The Upper-World man

Chapter 7

I walked towards my car, expecting Sia to be there, and there he was, sitting in the car, with his eyes closed, smiling to himself.

"What are you thinking about?", I asked him, as I got into the car.

"I am thinking about how cute you looked, with your hair all messed, and eyes barely open, when you woke up this morning", he said looking at me, the smile still on his lips.

"Shut up", I said turning the ignition on. I couldn't help smiling.

"You look like evening sunshine now, with that blush that is creeping up your cheeks"

"Is this how you are in heaven too? Throwing around your charming words to innocent girls?", I asked, rolling my eyes.

"No", he said, with the Snickers bar he stole from my purse, stuffed it in his mouth."Only you", he said smiling, after swallowing the bar.

"Your teeth looks brown. Geez, you ruin romance", I said laughed. But I could help the feeling of warmth that raised in my stomach. The feeling scared me, as I knew that this guy was not here to stay forever.

"Stop staring at me", I told him, my voice still hoarse from sleeping for twelve hours straight.

"I am not staring. I am looking", came the reply from Sia.

"Then stop looking doofus, before I punch you"

"You have to get up", he pulled my feet and dragged me off my bed,"You are supposed to meet your friend Rachel at 10"

"Thanks, you had been a bossy alarm clock. Now boy, atleast you could have lifted me off bed. You seriously lack romance. I am worried how you are going to land a girl in heaven", I said as a stood up, only to be pushed by him into the bathroom.

"I am not planning to. Now go brush your teeth and come before the toast gets cold"

After a hearty breakfast, I said goodbye to him and started driving towards the resort where I had promised to meet Rachael and her boyfriend for the weekend. This was supposed to be getaway, before we start working on your new project.

I parked my car on reaching the resort and gathered my stuff. I was so excited for this trip, but the thought that would be away from him for two days made me a little sad and I let out a sigh.

"You missed me", I heard the familiar voice from the backseat.

"What are you doing here?", I said, trying to ignore my heart doing a happy dance,"How am I supposed to talk with you in front of my friends? Rachael would definitely think that loneliness had caused my mind to conjure up an imaginary boyfriend, and would try to set me up with everyone, starting from the resort manager to the bartender!"

"I promise, I will not cause any trouble", he said, as I exited the car,"And by the way, I didn't know that you thought of me as your boyfriend", he said smirking.

"I don't", I said as I slammed the door shut and started walking fast, the feeling of his hot stare on me, making my heart beat fast.

I waved to Rachael who waved back and started walking towards me, with her guy, Kyle, following her.

Before Rachael could hug me, Kyle enveloped me in a hug, lifting me off the floor. I laughed and hugged him back. Kyle had turned out to be a great friend for me.

"So, are you not going to introduce your friend to us?", Rachael asked with raised eyebrows.

I turned to see Sia by my side, but I knew Rach could not see him.

"Who are you speaking about? There is no one by my side", I said, confused.

"Did you drink this morning? I told you not to do that. Your body doesn't have alcohol tolerance", Kyle scolded, as he widened my eyes to check for redness.

"This guy, you can't se..", I started saying waving my hands before Sia, only to be interrupted when he held my hands in his.

"I am her boyfriend", he said casually, still holding my hand.

"Since when? I am very angry that you didn't tell me, girl! Seriously, the only way you can make up for this is by naming your first born after me", Rachael said glaring at me.

The words barely entered my ears, as the only thought in my brain was that Sia called me his girlfriend.
