AFTER HOURS ✔

I raise my head only to find

Oh Noooooo

Not him again, my frowns increase as I scurry my eyebrows and a disturbing expression makes its way on my face.

Why do I have to bump him? Out of all people.

And he's in this university ? Probably he got transferred here , I answered my own question.

Common sense Loren, my inner voice calls out me and does me dirty. Duh! not like it has never happened before.

I strode out before one of us would start a conversation.

" Hey hey hey " I heard him follow behind me.

Do I stop or do I go?

Wait,Why did my thoughts even fluctuate in the first place?

I clicked my tongue as my feet decided to stop.

" What happened to the existence of sorry in the world ?" he asked coming and standing in front of me, smirking raising one of his eyebrows cockily reading my facial expressions taking a little longer than few seconds to notice me.

I looked above , into his eyes.

This is the first time we've been this close , no he held you closer this morning my subconscious reminds. I could count his eyelashes from here, my throat went dry as I begin to observe his facial features.

God really took his time to create this man.

That too very extravagantly ravishing.

He had these reddish plump lips, highlighting his facial features  along with the rest .

His eyes were of rare ocean blue colour with a hint of green, his flares were so beautifully detailed with the sunlight falling on them.His cologne hit my nose , it was like beach and it was refreshing

Wow.

This man had the audacity to look this good in this planet ,he is not doing any justice to other male species .

I realised I was staring at him a little longer.

" Sorry " I mumbled and started to walk only to be stopped by a grip on my wrist.

Dude what do you even want?

I hissed and he seemed to notice that he held the hand which he previously twisted and let go of my hand.

" I am sorry " he apologized genuinely ,his voice dropped low as he said those words, pointing towards the bruise on my hand he caused earlier today.

You should be.

I acknowledged his apology by giving a curt nod and a small smile .

" I have a party at my home tonight and since it's established that we are neighbours why don't you join?" he asked hopefully.

" I have some work to do " I lied.

" Booo such a party pooper, but if you change your mind. You are invited " he said and I nodded.

I walked towards my car,  driving to my parents home.

It's been too many days since I last saw them .

I ring the doorbell of the huge white mansion. The gigantic mahogany door opened revealing my mother whose hairs were perfectly plaited and left onto one side.

She smiled walking to me hugging me , no surprise that my father was not there like always he is too occupied with his work.

" My little angel " she squealed and I let out a laugh.

Mom and her nicknames would never change even when I have grown older , not that I am complaining.

" I missed you mom", I said truthfully embracing the hug, closing my eyes .

And we walked to the living room sitting on the couch beside each other.

" Guess what?" I asked her so excited to share her the news that I've received earlier today.

" What? " she questioned me.

" You got a boyfriend? " she asked astounded, opening her mouth . This mom and her sense of humor would never change.

As if.

" Mmmmm" I rolled my eyes at her like at this point she should about her daughter.

She let out a laugh, playfully slapping me on my arm.

We know that would never happen .

Am I even lying?

" I am going to be hosting with Sevaceee company this fall ", I said while watched her eyes widen and her smile grow.

" I'm proud of you Loren, you deserve it", she said giving a slight squeeze on my shoulder.

Mom has been supportive of me ever since I was a little kid . She is supercool and that she is amazing and has always celebrated my success.

" Stay here for dinner" she announced and I had nothing to do either, I agreed.

Since my mother liked to cook for me by herself today she let the housemaids leave early.

We entered the kitchen as my mom splattered the cupboards finding the vessels and ingredients placing it on the counter to prepare food , I walked to the refrigerator grabbing a chocolate chip Ice cream box for myself  sitting on the counter.

I savour the ice cream and could not help but fall in love with the first bite like I always do.

I watch her as she cooks so gracefully , her actions really showed that she really loved what she was doing and that's what , lured me to watch it continuously.
