CHAPTER FOUR!
She was still reading her book when the doorbell of their room rang. It was obviously the room service guy. Swayam anticipated the same and ran as fast his legs could carry him, towards the door.
He looked so elated on receiving that delicious looking parcel, one could probably fathom that he had won a nobel prize. He came towards her and sat on the chair next to the bed, and what next. He started eating the food hurriedly. She twisted her face as if showing that she was least interested in him and his food.
He kept gobbling his food. She was least interested in all that and she continued reading her book. When she felt that her eyes were getting heavy, she decided to sleep.
"You want to eat something?" He asked, out of courtesy.
She looked at his half empty plate and then shifted her gaze to him. "No thanks. I'm going to sleep now."
She got up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. She didn't realize, her phone had managed to catch hold of some network, and since it was on silent she didn't realize someone was calling her from a long time. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately for her, Swayam did notice that someone, some unknown number was calling her .
Before he could answer the call, it got disconnected. Swayam held her phone in her hand and was literally shocked to see what he actually saw. Her wallpaper had his picture. Well, he could never really see something of that sort before because her phone was always covered by a screensaver. As a result no one could really notice what her wallpaper was, except for her.
She came back at that very moment. Her face was wet and she saw him holding her phone.
"What do you think you are doing Mr.Shekhawat?" She sounded exasperated.
"Nothing someone was calling you.. I just.."
"Don't you know, you aren't supposed to check others' phones!"
"Sorry Sharon... I didn't mean to.. Why are you getting so hyper?"
Sharon realized she was making it more and more evident that the phone hid inside it, a deep dark secret.
"That's none of your concern. Give me my phone back." Her face was still so stern. Swayam was scared.
She walked towards him and he handed her the phone. She tucked a lock of hair behind her ears and kept her phone safely next to her and sat on the bed. Without any further ado, she lied on her bed and slowly closed her eyes. She took the blanket over herself, since it was quite windy and drifted off to sleep.
Swayam looked at the innocent face in front of him. Her eyes were closed, and he thought she looked even more adorable when her mouth was shut.
He slightly smiled at the thought of what had happened a few minutes ago. Well yeah, he knew she liked him, and yeah it was quite embarrasing for him as well, but he didn't really expect his picture as her wallpaper. Man, she really did like him a lot.
So, it was thus that Swayam came to know that however hard Sharon was from inside, she really did have a very soft heart. She was so not the arrogant diva type from inside, but someone who was so soft and so pure hearted, a human like him who did have feelings.
He kept staring at her in awe, until he realized what a "horrible and weird" thing he was doing by staring at her. But yes, she looked adorable. He realized that a lock of hair was coming over her face due to the wind and bent forward to tuck the same behind her ear.
The sun's rays woke Sharon from her deep slumber. She turned to the opposite side to stop those rays from disturbing her. He was already up,surprisingly and was planning to wake her up too,
Fortunately, his phone rang at that moment causing her to jerk up.
It was Rey.
"Rey, thank god you called." spoke a relieved Swayam.
Sharon looked satisfied and happy that Rey had called.
"Thank god I got some network." Rey spoke from the other end.
"Now please do something and get me out of here."
Sharon glared at him.
"Me and Sharon." Swayam corrected.
"Yeah." Rey said. "Give me your location. I'll be there in sometime."
Swayam gave him the details and after sometime hung him up. Sharon looked so relieved. She hadn't eaten since the past twelve hours. She was kinda famished but didn't want to admit the same in front of Swayam. It would seem embarrassing.
"I'll go and freshen up." she said. Her eyes showed wariness as she got up and walked towards the washroom.
She splashed water on her face with the facial cream that was provided by the hotel.
"When is he coming to pick us up?" She asked after coming out.
"I don't know. He hasn't called yet..so we need to sit her until then."
Sharon mumbled something rapidly under her breath, not audible enough to Swayam.
"You said something about me?" He asked, gauging her look.
"No..why would I? You are anyway not important to me."
"Why are you giving justifications?"
"I'm not justifying myself, neither do I want to..I'm just making my point clear." She said.
"Saying that I'm not important to you, when the question was something else means that you were justifying."
"Oh please. Why do you always find reasons to argue with me?"
"I'm least interested. You drove me to it."
Sharon didn't reply to him. She didn't talk to him much, but she noticed one thing. He had become calmer than what he was, the previous night. Sharon wondered what had brought this sudden change in him.
His phone rang. It was Rey again.
"I'll be there in a few minutes Swayam." He said. "Meet me on the road."
"Yeah okay." He said and hung him up.
"It was Rey." Swayam said. "He has asked us to come down." Swayam started walking towards the front door.
"Great. Anyway I would have had a nauseated feeling had I been here with you any longer." She twisted her face.
Swayam stopped and slowly walked towards her. He stared right into her eyes and as his deep chocolate brown eyes continued looking at her hazel ones, she felt her heartbeat increasing. This was the first time she was so close to him, or any boy as a matter of fact. Her breath was getting heavier.
"Just because I don't say anything and keep tolerating everything about you doesn't mean that you can say anything you want, to me. Just because you are the diva, you can't say whatever you like to me." His hot breath fell on her face. She didn't flinch a bit. As a matter of fact, her eyes shrank and her expression changed from a stern one to a vulnerable soft one.
Swayam, for a moment was at loss of words as well..but he didn't let her feel that. He had to admit to himself that for a moment he did get lost in her beautiful eyes, but snapped out of it pretty soon. As far as she was concerned, she showed no signs of snapping out of her trance.
