NEXT DAY
Sterling Pov:
I chose my favourite white shirt along with beige chinos from my suitcase after a lot of thought....
While I was getting ready I suddenly thought... "what the hell am I doing... from when I m being so cautious about my appearance and why am I thinking what she will think of me after seeing me in the look...
what the hell is happening?" I was shockingly thinking while looking at mirror.
A whole morning passed, but Meghan was nowhere to be seen...
where Is she? Is something wrong with her....
I was waiting the whole time for her to look at my appearance but she is not there.... I tried to look for her but due to multiple work loads I couldn't but still she should be somewhere nearby...
Do you know if Meghan has come today? I asked her colleague during morning tea break..
"Yes, She is in room no. 18, she is assisting Mr. Richard from one of your group leader inside the room today in events..." He replied and left.
I was thinking why the hell Richard need someone else to assist him on the very 2nd day of events...
I knocked on room no. 18, and just few secs later, She opened the door.... Meghan, same simple face with nervous look and a awkward smile... Wearing a beautiful White and black top with black jeans and a high ponytail.... Looking adorable but also beautiful... I felt like after seeing her I forgot to breathe... While I gasped for air ND before I could say anything a female junior employee drag her along and make her dance while they were doing a folk dance....
She was there... Dancing... steps were in sync as if she was doing it from her childhood.... She dance so well... while dancing I could see her smiling and laughing so genuinely for the very 1st time...
And a sudden fullfillness filled my heart which was not there in the morning... somehow I realized her absence made me to miss her and due to which I felt empty the whole morning and when I just saw her I was filled to the Brim....
"Isn't she beautiful while dancing" Richard asked we while coming towards me in a very slow tune as if he wants to know my heart feeling... And subconsciously I replied and blushed before realizing" Yes She is....!!!!!"
Richard gave a teasing look and went to join in the fun. when I saw he was approaching Meghan to hold hands while dancing there was a sudden surge of jealousy and anger I felt as I stepped forward and hold her hands before he could and joined in the fun little while... Her hands are small and soft... I enjoyed the whole dance with her and want to continue like this forever... I gave Richard a warning look before dragging Meghan out of the room while she never said a word the whole time and instead gave a very confused look...
