A Wizard Next Door

Chapter 14 : Mortified

I opened my wardrobe to search for some proper attire but to my great disappointment there's not even a single dress that suits for a dating mood. After digging for about 20 minutes I finally found a sea green frock with pearls and gems on it. This was the one and only dress I had that wasn't shabby at all.

I ironed it a bit and went to my parent's room to get my mum's make-up. To be honest my mother had more fashion sense than me and she knew what's good for a face and what not.

The clock was striking past 10 and I started my make over. I was done with my facials and applied all those mascara, compact and half of their names is still mysterious to me but I did put everything on my face in a hope to look good.

I'm sure he'll drop his jaw watching me today.

A while later I wore the dress and I realised its too short and almost looked like a mini skirt. Even though it was uncomfortable for some reason but I decided to continue and messaged him.

Ray - I'm ready. Meet you in 5 minutes.

Jaz - I have already reached downstairs. Come fast.

Oh boy, you are already desperate to see me.

In my own happy thoughts I hurried down to see his reaction. As expected, he did open his mouth and I could see his eyes bulging out.

"What's wrong with your face? Are we going for any party? And what is this dress? It's looking so exposed and bright. Get inside and wear something hideous. I don't want people to notice us. And please remove that artworks from your face first."

This much insult in one day. He literally crushed my expectations.

"This--- I--- well, I'll go get changed" I made some angry faces in a hope he would notice but he didn't.

I went back, pulled my jeans and a top, washed my face and got down.

So stupid of me to think that he asked me out. Did he really kiss me yesterday? Or is it all in my head? All my hardwork went in vain.

"Better. Now you looking like a normal human. Follow me." he said with a wry smile.

How badly I wish to twist your neck bloody wizard. I'll get my revenge on you. Soon. Huh!!!

With not much taking we kept walking for about quite a while now and Jasper was taking all the weird routes that I haven't seen in my entire life.

"Where are you taking me? Can't you atleast explain about the place we are going?" I said still in angry tone.

"Are you mad on me for making you change your dress? Come on, atleast use that brain once in your lifetime. I'm not planning to have any kind attraction here." He said taking another turn down the lane.

"Attraction??? What can I do if people stare at girls with nice dress and make-up? You are unbelievable. That's why you should say me about the location beforehand. I thought.... I thought we are going out for some coffee shop." I still have no idea what I was saying.

"I was talking about us. I don't want any unwanted attraction between us. Atleast not for now." Jasper stopped walking.

Did he just flirt with me? If he's flirting then why CAN'T I FEEL LIKE HE'S FLIRTING??????????

"Take your mind out of the rubbish thoughts and look here. We have reached our place."

I looked at his direction to see a old library kind of building, small and worn-out. It looked more like a place for dumping books rather than reading one.

"Is this the place you wanted to take me?" I asked running my eyes in and out.

"Haha! Aren't you excited to see what's inside? It's more just than a dusty library. What if you witness some sorcery?" He winked.

Sorcery? Witchcraft? Like the real ones? Oh damn!!!!
