Stealing You

Episode 8

Jaz's Point Of View,

"Do you know football is my favourite game", she said to me with a big smile on her face and I just looked at her with a wide smile.

"Oh really, I mean wow, I did not know that", I said to her and she just laughed a little.

"How would you know that obviously if I am telling you that just now", she said to me and I also laughed at my words, she was right, how would I know that I am so stupid or maybe nervous, gosh, what is wrong with me.

"Of course, you are right, I am sorry, I just", I was saying as now I just got so upset.

"Hey hey, relax, just relax, I am just kidding okay, you do not need to be serious, okay", she said to me as she just held my hand and I just looked into her eyes as she was smiling at me, and her smile was just so breathtaking, and I just want to pull and kiss her hard but I am just trying to control my emotions coz I do not think she will like that.

"Okay, so now you tell me something about you and your family", I asked her and she somehow dropped her smile and looked at me.

"Amm my mom and dad live in town, so I am living alone here in a hostel", she said to me and then forced a smile on me.

"Oh, amm why do they live in town, I mean they could come here and live with you", I asked her and she just smiled at me, she was looking upset a little, she was holding her hand and slowly she was rubbing my thumb.

"Yeah, I just wish they could, but my mom and dad both are doing a job there, we all are doing jobs so that we could survive a better life", she said to me and I just nodded my head.

"That is really great you know, you are amazing that you are doing that, I mean you know I am still trying to get a job so that I can also help my family, but you know it is just so hard for me to do that, I am barely getting money for my expenses, so that is a little shameful for me", I said to her and this time she just came close to me.

"Hey come on, you just do not need to take that much stress, relax, you are trying your best and that is the best thing about you, so just relax and go with the flow, everything will go just the way you want, maybe not now but someday for sure", she said to me and her words just made me smile, she is right, I just know that I am not working well now but one day when I will get select for the international football team, I am sure that my mom and dad would be so happy and they will proud of me.

"Thank you so much, Ela, thank you so much for this, I really needed someone who can understand me and make me understand all this, I was so stressed you know", I said to her and she just cupped my face.

"I know, I can understand that but now all you should do is focus on your match", she said and I just nodded my head, she is so understanding and mature, there was no one in my life who make me understand things like this, somehow I am feeling so blessed to have her.

"Thank you so much, Ela, I am feeling so good now", I said to her and she just came close to me and placed a soft kiss on my cheeks again, and that kiss made me so happy, I just looked at her with a shy face coz I am just feeling so damn good.

"Now stoping getting shy like that and finish your ice cream coz it is melting", she said to me and I just nodded my head and we both finished our ice cream.

"So now is there anything I can do for you", I asked her and she just started thinking.

"How about we go for a long drive, only if you want too", she asked me and my heart just started beating so fast, gosh, she is really in me or I am just thinking too much.

"That would be awesome, I am so happy, I mean I would be so happy to go with you", I said to her and she just smiled at me, she was about to open her mouth but my phone started ringing and I just pulled my phone out from my pocket.

"Wait, mom is calling, I just need to talk to her", I said and excused myself from her and she just nodded her head.

"Yeah sure", she said and I just walked away from her.

"Hello mom, how are you", I asked her as I picked the call.

"Jaz where are you son, you did not come home since morning and you would be hungry and I was worried for you baby", said mom and I just closed my eyes, I am so stupid, I should have informed her that I am busy.

"Oh yes mom, I am sorry that I could not inform you, I was so busy at my practice as you know that I have a match soon, and that match is so important for me, so I was doing my practice the whole day, so I could not inform you", I said to her and she just took a deep breath.

"Oh I know honey, but I would be glad if you will inform me next time", she said and I just nodded my head.

"Of course mom, surely I will", I said and she just chuckled a little.

"So now, when you are coming back home", she asked me and I just took a deep breath.

"I will be a little late mom, I am going out with my friends, so do not worry about me", I said to her.

"Oh so what about dinner, you would be hungry", she asked me again.

"No I am not hungry mom, I eat something out, so just relax", I said to her.

"Okay so take care and come home on time, okay", she said and I just hummed and hang up, I can understand that she stays worried about me and I just took a deep breath coz I am just thinking that I am not a good son maybe, I should also take care of her the way she does,

"Hey are you okay", I heard Ela's voice and I just turned my face and looked at her.

"Yeah, I am fine, my mom was just worried for me coz I did not eat anything as I was here since morning", I said to her, and she just nodded her head.

"That is nice, your mom cares about you so much", she said to me and I just smiled and nodded my head.

"Yeah, she does and I just feel that I am not a good song, I should also take care of her but I do not do anything like that", I said to her and she just tapped my shoulder.

"It is okay, just relax okay, I can understand that you are feeling this way but trust me, it is not your fault, with passing days you will learn everything, life is a process and you will get used to it soon, so till then just relax and go with the flow", she said to me and I was just looking at her with wide eyes, how come she is so mature and understanding, how does she knows me so well, how come she is having an explanation for everything that made me so confused.

"Ela, are you sure that you are not a therapist", I asked her and she just looked at me with confused eyes.

"What, no, I am not but why", she asked me and I just laughed a little.

"The way you are saying things to me and the way you are making me feel, I am just feeling that I am talking to any therapist who is understanding me so well", I said to her and she just started blushing so hard.

"And the way you blush, I just want to kiss you, so may I", I asked her and she just looked at me with wide eyes, I just then realize that I what the f**k I just said, s**t, I am so stupid and I just do not know how to undo what I just did, she is shocked after hearing my words and that is what I can see.

"Amm hey, I did not mean that I was just got so excited so can you please forget what I said", I asked her and she just started laughing so hard at me and I was just looking at her with a confused face.

"Just look at your scared face, that is so cute", she said and laughed again, gosh, she terrified me for a second, thank god she took it so lightly or else I just thought I am gonna die today.
