You Crept Into My Heart [Rewritten Version Continuation]

[8] Hypnotic Eyes

A F I A  P A T E L

"Thanks for the ride, I asked my mother not to bother you but ma is ma. She does what she likes." I let out a small laugh as the car comes to a stop infront of Yasmeens house. After our mini concert, Yasmeen sent me a dozen of messages asking me to come over right now.

"Not a problem, I actually asked her to fetch you today." My cheeks immediately start turning pink and I start to fidget with the ends of my scarf. I look up to already see him looking at me. Once again I find those eyes captivating me and I loose myself in them. We stare at each other for a minute before I realise that I'm oogling the man and he probably thinks I'm a creep.

I step out of the car and I see him also opening the door. Confused, I step out of the car and walk to his side. He walks me to the front door, a sweet gesture that has me swooning for this man. We stop at the front of the door and we awkwardly stand there for a minute. Me looking at my shoes and him trying to avoid eye contact.

He clears his throat and I look up to see him scartching the back of his neck.

"Uhm, if it's okay with you, I'd like to pick you up everyday from university, that's if you have classes. I mean it's totally cool if you don't want me to pick you up or if you find this uncomfortable, which I hope you don't but I heard you don't go home with your father's car and I just thought I have extra time so why don't I fetch you, but I mean if you prefer we do this after we get married then I'm fine. Oh shit, I mean IF we happen to get married, not pressurizing you at all..." He trails of and I have to hold in my laugh at this point. His rambling is cute. He looks up and sees me barely keeping the laugh in and his cheeks heat up. He tries to look at anything other than me and finds the perfect thing, the flower pot in the corner of Yasmeens house.

"I'd love if you would pick me up from school. I just have to tell you my times." I tell him with a smile. He offers me one to and nods. Uncomfortably he makes his way down the driveway before he abruptly stops and jogs his way back to me.

"I didn't get your number." He says as he fishes his phone out of his pocket. Realisation dawns on me as I punch my number in his phone. "I'll send you a message once I reach home."

I nod and hand him back his phone, as he takes it his hand brushes mine and small electricity shocks makes it way up my hands. Our eyes connect and we stand there for a few minutes staring at each other. Me once again getting lost in his hypnotic eyes. I could look at those eyes all day.

A bang on the window makes us come out of our trance and we look towards the source of the sound. Only to find two familiar sets of eyes before they jump out of the way. The curtain moving back to its original place.

We say goodbye to each other before I make my way inside the house. I find the two culprits sitting on the couch. Yasmeen innocently flipping through the channels on her tv while Atiya sits with a bag of frozen peas over her head as she glares at her sister. The pea bag that's on her head indicating that she was the source of the loud bang that we heard on the window. Sigh, empty vessels make the most noise.

I feel something brush my leg and I look down to see that's it's Yasmeens cat, Professor McGonagall. I'm surprised she isn't by Atiya. I'll take the attention because I know I won't have it in the next few minutes. I bend down and grab the cat in my arms while I walk to the lounge. She purrs in my hand and rubs her head against my chest looking for some sort of affection from me.
