Chapter 52 - You Aren't Bad, You're Worse!!

Shanaya's P.O.V.

Have you ever felt that you are physically sleeping but mentally awake? You're aware that you're sleeping right now lying on the bed but your mind is totally aware of your surroundings. It's like you're lying on the bed with eyes closed, a bit sleepy and a bit awake.

I don't know if I'm making sense or not. I was in Stage two of REM sleep. I tried a lot to move further to get a deep sleep but blame it to the new environment and new place that I'm not able to sleep instead of being so much tired. It's difficult to adjust to the new.

Failing at sleeping, I gave up trying. I opened my eyes and sat on the bed still feeling lethargic yet awake. I stared outside the window for some time. The cold breeze made the tree bent in its direction with leaves dancing on the branches. I glanced at the clock. It was ten past one at the night.

I opened the window letting the cold breeze enter inside my room kissing my cheeks. I heard the sound of crickets in the garden around my house. I didn't like it so I shut the window again letting warmth embrace me once more.

Tying my hair in a messy bun, I climbed down the bed. I wore my flip-flops and walked out of my room. I descended downstairs to watch a movie, have coffee and maybe some chips. I don't have to wake up tomorrow as I'll be joining the office from the day after tomorrow. So, I've all the night with me.

I made my way to the kitchen only to find Kristein's room's light on. Is he still awake? Maybe he's also finding it difficult to sleep because of the new place. I decided to ask him if he wants to join me because he's a guest at my home and I'm a good host. No matter how much I dislike his company, it's my duty to be welcoming for my guest.

Paying heed to my self-talk, I walked to his room. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. I waited for him. The door opened and Kristein came in the sight. He was shirtless.

Crap!!

My eyes widened as soon as I saw his perfectly toned body. Feeling embarrassed, I immediately turned my back towards him. I heard his chuckle.

"Don't you have manners? You're staying with a girl. Wear proper clothes", I said.

"Girl? Where is this girl? I wanna meet her", he replied and this annoyed me to an extent. Why did I even care to ask him for a company? My mistake.

"Shutup. Wear your shirt", I said. All of a sudden, I felt warmth next to my back.

I heard a whisper next to my ear. He said, "You're my fiance and soon you'll be my wife. You can see me like this. I don't mind". Goosebumps covered my body and tingles ran down my whole senses with the huskiness in his voice.

Damn his sexy voice!!

"Fine. Forget I even came to talk to you. You're impossible", I replied without turning once and walked straight to the kitchen.

Monster!!

"Hey, wait. I'm coming", he said from behind.

I brewed two cups of coffee because I knew he'll come too. Kristein showed up after two minutes wearing a white V neckline T-shirt and his bed hair. How does he manage to look this good so effortlessly?

Why am I praising him?, I thought!!

He sat down on the stool and watched me as I poured coffee in the mug. I handed him his cup and took my cup and have a sip. He sipped his coffee and then smiled at me.

"Thank you Tweety", he said.

"Who is Tweety? Don't call me that", I complained looking at him.

"You're Tweety. You're cute, short and stubborn like her. Don't you like this nickname? I ain't that bad in giving names", he said. I rolled my eyes.

"Trust me Kris, you aren't bad. You're worse", I said and he smiled. No, he grinned after hearing that. Is he real?

He takes a sip of his coffee again and said, "Nice coffee, Tweety". I glared at him.

"Stop calling me that. I'm warning you", I replied.

"Oh, I'm scared. What will you do Tweety?", He asked.

"Kris", I gave him a death glare and he smiled. He had a satisfactory grin over his face.

"Why are you smiling?", I asked. He's getting on my nerves.

"Because you call me Kris and not Kristein. I guess we're going good", he said. His dimples showed up and I appreciated his smile. I didn't reply to his comment because it made me feel awkward.

"Why are you awake?", I asked.

"I can't sleep. What about you? You seem tired", He asked.

"I'm tired but I will take time to adjust to a new place", I replied and he nodded. I picked up my bowl of chips and with my coffee mug, I walked to the main hall. I sat down on the couch after placing my bowl and cup on the table in front of me.

"What are you planning to do?", Kristein asked as he sat next to me and placed his coffee mug next to mine.

"Watch a movie", I said as I shuffled through the movie list on Netflix.

"Count me in", he said and he snatched the remote from my hand.

"Hey", I complained.

"I'm the guest. Show some manners", he said and I pouted. I stuffed my mouth with chips.

"Which movie do you want to see?", Kristein asked with his eyes fixed to the television screen.

"Anything except romantic", I said and he turned to give me a look.

"What?", I asked.

"Girls die for romantic movies. Are you sure about your identity being a girl?", He asked.

"All girls aren't same, you idiot. I like action movies", I replied.

"Ok. Calm down angry bird", he replied and I rolled my eyes.

He really needs to stop giving nicknames!!

