My heart raced, and I felt frozen, utterly disbelieving. What on earth was he saying?
"Okay, okay, calm down. I know it's pretty straightforward, but I just had to speak my mind. I really like you, and I promise I'll take care of you so well. I have my own company, and I earn a minimum of seven digits every month. So, you might be wondering why I'm driving? Truth is, driving and delivery have become trendy, and I wanted to experience this life as well. Just for fun, you know? And, most importantly, I do it part-time on Fridays and Saturdays," Ehsan explained in a single breath.
I was speechless, unsure of how to respond. I'm usually a bit shy, and this confession caught me off guard. Hmm, okay... but I'm not interested, bro. I usually don't sit up front with people unless I'm comfortable with them. I think I'll move to the back. Could you please stop the car?" I said, looking straight ahead."
Okay, okay, chill. I'm so sorry, I just couldn't control my feelings. My fault! And please, don't call me bro. You don't have to move to the back," Ehsan said, lowering his gaze.
His sincerity touched me deeply. It was strange to develop feelings for a stranger so quickly, but it felt undeniable, unexplainable.
Throughout the rest of the journey, I maintained a straight face, lost in my thoughts. Ehsan drove quietly, not saying another word.
Upon reaching home, I waited to see the fare. It was 30 dollars, and I handed the money to him. He refused to take it, but I insisted. I couldn't understand why he was refusing payment; after all, he had driven us and deserved compensation.
Reluctantly, he accepted the money and then made an unexpected request: "Could you please check your Instagram DM?"Feeling sleepy, I obliged.
There, in my DMs, was a message from Ehsan. "Yeah, that's me. I would be so glad if you could accept my request," he wrote, his eyes clouded with emotion. Switching off my phone, I stepped out of the car without replying. I felt a pang of guilt for not responding, but I didn't want to lead him on.
