Light In My Darkness

"Want a ride back home?"

"Ian?" I scowled, "What are you doing here?"

Okay, that was a stupid question, and I've given him a perfect chance to nag me, I'm an idiot!

"That's one of the stupidest questions one has ever asked me, because as far as I remember this is a public place and where normal people walk, drive, travel, and do much more." He narrowed his eyes with a sly smirk playing on his lips. "Maybe you aren't one of them,"

I sent him a glare, but it only increased his smugness. I scanned my surrounding, and I know for a fact that this rain isn't gonna stop and walking all the way would be a disaster as I will fall sick and if that happens, I will have to spend my money on visiting the doctor, which I obviously wouldn't want to. Not tagging my phone along, doesn't help as well. So right now, he is my only chance to reach home safely.

I was brought back from my realm of thought when I heard him honking continuously. "I don't have all the time in this world." he hissed in exasperation.

'He's still the same jerk.'

I walk towards the passenger door, as he unlocks it for me.

Once I settled inside comfortably, I looked around and couldn't help myself from admiring his Tesla, it is one hot beast.

"If your done admiring, then wear your seatbelt."

I buckled up and looked outside, as droplets of rainwater covering the transparent glass with fog that adorned the surrounding. It was so surreal bringing peace into my soul.

His car stops abruptly, making me jerk forward, but all thanks to the seatbelt that saved me.

I snap my head towards him, as he was trying hard to restart the car, but it wouldn't budge. Hitting the steering wheel in frustration, he Picks up his phone and starts typing furiously.

"What's going on?"

"Can't you see, there some problem with the car, and it wouldn't start." He almost snapped, making me flinch a bit.

Seeing me flinch he adds, "Don't worry, you'll reach your home safely."

If it was any other time, I would have given him a nice comeback, but I am helpless right now and he is vexed, I don't wanna push his buttons that he might end up throwing me out.

Deciding to keep my mouth shut, I look around, and luckily, I found a nice cafe, an expensive one if I may add, where I can get a cup of hot steaming coffee, for which I am craving.

"There's a cafe over there," I point my finger towards the cafe before continuing, "I'm gonna get myself a cup of coffee, do you want to join me?"

"Are you asking me out?" He asks with a wicket glint on his face.

Seriously, is this man bipolar or what, minutes ago he snapped, and now he's being all cocky.

"The weather is nice and cold, a cup of hot coffee wouldn't do you any harm now, would it?" I counter.

"Eager now, are we?"

I huffed in frustration, "Fine, suit yourself, I'm going." I unlock the door and was about to step out when he spoke.

"I never rejected your offer," He looked at his watch before continuing, "I'll allot you ten minutes." He says, like is he's one big bad boss.

"Your acting like your one of the busiest person in the world."

"You never know." He replied and I decided to ignore him.

Stepping out, I run across as it's still raining, and was out of breath by the time I reach the entrance.
