HE WAS BOWLED OVER BY HER.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

PREETI 'S POV

A stylish black sports car stopped near me. It was beautiful and elegant. The jet black metal shone in the moonlight. it looked like a car come out directly from a fast and furious movie. I stood there with my mouth hung open gazing in awe at the beauty that stood before me. I think it's a Ferrari, I could see the logo.

The driver honked and got me out of my daze , the driver lowered the window and it was him smiling at me.

 Hey,” he said looking me in my eyes.
 
The moment I looked up and saw his face, I was really furious and very annoyed with him, he ruined my entire damn evening and said shit to me and now he is saying, hi so casually as if we were some long lost friend who accidentally bumped at each other.

What a sick person he his! First mock then show off your expensive sports car. I'm sure now he is going to spew some demeaning shit my way. But this time I wont allow him.in any way to have his ways with me. He is going to get back exactly the same he will spew out from his shithole.
 
“What”, I blew up at him and started walking fast moving further away from him.  its better I walk off  from him or else I might end up at a really bad verbal encounter with him. i don't even wait for his  answer and,neither wanting to hear what he wants to say, cause I knew, if he opens his mouth he will just say shit, similar to the last encounter we had just hours before.
 
“Wait….wait….please listen to me.” He said screaming behind. He was following me in his car. His tone was very pleading and humble not the rude way he  had spoken to me.

I think he is a psychopath who is suffering from split personality. First he calls me an attention seeking gold digger and now he is pleading with me to listen to him. I quickly opened my back pack and removed the paper spray I alway carry with me. A type of self defence from loafers.  He maybe whatever but now he is definitely not right with his mind and I might need protection.
 
 
He again bought his car but this time right in front of me blocking my way. “Please just listen to me, I’m so sorry for what I said. come on just listen to me, now I  am apologizing also” he screamed from inside in desperation.

why is he acting so weird all of  a sudden. Dude his antics are kind of creeping me out. I need to get rid of him soon.

 
“you know what, you just go around judging people and saying shit, then apologizing and pulling up stunts like this, just leave my way or I will spray this in your eyes.” I said raising my paper spray to warn him.
 
“hey, chill, I know I have hurt you and I’m sorry,  I shouldn’t have said what I have said. Please give me a chance to explain.” He said with sincerity laced in his voice. I stood there for some time thinking should I believe him or not. The moment I looked up in his eyes, i  could see the sincerity in them and decided to just give him a chance and atleast listen to what he has to.say.  He wasn’t lying,  I could feel it somewhat in my heart.

"Speak whatever you want to say, i am all ears to you, you just have five minutesand your time gas already started." I said looking at my wrist watch and  folding my hands on my chest and waited for him to continue.

“Get in the car then we can talk.  I will  also drop you and we can talk on the way, I don’t want someone following us please. you know some fucking reporter I'm talking about.” He said desperately with urgency in his voice and he opened his car door for me to get in.
 
I don’t know why but I knew, he is not that bad and I entered his car. I guess he is right of someone is following he would snap us together and god knows what mess would he write. i dont want to be the talk of the town, I already have a lot in my bucket. I dont wish to add a new mess to it.

I sighed deeply and sat in his car.
 
He smiled seeing me comply with his wish. wow so he can smile also!He had an adorable  contagious smile.
 
His car was huge, it smelled like leather , the seats were big and comfortable and were spacious. it screamed richness!. He then came near me, and pulled the door closed from behind me, in my admiration of his car I forgot to close the door.

wow seems,my quota of embarrassment has started!
 
He was too close to me, he had a sweet musky smell with a hint of manly odour. His close proximity made my inside feel something weird, something different,  different in a good sense. He handed me the seat belt and said, “Wear it, there is tight security on the road.  And don’t forget to put the mask.”

"ok" I replied timidly

I  was  feeling too conscious about myself in his car.  I just felt I'm a misfit in his luxurious car. someone who doesn't belong in it.
 
“No hanky panky, you know I have paper spray with me mr cricketer" I warned him, holding the paper spray for him to know I am very much serious. I need to put up a strong face in front of him. after all he is also a stranger.

"You should have thought about this before sitting on his car alone. what of he is a psychic and kills random girls, just like the one in the novel, mysterious romeo."my inner voice was freaking my already scared soul. wow just wow!
 
“oh I’m feeling scared.” He shaked his hand laughing.
 
“I’m not a psychopath by the way miss crazy” He added.
 
His words did kind of comfort me but still I wanted to be on guard. by the way did he just call me miss crazy.  He was silently driving the car giving me some space to feel comfortable.

After sometime,  I looked up at him, ge was busy driving his gaze fixed in the road he looked carefree and happy, it made him look much younger and handsome where as His grumpy side is just too unbearable .

what’s wrong with you Preeti, my conscience cautioned me. Exactly what’s wrong with me. Why am I checking him out.
