5.Be Mine forever

       

Siya's POV

"This guy is crazy. I mean, who would just place a hex on a person he just met."I mentally cursed Ian.

"True...but he is cute kind of crazy." my subconscious mused.

"What...he isn't cute...he is a wicked warlock" How dare he say that I won't get an autograph from David. He is such a heartless person."I mentally profaned him.

"But why do you need his autograph now...I mean, you have Drew ...you could always get his autograph."

"Why would I ask Drew for an autograph when he is mine."

"Ahmmm.....hmmm...someone is possessive, "my inner self teased me.

"Go away, Elsa..." I said, quoting the Frozen movie.

"It should be. Go away, Anna....it's Anna..."

"Whatever...go away..."

I was fuming at Ian's stupid hex. I was totally planning his bloody murder when I felt Drew embrace me in a warm hug.

"Seems like you finally got someone to talk to...I have never seen Mr.Addington talk to anyone for so long.."

"Ya...of course, he definitely took his time talking to me...He was busy placing a hex on me", I complained to Drew like a child.

"What?...hex?...Drew started laughing hysterically."What hex did he place on you, love?"

"He cursed me that I would never get an autograph from my favorite actor David," I pouted.

"Don't worry, love, your Drew is here to lift the hex from you. Come on...let me introduce you to David..." he assured me, holding my hands.

"Really...like really...I'm scared, Drew...what if the hex works..."I was superstitious for a moment.

"Well then ...We can plan Ian's murder together"..he chuckled.

And Drew literally dragged me with him to introduce me to David. I was super excited as well as nervous to the brim...Well...he is a big star, and I'm just a nobody. What would be his reaction...I drowned in my own thoughts.

Siya, you are overthinking...He meets a lot of fans every day. And this is no big deal. You can do it, girl; I gave myself a pep talk.

"Hi David.., Thank you for coming today; I'm honored."Drew thanked David.

"Congrats on your success Andrew and don't thank me. You are Amy's best friend and also family to me"...He stated with an expressionless face, totally avoiding my presence.

"Let me introduce you to my girlfriend Siya Parker...She is a die-hard fan of yours"...Drew introduced me to him.

For an actor, he had quite an intimidating ambiance. His offscreen presence definitely sent shivers down my spine. I felt myself wanting to hide behind Drew as his sea-green eyes acknowledged my presence.

Before Mr.King or I could speak, Drew's phone rang, interrupting us.

"I need to take this call; please excuse me," Drew said to both of us.

"Grab the opportunity. Get that autograph, girl...go for it..." he whispered onto my ears and walked away, leaving me all alone with David.

"Hello Mr.King, I'm Siya Parker,...Pleased to meet you, I'm a huge fan" I extended my hands for a handshake, not sure about myself.

He stared at my extended hand and me coldly. It was embarrassing...it was like he was assessing me with his hawk-like green eyes.

And finally, he spoke with an arrogant filled voice,

"Neither do I shake hands nor do I acquaint with people like you who try to climb up the ladders of society by trapping the rich. People like you don't exist for me".His voice was filled with disgust.

Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes, but I held them back. My poor heart had built a kind and caring personality of him over these years, yet he mercilessly broke that image of him in my mind. I should have known that onscreen and offscreen characters are drastically different.

I looked at him with teary eyes. Suddenly his expressions softened, and he had love and tenderness in his eyes.

"Amy...my princess.." he walked towards Amanda, totally ignoring me. She was standing behind me.

"Dad, why are you late?... You know it's Drew's success party, and yet you dare came late", she scolded him.

"Sorry, princess," he apologized to her, stroking her hair lovingly.

Anyone could see the love he had for her. He sure was a great Dad and loved Amanda to the moon and back.

The father and daughter were having sweet conversations among themselves. And I was standing there like a third wheel, unable to move as I was trying to hold back my tears, suppressing my humiliation. I didn't know what I have done to be humiliated like this by a big star like him. Maybe he was right; I don't belong to his class. The father and daughter had indeed shown me my place here.

As I was fretting over my humiliation, the DJ announced that he would start the music for the couple dance. Immediately men and women began pairing up for the dance.

