792 Words
I initially came just to say hi! and leave but since the encounter with her, I don't want to leave not now yet. Just then Ann's mom came and asked me to join for dinner and I nod in agreement. Moreover, I wanted a reason to stay by her for a little longer. As everyone gathered in the dining area and waiting for her I stood in a corner so I could sit by her and not far away.
Just then there was the faint smell of fragrance in the room making me aware she was here. she doesn't seem to notice me yet. and taking the opportunity I went and pulled a chair next to her.
She seemed in deep thoughts throughout the dinner. And we moved to the living room for some sweets. And while trying her best to avoid me she went and sat in far most corner couch. I intently walk and sat across her. Observing her every move. She seems very quiet and doesn't talk much I have heard just a selective word from her. Since I have come. She is just too scared to talk or speak her mind, mostly lost in her thoughts avoiding most of the interaction with a smile which never reaches her eyes.
Suddenly she stares at me uncomfortably. Am I making her uncomfortable? I never want her to be uncomfortable with me or be scared. This thought makes me more bitter in heart and I shifted my eyes from her got up said bye to Ann and her family not looking at her. Just as I was walking out through door I glanced at her and she seems sad and lost again. with that, I left the house.
Ann came down to see me off and said not to worry and she understands the attraction I am feeling towards her aunt but she doesn't want to force her either.
I just gave her a nod and left.
I reach home and went to my room and sat on the bed analyzing my day but all I could think of her. I was missing her. I know I just met her but I miss her and all I want her by my side to take away her loneliness and give her my strength and comfort her to tell her I am there by her side she doesn't have to be scared anymore or be alone. I will take care of her I will love and cherish her. Just such a strong desire to be with her. I never felt this not even for the last girl I dated. but Ella she was different she was very innocent and pure. no one told me but her eyes do more talking than her.
After a lot of thought and my struggle to sleep, I texted Ann.
"Are you awake"
She instantly Replied yes ( Mostly because she chats with her boyfriend)
I asked " Is your Aunt awake "
She quickly replies "Yes, She is struggling to sleep just rolling in ( Laughing Emoji)"
I Sent her smile.
which was relevant on my face. because I was struggling too. I quickly got up changed and went down to Ann's house waiting under her balcony. I have no idea why I came here at this hour. it's half past 3 in the morning. I know everything I have been doing is crazy but the action is in control of my heart.
I Send a text to Ann Asking "if she can wake her up and ask to come in the balcony I just wanted to see her"
She replies " are you insane? Just go home"
" She will kill me if I tell her that and moreover your action will frighten her more"
reading this I feel sad and I reply " Okay Good night, Wait At least ask her to give a Good night Kiss"
She quickly replies " You seems to have lost it, why would she do that?"
I reply " Just ask her to give to you, I will assume it for me, I don't want to panic her but just do it please" I know it sounds crazy even i am acting and doing crazy things, but I have just drawn towards her innocence and those eyes. like it was meant to be and is only for me to protect her and love her.
As I was about to reply to her this her text comes in " Are you in love with her or what? like Love at first sight?"
I was in a daze was I? after thinking for a few minutes I reply "I guess so (Shy Emoji)"
As I was chatting with Ann I see someone in the balcony looking around. I wonder why Ann came out but after some time I see a familiar figure.
ITS HER.
