Hating Mr. Hot Mess

Chapter Thirty- Six • I'll Try My Best, Mother

"Inaaya down in five minutes!" I heard my mom faintly, well not faintly this was my mom we were talking about, yell from downstairs. I guess this was my 5th warning to get up.

It was a holiday today and I just wanted to sleep. Why does everyone have a problem with me sleeping? Have they signed a pact or something having the agenda 'Don't let Inaaya sleep'? Knowing I should probably get up and go down but my sleep was taking the matters in its hands. Before I knew it I dozed back to sleep again.

Not even 5 minutes until I made it to a castle, I was drenched in water. Wait. . . Water?  I snaped my eyes open to find the devil smirking at me with a huge empty bottle, grinning at me.

"Happy to see me?" He said still smirking.

"You're gonna wish you were not born right now!" I said getting up and already chasing him.

"I meet you after all these years and this is how you treat your brother?" He said. Ignoring him I take the pillow next to me and start hitting him hard.

"Okay, I'm sorry! Sorry! Stop! Innaya please? " He begged but I didn't stop hitting him. He might be my brother and yes I haven't seen in him in years but what he did was no way to treat your sister too. Well, technically I used to treat him same but still.

"Oh god! Will you stop? You both are already fighting? It's not even been 2 hours since he arrived" My mom said interrupting my little outburst. I took a deep breath and got off him.

"Thank you so much" Ahaan said to my mom.

"You're not forgiven though, that's the same trick your dad used on me. Like father like son" She said smiling and walked out.

Ahaan was my cousin brother. We used to be really close before I moved here. Since I didn't have any siblings, he was there for me. I was like his little sister, even he was a single child. We had a six year difference though. Still he was always there for me whenever I needed him.

"I missed you, pup" He said hugging me.

"So we're still sticking on the nickname?" I asked smiling.

"Yep"

"So, you're here for how many more days?" I asked getting up and making my way towards the bathroom.

"Three. I just got a new job and I don't wanna mess it up so I can't take a leave for more than that" He said.

"Okay, that's cool. Maybe if you're good to me I'll show you around" I said brushing my teeth.

"That's something I can't promise, but you have to show me around anyway" He replied rolling my eyes.

"Fine. But the food is on you" I say standing on the threshold of the bathroom door,  leaning against the frame.

"Deal" He said and got up, making his way out.

"I'll be down in 20" I say to which he nods and leaves.

Exactly twenty minutes later, I'm ready to leave. It's sunny and good weather so I opted for a denim jumpsuit and plain white t-shirt underneet it. And my favourite vans. I made my way downstairs and found mom and Ahaan in the living room chating.

"Is she again complaining about me?" I asked sitting next to mom.

"Nope, in fact she was telling me about your boyfriend" He said giving me an amused look.

"Well thank you mom, I thought I'd tell him but you did the honours" I said eyeing her.

"Look I just said his name, nothing else" She said.