"May I have this dance with you, Milady?" a voice startled me.

And a smile automatically formed on my lips, making me forget all the pain, humiliation. He was the one who owned my heart. I stretched out my hands towards him and said, "Yes, You may, my dear Sir?"It was none other than my adorable Drew.

He took my hands with love, and we moved towards the dance floor. He hugged me closer to him and made me dance with him making me forget the world. It was when the music changed and Drew twirled me I was exchanged with my next dancing partner.

To my horror, it was none other than the wicked warlock who placed that hex on me. Now I am one hundred percent sure Ian is pure evil.

"So Cupcake, My hex really worked, huh"...he had a playful smile on his face.

I so wanted to murder him. Stupid Monster, how dare he?.

"Come on now, Cupcake. Are you seriously planning my murder?" he asked with an amused look on his face.

Wait... What?... Did I seriously say that aloud?. I wondered.

"Yes...What if I am..." I answered back as I was a tad bit angry at him.

"Oh, my God...Somebody save me from this evil woman."

"Now, I'm evil...What about you, then? You placed that stupid hex on me. It is all your fault."

"What do you think I am? An ancient warlock or something...I was just stating facts about actors like us...Believe me, Cupcake, we do it all the time.." he explained like a professional.

"But you didn't have to say something like that; I felt like I was jinxed..."

"Bear, you are too naive, innocent, and stupid for this society.", he replied.

"What do you mean by that? Am I a misfit here...I know I don't match up to your status..."I said, remembering David's rude remarks.

"No, Cupcake, You don't understand the way things work here...Now leave it.." he brushed off our conversation regarding actors.

"Friends?.." he asked me." And I'm always ready to give you my autograph. All you need to do is ask".

I looked at him mischievously..."Hmmm...I will think about it.."

"Women would die to even get a glance from Ian the Great. Here

I'm offering you my friendship, and you are saying you will think about it...."

"Of course...women would definitely die rather than live with a self-obsessed person like you, "... I stated playfully.

"Ok, I will place another hex on you..."Ian smirked wickedly.

"Don't you dare... Friends, Friends Friends..."I whisper yelled at him. And with that, I made my very first friend.

"That's my girl," he smiled heartily at me and twirled me, which made me land on my next partner's arms. I was still smiling at my newly formed friend Ian while he was gesturing me with his eyes to look at my new dance partner with an evil grin.

"What is wrong with him.."I thought and looked up to see who my new partner was. To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. An involuntary shiver ran down my spine...It was none other than the mighty David King himself. Now I know why Ian was giving that evil smirk...Ugh... next time, I will kill him with my bare hands, I reminded myself.

I glanced up to see his sea-green eyes fixed on me. It was those pair of orbs that I had admired onscreen, and anyone would have got lost in those eyes in reel life. But in real life, it held anger and something else which I couldn't decipher...Why would he be angry with me?... Of course, I am a low life according to him, and right now, he had to dance with me. My body stiffened in his arms, and I felt suffocated thinking about his cruel words. I just wanted this stupid dance to be over as soon as possible.

I was having all these thoughts when the music stopped, and David I was spotlighted. Seeing that the dance has ended, I moved away from David only to see the most beautiful sight in the world.

My Drew...He was bending down on one knee with a ring box before me.

"Say yes ...say yes ...say yes, "...my inner voice chanted continuously.

"Siya ...my love...It was destiny that brought us together. The day you bumped into me, I knew you were the one for me. I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you. I want you to be with me for eternity...So will you grant me my wish and honor me by accepting my love for you and be mine forever..?" he proposed emotionally.

There were tears in both of our eyes.

"Will you marry me, Siya?" he asked, raising the ring towards me.

"Yes, I will...." I exclaimed, hugging him like nothing else in the world mattered anymore.

He kissed me on my forehead and made me wear the ring, and hugged me again while there were applauds and cheers from the people around us.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Ian cheering for us, and he even gave me a thumbs up.

But two pairs of eyes were shooting daggers at me. Those eyes belonged to none other than that of the father-daughter duo.
