Sorry for alll the mistakes, I didn't got time to proofread or edit, sorry guys
Recap: Sia's first day at office
Sia's Pov
We reached my home by 7:45 pm, coming out from the car, I said "Bye Xander an..and Thanks for the ride"
But he pulled me by my arm and said "Wont you invite me in?"
"ye... yes, I was going to, Please co..come inside" I said stammering
" if you insist" saying this he left me and got out
We started walking to the door, me following him always, while he walks like he own the world
Knocking the door, My mum opens it and before anything she said "you are late Sia"
"Mum..umm Xander's here" I said trying to make my mum stop
" Oh Xander, Come in" she said ignoring me
Xander came and said the pleasentries
both my aunt and mum took Xander to the living area and start talking with him
I was also going to sit but my aunt eyes stopped me indicating something which I wasn't able to get
"Sia, where are your manners, go and make some coffee, he must be tired" my mom said thus making it clear what my aunt was referring to
Staring both of the ladies for a second, I went to make coffee
No one think about me, I also came from work only
Putting those thoughts away I made coffee
"How much Sugar" I asked once reaching in the living area
Xander looked at me and said " none"
Finally I sit on the couch,
'god what a relief' I thought and closed my eyes
"Umm Aunt Princia and Katie, She needs to shift" I open my eyes suddenly and stared at him like he has two heads
"What" I yelled and got ignored
"Is everything fine" my aunt asked
"Actually the office is far away from here she won't be able to come early in office or home"
"Even today she reached at 11:30, and the office is from 9" he said
'No no no, you shouldn't have said this' I thought but the blunder is already done
Nervously I looked at my mother who was staring at me like I insulted her in the public
I looked down thinking that indeed I'm a burden for everyone
" I.. I'm sorry X, I had no idea"
Said my mum looking embarassed
"Its ok, Miss Evans. Its just that If she will live near the office premises, she won't have to worry that much"
"Yeah, what you are saying is right. But let her uncle come first" said my aunt
"But I don't want to Shift" I said trying to make them understand
"Not a word Sia" my mum said sternly
just then my uncle came and after talking to him, it was settled that I'm gonna shift tomorrow
No one asked my opinion that what I want and that hurts me the most
My mum didn't ask because she thinks of everyone except me
I didn't have any expectations from my aunt & uncle
Talking about Xander, I don't know
"Ok then" Xander said standing
They all shook hands and then Xander stopped and stared at me for good 2 mins.
I didn't said anything, I was mad and hurt and angry and sad
After Xander left, My family starts telling me what would I do and what not.
There is actually some charm in Xander, just in a week he managed to impress my whole family including me
I went and started packing, my mother came and start telling me how I'm supposed to behave, don't be lazy and all
I'm fed up of all this, sometimes I wonder why me?
I'm not confident because I've been compared a lot from people and when I said people its not other people instead its my own family. I know they love me, but its just that I dont want to be compared
Thinking all this I slept because next day I didn't know whats gonna happen
Xander said he's going to pick me at 6:30 so that first we will go to the apartment and then office
According to him, that apartment is for office employees, but I still have second thoughts with this
----••••----••••----
"Sia, get up" my mum said loudly standing beside my bed
"Huh" I mumbled
" Get up, its 6. Xander is gonna pick you up" saying this she started arranging my clothes and all
I sighed and went to the washroom,
I wore my denim with jeans
Sia's outfit
My mother came with Teary eyes and said " Take care, baby. All I have is you"
I hugged her "mum, I don't want to go" said sadly
"Even I don't want you to, but you have to" said my mum
I didn't said anything because she won't listen to whatever I'll say
We went down to see Xander already sitting wearing denim jacket with jeans look ravishing as usual,
Xander's outfit
After saying bye, We left
"I'm gonna miss you all" I hugged them
"Hey Don't cry, you aren't going for forever" said Kevin
After all the emotional bye session, I went with Xander
"You ok" he asked
I nodded
"Words, I need words" he said sternly
"Y.. yes, I'm ok" I stammered
"Good, you will love your new apartment" he said softly
Bipolar enough, I thought
After a tiring drive, we reached
Thank god for the medicine I took, otherwise I would have vomited in his car
I get car sick very easily that's why I don't like any vehicle which is closed
"Here comes your apartment" he said
I looked from the car, and it was amazing view
Coming out, we went inside and he took me to the 20th floor where my apartment is
It was luxurious and lavish and amazing and everything, It was a 2-room apartment with a very huge balcony where the view is enchanting
Sia's apartment
"So, how's it" he asked looking me
"Its..its amazing, I told him with a genuine smile "
He smiled and nodded
" Sia, I'm gonna go to my apartment, will meet you in 15"
"Umm, where" I asked because he didn't tell where to meet
"here only, oh I forgot to mention you I live in the same building at the top floor" he said casually
My mouth and eyes open widely because I didn't know how to react with this new information
"Ooh..ohk" I said to him
He smiled at my shocked face and then left
I looked around the apartment, I realise it was very luxurious
'Xander's also live in the same building, so Obviously it will be luxurious, dumbo' I thought
But I don't know the rent, and most importantly how am I gonna pay, oh god these thoughts are killing me
I decided that I've to change the apartment and look for some cheap one and for that first I need to tell Xander
"Thinking about me" he said in my ear
"N..no" I said turning towards him
he smirked
"lets go, we're going to be late" he said
I looked him from head to toe and realised that he didn't wore formals
"I told you I don't like formals so I don't wear it often" he said understanding what I was thinking
I nodded and then gathered all the courage and said "Xander umm... I....I can't live here"
He looks confused and then frustrated and then all of sudden his expression changed into concerned one
"why??... You don't like the apartment?" He asked
"No no the apartment is very nice, its just that I....umm I" I tried but I couldn't complete my sentence due to his intense gaze on my face
And then he pulled me closer than necessary,
His one hand was on my waist while the other one was under my chin so that I won't look down
"Tell me, what happen" he asked softly
His breathe was fanning my face and I forgot how to form a sentence
"I..umm...I have m..money enough. don't to the rent..pay"
I started jumbling and stuttering
'God! This is embarassing' I thought
" and who told you that you have to pay" he asked in my ears making sure that his lips are touching my ears
" Obviously have to I....using the apartment I so...m.me will to have pay right? owner will...the..m..mad other..Otherwise " I said stuttering while trying to free myself from his iron grip
"I don't know but yes I can assure you one thing that the owner wont be mad, because he himself want you to be here" he said
"Huh" I said confused
"Are you really a dimwit or you trying to" he said sarcastically
This brought tears in my eyes
'Oh god Sia, Grow up' I scolded myself
" Hey hey, I was joking" he tries to calm me down
finally he removed his hands from my waist and chin and I sighed
"And what I was saying is that I'm the owner of this building, and I want you to live in this apartment" He said
I was numb, I mean this guy never fails to stun me
"B..but why me" I asked
"I've already told you quite a few times, but I think you don't want to believe that reason so the other reason is because you're my employee and I don't want you to be late" he asked tiredly
I didn't know what to say and how to react
My mind and my heart were having a battle, I mean of all the other people why me, only?
"Hey hey, you again zoned out" he said pulling me out from my thoughts and said
" If your Question and Answer session are over, so can we please go??" He asked
And I nodded and said " yes" because looking at his face I knew he's going to burst down if I'll ask anything
So I just followed him, AGAIN
