After walking I mean Austin walking and carrying me, we finally saw a pizzeria at the corner. I quickly got off of him and started running in the direction. Myann.. I was hungry. The place looked nice with its wooden exterior, as we entered the place that wonderful smell of delicious cheese pizza hit my nose making my stomach grumble and mouth water. We took the corner seat and ordered half of the dishes that was in menu. The dishes were served quickly and we attacked it, literally.

"That was awesome. "Austin muttered.
" I agree with you for the first time ever ."I said smiling.
The waiter arrived and placed the bill in the Centre of the table. Wait money. I didn't bring any money with me. I didn't know I was going to get lost. The only option left was to wait for Austin to pay the bill. This is embarrassing. I can return him the money after we go back. I sat there awkwardly fidgeting with the hem of my t-shirt. Why is he not paying the bill?
"Can you pay the bill?"We exclaimed at the same time.
"What? " We said at the same time.
" I didn't bring the money. " Again at the same time.
" You don't have money? "This time I was the one to speak.
" Yeah, that's what I said. "He said in a duh tone.

" You both don't have money."I turned to see a well built tattooed man glaring at us. I looked at Austin with horrified face. What are we gonna do now?