"Let's watch this movie", he said excitedly. I glanced at the mobile screen. It's The Conjuring freaking part 2. I gulped nervously. I couldn't see it's trailer without screaming my shit out. One whole movie is way too much for me.

"Are you ok with horror movies?", He asked.

Hell NO!!

"Yes of course", I lied through my teeth. If he'll know I'm such a baby, he'll tease me to death.

"Great", he said and then rested his back on the couch. I glanced at his face and then at the screen.

Will I be able to survive?

But as if the movie alone wasn't sufficient enough for Kristein to freak me out that he literally got up from the couch and turned off the lights of the hall. The only light source was the lights from the kitchen.

"Why have you turned off the light?", I asked.

"What's the use of watching a horror movie without a proper environment?", He asked. He stared at me and then his signature smirk appears on his face.

"Are you scared by any chance?", He confirmed.

"No. I'm not", I held my flag of fake courage up.

"These kind of movies are my favourite", he added.

"Why am I not surprised? A monster loving the movie of ghosts. You must relate to them", I added and he just chuckles.

God, save me!!

Kristein's P.O.V.

We're watching a movie together right now. A few minutes before Shanaya called me Kris for the first time, I guess. It felt so good. I still can't stop smiling. She's sitting next to me and we're not fighting even. We're finally making progress in our relationship.

More than the movie, I'm enjoying watching her. She's screaming at the loud voices only without a break. She's such a scared Tweety. It's so hard to take off my eyes from her adorable face. She's here sitting next to me, biting her nails. Her eyebrows are knitted together in nervousness and the way she bites her lips is just such a turn on. Her face is radiating with the light of television and it's taking legit everything inside me not to push her on the couch and make out with her till morning.

I groaned mentally. I'm losing my cool. I glanced at the television screen and forced myself to stop looking at her. Shan screamed again and this time she held my hand out of blue. My whole body went on fire at her touch. My eyes widened. I looked at her. Her eyes were still on the screen and followed by another loud voice, she just jumped in her seat and hide her face in my chest.

Ever heard the term called hypoxia? I felt that. My heart skipped a beat and my breath was stuck inside my throat. I couldn't move, I couldn't react. Shanaya was so close to me that I was sweating. What the heck? How can her one-touch affect me so badly? The room temperature increased several degrees.

She pulled away as soon as she realised how close we're. She looked up. Our faces were still close enough. My eyes ended up on her pink lips. It's so hard to sit close to her and not kiss her.

"Sorry", she said as she got up from her seat. I released my breath which I was holding.

"I can't see this movie. I'm going to my room", she said. I couldn't help but a smile formed on my lips on her confession.

"I knew you're scared", I said getting up and standing next to her. I added, "Scared Shanaya Tweety".

"And you're a monster. Kristein The Master of Monster community", she said and I laughed. She just cracks me up this time.

"I'm going to sleep. Good night", she said.

"Will you be able to sleep alone, kiddo?", I mocked.

"Yes, mommy", she replied rolling her eyes.

I love even these fights with her!!

"Give your mom a good night kiss then", I said as I leaned down to face her. Her eyes widened and she pushed me away.

"Get lost", saying so, she ran upstairs as if she's seen a ghost. I laughed as I saw her disappearing in her room.

God, she's death to me!!

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

I woke up the next day feeling tired and cranky because I couldn't sleep for the whole night. After Shan left me all messed up, I came back to my room and she occupied my thoughts all the damn time. I don't know what exactly is wrong with me? I like her but she's just pulling me towards her like a gravitational pull day by day. I'm feeling more and more attracted towards her.

I always crave to be near her, see her and listen to her. I've no freaking idea of what to talk but I just want to talk to her non stop. One minute talk with her is enough for me to pass my twenty-four hour of the day. God, I must be going crazy.

I left my room and walked out of the house for a small walk. I can't jog because I'm still tired. I couldn't sleep properly the whole night. I came back home early with the hope of seeing Shanaya. My expectations were crushed when I found her absent. I glanced at the clock. It was eight in the morning.

Is she still sleeping?

I walked to her room. I knocked on the door and it opened slightly. I called out her name. "Shanaya, are you awake?". She didn't respond.

I pushed the door and saw her sleeping peacefully on her bed. I shook my head and walked to her room's window. I opened the curtains and let the sunlight enter the room. Shanaya groaned as the rays of sun fall on her beautiful face.

"Get up Tweety. It's morning", I said as I opened the windows too.

"What the hell Kris?", She groaned and rolled to her right side. She rolled right off the bed as she was sleeping at the side of the bed near the edge. She falls down on the ground.

I tried to save her but she's just clumsy. She pulled me with her resulting in me falling on top of her. My hands acted as pillars and helped me create a distance between us.

"Holy shit", she groaned in pain. She looked up at me and then her eyes widened. I smirked in response.

Mornings can't be better than this!!
