Chapter 22 - WHO IS THE MONKEY?

He scoffed and said-

"You're not in the position to threat me right now. I can throw you at the dustbin before you can even process what is happening. So better shut up and keep your so called threats to your self."

" I can choke you to death before you can even process what is happening too."

" I guessed you don't wanna spend your whole life in jail."

" yeah.you're lucky ."

" ha ha, I know I am ."

We kept bickering till we reach at my house.the lights were coming through the window we left open and lit a part of the backyard.

Once we reached there, he let me down on my feet.

" give me the bag."

He said as I removed his back pack from my shoulder and gave him. He fished out the torch before tugging the bag on his shoulder.

"You go first."

I looked at him dumbfounded. I shifted my gaze at my bedroom on the second floor than again bring my eyes at him.

" How am I suppose to climb there? What am I ? A monkey!? "

I whisper yelled.

" well, I know you're not a monkey....you're a short human being. "

" excuse me! My height is average, okay ? Infact, you're too tall , like a giraffe."

I said as I folded my arms infront of my chest.He raised his brow looking at me with a cocky smirk.

" Atleast this giraffe can go inside the bedroom and save himself from cold ."

He ditched the torch in my hands .

" I am going inside . Ask your average height to help you."

My eyes widened as I grabbed his arm tight before he could walk away as if my life depended on it. It was indeed, in some way.

" wait!.."

"..I was just kidding bro! "

I said as I forced out a laugh.

" really? "

I nodded thrice in reply.

" so you mean I am not a giraffe? "

" Not at all. You're perfect . Your height is as perfect as it could ever be ."

I stretched my lips trying to form a smile despite my big ego.

" you mean you're accepting that you're a...short .human. being? "

My face went blank.I tried my best not to rip that cocky smirk off his face , not to scratch his handsome face like a angry cat.

" I would appreciate if we leave this discussion here and focus on thinking of a way to reach inside."

He rolled his eyes. He made his way toward the kitchen window. Draping his palms on his hips he looked at me

" come here ."

He said. I went to him and stood beside . He suddenly pulled me infront of him by my arm. I turned around to face him.

" what are you doing!? "

I whisper yelled. He again made me face the window.

" wha-"

" shut up and let me explain. Will you!? "

He whisper yelled. I sealed my lips together and nodded. I felt hot breaths on my sensitive ears . A shiver ran through my Spain spreading goosebumps all over my body . I assumed it was because of the chilly winds, not for any other reason.

" now listen carefully. I am gonna lift you up. Grab the crown and climb above. Then you can easily climb to your bedroom. Okay? "

Instead of words, I gave a nod in reply but was still unsure if I could do it or not.

" I'll try."

I added.

" you can do it. Get ready . I'll count to three."

A pair of arms made their way around my waist and tightened their grip. I focused on the target , the crown of the kitchen window.

" one..."

".. two..."

"..Three."

And I was on the air in a blink. I wasted no time in getting a hold of the crown.

" put one leg above it and push yourself up."

He instructed. Pressing my lips tight with each other I gathered all of my strength and lifted myself up.like he said, it was easy to reach to my bedroom from there. I looked down from the window and give him a smile that said " I-did-it!".

He showed a grin before throwing his bag toward me. I catched it and smirked at him before flipping my hair in a sassy manner.

And than he did something which left me amazed. It took him only a couple of seconds to climb and get inside and he behaved like it was a piece of cake. No. A spoon of cake . I watched him with my jaw on floor.

" what? "

He asked.

" nothing. I just realized you were right. I am not a monkey. "

He smirked.

" so you admit that you're shorty huh?"

I smirked.

" Nope. I was saying the one who is monkey is not me....but you."

His smile fell. He looked at me with a blank face while I tried my best not to burst in laughter.

" I swear if you say that again, I will throw you out from the same window you got inside."

He said glaring at me.

" it's my house mr. You can't throw me out from my own house."

" yeah. But I can leave right? I am leaving....with all the delicious food inside my bag."

He was about to snatch his bag away from me but I stopped him.

"Woah, woah calm down dude! I was praising you. "

" but it felt more like an insult to me. Don't ever praise anyone if you don't know how to."

He grimaced.

" okay okay sorry. No more leg pulling. Let's get inside the blanked. Please close the window for me. "

I said to him as I turned the heater on.

" I need to use the washroom first."

He said once he closed the window.

" you don't have to ask me. Do whatever you wanna do, you don't need my permission. "

" I was just being polite. "

He said rolling his eyes.

" don't need. Just be yourself around me."

His steps halted.

" you know , sometime you just take me off guard . Sometimes your words hold such deep thoughts. Like you change to a totally different person . "

He said looking over his shoulders at me. I winked at him.

" it's because of my split personality. "

He chuckled and shook his head and gave me a look that said " you-will-never-change".
