Chapter 9

 

         

          His eyes were covered with a pair of dark shades but I could tell he was staring at me with that penetrating look of his. He walked over and greeted Alliyah and then looked at me.

          "This is my roomie, Kripa." Alliyah said to Angad.

          "Yeah, we've met."

          "When?" Alliyah asked.

          "Long story. What's wrong with your car?" he asked impatiently.

          "I think, it's like, broken or something."

          He scowled. She shrugged and held up her keys.

          "Doesn't start….no noise nothing."

          "Great. Probably the battery." Angad grumbled.

          "Probably. Why don't you lemme take your car while you fix it. Kripa and I have some things to do."

          "What things?"

          "None of your business. But let's do a vehicle swap, and like, we'll fix you dinner tonight."

          "Who's we?" he asked, but he was looking directly at me. I was sliding off the hood of the car, wondering what the hell Alliyah was getting me into.

          "Me and Kripa." Alliyah glanced over at me. "You don't mind do you?"

          How could I say no without sounding ungrateful? "Um sure." I finally said.

          "See? That's such a good offer! Now start working. Oh, and take out our bags from the trunk first." She told him.

          I walked to the trunk to get my one bag. I didn't need one of Alliyah's boyfriends to do my work for me. Angad walked over too, and popped open the trunk.

          "Good Lord!" he said, looking at so many bags. We reached in at the same time and our heads bumped.

          "Sorry!" I said and he did the same.

          "That one bags mine." I said pointing to the bag in the corner. We both reached for it (once again!), but this time, the bag fell on the ground as we both grabbed for it.

          "Sorry. Im such a doofus!" he said and reached to pick it up off the ground. As he was picking it up, the shirt unfolded. He stared at it, a grin forming on his face.

          "It was Alliyah's idea." I snapped before snatching it from him.

          "But you're the one who's gonna be wearing it. Are you too hot to handle?"

          "You'll never know."

          His grin faded and I bit my lip. Why had I said that? Why was I so touchy whenever he was around?

          Because he belonged to Alliyah and I belonged to Prithvi; but I had a hard time remembering that whenever he was around.

          "Sorry" I said, but I don't know if he heard me. He was too busy gathering all the bags and carrying them to his car.

          And now I was going to have to spend the evening fixing the guy supper?

          Could life get anymore complicated?!

 

 

 

That's the part! Its reallllyyyy short, but I didn't have much time. I promise that the next part will be really good, because that's the part that Kripa will make dinner and find out a very good secret- that will tempt her to no end. What will it be and how will she find out? That's in the next part! Comments please! More the quicker I cont. If I get a lot, then I might continue latest by Thursday! So please comment- I don't care if you critique my work- just as long as you show me that you're reading it. And I ended Road Trip for those who don't know, so please read it!
