Falling For Asher

●1

After 10 year..

I stepped into the hotel. I was so nervous but managed to keep a confidence face. People were looking at me as they were walking past me. Because of my dress.

I wore a very short dress. It was very tight. I was feeling uncomfortable after wearing this. My cleavage was very visible. These type of clothes a girl should not wear for blind date. That's what Google suggested to me and I did opposite of that.

I heard someone suddenly whistled at me. I turned to another direction and saw a blonde guy looking at me. He winked at me. I passed him a angry glare and showed him a middle finger. His eyes widened and he disappeared from there.

A lady approached me with a gentle smile. "Are you miss Sophia brownlee?" She asked. "Yes" I said. "Mr. Walker was at that corner table near window" she said. I looked there. A man was sitting there, and looking outside of window. I thanked that lady and I made my way towards him.

I reached his table. "Sorry, I'm late" I said as I stood infront of him. I shocked as I see his face. "I'm sorry, I think I approached the wrong person" I Said. "No, you approached the right person Sophia" it was so hard to believe that my blind date was my high school crush.

He had a smile on his face and he asked me to sit down. I sat across him. I was just shocked. I didn't ask to father who I was meeting today because I wasn't interest. I didn't know that it would be him.

We both were just looking at each other. The difference was I was looking at him in shocked way and he had annoying smile on his handsome face. "I'm surprised to see you here" I finally spoke. "Why? Didn't your father tell you about me."

"He was telling me but I wasn't interested to hear him" I muttered. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly" he said. "Nothing, I just thought that it would be someone else" he just nodded.

No matter who are my blind date, I should not forget about my mission. The mission was to ruin my blind date. "What do you want to order?" He asked. "Anything you want" I said.

"You changed a lot" he spoke suddenly. Of course I changed. I didn't look like a nerd anymore. But I was still a nerd. "Yeah, you too." I said. "How?" He raised his one eyebrow. You were cute before but now you look hot.

I shook my head because of the thoughts that was coming in my mind. "You look taller than before and muscular too." I said. He chuckled. "It means I look much better now" Yes.

I was not here to enjoy this date. Seriously, I should start my acting now. I planned everything before coming here, but now everything was messed up in my mind. I tried to remember things. Ask too many personal questions....Yesss! But what personal questions I could ask him.

I was biting my lower lip and thinking what to do. "Is everything okay? Are you sick or something?" He asked. "Yes I'm okay" i smile and drank a glass of water that was on table. I took a breath and asked "Do you have any girlfriend?" That's a personal question, isn't it? "If I had a girlfriend, I would not be here" He smiled. that was a dumb question. Stop smiling or I'll throw a brick at you. His confidence was making me nervous.

"Then what about your ex? I'm sure you loved her a lot" I asked. Let's remind him about his past love. "I never had a girlfriend before" WHAT??? I took a deep breath and asked "Why?" "I was so engaged with work so I didn't get time for that" Then how did he get time for blind date.

"So you weren't interested in dating but you are interested in marriage" I asked him. "Hmmm" he nodded. "What if after marriage you didn't get time for your wife?"

"No, after marriage my only priority would be my wife" I didn't know why i blushed after hearing this. He didn't know but right now he was messing with my brain. Do something else Sophia.

Talk about your ex now. Right. "But I have dated someone before" he put his hand under his chin. "That was your past, in present you are single. So I don't have any problem with that"

"I have dated 7 men before, all of them were jerk" I said trying to look sad. "Don't worry, that was just a past" I looked at him. He was looking so calm and positive. How could someone be so positive about this?

"Yeah, you are right. That was just a past" I said. "Tell Me about yourself. What are your hobbies?" He asked. "Huh" I was trying to figure out the right answer to say to him. "I like shopping and clubbing" What else I could say? "Ohh nice. You are so honest. I like that" unbelievable. You weren't supposed to like that. Everything was going to opposite direction.

Okay. Now it was last step. I didn't think I had to do this. But that was last thing I could do. He was sipping his coffee and his one hand was on table. I looked at his hand. I gulped. He was looking somewhere else. I took my opportunity to grab his hand that was on table.

As he felt the touch of my hand, he chocked on his coffee. But didn't pull his hand away. He put his cup on the table. "That was hot, I burnt my tongue" he said and stick out his tongue. I could notice by his facial expressions that he really burnt his tongue. But still he didn't pull his hand away. "Are you okay?" I asked. But he didn't reply. His cheeks and ears turned red. I thought for help him.

I stood up and went near him. I put my hands on his cheeks and made him look up at me. He looked up at me. Our face were so close. "Are trying to seduce me?" He whispered. "Huh?" "I think it's working" my eyes widened after hearing him. I took my step back. I thought he didn't like when girls touch him. I cleared my throat.

He stood up. "I think i should go home now." I said looking out of window. It's 9 pm already. "You are right, let's go" he said. We both went out of the hotel. Cold breeze hit my skin as I stepped out. It was so cold outside and I was wearing a very short dress. Asher's driver was already waiting for him outside. "Come, I'll drop you at your home" he said. I refused him. "No, I can go by a texi" "just come,You are already shivering because of cold"

"No I'm okay." I said. He nodded. Then I felt something warm on my shoulders. I looked at asher as he wrapped his coat on my shoulder. "Wear this, it'll keep you warm" he said looking at other direction. I could see he was feeling shy. "No, I don't need this. I'm really okay" "No, just keep this. You can return this to me later" he said and walked away.
i was standing there, trying to process what happened just now.
