Chapter 57 - Dumb Moron!

Sun rays greeted me as I bid farewell to my shattered dreams and friendly night as I was woken up by the left side of the bed. 

With a heavy spinning head and body ache I lifted myself and stretched a bit, and a foggy memory of last night made me shiver again, my heart leaped at once as a chill ran down my spine upon a certain thought which became clear. 

"It is okay, Syna. That was exactly what you wanted but how...how come he did that out of the blue?"

I sighed and became more quizzical after what Sinclair did last night.

"Does it means he has some feelings for me?"

A sudden urge rose within me after experiencing his strange behaviour yesterday. 

"Wait...does he? I have to find out as soon as possible. If he has then it's good in my part."

Even that was just my assumption but the memory carried me to the ninth sky.

"Glad it's weekend and I have plenty of time to find out for my answers."

Immediately I shot up from the bed with legs dangling for a minute and walked towards the washroom, pushed the door and went in.

"Ow! My eyes! I'm looking like a real life panda. Ughh! Damn you Sinclair."

My eyes were showing clear signs of staying up all night questioning and pondering.

I cursed Sinclair for putting me in such a condition that I had to place some foundation below my puffy red eyes after splashing water on my face and got out to dress up.

"Lets see, I should pick something elegant yet sexy to impress him more."

As I stood in front of the cupboard with variety of colors peeking and awaiting for me to select a piece.

"This would do good."

I picked out a purple flared skirt and a grey flutter and hurriedly slipped into the dress, did a quick makeover.

Before leaving the room I sighed and encouraged.

"It was not an accident, nothing to be afraid off, I won't let him say that was a mere accident. But man, he was hot last night!"

I accepted truthfully that he sucked out my soul and trapped it by tranquilizing me under his magical spell of devilishly handsome looks. 

That man successfully penetrated through my soul as if he claimed it, I only liked him before but now it was something more than affection. Something more than unstable sudden impulse of liking towards anyone.

I pulled the door and crept out of my room straight towards the kitchen. My eyes weren't looking for him as I walked manifesting that 'nothing happened expression' when he popped out from nowhere.

"Aigoo! you startled me."

I cringed in disgust as I nearly got a mini attack while Sinclair started laughing.

"You and got afraid, that is a mere joke, how can a lioness get terrified of a lamb?"

He was making fun of me when suddenly pushed me back as my silhouette touched the wall.

"W-ha-what are you doing?"

For sure I was nervous as hell, he was so close to me, only a few inches away  and making eye contact, he was looking dangerously handsome.

His eyes darted onto my face as if he was trying to read my expressions or something else. The sudden memory of yesterday's flashed through my mind and caused me to flush with redness. 

"Wait! you, you cried?"

Perhaps he was really concerned but what the hell! Who cries after a kiss!? Was he really a dumb moron? 

"N-no, I just…."

Before I could say something he leaned and hovered closer as his warm fresh breath brushed my face.

"Listen to me Syna, what is it tell me. If you are upset about yesterday then I'm really sorry that ...I completely went overboard."

Though I liked his apology which I wasn't expecting but his closeness was killing me. My inner haughty female was falling for his touch somehow I wasn't afraid of him, or the fact that he was a Ghost rather just nervous.

"No  actually it isn't...."

And my hiccups started. I covered my mouth immediately in embarrassment and pushed him back.

"I should make breakfast today."

My voice occurred in between hiccups as I rushed towards the kitchen and started my preparations.

My heart beat calmed soon after I arrived in the kitchen and my hiccups stopped. But the romantic flashes of last night popped in my head and all my guard died down.

I could feel my body urging for his embrace and longing for his touch. Maybe that's what people call being whipped in love or being poisoned with love, this affection was killing me now by drugging with his sensuality.

"Food is ready. Come and eat while it's hot."

Soon after I prepared pancakes with honey and coffee, I called out to him.

He arrived to the table nook right after my statement smiling which added to my flushed face.

"What's with these hiccups?"

He asked me out of the blue during the breakfast which made me stop the fork right in front of my mouth.

"Actually, S-Sinclair, it occurs in nervousness."

My cheeks were tomato red as I told him. He made an O-shaped mouth and said nothing rather just stared at me in bemusement. 

"Oh! as you are here in the position of my contractual girlfriend, but what happened last night ...do you want me to take your responsibility."

He began in a serious voice but I became sure that man didn't know what to say and what came across his mind that he proposed that idea. But his words stirred up mixed feelings within me, I became angry yet longed for him to put his words into work.

"So, how you want me to take responsibility and care of you?

His statement made me hot from head to toe, I felt like I was in the midst of a volcano,  

but I didn't want him to take responsibility out of guilt rather I want him to love me unconditionally.
