Song suggestion : Crush by David Archuleta Arshita Half of the day went away already and I hadn't seen him was a great relief but I don't know why the hell his amused face flashed in my head after every stupid seconds. I looked at the stupid girl sitting across me doing enough to irritate me. I was so hating myself for even thinking about him and she kept on pestering me to spill all at once. I know I am not a good friend but should you tell the girl who would definitely tease you later and make it much worse? "Keep making ugly faces, you are not getting anything to warm your dirty ears. " I yelled at her at the end elbowing Abeer for making childish sounds. His phone was already buzzing with the g*n and horrible death yell. It was some kind of boyish online video game where they kill people. That sucks! " Mute it else you will find your fine a*s on the door! " I snarled and he chuckled. "Kay love." He sang giving me his high voltage smile in Piya's context of course. I glanced at her fallen face which killed my heart. "Who the hell is your love! Why all men are just determined to piss me off? " I said aloud scratching my head. His amused smile again appeared in front of my eye and that was what high voltage smile actually. " Why are you just taking him so much on your head? " Abeer said throwing his phone on the table. " What was that? " Piya and I said this at the same time noticing his authoritative self as he eyed me for long and then gave Piya an incredulous look. " Look here we girls count more to not watch you behave like you are my dad. " I teased pointing both of us and Piya laughed shortly. " Don't you laugh. I still don't approve of your late night party last weekend with those boasting bastards. " Abeer retorted back making his tone convincing a bit. Piya went to her old friend's friend party far away from city in the middle of the night without thinking even once if those people were good or not. For God's sake they were so not mean and dirtier to lay eyes on any woman, as Piya explained me but I know very well it was exactly the opposite. Abeer drove to her at about 4 in the morning to check on her or just say drag her away and she was fine. But later she told me how great she felt as she watched Abeer drive her and teach her what the word discipline was. I know he cared for her so much in the world even more than me. It was just that she was friend zoned from the beginning to make him realize her love, the lovers love. I came after long time to attract his unwanted attention. " Do you think I give a s**t about you?" Piya laughed again and he fumed in anger. "Piya I forbid you for doing such thing again. " He commanded her and that's how I always saw the love for her. He just needed to get his nerves touched to enlighten his dumb head how sweet they looked together. " Forbid my foot! " She spoke palming the table and looking at him in challenging facade. " Don't test me. This is last time I am saying it else - " He tried to scare her in vein. Piya only hyperventilated when exposed with some work involving bosses otherwise she was tigress. " Else Abeer baby? " She said fake laughing to annoy him. " I will call your parents. " He stated giving us smug smile. " Are you that stupid? " Piya said and I looked at them adoring their pretty bickering. "Continue your love fight people." I wiggled my eye brows and after that instant the air around us filled with awkwardness as they both exchanged awed looks. Enlighten him by lighting a little fire I thought as I winked at Piya and stood up to head to my work. Our brake was already finished and we were five minutes late too. " Love birds our lunch time ends here! " I proclaimed hanging my purse as Piya flushed listening to me while Abeer kept shut. " And I will tell you everything I promise! " I said as I kissed Piya's cheek. Sudden urge to tell her every single thing got into me, maybe just because I thought she needed to remain happy getting what she wanted. " See you at the car. " I sang to then striding towards the top floor. We decided to drive together until I got my car repaired . It was better with them rather than using my bosses. Did I use better? Well Piya' knack to know things made me say this otherwise she is my darling. Without peeking in his office I leisurely walked towards my cabin. After all neither I faced him to get extra work nor I was left with much to walk like this. But where was he? Wasn't I supposed to arrange or keep track of his schedule? But he didn't tell me. I showed my thoughts and sat on my chair to deal with the little file work. My landline buzzed and I pressed the button to get my bosses order. First he got back to the office now? Alright he was the boss. Arshita! In my office in five minutes with hot coffee. Landline beeped to indicate he was done. I got up reluctantly as the idea of facing his amused face was last thing I wanted although I was secretary I couldn't think this way. Within five minutes I hope, I was done with the coffee making and now walking to his door. I took a deep breath before entering as his last night talk rewind in my head. "Good afternoon sir! " I said nonchalantly to get his quick smile, never out of stock. " Afternoon Arshi! " He chortled between his work. I kept staring him to read his head but I was only capable to see his smiling face nothing else. Arshi. Arshita. Miss Arshita. I don't know why he kept changing the reference all the time. The sound of paper hustle as he turned the pages entered my ears while I properly placed the coffee mug in his table. "Can I address you your work all over again if you are done wondering your world? " He smirked with his eyes on his papers. Again? " What? " I said offended as he glanced me picking the coffee mug and taking the sip of it. " Thank you for this coffee. I appreciate it but you are kind of in charge to keep my meetings arranged and for that you ought to ask me what I am planning for my day so that you could schedule my work with personal things. And