They finally had dinner at a nearby restaurant. Somya was so happy while eating that she forgets about all his bickering from before.
"Thank you, Mr. Avi, and I am sorry for troubling you," Somya said with sincerity in her voice to Avi.
She already felt that Avi isn't a mere driver and he must be someone close to Varun. But she didn't ask him. If Varun wants to tell her, then he would tell her himself.
Avi, who was quietly wiping his mouth with a tissue, was taken aback by her words. Wasn't she taking him as a driver, so why is she thanking him now? Does she thanks every driver? Does she find out that I am not a driver? Then what would I say if she asked me who am I!? Avi started panicking by his thoughts. Lost in his own world, he forgets to reply to her.
"Where's mine?"
Somya, who was about to say something, was rudely interrupted by Varun.
"???" Somya gave him a questionable look while stuffing a bite of nan* in her mouth.
"Won't you thank me?" Varun narrowed his eyes.
Somya took her time, chewing the nan. After few moments, she opened her mouth to speak, "What you did deserves more than a thank you. It can't settle with some mere words of gratitude. So I plan on paying you by my actions in the future."
A slight smile formed on Varun's face when he saw her speaking with her utmost sincerity while shoving her mouth with food. He found her too adorable!
When they were about to leave the restaurant, Somya ran towards the counter and started picking snacks from the shelf.
"What are you doing?" Varun asked her.
"I learned my lesson today. I am preparing myself for the future so that I won't die starving," Somya replied while grabbing a packet of potato chips.
"Hmm. So you accept that you were hungry?" He mocked her.
"What!? No! I am only preparing it in advance. I wasn't hungry today," she said, not meeting his eyes.
'Says you who had an appetite of a dinosaur earlier,' he thought inside his mind.
Avi saw that they're planning to argue again, so he quickly interrupted them.
"I wanna have a packet of potato chips as well."
"Sure," Somya offered him one with a smile.
It was already late at night, and Somya was feeling drowsy after eating. She tried her best to fight with sleep but lost. So she tossed and turned to find a comfortable position to sleep.
"Come here," Varun said after noticing her half-drunken face due to sleep.
"Huh?"
Varun said nothing. He placed her head gently on her shoulder and pulled her towards him.
"Sleep." He put her head on his shoulder and patted it.
'Ah! His shoulder feels too comfy.' Somya was too tired to think straight, so he followed him and went to sleep.
After 2 hours of drive, they finally reached their hotel. Varun looked down at his peaceful sleeping bunny and decided not to disturb her. He gently picked her up in his arms and strode towards the hotel.
The staff and the receptionist inside the hotel only had one thought in their mind. They wish to have such a handsome, sexy and caring boyfriend as well. They had seen him carrying her yesterday as well, so they were even more jealous to see how strong this girl's boyfriend is.
Somya, who was deep in her sleep, sneezed involuntarily.
Varun frowned and started walking faster as he doesn't want her to catch a cold.
He gently placed her on her bed and adjusted the A.C. temperature for her. Before leaving, he glanced at her sleeping face one last time. He can't help but poke her cheeks. They were looking too cute when she was stuffing herself with food earlier. He beamed at her peaceful sleeping face.
'Cough!'
Avi coughed lightly, as he wanted to but can't directly advise his boss that it's bad manners to touch a girl when she's sleeping.
Varun frowned. What was he doing? He ignored him. After ensuring that everything is alright, he left her room.
In the morning
Sitting in his car, Somya had a sour expression on her face. She was still drowsy. She wanted to sleep more, but she has to go to the office today.
"What's wrong?" Varun questioned her, looking at her dropped head.
She only shakes her head in response.
He smirked and asked, "What? You slept with me yesterday, regretting it now?"
Avi almost lost his balance on the steering wheel after hearing his boss's bold sarcasm.
"Why would I? I slept willingly," she replied stubbornly, curling her lips.
Too savage! Avi felt like their way of interacting is too unique. No ordinary human can understand their logic. If not for him being together with them all the time yesterday, he would have believed that they had already... He wants to go back and grab earplugs for his poor ears.
And his CEO... he can't recognize him as the same boss anymore. How can he change so much in just a few days! This matter is serious. No matter what, he has to report this to Rahul Sir! Yes! He made a mental note to personally inform him as soon as they reach Jaipur.
~I plan on bugging you
every single day
for the foreseeable future~
