The Boss of Me

When it began.... Cruising down in my sports car brought relief to the turmoil going through my mind at the moment... Suddenly something black dashed in front of my car causing me to swerve abruptly and press the brakes forcefully giving the car a hard jerk almost tumbling over but fortunately not hitting whatever that was Getting out of the car I went ahead to see what happened Near to the side of my car in front of the bumper was a cuddled figure Looking closely I saw that it was a woman Damn.... That was a close call really "Hey, Miss are you okay?" I asked her gently not wanting to upset her more knowing she would be shaken Silence... I was regarded with only silence Okay.... I hate being ignored but I tried to hold in my rage understanding what she must be going through Undergoing such an experience and she looks so frail looking like a 16-year-old or there about and she was wearing a school uniform "Hey...please tell me if you're ok or hurt? Should I take you to the hospital?" I told her as calmly as possible but for some reason, she suddenly turned to look at me with fiery eyes Glaring up at me with so much anger and distaste Okay I get she's in shock for almost being in an accident just now but so am I besides who asked her to dash into a 60km Road like that Good thing I applied the brakes on time saving both of us Her from injuries and Me from eternal guilt Still glaring at me I took my time to actually look at her and man it would have been a great loss on earth if anything had happened to her She has such a cute baby face and was looking more cute and adorable with her eyes narrowed into slit trying to look angry But damn f*****g adorable that I could easily look at that face all the time Wait!!! What the heck am I saying? She's a freaking teenager or so and I'm 27 That is a total pedo Keeping calm and holding my temper in check I asked her again while getting down to her level "Hey? Are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere? Do you need me to take you to the hospital? " I proceed to touch her shoulder but I never expected her reaction towards me She suddenly shoved my hand from her shoulder with such great force that caused me to lose my stamina and tumble down I flared up shocked and yelled at her completely losing my cool "What the hell is wrong with you? What did you do that for? I have been trying to be patient and reasonable with you trying to make sure you are not hurt even though it was your fault for dashing into the road like that" I did not mean to be harsh but she was being too inconsiderate "My Fault?!" She sneered coldly looking up at me giving off the vibe of a ruthless aristocrat Okay... She then stood up forcefully almost falling back because of the momentum she used to stand up due to her agitation And why the hell would she be agitated when what she did was unjustifiable but just then I noticed the furry bundle curled up in her arms A little puppy She risked her life for a puppy Most teenagers now are so self absorbed that they couldn't care less but this little girl did not hesitate even for a moment but swooped in dashing into an express road just to save a dog Wow... My admiration towards her just increased ten folds "How dare say it was my fault mister?" She continued breathlessly "You monster, are you blind or something? You almost crushed this little guy here. You are concerned about hurting me?! But it is okay for this little guy to be hurt right. You are trying to be all self righteous when you don't even have a conscience. You are just a..." I just yelled at her to cut her off "SHUT UP!!! I couldn't bear to listen to her ruthless accusations anymore Who the hell does she think she is? She doesn't even know me yet she goes on and on about my character and morals Is she that shallow and narrow-minded? I admit that I was wrong by being a little bit absent minded a while back on the road but this was a free express road with no crossing permit. I knew of that quite alright It was quite late in the night as well and the place was so dark. The only visible light was the illumination from the headlights of my car and the lights coming from the shops around but they were quite a distance from the road I stood up and took in a deep breath to calm down because one of us has to be the mature head here and it definitely can not be her I turned to her and began explaining my side of the story calmly " Listen, I really had no idea there was a puppy on the road. If I had seen it, I surely would have stopped and picked it up and besides this is a 60km/hr one way express road. The likelihood of seeing a person on the road just like that is absurd and surely seeing an animal was not a possibility considering it is the middle of the city with no forest or parks nearby" She stood silently looking at the ground in deep thoughts I just hope she understands my explanation and realizes that it was an honest mistake She suddenly looked up and stared right into my eyes I was blown away I had not looked at her properly because I was upset with her actions and the words she was spewing But right now with the little illumination of the car's headlights, I was looking at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my 27 years of life Okay may be like 20 years of my life starting from when I started to know what is beautiful or not I just stood in a daze and I could not afford to look away even for a second I could see her lips moving but I was completely out of it 'but she's just a teenager....' That single thought crashed through my subconscious breaking me out of my daze back to reality I staggered back a few steps from her What the hell was I thinking?! She was a teenager and in school as well and I am the CEO of my own company already A very large gap between us that could not be bridged "Hey Mister, What is wrong? are you okay? Are you hurt?" Her soft voice floated into my ears carrying a tinge of concern and worry which was not there when she was lashing out at me But all the same It was a misunderstanding and it only showed how much she is passionate about animals Just as I was about to respond to her, a man that looked about her age but more mature rushed up to where we were standing He was wearing the same type of uniform she was wearing Must be her classmate or... My throat clammed up at that I could not bear to think of her as someone else's What the hell is wrong with me? I can not be with her but why am I thinking this way? Why am I so attracted to her so suddenly even though we started off on the wrong foot? Hell....!!! "Hey Sal, You okay?" He asked her pulling her towards him while looking at me with a hostile gaze clearly trying to show propriety over her But I just threw him a nonchalant look "I'm alright Dave, just rescued this cute little furry ball. No need to worry" She said nuzzling into the puppy as it let out a playful yelp I guess the puppy knew it was in a safe hand "Why won't I worry? I came back from the restroom and I could not find you anywhere " "Eww Dave stop squishing me with your nasty hands. You just left the restroom and I bet you hardly washed your hands before leaving " The Dave guy just looked at her flabbergasted and as for me I was trying hard to keep on my laugh but I guess It didn't work as he gave me an unamused look while she was unaware of the effect of her words I decided to approach her and at least pet the puppy but before I could take a step forward, the guys took notice of my actions and suddenly began dragging her away while she began another round of complaints about his nasty hands and how it was rude of him to drag her without a proper farewell But he was unrelenting I think I fell in love at first sight but with someone unreachable On a second thought, it is for the best we ended this way as there was no future in it So what's the use trying to get familiar ? Sigh....
