Freak

An Admirer

" Cool! she just read my mind, Oh! f**k did she messing with me." Evan was amazed as well as scared of her sudden response.

"Stop it, Get back to work Evan." Eve was staring at the person standing in front of her eyeing her with curiosity making her more conscious about her appearance.

Without wasting time he arranged baggage in the car trunk.

"I didn't know that I have to work for such a cute girl. Her hazel eyes are captivating, and......" Evan thought to himself looking at her through a rare view mirror smiling to himself. before he can complete his sentence Eve interpreted him slightly blushing "Drive slowly my grams doesn't like fast driving."

He nodded his head and gave her his nicest look making an effort to impress her hard.

"Is she reading my mind, but how?? she's responding as if.... did she know I already like her... Oops, f**k but it's Cool though." Evan starts mumbling to himself, searching for a way to clear his mind, he didn't want to lose his job on the very first day, just because he found his one of boss attractive.

Eve turned bright red, And why not for the first time someone thinks that she's not a freak but cool. Even the person driving her to her new home find her cute and even like her even in her not so fashionable clothes. She knew that her ability always terrified others and Evan also going to scared of her soon.

Peeking at Eve's flushed face hidden in hoddie. Evan was more confused about what to think next, yes what to think after all she's different, he needs to be cautious of what to think in front of her.

Just for checking whether she can read his mind or he's just predicting it because of coincidence. "I should ask her permission to play some good music," he thinks to himself. But this time he didn't get any response. He should be relieved by the results, instead, he was feeling unfortunate as no one ever tried to know what he feels or thinks.

Seeing her Granddaughter bright red and hiding behind her sketchbook, Flora nudges her lightly through her elbow for gaining her attention. She eyed her giving her best questioning look.

Eve knew what her grams was thinking, for changing the topic she said to Evan, " Evan please turn on the radio." and signal her grams that she will tell her after reaching home.

Flora glance from her little eve to Evan c*****g an eyebrow, " Concentrate on the road" She said in a serious tone making Evan startled.

Evan's eyes were out of the socket. First Eve finally told her to turn on the radio, then her grandmother giving him a warning look to keep his eye only on road. " Did they both know what is in my mind...?" his face went pale and he got more than serious.

Eve tries to act normally, after all, she can't just walk into someone who is still unknown for her and let him know her well-kept top secret. His impression on her is better than others, She thinks of him as an intelligent and generous young man.

Evan gripped the steering wheel hard making his hands turn sweaty due to embarrassment. He never wanted to think anything like that about his boss, but how can he resist such a cute girl, after all, he is also a young handsome grown-up man.

"I should apologise to her grandmother, she must be furious with me. She's staring from time to time as if judging me for what I thought about her granddaughter. f**k! God, I don't know how to control my thoughts." He let out a long sigh when they finally reach their destination.

Evan carried their luggage in the elevator guiding them towards there apartment. He starts humming a song in his mind to calm his nerve and to prevent himself from thinking anything absurd.

"You come on like a dream, peaches and cream

Lips like strawberry wine

You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine......

God why in the time of need I am remembering and humming this song just for making things worse for me..." he was fully covered in sweat feeling embarrassed bowing her head down to hide his face from Eve.

Eve chuckled blushing lightly, getting the attention from Evan and Grams. For easing the tension in the elevator, She starts humming the same lyrics in a low melodious voice.

Evan can hear her and this time he was the one who turns red. " She again just highjack my thoughts."

Soon they entered the grand lavish apartment with four bedrooms, living room, kitchen and balcony, each room has a large glass window to give a proper view of New York City. Every room is painted in a light peach colour except Eve's room it was painted sky blue with one wall filled with trees, birds, flowers as wall art. Her room has a round bed same as her old house, a study table, couch, walk-in closet and sitting space near a window, all furniture in the combination of white, pink and blue.

She was pleased to see her lively room. other rooms are quite dull for her taste. She even has her painting frames and space in her room. For the first time, she was on cloud nine as still his uncle and aunt cared about her.

She was back in the kitchen to get some water. When she saw Evan approaching her grams. She reached near him on time to grasp his shoulder lightly to stop him speaking anything to Flora who was possible taking a nap in living room couch.

"No need for sorry, she doesn't know." Eve steps back when she realised that her hand is still on his shoulder.

Evan froze at the spot, gazing in her eyes glowing pink as if blushing by her touch. before he can embarrass himself more he said "Okay" and left with a grin on his pink face.

Eve thought that Evan looks cute whenever he feels shy, He has light skin stone which makes his cheeks look rosier then hers. He overall looks handsome with his dark brown hair and same coloured eyes, with the facial feature which gives him a more chocolaty look.

Eve crouched next to her grams watching her face closely when she was about to touch her cheeks, Flora opened her eyes with mischievous glint smirking towards her, Then Eve came to know that grams was just pretending to sleep So that she can keep an eye on both Eve and Evan.

"Someone get an Admirer as a welcome gift and look what a coincidence similar rhyming names Eve and Evan" Flora pouted teasing Eve. Making her more uncomfortable.
