Out of her league

Chapter 29

Tanya's POV

It was a fine Saturday morning. I was supposed to go to a club with Josh, Dahlia and Sidd in the evening. Weird much. It has been a few days since Josh talked to me on the phone and things are super awkward between me and Sidd. That doesn't even make sense. But it's true. Like he was already angry with me and then after the call he snatched his phone away from me and glared at me. His eyes threw daggers at
me. What's wrong with me talking to Josh? And he never ever talked to me. Not even a word. I tried apologising multiple times but he became even more angry. I don't think I did such a big thing. Okay maybe I did. I donno, don't ask me. It's like when he sees me, his expression shows a confused state and the next second he flares up and goes to his room and- SLAM- close his door. Such a weird alien.

I opened my cupboard to choose a clothing for the evening. Oh fish. I had clothes for today but not tomorrow. How the heck can I forget to wash my clothes? Omgg I suck. I quickly took my laundry bag and rushed to the washing machine to see Sidd already going to load the washing machine with his clothes. "NOOOO!" Oops I yelled a bit too desperately. His head whipped to the side to see me and he gave me the signature look of  'where is this creature from' look. "What?" He snapped in annoyance. "I need to wash my clothes first," I replied nonchalantly as I started pouring the contents of my laundry bag inside the washing machine. He glared at me and raised his eyebrow. "And why is that so?" He questioned. "I don't need to tell you," I crossed my arms. "Oh really?" He started taking my clothes out of the machine. NOOO, OMG I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BRA TO WEAR TOMORROW I NEED TO WASH MY CLOTHES DESPERATELY-

Shit. I may or may not have said that aloud.

And he certainly din need to know this.

     Stupid. I dared to glance at him to see his lips widening into a smirk. His eyes tingles with amusement and he was trying to stifle his laughter. "Mmhm, continue," He sniggered. "You don need to know anything. Now let me wash my clothes first," I grumbled in a voice not too loud but probably loud enough for him to hear. "I need to wash my clothes too, I don't even have an und-" he gave out a sharp cough before continuing, "I don't have clothes to wear and I need to wash too," he finished. He was going to give me a detailed information about his underwear. Lol what even. "I don't care, reuse your underwear or something," I tried to sound serious. Keyword being 'tried'. Then he started grumbling something along the lines of 'why am I so stupid' ahahahaha. "But I came here first," he was glaring at the floor while talking to me. Like a five year old child. "Look at me giving a shit about that," I replied with as much sarcasm that I could muster despite the funny scenario. Seriously tho his expression is so funny. It's priceless.

      He mumbled something to himself and I couldn't catch it. I started pouring the liquid detergent before he spoke again. "Can we both do our laundry together? I really need to wash my clothes," he tried again. But it seemed like he was  as desperate as me too. But I could use this to my advantage. "Only if you forgive me tho," I replied, trying to hide my excitement. Why was I even excited? I don't know either. He grumbled something again and answered me. "Fine. Whatever." He started pouring the contents of his laundry bag into the machine. No 'you are forgiven' no 'smile'. How was that considered forgiving me? "Am I forgiven?"

Silence. He glared at me again. His perfect eyebrows cringed so much that they might have joined.

"Please forgive me?" I attempted to pout.

He was trying not to laugh.

"Pleeeaasssee?"

He chuckled before replying, "You are forgiven, okay?"

"Okay," I found myself smiling like a Cheshire Cat. When did I become so girly again?

-----------------------------------------

Sidd's POV

      I forgave her didn't mean I was okay with Josh and her together. I don even know why, but it doesn't feel right. I could never accept them being together at all. I knew Josh secretly planned this to be a double date and he would try to go alone with Tanya while hanging out. I just.. don like it. All these days I din talk to Tanya not because I din forgive her; but because I liked her and din want to talk her and develop more feelings. She is my friend's crush. And I have only known her for a few weeks. How could I even like her in that way in just a few weeks? And if I did like her, what does that make me? But whatever. Nobody will know that I have feelings for her unless I tell anyone. So it's fine.

     I was sitting on the sofa waiting for Tanya. "Tanu, your bae Josh is already on the way to the club, you know that?" I tried to tease her. Although calling him her Bae did hurt. "Coming," she was wearing a very simple but classic navy blue mid-thigh dress and her hair was let loose. She wore just a bit of makeup even though she really didn't need it and a silver coloured little heart pendant hung around her neck. So beautiful. The dress seemed to perfectly fit her everywhere. Errr... I am a man after all. A sharp cough interrupted my sight. Oh. It's Tanya. I must look like a tomato right now. Wow, way to go Sidd.

"Can we go now?" She questioned while not meeting my eyes, still probably stunned that I was looking at her like that. Her cheeks flushed into a light pink.

"Yeah sure"
