Over again

Chapter VII

Zain came early to the office and his partner was already there. To his surprise. He greeted her and walked in. He noticed the change in the office. Blinds raised, lots of light in room and white orchid. It looked really nice. Zain looked at the Aaliya.
She was lost in her work so she didn't notice that Zain was watching her. Long brown hair was in a taill. Long earrings, the ring on the forefinger at right hand, face without make up. She was beautiful.
"Why are you looking at me?"-she asked.
He was surprised by question because he didn't notice that she looked up even once. So, how does she know that he is looking at her?
"Now you're probably wondering how I know you're watching me?"-she looked up from the laptop screen and looked at him. "Didn't I already said that I observe very well? Have you ever heard of a sixth sense? Well, I've got it. And I see that you like orchids."
"Hm. I see. But why did you bring it here without asking me?"
"I can take it away as I brought it here. Just say. You can talk to me. Just need to know how. Does it bother you?"
"No. In fact, it brings life here. This change is good for office and me also."
"So you like this change?"
"Just please don't change anything else."
"Ok. I won't change anything else."-she laughed and went back to work. Again she wandered into her small world. Zain no longer watched her. He was afraid that she will again notice it and make him feel uncomfortable. It was a nice feeling to finally talk with a normal person.
After work, at exit, Ali stopped her:
"Hi Aaliya. Where are you going?"
"Oh, hi Ali. I'm going home. I need to rest."
"Oh no. You are not going home. You know, we have a custom here. After work we all go for a drink in a nearby bar."
"It's really nice, but thanks. I don't drink. So I must say no."
"Why Aaliya?"-she heard Zain's voice.
She turned to him and smiled:
"Simply because I don't drink. And anyway, I have plans for tonight. So thank you for the invitation."
She turned and headed toward exit.
"Aaliya wait."-Zain stopped her.
"Yes?"
"I have to show you the city. What do you think to go and show you around on Saturday or Sunday?"
"OK. I'm ok with it. Just let me know when."
"Then Saturday?"
"Perfect. See you then."
"I'll be there to pick you up on Saturday at nine am. Is that ok?"
"Sure. We'll talk about the details."-she said and left.
He looked at her and smirked. After long time he smiled because of the girl.
