Her

32

Sebastian

She likes me.

She likes me.

Hell. She likes me.

Me?

I heard her right, right? It was not a dream right, right?

I don't know. I know nothing. But one thing for sure is that Adriana Knight likes me. This was the best thing I have ever heard in my life. Those three words from her mouth.

I like you.

Oh Fuckkkk!

I feel like I am flying.

But you don't have wings.

Without wings.

I can hear the chirping of birds.

Again you are in office. How can you hear birds here.

I don't know. But I just want to live in this moment. But you know what is the worst part. Ever since she saod those words to me, I haven't seen her. I tried to finish all the meetings and work and go to her house but it kept me captured. I just literally read and sign at least fifty files but it is still here.

You are to blame. Who told you to postpone all the meetings from last week so you go to see Adriana.

She is priority.

Off course she is. But look at you right now. Busy and all.

I sighed and looked at the file in my hands. Details about some construction site.

I miss her. I just want to go to her and see her smile. To smile at her and then I will be happy man. I just want this. Nothing else.

I blame it on work that I don't have time. But I never forget to call and message Adriana from time to time. And best part is sometimes she would message me first. It was like a reward from her.

It was my daily target to complete all this and went to her house. But she texted me two days ago that she is going on a bussiness trip in Scotland to extend her bussiness. I also wanted to go but again. Work.

Taking a deep breath I fished out my mobile and unlock the screen.

I checked the time in Scotland.

9.15pm.

I opened the messenger and tapped on Adriana's profile. Her profile picture was of night sky with some stars in it.

'Hey.' I send her and put phone on the desk.

I leaned back in my seat and dropped my head back. I look towards the ceiling and sighed.

She likes me. Does it mean we are dating? Or in relationship?

No. Maybe not in relationship because  she said she want some time. So no. No relationship. Even if it hurts no.

Ting.

I instantly reclined in my seat and quickly take phone in my hand.

Its Adriana.

'Hi'

Even I don't know when and how but I can feel a huge smile on my face.

'Where are you? Room?'

Seen.

'Yeah. Just reached.'

'Oh! Then you must be tired.'

'Yeah. so much.
Where are you?'

Smiling I started to type.

'Office.
Did you eat?'

'Ordered. Now I will eat and sleep.'

'Good. Sleep well.
Goodnight.'

'Bye.'

I fought the urge to smile and standing up I made my way outside.

------------------

I was drinking again. I promised myself that I will not drink because I don't want to look miserable in the eyes of Adriana.

Three bottles. Four bottles. I don't remember how much I drank. But enough to get drunk.

Now I realize without Adriana in my life I am a miserable man who doesn't have any purpose in life and he is alone. He has everyone yet noone. With Adriana he is everything. Without Adriana he is nothing. Nohing at all.

Just then I heard bell rang of my apartment.

Groaning I stood. Well I tried but I couldn't. I took stable steps towards the door and slowly opened it.

Yeah I am so drunk. So drunk that I am imagining things.

Adriana was standing there with a small smile on her face.

I furrowed my brows. She can't be real. She is in Scotland. I texted her like two hours ago. No, I am definitely hallucinating her.

I laughed.

"Adriana. What magic you have done to me? I am literally seeing you. You are in Scotland but how can I see you here?"

I see the red tint on her cheeks and ears. She is blushing. Oh my god! Now its sure that I am hallucinating.

"Sebastian?"

"Adriana. Look you are blushing." I laughed and grabbed her cheeks.

"I know you are not real. I am in deleusion."

She grabbed my hand which was on her cheek and softly caressed it.

"I am real."

I was confused. I pouted a little as my eyes narrowed a bit.

"But you went to business trip?"

She laughed and believe me it was so beautiful.

"You are beautiful Adriana."

"You are drunk Sebastian."

"Doesn't matter. It is the truth anyway. "

"What truth? "

"That you are beautiful. Your smile is beautiful. Your laugh is beautiful. Hell everything about is you is beautiful and perfect. God! I missed you."

She just looked at me with a blush on her face. She gulped and I didn't even let her speak. I kissed her. Her hands were on my hands that were on her cheeks. I tightened my hold around her body and kissed her pulling her towards me as much as possible.

I pulled back and looked in her eyes.

"I love you Adriana. I love you so much."

I smiled and closing my eyes I rested my head on her shoulder.
