He said, the moon goddess paired us

Chapter 13

Mishka's POV

Freak! How does he know that I am behind the door? I can be sleeping now. Maybe he is bluffing, I will just pretend that I am not here and then maybe he will leave. I watched him through the peephole and waited for him to leave. My heart was racing with panic. Long breath... Inhale... exhale...

"Mishka... please open, I know you are inside, awake and watching a movie. It's important."

Double shit! He was not bluffing. What do I do? I look at the mirror in the hallway, well, I am a disappointment. If he liked me before, seeing me now would change his mind. My face was red in a very ugly way, my hair looked like birds' nest and I was in my comfy PJs.

"Mishka... please open the door... for me, please"

Hey! that is NOT fair! Taking a deep breath, I decided to speak to him so I called him.

"Hi, Sorry I will sound rude but what do you want? It is late. Why are you here?"

"I want nothing. I heard you cry from the past 4/5 hours so I decided to check on you."

That silenced me. I was not that loud, was I? "Oh sorry, I was watching movie. I did not realize that I was so loud. I will reduce the volume"

"You did not disturb me at all. Will you open the door?"

"Ah... I am so sorry again but no. It is so late. It will be weird." I replied and he sighed

"Will you go to sleep then? If you are sad and want to talk then we can speak on phone"

"No, I am okay. Thank you and good night and sorry"

"It is okay. I understand. Good night. Call me if you need anything."

"Sure" but I knew I was not calling a man who fucking kissed me and then avoided me in the middle of the night. I tried to sleep all night but I just could not. When it was morning and I started hearing people around me, I drifted to sleep.

I went for my classes but I was in zombie mode due to lack of sleep. Post lunch I returned back as I had a headache due to the crying and sleepless night. I was sleeping when the doorbell rang. I decided to ignore it but it kept ringing. So, half asleep, I opened the door ready to unleash my wrath on the person who pissed a sick me.

"Hi. Were you sleeping now? Are you sick?" Alexander asked.

"Hi. No, I am okay. How did you know I was home? Sorry about yesterday. How can I help you?" I smiled at him. I wanted to return to my sleep. I also wanted to stay there and speak to him. Truthfully, I was conflicted once again.

"I got you lilies. I wanted to apologize for yesterday".

"It is okay" I smiled. That lilies reminded that he was playing both me and Diti at the same time. What did he think of himself? "Thanks for the lilies, is there anything else?" I did not invite him inside purposefully.

He examined me a little and I gave him my blank face, maybe with a twisted expression due to my headache. Then he spoke, "Is everything alright?"

"Of course. Why do you ask?"

"You were crying yesterday. You seem on edge today. Are you okay?"

"I am FINE. I told you that I was watching some sad movies so I cried"

He sighed and shaked his head. He looked at me for a while as if calculating his next words, and then asked "Are you mad at me?"

"NO... Why would I be mad at you? We are not that close to be mad at each other". He looked hurt at my outburst but he recovered quickly.
