MY SWEET ALYNE

CHAPTER 10

ALYNE

"hey alyne, are you free tonight?" Dylan asked me.

"umm...yeah I am? What do you need from me?" I asked him not looking at him.

"I need you." I could hear the smirk. Seriously he is so into this flirting thing.

Dylan is my colleague. We are working on same projects and on same positions, interns. Internships are indeed hard and with this mental state I am in it is proving to be more. Before my internship started I was quite determined to get a PPO. I wanted to get a job here and be with.... Sam.

I was quite lost in his memories that Dylan has to snap in front of my face to get me out of my thoughts.

"Where do you get lost sometimes?" he asked raising his brow.

"Nothing. Well do you want to go somewhere?" I asked him this time seeing his face. Dylan has been trying to vow me from the first day of our joining. He is nice and jolly, I would have liked him if I wasn't coping from a breakup.

I don't know if I really want to go out with him. but considering all his efforts I should once try out. But again fear of being used consumes me. I don't want to cry again, considering how emotional I am.

"Well, I was thinking to go this club, I had been twice seen I have in Sydney. I never remember if I heard you going somewhere. Don't you go to explore this beautiful city." He started rotating in his chair, he is always this happy, looking at him I remember myself I was like before I met Sam.

Sometimes we lose ourself, while loving someone else. I did lost myself and now I see it. now I remember how jolly person I was before I drowned myself in self-destruction.

"umm... I don't know I will think about it." I replied him but not looking at him, I have rejected his proposal for seventh time, but this cute guy never seems to take it on his ego.

"its okay, I get it." he replied me and I could feel the calm in his voice, "I get it you are not an club person, you are a home person." I looked at him and chuckled internally, I have never been a home person, but lately I have been.

"umm... yeah you are right." I replied him.

"ok, but do you realize how many times you have rejected me." He rose and unimpressed brow this time and he is not smiling. I think he is getting serious now like he gets when we have to give an presentation.

"yeah, seven times, I am sorry---" before I can complete he interrupted me. "no, you don't need to say sorry, you should never be apologetic how you feel and absolutely not when you are saying no. because its your guts and comfort that matters the most."

I knew I like this gut for a reason, he could be my bf and may be he too wants to, but his bf stands boy and mine stands best.

"well, I am going to grocery shopping today and honestly whenever I go there I am all confused and couldn't make decisions so, can you come me?" he lifts his brow again.

I still don't want to go out, its not about him, its about me. I want to stay at home in my room and sleep and cuddle in my bed or you know not doing anything.

Before I could say anything my phone rang. And I was happy at it. it's sera.

I smiled at it and looked at Dylan for excuse but he gestures to attend the call and leave the table with a smile.

"Hey Alyne, how's everything going? You don't know I am missing you so much and I am just feeling top of the world in here. You know what we come Maldives together in some season." After her long monologue, I was the one taking huge breath.
