DIYA

I glared at both of them, waiting for them to answer my question.

Abhi grinned cheekily at me and said, "Like I said, we are together." 

Ana tugged her hand from his and said, "That's all in his head. We are not together." 

"Keep telling yourself that." Abhi retorted. 

"You guys are making my head spin." Afreen said, holding her head.

"He's got this crazy idea that we both are a couple, without even asking my opinion nor taking me out on dates." Ana said, angrily. 

Abhi got really close to Ana, making her blush and said, "Sweetheart, I already made up my mind. We are together. Deal with it. And you want dates and flowers, we'll do that too." He then sat down, leaving Ana rooted to the spot, gaping at him. 

" But..."  I began, " Will you leave it alone. Like I said, they will sort it out."  Dev said, looking at me meaningfully. 

I glared at him and  sat down with a huff. Ana sat down next to me, which earned her a glare from Abhi, which she ignored. She took a long gulp from my coffee. 

" Let's go home."  She whispered to me. 

I nodded and whispered back, "Okay. Let's get out of here. These guys are crazy." 

"You are realizing that now?" Ana asked, raising her eyebrows. 

I ignored her and announced, "It has been an exciting day and I'm tired..." Ana kicked me under the table and I continued, "Ouch!!! I mean we are tired. So, we are going home." 

Ana and Afreen shot to their feet along with me and we made a mad dash towards the door with the deep rumbling laughter of the two said crazy guys following us.

ANA

I tossed and turned around at night trying to sleep,  the events of the day running in my mind. We are together. Those words kept beating in my mind like a drum roll, frustrating me. I didn't understand him at all and I knew he meant it when he said we are together. There we go again, those blasted words!!!! They were working havoc on my heart. I didn't even have Diya to talk to,  as she had to go home.  I sighed, wondering what surprise was in store for tomorrow. 

The surprise was a 6 foot tall male,  wearing a black Henley and jeans, leaning against his bike, arms crossed and smirking at 7 fucking O' Clock in the morning, on my doorstep. Yes, I was not a morning person. I had just woken up half hour ago, realizing I had a lab that early morning and rushed about to get ready. I immediately looked down at what I was wearing and grimaced.  I was in a simple white shirt and jeans with my hair in a messy ponytail. Damn!! Well, I couldn't rush back inside to change now, could I? No no I couldn't. That would be too obvious and what would I say at home and of course,  there was a lab I had to attend.  I squared my shoulders and walked up to him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. 

"Good morning to you too. I thought I would give you a ride to college." He said, smiling cheekily at me. 

"No,  thank you. Diya will pick me up. She's on the way." I lied. Diya didn't have labs with me and was probably still in her dreamland.

"Oh really. She didn't tell me that when I called her just now. She was mostly annoyed with me for disturbing her sleep. " He said, grinning. 

Shoot!! He was very thorough. 

"You got me there. But, like I said, I don't  need you to drop me to college." I said.

I saw his shoulders droop and he looked at me with soft, tender eyes and said, " Since, I'm already here, you might as well come with me. Stop pushing me away, I'm not going  anywhere." 

He climbed his bike and waited for me to get on and my traitor legs without my consent climbed on behind him, pressing against the length of his legs. 

Not a word was spoken between us, till we reached college. I got down and without a single word or a backward glance,  I moved towards the gates. 

"Ana?" He said. 

I stopped, turned around and looked at him questioningly. 

He gulped and said, "Which movie are we watching tomorrow?" 

I stared at him in disbelief. Yet again, he didn't ask me to go out for a movie. He just assumed that I would go. The nerve...

" Well, I can't tomorrow. You might want to actually ask me If I am willing to go, firstly." I said, Icily. 

" I didn't ask because I know for sure  we will go out for a movie this week and many more in the future." He said, arrogantly.  

I looked on in disbelief. His confidence was something else,  really and he actually believed what he said. He was such an arrogant son of a ....

"I am not free this week." I hissed. 

 "Why are you being so difficult. I am actually trying here." He said, angrily. 

Finally his patience with me was waning. His hard eyes bore into mine and held me prey. 

"You call this trying?!!! You can't just order me about and manipulate me into doing things." I spit out. 

"I am not. I am just telling you what to do." He said, coolly.

"That's what ordering about means, you asshol...idiot." I said, barely correcting myself.

"What did you just call me?" He said, glaring at me with ice cold eyes. Yup I didn't correct myself in time. 

"Nothing, I need to go." I said, quickly.

"I hear a curse again from that pretty little mouth of yours, you will be very sorry. There are people around or I would show you how sorry you would be, right now." He said, gazing at my lips with hunger in his eyes.

I gulped and squeaked out, " I need to go." 

He nodded and said, " Saturday, 3pm." and left, without waiting for me to give a response. 

My head was spinning with his mood swings. God!! how am I going to deal with them.

Ughhh what am I thinking? I don't have to deal with them. I am not his...

Keep telling yourself that. He already claimed you. Shut up!! I screamed at my inner voice and marched inside to get to my lab, which I would surely miss, If I didn't stop thinking about a certain male.
