Destined To Be His

Chapter 12: Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 12 : Expect The Unexpected.

“Wake up, sleepy head”, Alia said pulling away my comfortable blanket.

“Go away, Alia. Let me sleep”, I replied searching for my blanket with my eyes closed.

“Get up or else, I'll put ice cubes inside your T-shirt! ”, she said.

My eyes flew open at her threat because she was a crazy woman. One should never underestimate her threats!

I sat straight on my bed and she handed me my coffee. With coffee in one hand , I grabbed my blanket with the other hand and made myself comfortable in the soft silky blanket.

“You're not getting that blanket”, Alia said again pulling the blanket.

“But why?”, I asked groggily.

“I know, you'll once again get cosy and be asleep the next minute”, she said sipping her coffee.

So you get to know how cruel she is!

“Is this some kind of punishment?”, I asked.

“So tell me! How was your date?”, she asked getting excited and completely ignoring my question.

I took a sip and moaned at its taste. She shook me, careful enough not to spill the coffee, “ Naina, I'm talking to you and not to the walls ”.

“Well......it was good”, I said tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

“So you are actually considering it as a date!”,  she said wiggling her brows and her eyes turning to slits.

“What's wrong with you, Alia? What's the big deal if I consider this as a date”, I said smiling and threw a pillow at her. I should've seen it coming, I should've have known that she would tease me till she has caused me enough embarrassment to last a lifetime!

“Oh my God! Look at you, you're blushing”, she said dodging the pillow that I had thrown at her.

She set her coffee aside and scooted closer to me, “I want each and every detail, Ms. Naina, so start speaking”, she ordered.

Now , I never knew, that after a tiring day at office and a date that revealed a complete new side of Arjun, got me worn out. To top it, Alia was her dancing at the top of head to get the details! Now, Alia’s arrival was completely unexpected! I sighed and looked at flower prints on my bedsheet as they suddenly seemed more interesting.

“I'm waiting because.....if you think you've got a way out of this.........then you're highly mistaken”, she said scanning her nails.

I told her everything about Arjun being gentleman ,him opening the doors, him complying with my needs for the food to be vegetarian.  Most importantly how he convinced me for the dinner to be date! I of course excluded the part where in  Siddharth had badmouthed me.

“You've never been so euphoric as you're now”, she said placing her hand on my arm where Siddharth had dug his nails. I winced in pain as her hand touched the raw bruises.

“What's wrong there”, she asked taking my arm to examine it.

“Nothing,  just a scratch”, I said retreating my arm from her grasp.

She grabbed my arm and I reluctantly had to show her my bruises. At the sight of those hideous bruises,  her mouth formed an perfect ‘O’ and I had to stifle a laugh. When I didn't answer, her eyes turned into narrow slits and she stared me with a heated gaze. As a result, I looked everywhere but I didn't meet her eyes; because they would make me blurt out everything. She held my chin making me look at her and, “ what's this? Now don't dare to make some story! ”, she yelled.
