"I like you a lot Muna. I always watch you each time you go out to get something. I also saw you on your first day at work. I started coming because of you, but you never seem to notice me. I'm never gonna hurt .. I just wanna scare you a little because you acted so reckless last night by following a stranger to his house."
I looked at him and pulled back a little. My mind sometimes confuses me ..how it blocks some things, like pausing them and the only thing that shows that, that thing is actually there is it's movement.
Like earlier, I never heard words that came out of Lucius mouth, I only saw his mouth moving, but now I can see all. I can hear him. I see his mouth moving. I feel his words.
He's touching me now ..lovingly. He doesn't look so bad. "What?" I asked. I heard him though, I just want him to rephrase it.
I watched him look at me for a while before he began. "My friends weren't expecting you to come home with me. They know about you because I've been crushing on you but never had the courage to ask you out and when I did yesterday .. I was expecting you to turn me down. I just wanted you to notice me. I was surprised but at the same time excited."
I took a deep breath. "So you're not going to hurt me? You're gonna let me leave?"
"Yes." He replied.
I let out the breath I didn't know I was still holding. "Alright then, please can I go now? I really want to or else I will be so late for work."
I saw him smile a little. I'm sure he smiled because I was smiling at him nervously. Which I know he doesn't get.
He insisted on escorting me to my work place. I agreed just so I could be out already just Incase there's a slightest possibility that he would change his mind and do what paved people do to stupid but innocent girls.
"Why is he still smiling?" I mused really curious, but continued walking beside him as if I'm the most comfortable being in the world.
I felt his hands bumping on mine until he finally grabbed it. I rolled my eyes in my mind.
"So I was right when I said his type of shyness is kinda unique and one would miss it if they didn't look deeper." I mused before chuckling in my mind and muttered to myself "He's so f****d!"
As we walked a few more miles, I turned and began stealing a little look of him. "He seems to be a good person." I know I've made this calculation before, but now looking closer, he seems kinda cute which is
..so somehow.
I looked back. I think I would've considered trying him out for a long term relationship if Alex isn't my one and only.
I made up my mind to set him straight when we get to my work place, but as some things aren't expected ..like the handsome Ethan standing beside the counter and looking all over the place as if he's searching for his favorite lost puppy. I immediately pulled away from Lucius.
He moved closer to me and tried to take hold of my hands again. I know what he's doing ..I f*****g know his feelings for me.
"Oh goodness! I'm so sorry mister weird romantic, but I think I'm going to go ahead right now and burst your bubbles." I mused as I pulled away from him again and pushed him away a little.
"I.." I began to say, but stopped when I realized that I'm acting up.
"Stop Muna, take a deep breath." And then I exhale out.
I touched his hands which got him to look at me, not worryingly this time. "I'm sorry i can't give you a chance because I have a fiancé and we're getting married next month."
I saw him smile and then kiss my cheeks. " I will see you in the evening." He said and then he left looking happy.
I stood where I was looking so confused until it hit me .. what I had actually told him. "My boss doesn't like his wait staff standing idle or talking to someone who isn't his customer, I will like to see you again in the evening if that's okay with you."
"Oh my old soul!" I screamed, yet again in my mind. I screamed not because of Lucius, but Ethan.
I saw him as he saw me. I was watching him, I saw when he recognized me and smiled then began walking to me, but why did I still panicked and trembled when he got nearer?.
I feel him wrap his hands around my waist, although he did it to prevent me from falling, it feels as if he's romancing me.
"Why is he still so close?" I mused as I looked up at him. I immediately looked back down screaming. "Hot! So finnne."
