After an hour the ceremony finished and now it was lunch time. Every elite member including Ian left . I saw him leaving without even seeing me again the whole time as if I don't exist , this broke my heart. But what was I even expecting , he is not Damon who loved me, cherished me , spoiled me in every possible way. He just have his face and voice . A terrible coincidence . But what if he is my Damon, he is incarnated . No no no its not possible , such things doesn't exist , but time travel is also not known to exist. But it happened , I travelled more than 2000 years back and came back again. So does it mean there is a possibility that he is Damon ? I need to find out , and I will.
With these thoughts I got up from my seat , but suddenly I heard someone saying " At least a thank you will be polite to say" .
I turned to my left and saw a person who saved me earlier from being laughed at.
He is handsome man with tanned skin , green eyes and charismatic smile.He stood up stretched his hand for handshake and introduced himself- " Hey and I am Alan , Alan Louis". I smiled shook his hand and said "Hello I am Aurora . I really appreciate your help , thank you Alan"
" Do you really think thank you should suffice , you can thank me by treating me to lunch? ". He asked crossing his arms.
My mind was in a mess so today was not a good day for treat so I politely replied " Yes, I owe you , but may be next time . You can choose any place".
"Are you on diet?" He asked.
"No." I replied honestly.
"Then lets grab a quick meal . Its already lunch time and we have around one hour before the college formalities resume". He said as a matter of fact.
"But I am not hungry.." I protested.
" Will see there".He said still not leaving my hand.
"But..."Before I could finish my sentence he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the exit of the auditorium.
"I don't have any friend here and I am really hungry so lets go. I know a wonderfull place here to cheer up your mood." He said as a matter of fact.
I could not refuse again so went with him. He took me to a nearby cafe. As soon as I entered, I was welcomed by aroma filled with chocolate and cinnamon and then something embarrasing happened. My stomach growled. s**t.
"Someone was not hungry ."He said in teasing mode.
I blushed with embarressment.
"Pasta is a speciality here you can try it." He changed the topic to not embarress me anymore and I was thankfull for it.
"Yes , I like Pasta , I can try."I said looking at the menu.
We went to a seat near window then he went to order the dishes .He came back with some board games.
"From where did you get these?" I asked surprisingly.
"Oh , they have these for entertainment. I thought it would cheer you up , and lift your spirits till the food is ready".He said with a concern in his eyes.
"I am absolutely fine, I don't know why you felt otherwise." I tried to say with confidence.
"Really !! It didn't seem like that at that time. You were behaving as if you were sitting on thorns."He said looking straight into my eyes.
I moved my eyes to the nearby surrounding to avoid his gaze.
He cleared this throat and then started explaining game rules. The game was indeed intresting .We played twices, and I won both the times. I was teasing him for not winning even once when he was the one who introduced the game to me. He said he will won the next game , but before we could start our food arrived.
"I deliberately lost so that you can win and cheer up, we can't play more otherwise I would have proved who is the champion". He said mocking.
"Please do not start crying . I really don't know how to coax an adult ". I said laughing hesterically .He was really behaving like a child who just lost a game.
"I can't take my eyes off when you are laughing." He said with seriousness. "I will just be back from washroom". He added and left immediately.
I stopped laughing listening his words and become serious again. I felt a little uneasy hearing his words so I looked outside the window.
There he was leaning against the window looking directly at me with eyes that can easily burn you.As soon as our eyes met he looked at me shamelessly and then he wore his glares , opened the car gate and left .
