Chapter 17–– Heart not in control

 

“So, who do you think can top your boss?” Alisha said and I threw a fry at her thus messing the floor with fries that we are fishing now.

“I can think of hundred-thousand words longs stories with my boss being the top but bottom, suddenly the number of words isn’t making much sense.” I said and she looked at me with question in her eyes and I sighed.

“Get up, help me clean it.” I said and pushed on her shoulder as she laid back down to laze.

“C’mon Amy, we promised each other we would write a novel on our partners. Think of something na.” she said and jumped around me while holding my shoulders and smothering me.

I laughed and tried to stop her when she whined, and I thought again before showing her what I wrote.

“You tried writing something?” she said, and I nodded before she read what I wrote, laughed, and said “You wrote him in a cultivation novel? Hahaha!”

“Stop laughing. If our partners ever got to know of this, we are going to die.” I said and she nodded her head seriously before suddenly taking out her phone and throwing at me for me to see what she wrote, and it was her novel that she was working on since a long time.

“I thought you stopped writing this one.” I said and started reading.

“I did stop writing it, but I got some inspiration from something, so continued now.” She said and smiled while burying her head in my laptop.

“Hm hm…” I read the book while she smiled at me.

“Do you think now-a-days parents will object a girl being with a girl that much?” I asked as I read the book and looked at her.

“It’s not really about their objection, you know. It’s more about us not being able to accept who we like. I am a pansexual and my parents are okay with it because I told them about this and yes, we had a few fights but we have to get over it, no? Spending life is a big deal and spending it with a person you don’t even like is even bigger. What use is it if I won’t be happy with a guy who they chose?” she said as she put my laptop aside and looked at me.

“Don’t ever let anybody else decide the life that you will be living, Amy. It’s not just about losing freedom, it’s about losing yourself and then, there is nothing anybody can do about it. Okay?” I nodded at her and said “I can choose for myself, and my parents will never object it. Why so serious, baby?”

“Nothing, just that you don’t look happy like I was expecting you to be after meeting your boyfriend.” She looked at me in the eye and touched my cheek to look at my now stiff smile. “Are you hiding something?”

I smiled suddenly and said “Nothing, it’s just, I like him but still dating.”

“Sure?”

“Yep.” I spoke. “let’s watch the new series.”

She nodded and we finally binge watched the series I was waiting for. ‘Don’t say no’ was the best one with the cutest couple and the hottest bottom.

But for the first time, even though I loved the series I was watching and everything but why, at the back of my mind, the contract revolved with the sorrow signs?

While watching the whole series, I fell asleep and after that, well just a dream.

“Wake up, idiot! You are late and so am I!” I heard Alisha’s morning tantrum and finally got up after a lot of swears and looked at her messing things more than required.

“Can you just stop; I’ll clean it and I have a holiday today. You go, I’ll get some sleep.” I shooed her away and went back to my sleep when her shouts again woke me up.

“Now what?” I crankily looked at her and she said, “Just checking if you’re dead yet, bye.”

That bitch!

I again went back to my sleep and this time, I completed the hour mark. The phone rang exactly after that, and I really wish I could strangle my boss; I mean can I pass a day sleeping for once.

“Come to my house.” He said as soon as I picked up and my sleepy mind and cranky self didn’t like it and thus, I, cute and clumsy, Amelia Carter, hung up the phone really good and went back to sleep, this time silencing the silence murderer, I mean the phone.

Even if I liked this guy, we might break up really early for the simple reason like not being able to respect the other.

My sleep, I am coming.

And I went.

“Amy, Amelia, you, okay?” I heard a shallow whispering and opened my eyes that felt absolutely heavy and nodded.

“What–” I coughed as soon as I tried to speak, and my throat felt incomparably hoarse.

“Don’t speak, you have cold. You dear boss is here as well.” Alisha said as she handed me a glass of water.

“I know I had cold, but I took medicine for that.” I said completely ignoring the line about dear boss.

“Exactly, took the wrong one. You are allergic to cough syrups and yet you took it. Are you crazy?” she took the glass away from me and then, the smack that I thought won’t be there was there.

“Stop, it hurts.”

“It should.”

“Where is he?” I said as I looked around.

“Your dear boss is just outside talking to the doctor; you wouldn’t believe me when I say this, but he looks totally in love with you. I mean, he was looking so scared when he came.” She smiled and said when the door opened and the one we were talking about entered and took a seat beside my bed and Alisha got up and left the room while winking at me.

“How are you?” he said and damn, but my heart suddenly went out of control.
