By the time I reach the airport I couldn't find him. I thought I lost him or his plane got hijacked or something, I couldn't think straight. My heart was beating faster each time I hear a passenger's suitcase make that scratching noise while they drag it.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Ashwin. He answered immediately. "Where are you? I've been calling you for an hour now. Just tell me you're with Akash now."

"Well... I'm at the airport. I couldn't find him. You gave him my number or what?" He starts to say something but I interrupted him. "I didn't get any calls from him. Tell him to call me or find me. I'm waiting outside near taxi no. 0001A. Okay?" I said hung up the call and went to the taxi.

I was leaning against the taxi and watching people walking out with their giant luggage, and happiness in their face that they're home and excitement in foreigners face that there are in the city that never sleeps.

And something caught my eye, "DAMN" I hiccup. He was tall like really tall, his chest is so puffed, bulk arms and muscled thighs, wearing a light fade blue jean with the crispy white shirt. He looks awfully hot like an angel from heaven.

I felt nervous after seeing that all beauty in one guy so as a distraction to myself I started scrolling the feed. But it only makes things worse. After tucking it into my pocket I turned around as crossed my arms against my chest and faced the taxi just to avoid him.

"Arya?" I heard someone calling my name.

"Yes?" I turned around gasped. I wasn't at all expecting this. I cursed god kidding me. "Are you Akash?" The same guy, that angel. God kill me now. I can't or don't know how to talk to a hot guy.

"Yeah, it's me. And hey thank you for_ welcoming me," he said, a little bit of embarrassment as if he'd never said thanks to anyone before.

Of all people, why him? The one I wanted to be distracted from. I was expecting an uggo but he was hot as hell.

"It's my pleasure. Welcome to New York City." I said with an awkward voice, not quite meeting his eyes.

"Sure. I told Ashwin that I don't wanna disturb you but he didn't hear me as you can tell." He looked at the taxi then at me. "Sorry for bothering you."

"No, it's okay. It's good to help each other when we are in a different country, right? Just feel free to ask me anything." I told him.

Then our taxi driver loses his patients and starts to horn. And with that, I gave him an awkward smile and tried to help him with his luggage and he wasn't letting me help him as if this was his gesture and he doesn't want to bother me any more than this.

He sat beside me behind the driver's seat.

I asked him that where he wants to go like which hostel he's going to stay. But he didn't respond to any of those things.

"Have you had dinner?" I asked when I heard a growling sound from his stomach. "I'm gonna take that as no. I know an Indian restaurant nearby_"

"I just got from India, I wanna try something new, you know?"

"That's cool. I know where to go." I winked at him just a friendly one but he averted his eyes as if he wasn't expecting that from me.

What did I do wrong? Just a friendly wink that I share with... my baby cousin Adithya. Then something from my brain pops up and says, "Yes because he's your baby cousin and he isn't."
