I Was Nothing To Him

While on my way to the hotel I saw a granny asking for lift, I had to help her, she was need and carrying a lot of contents with her, moreover that village is on my way, so no harm.

As I was helping the granny to come out, I saw a man who had his head immersed in the bonnet of his car. Should I ask him if he needs any help? As I was pondering upon it, i saw another man falling in front of me. I immediately offer a hand for him to get up. I see the other man coming towards us with a worried face. Both the men start discussing about the issue of not finding the mechanic. I am quick enough to butt in, me and my restless attitude. One of them as I understood is Bran the driver. The other one  enters the car and I quickly ask about Bran to the man and he just says a simple "No" This man sitting with me is so hard to talk. Ughhh. Keeping aside my loudly speaking mind! I ask politely "And?" and then he fills in, though again in a few words, apparantly Bran is staying behind waiting for service centre guys.

I ask about where to go and the man gives me the address. Damn! It will take 50 minutes to reach there, and his meeting starts in 30. I will have to be quick. I inform the same to the man. Oops! How rude of me, I did not introduce myself. I give him my name and in return get to know his "Liam". No doubt the man, I mean Liam is quite handsome, stop oogling. I have to get rid of this man soon, before my mind is out of control!

I am driving insanely fast for 2 reasons, one: to make him reach on time and two the most obvious one: I have to get rid of him soon. I can sense him little concerned about my fast driving, to keep him busy nd distracted I keep talking nonsense all the way, though I get nothing but soft humms.

We finally reach the destination which ends up being the same hotel I am staying in. Stay Away! He utters a quick thanks and exits the car. While turning, I see he has left his wallet. I see a lot of cards and cash in the wallet. I wasn't planning to peek. I checked because I was thinking of dropping it at the reception. We can't trust anyone. I should wait for him to come out.

When he came out, he by passed me. Did he not see me here? Or is he ignoring? I shout out to him and return his wallet. For a moment I see a lot of emotions on his face which is short lived! Then he asks for dinner, to which I am taken aback, not that I am expecting him to ask me out, but it is unexpected to come from such a cold being! And cherry on top I hear him chuckling, another surprise!

We wait for Bran and then we head for the dinner. Throughout the dinner Bran and me are the one's chatting, laughing, but Liam just keeps staring at me and sometimes lost in thoughts. We aren't able to say goodbyes as we end up being neighbors in the resort. Hah!

Bran left us the other day, so Liam and me are alone now. Em! I generally cook for myself, I don't like outside food much, and as I am on my vacay I should cook. I should offer some to Liam. I am not doing this to win him over, it is a normal courtesy. I see his shocked expression first when I knock on the door, he is contemplating something while I give him the food plate with my favorite ratatouille pasta in it. "I thought I would give you some as I prepared for myself, Bon Appetit!" I don't wait for his reply and dash to my room. Well, for one: he was looking extremely hot in those tight tshirts and denim Jean's just out of the shower and two: I should be in limits.

I jolt up from my deep slumber, seeing Bran calling me non-stop. It's just 11 in the morning, why is he calling. Yeah we exchanged numbers the other day. "Isa, can you see if Sir if awake, he's not picking up calls and everyone is worried hell here" Yup, he calls me Isa, he's like the big brother I never had. "Hello to you too Bran, I'll just have a look and give you a call back" I rush to washroom to do my business, at least brush my teeth and go to Liam.

I knock few times when the door open revealing Liam drenched in sweat. Was he working out? "Liam, Bran called, he was saying you're not picking any of your calls and they are worried about you" He nods, and doesn't close the door which I think is his way of inviting me in. Eye Roll. His suite and mine are a quite similar, I sit on the couch and wait for him. He just disappeared after opening the door. He comes back with the phone in his hand and sits beside me, the heat of his body radiating. I so want to ruffle his disheveled hairs, but I control the urge.

He seems lost. "Yes, I am fine, just email me the details, I'll be back in 2 days" So he is staying here for another 2 days. Should I be happy or sad? But why am I even thinking this? I am nothing to him.

"Sorry for being a bother, what would you like to have?" "It wasn't a bother at all, I just had to walk literally 20 steps to come here. And will you go out with me?" Did I just say will you go out with me? I again got to see various emotions on his face, just for a while, surprised, amused a SMIRK and then sadness! "I can see the wheels turning in your head, don't imagine things, what I meant was we are here for vacation so let's go out and explore, okay?" I know he'll refuse, I hope he agrees though.  "Okay"
