Our Designed Love

CHAPTER-3

SHYLA

Passing through the busy streets of New York, our feet moving fast in a synchronised manner to our personal favourite place in NYC- Frisson Expresso. This place has been an absolute pleasure for my "simp for coffee" personality for a good time of 2 years ever since I moved to New York.

"We have 20 minutes more in our hands to sip our coffees and to go back to the campus to attend the classes" said Ave while panting and fastening her pace.

"WE CAN DO IT BITCHES" screamed Linda out of nowhere earning weird looks by the people walking around us. "You never let down a chance to embarrass us Linda" I said while laughing awkwardly by side eyeing the people who were walking past us.

Ave laughed hard and hit Linda's arm in a playful manner. "Well that's my top most duty" said a proud Linda while laughing at my unimpressed expression.

After a good 15 mins of walk we finally reached our sweetheart destination which, by god's grace was not crowded.

We sat and ordered ourselves the coffees. Sipping down the cold coffees, satisfaction with relaxation consumed our body. After a walk of almost 15 mins in the Sun outside, a cold coffee feels like a saviour who just saved us from dying out of tiredness. Gulping down the urge to gossip and have a conversation about various topics which were left unfinished in the dorm, the three of us remained silent and finished our coffees hurriedly in order to reach the campus before the classes begin.

I rushed to the counter to pay the bill for the coffees as it was my turn for the treat today. Calculating the total bill and making sure that I have that much amount available in my purse right now I didn't realise when I bumped into a hard muscular figure who I guess was coming out of the counter section.

Looking up at him, all I could see was the gorgeous feature of his face and a sharp pointed jawline with his cold expression less eyes staring straight into my soul. The butterflies were already dancing in my stomach when I felt his big hands perfectly wrapped around my waist. His features were so attractive that I could have stayed there and watched him forever until I realised that the position in which we were standing right now can make the people around us think that we are a couple having romance in the middle of a cafe.

This is the day I realised that someone can give me a freaking Oscar to put on a straight face with no expression even after seeing the most beautiful figure who was standing in front of me with my hands perfectly wrapped around her waist which felt like it was made for only me to hold. She released herself from my grip.

"Oh my goodness! Are you okay?" Her soft voice asked me with a face holding a bit of concern like she is double my weight who just crushed me by stumbling upon me. "It's okay" I said and left the place when I saw Ryan through the glass door already waiting for me with his ugliest ever mischievous smirk which I hated the most. This man has an excellent talent to assume things out of a situation and I guess I already know about the false assumption he would have made by now after seeing the bumping incident that happened some seconds ago. "Stop the functioning of your delusional mind Baldwin!" I said while walking out of the place.

"It's okay" - the two words which reached down to my freaking feet when he said it with his deep voice. Probably the most attractive voice I have ever heard in my whole life. But being a total jerk he left without even asking out of courtesy if I am okay after my face literally bumped into his hard muscular chest so hard.
"No wonder attractive men are a total jerk sometimes" I replied underneath my breath.

"How was the jerk's perfume?" a feminine voice whispered into my ear.
