Roses and Flame

Chapter 17

I was rushing to get there in time. I didn't care about the cars honking at me nor people shouting at me about crossing the street at the wrong place. I just wanted to make it on time there, to see her. I wasn't sure if she was mad nor will she even be there. I didn't get any messages from her today but I was hoping for the best. I knew I had to try, to explain at the least. Face to face was better than leaving messages in her voice mail, but what if she was so offended about whatever Tyler said to her and she won't be there? Shit! What if that silence from her was her way of ending anything between us and I'll never see her...

But she was there. Already sitting on that bench I saw her last time. She wasn't wearing a dress but still looked as amazing as I remembered. This time she was wearing blue skinny jeans with a white t-shirt and Vans. I don't think she would look bad no matter what she was wearing or even nothing at all for that matter... She was people-watching but looking the other way so she didn't see me coming her way. I didn't want to freak her out so I cleared my throat when I came closer so I'd get her attention before speaking.

"Hi!" was all I could say when she looked at me. At first, she looked a bit scared but when she recognised me she begin to smile.

"Hi!" she said and then checking what I was wearing. I realised that I was wearing my grey suit with a white button-down with a red tie this time because I just came from the office and didn't have time to change.

"You look formal-" "You look beautiful-" we both tried to compliment each other at the same time. That made her laugh and I laughed as well. Her laugh sounded amazing too.

"Well, I don't know what are we going to do," she said, "but, looking at you, I do feel underdressed."

"I, well I just came straight from the office and didn't have time to change," I said to her, "but you do look amazing!"

"Stop it," she said, "look at me." Saying that she did full 360 showing me her look.

Oh dear actual god, that ass in those jeans... And those breast with her low v-neck just begged to be seen in all their glory. She most definitely looked good in her birthday suit...

"Okay, you have a funny look on your face," she said, bringing me out of my sexual fantasies, "is something wrong with my look?"

Did she really just asked me that? There was absolutely nothing wrong with her look.

"No, there's nothing wrong," I said, "if you try to find someone with a fault it's me."

She smiled at me. I didn't realise that she has dimples on both sides of her face. She was perfect.

"Can I begin to explain myself?" I asked her, "I have a whole speech ready-"

"It's okay," she simply said.

"Wait, you're not mad at me?" I asked knowing she could hear disbelieve in my voice.

"Yeah, I listened to all your voice messages and I'm not mad. You explained why it happened what happened, so why not talk about something else? Like for example what are we going to do today?" she said with a calm voice and a smile on her face.
