A Better Me

" Asking Out "

" You !? "
" Ms.Fox , get up " He said as he gave me his hand to get up .

" Mr.Stewart , i am sorry for stumbling upon you "

" No no , Ms.Fox , it's not your fault , i didn't notice you coming "

I adjusted myself , i was a bit embarrassed , out of all people on the Earth , i had to stumble upon him .
I could feel the heat on my cheeks , he was standing there in a white shirt , rolled up sleeves and a loosened black tie .

" I should make up to you "

" No , it's alright , Mr.Stewart "

" You can call me Lincoln , Mr.Stewart sounds too formal "
He said with a gentle smile ,

" Lincoln ... "

* From Lincoln's POV *

The way she said my name , as if she was tasting each and every letter , gave me hundreds of butterflies in my stomach .
Who would have thought i would meet her today only , at a Café ?
It's all fate , the fate gave me an opportunity to ask her out , i won't miss that .

" Lincoln , you can call me Chelsey ! "

" Ms.Fox - I mean , Chelsey , would you mind if ask for something ? "

" No tell , i don't mind "

" Well , i want to make up to you , can you spare few hours of yours for me ? " It took a lot of guts for me to ask her out .

" Are you asking me out ? "

" Yeah kinda , tonight ? "

" Umm .. i don't know if i can manage ? "

" Okayy .. " i sighed out , feeling disappointed a bit .
" Okay , Ms.Fox , i gotta go , Sorry again "

* Back at Chelsey's POV *

I was surprised when he asked me out . I was not sure about it , as much as i wanted to spend time with him , there was something holding me back . I never did these things , i never went out with a boy , i only did night stands , getting high and dumping the boy in the morning . I was kinda scared too , my mind was saying a big No , but i decided to hear my heart for once .. what could possibly go wrong ? Nothing that i can't handle .
I saw his face when i said that i won't be able to manage , the disappointment in his eyes , how much he wanted to take me out .
He turned and walked away , i was still standing there , unsure of the decision i took , i saw him going far and far , but then he stopped and waved at me , and that's when i decided -

" Heyyy Lincoln !! Wait !!!!! "
I ran towards him . He stood there , a bit confused .

" Lincoln , let's go out tonight !! " I said while panting .
He chuckled .

" Why are you laughing ? "

" Looking at you , out of your breath " he laughed , not gonna lie , his laugh was so beautiful , the way his eyes lit up , he looked so gorgeous .

" Hey !! You bad !! Stop laughing otherwise I  - "

" What you will ? " He was still laughing , " okay fine , I'll stop .. i am soooo happy Chelsey that you gave me a chance to take you out "

" Only because you were walking blindly and you had to make up " i said with a sassy tone , as i walked away , with him following me .

" Oh Ms.Sassy , i see "

" Yahh !! Stop joking around !! "

" How can I be joking when you aren't even laughing ? "

" I don't laugh "

" Why ? Bad breath ? " He again started laughing , teasing me .

" Another time if you open your mouth , i'll kill you "

" okay fine , I'll stop "

I glared at him , as i put on my helmet and got on the bike ,

" Can't i get a ride ? " He started teasing me again , i can see him holding his laughter at that much extent that his face was turning red .

" Book a cab " i said , as i rode away .