for all of it you would want to stick around me and not always sit in your office to wait for me to address the standard task. " " Oh! " I said to myself thinking the work of Personal assistant was totally based on how much one was interested to make his bosses life easy. And how much I knew I didn't even wanted to be near him so I wasn't supposed to be in this place. " Ahh! Here you get it. " He said blankly staring me for a while, then added," The wrong way. " " What? I didn't even said the single word. " I said aloud as he narrowed his eyes trying to scare me for the first time. " Just look yourself in the mirror while you wonder your land because you just don't think you kind of say it aloud Miss Arshita! " He smirked standing five inches away from me. I gulped at the thought if he knew I actually thought about him. He smirked again before sitting on his chair and getting back to his business outlook. "You will receive all my business invitations and personal invitations, business meetings or formal appointments to arrange them in the order of their importance or my preference which might change with time. I know you are doing the filing thing properly but you got to attend my business meetings with me to take notes or compose my informal mails. You will also take care of the gifts for the parties I attend if I don't specify it. In addition, you will book my flights, hotel rooms in advance if you get the air of me going out for business without me reminding. Where are your notes? " He kept saying it and I looked at him agape for the way he was treating me. He never talked this way to me any other time. Was this way PA treated? " I don't. " I said lowly as he raised his brows making 'o' with his mouth mockingly. " I hope you have good memory. " He said blankly next. " I do sir! " it came out grudgingly. I know I didn't any of the thing above just because I wasn't PA whole my life. " For now please book a table in decent hotel and cancel any appointments tonight. I would like you to select a classic ladies hand bag to gift. Arrange the rest please . " He said before looking into his laptop. His date? Of course he had life. But it hurt when I wanted to ignore it. " Rest? As in? " I asked and he sighed in disapproval. But another second his face covered with the normal smile which wasn't normal but that's how he smiled at me. " Business meeting in a hotel at night. So choose good table location and a beautiful bouquet for the lady. Don't you know what meeting I am having? " He asked. I stood, shut off to do anything when he said again," Never mind! After all I arranged my schedule myself. Just do the arrangements Arshita. " I nodded and turned to leave the room. For a moment I thought I heard him stop me and so I looked back only to find him busy in his work already. " It shouldn't feel bad! " I said as I stomped in my office. I searched for the so called called decent hotel and booked the whole lot private room for his business meet. I randomly picked the handbag with highest price tag as it was hard to select the simple bags with just high price in the screen with nothing to at least attract me . Little later I was given a mail to compose and send to about twenty people and answer to them if they agreed with what was written in it. And that's how I understood how it worked. I arranged his meetings for next five days. Later he mailed me his other informal parties dates and I adjusted them with his meeting and it sucked to change the schedule all over again. "Get me the reports of last year's investment in business with Mathur's." He asked me straight on phone with no swings in his words. "Okay sir! " I too brought so much professionalism in my voice. Deeply engrossed into work I almost forgot to keep track of the time. It was already 8 pm and he wanted those paper work done this day itself. I don't know why but I thought he was just trying to bulk me with work, lot of work. Abeer left three miss calls and I got him on fourth. "Where are you?" He asked annoyed. "I am having work to complete tonight itself. You guys leave I will take taxi to home. " I said looking at the files. "It's fine. We will dine somewhere near. Tell us when you are done." He said and that was how he was. Caring for Piya and I. "Okay. " I sang to hear him laugh a but. At least just because of me they would spend more quality time I thought. I took a deep breath and planted my butt more into the soft cushion of my chair as my work was done. Before heading to him, I called Piya to let them pretty more time to finish their dinner without hurrying before catching me. I knocked his door before entering inside. He looked up to me and said, "You have done it!" I nodded passing him the file. He began shutting his laptop and slid it inside his black bag. He grabbed few files from his desk and put it inside too. "So let's go. " He said cheerfully and that was him now like always. I gave him small smile. Well I was so tired to stand anymore so decided to pick my things and get out. " Goodnight sir! " I wished him before turning to exit but his words stopped me. " Not yet! I am dropping you home after our meeting. " He stated in commanding tone, the way he was doing the whole day around and exited the office before me. " I am waiting for you to get your things. " He said as he headed towards the elevator without letting me say a word against it. Determined to not accept his command, I hurried to grab my things and deny his offer. Wasn't the working hour over? But I was so stupid to think like that because at the end of all kind of excuse, tantrum and refusal a person can throw, I was still sitting beside him all smiling at him by force. "Ready to escort me to my meeting my PA Arshita? " He asked proud of forcing me to it saying it was my responsibility and work. " Yes Boss! " I contempt as he passed me his s**t-eating grin. ******* Hope you enjoyed this. Please share this story etc your friends. ***Don't forget to vote, comment and Share the story ***
