The Gorgeous Nerd

Chapter 35. Whoops!

"I am dying. I am so dying today. I don't want to! Jesus!" I get short of breath as I howl in my seat, when we get just inches close to being hit by a car.

The mad pace of the car has all the bile coming up in my mouth.

"So much for your lame little act of fooling around, no darling?" He is leaving no chance to mock me even now.

"Oh, come on! At least I was not risking a life!" I scowl.

"Well, I won't let you die. Atleast, not until I get you where I am taking you!" His face lights up.

I turn to catch a glance of his Godly face. His cocky grin and thrilled expressions at this mad speed are torturing every cell in my body right now.

"I hate you!" I speak annoyed to the core.

He smiles. "Sure!"

I do a big eye roll.

"Tell me something?" He speaks.

"I am not talking to you." I sulk.

"Really?" He chuckles as if I were a brooding kid.

My eyes are affixed at the windscreen. "Yes and I regret this so bad. I would never sit in the same car as you. Never, ever again!"

I fold my arms angrily.

His smile grows wider. "You are so cute when you do that."

"You know, you are criminal. And a kidnapper." I blurt.

"Or maybe, your prince charming." he jokes.

"Please, I have better options than this." I try to get to him.

"Really now?" He is not as calm as he was seconds ago.

I try to answer firmly.

"Really. Besides, this is not what a prince charming would ever do."

He is taking too much interest into this now. "What would he do then?"

"He would just let me be and not force his ways on me all the time."

Uh-oh. I think I said it a bit harsh.

He goes quiet.

"I force things on you?" He is serious and contemplating.

I just happen to understand now what his face looks like when he is in deep thought.

But I don't know where this conversation is going.

"Pretty much." I answer softly, not wanting to hurt him. I just care and I don't even know why.

He doesn't say anything.

I am getting uncomfortable.

"Like for now, I don't even know where you are taking me. For God's sake, I was not even supposed to be here, or even staying at your place, for that matter. I don't know why you keep coming around and making it difficult for me."

Crap! Why am I saying all this now. I am really not in my senses. Something is going off with my temperature too.

He is displeased at my tone. I can see the growing tension between us.

"Andria, I promise I won't let anything happen to you. You can trust me." he goes dead serious in no time.

"I don't know about that."

Great. Spit more fire girl!

But I am helpless. My temperature is soaring. I think it's the fever again.
