"Are you sleepy? "
He asked .
" No"
" why are you rubbing your eyes like toddlers?"
He chuckled as he asked. I gave him a look.
" for your kind information I am not a toddler, I am an adult. "
" you're just 18 years old. Your actions are still like toddlers. "
" excuse me! There is a reason why 18 year old are called adult okay? It's just that my eyes are burning like hell. And this stupid headache.."
Closing my eyes for a moment, I pressed my fingers on my temples. I could feel the throbbing pulses beneath them.
" Not surprised. You just bawled your eyes out. It is expected. "
He sighed.
So bold of me to assume I cold walk with closed eyes . That piece of rock (sh*t) decided to break my assumption with pleasure as it bumped into my feet.
Thank god I had my bodyguard with me. You know him. Mr. Neel Agarwal. He is a very god boy.
"You okay?"
" yeah. What can a little piece of rock do to me except it could have smash my nose on the ground. Not a big deal , not at all haha."
" sometime you are really annoying . You could've just said ' I am fine, thanks ' like a normal human but how could you just let go of a thing without being sarcastic about it , right? "
"Wow ! You know me so well."
I looked at him amazed. He rolled his eyes at me and scoffed, knowing too well that I was still being the sarcastic me. Like I said, he knows me so well.
You know , sometimes it's too entertaining and satisfying to annoy the hell outta him. And knowing that he would still try to remain calm and positive is too funny.
" you want a piggy back ride? "
" it's okay. My legs are fine . "
" you know , it will be really embarrassing to attend your first ever birthday party with smashed nose . And when the guests will ask you how did it happen and you'll reply that you,the adult birthday girl just fell on her face like clumsy toddlers , it would be double really embarrassing. So just hope on . "
He crouched infront of me while I glared his back. My ego was too big to take the insult .
But at the same time my inner-self shouted ' c'mon girl. Accept the truth. He is right , think if you really fall and smash your nose, how will you attend the party? What will you answer the guests ? Let's not think about the guests but what about your parents? Let's say you will get slaps free with smashed nose.'. Their angry face flashed infront of my eyes as I shivered in terror.
" fine!"
My ego is not that much big that I would reject a good offer, okay? I am not an idiot. I am smart and clever.
" only if it's free of cost ."
" yes yes. It's free of cost for birthday girls and the officer is for limited time. So claim you ride right now."
I couldn't help but laugh at how he decided to get along with my sarcasm or you say acting or you say humor , whatever you wanna call it.
I crouched behind him and hugged his neck from behind. He held my thighs and got up slowly. He adjusted me a little before started walking.
" if you make me fall I swear I'll kiss you ."
" what? "
He laughed.
" I think I heard you wrong. You must have said 'if I make you fall , you'll kill me . "
" no pal. You heard it right. I can't spend my whole life in jail.so rather than killing you ,I will kiss you and take a selfie while doing it then I'll send it to your girlfriend. "
" you're an evil"
" I am ."
I replied with a devilish smirk .
" I won't let it happen though. I work out and strong enough lift you with one arm. You have lost weight .You're maybe 35 kg or something. "
" shut up . You don't have to roast me like that."
" I am just stating the truth. You should eat more . If you keep losing your weight like this , one day you will get blown away by wind."
" are you done ?"
" maybe."
" whatever. "
And finally he shut his mouth. I sighed. He kept walking. It was really freezing. I was adjusting my arms around his neck when his cheek met mind. I hissed.
" is this your cheek or an ice cube . "
" whatever you think it is . There is not much difference between ice cube and my cheeks right now . "
He was right . Even I couldn't feel my cheeks.
" let me warm you up. You're really cold."
I said as I hugged me tight.
" I think it's other way around. "
I chuckled.
" who cares?As long as we won't freeze to death , everything is great. "
Now it was him who chuckled.
" you can close your eyes for a while, give them a little rest. "
" hmm."
I replied. I did as he said. The chilly wind blew past us making a whistling sound. I hissed. It felt like Mr. Cold was ripping my cheeks apart. To shield my precious face from him , I hid my face on the crook of Neel's neck. He shivered as soon as I did that.
" what are you doing!? "
" protecting my face. "
" remove your face from there . It feels like a snowball! "
" No. "
" my neck is sensitive! pull away your face ! "
" sorry to say, my face is more sensitive than your neck and more precious too . Besides, it was your idea to sneak out in this freezing midnight. Why should I suffer?"
" wow! So mean. That's what I get for surprising you? You're a bipolar!"
" thanks for letting me know that . Now please walk fast . "
" you're not my boss. Don't order me . "
" your an horse right now and I am riding your back. A horse should obey the rider or else "
" or else what ? "
" or else ,you know? I have a pair of beautiful lips and a smartphone. You have a pair rasgulla like cheeks . "
