Chereads / YOU WERE HERE / Chapter 26 - Raidan -

Chapter 26 - Raidan -

"Nothing much. Just slept it away. Also I.. I....ummm..... I looked around the house", she said, slowly shifting herself on the sofa and facing me to talk to me.

"Ahem.. And?" I said as I fried the bacons that I was left with.

"And I'm sorry that I used your room. It must have kept you from having rest", she said apologeticly.

"No Lam, you don't need to be sorry because I'm sorry. I probably should have known that those things won't work", I uttered slowly.

Well yeah of course I should have thought of that, no I should have known that. The heaters and other electronic things of the other places apart from my room, bathroom kitchen and study haven't been used in ages. Cause I've never used them ever since I bought this house. Actually after buying this house I had renovated it. And as a result I removed the staircase from the hallway since I made the second floor my personal study and that's why I moved the stairs to my bedroom. Cause I don't want random people go and walk in my study.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" she asked narrowing her eyes.

"Like I said, I've never had guests. So, I never had to use those rooms", I replied with a grin.

"Oh!"

She looked shocked. She must be thinking how boring I am. But there is nothing I can do about it.

I noticed her fingers when she faced me again, but this time she is sitting up on the sofa and both her hands are around her face. She is staring at me. And her staring is really distracting. It makes me think of the things that I want to do with her, to her and for her. And right now what I want to do is buy her an engagement ring. Today the assistant teacher under me, told me that engagement ring is very important to girls. And I still hadn't got her an engagement ring. How irresponsible of me..!!

"Raidan, can you come here, please?" she said.

I took the bacons off the frying pan and placed it on the plate and walked to her. She looks very suspicious right now. She has this thing in her face that's giving me a red flag vibe. But I'm still walking towards her. Well, I guess I'm color blind.

"Yes," I reported to her call standing in front of her.

She grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards my bedroom. She took me inside the room and made me sit on the bed. But she stood infront of me. I don't know what she wants me to do, but I definitely know what I am going to do. I'm going to scare her.

"Don't you think things are going bit faster? I mean, must you sleep with me tonight?" I said teasing her.

"What?? What sleep are you talking about? Who is sleeping with you? Don't talk nonsense", she said.

Her face and ears are red like tomato. And it is really fun to see her blushing like this. Cause it's really wonderful to see how my words effect her. Because I've always wondered if I'll ever be able to effect her like she effects me. And now I know that can!!

"What nonsense?? Isn't that's why you brought me here?" I teased her again.

"No!! I brought you here to sleep", she shut her eyes after saying that.

"I mean I brought you here so that you can sleep", she correctified.

"Oh, and where are you going to sleep? Outside?" I asked.

"No, I will be outside. But I'll be making dinner", she said with a smirk.

"Really? But it's unfair. You got to see me in apron, why can't I see you in apron?" I questioned.

She stayed quiet for a while. It felt like she is thinking about something. And a couple of minutes later she spoke up.

"Ok fine".

I joined her as we walked our way out. She went to the kitchen and then came back to me with the apron in one of her hands. She told me to put it on her. I put it on her slowly and carefully. When I was done she walked to the kitchen and sighned me to watch her. Half an hour later the dinner was on the table and both of us were having our dinner together for the second time in two days. After dinner she once again asked me to go to sleep. But I somehow managed to change the topic, again!!

"Look I would love to. But we are going to the univarsity tomorrow. And you need dress", I paused.

"And for that we need to go shopping?" she said looking at me, almost as if she is trying to read me.

"Yeah", I said looking down at the floor.

"Ok, let's go", she said after some consideration.

"But, I can't go out in this dress. I mean I can't go out in your pajama, right?" she said pointing her head to toe.

"That seems to be true", I said nodding my head.

"Well, you could wear the coat that you had worn yesterday. It fits you perfect. And the pajama won't be visible either", I said making my point.

She seems to be thinking for a while, for the forth time in the past 2 hours. Her eyes moved back and forth as she was thinking, I don't know about what!! Maybe she is looking for other options available, or maybe the things she could do.

"Do you have a silk shirt or maybe an oversized shirt", she said focusing on me.

Or maybe a hack.... I thought to myself.

"A silk shirt? Yeah, I guess I have one", I said narrowing my eyes.

"Get it for me, also, with another non silk shirt. Better be cotton".

I looked for the only silk shirt I had left with in my closet.Few years ago, silk shirts, in fact everything with silk were really a thing to me. So I had collected a lots of them. But now, in here I'm left with only one. I've the other shirts in the other places. Well, along with the silk shirt I also took a cotton shirt (according to her order) which was completely new. I took those to her.

"What are you going to do with these?" I asked her out of confusion.

"Magic. You just wait and see. But before that I'll need my leggings", she said with a proud smirk.

She looked for her leggings that were thankfully dry and went to the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom exactly 20 minutes later. Looking extremely gorgeous. It's hard to believe that she made this of that. A silk shirt has been turned into a top and a cotton shirt has been turned into a gathered skirt. And she looks so good in those. I was speechless, so I just stared at her in an awe!!
