I See You

CHAPTER 14

Ella escorted me to the ' hot neighbours'  home . " Do I look beautiful ?" she asked while standing outside his door . I nodded in approval.

                       I didn't had any choice , if I disapproved , then again she would take two hours , which won't be appealing to me. Although she looked fine , I won't use a word beautiful for her . But thats what she though herself to be.

                 I took the liberty to ring the door bell as she was too much engrossed in her introductory speech. We waited for  sometime , but no one answered . I looked at Ella and through my eyes I conveyed to her that '  I am leaving'.

                  " I am coming , wait a minute " , a manly voice said from the other side of the door . Ella's face lit up like a Christmas tree , she adjusted her pink tank top , which did little work of hiding anything within and her denim shorts , which were the ' smallest size' which anyone could call Shorts .

               The door opened and for the first time in a life , my jaw dropped at the view of his bare chest , which was filled with    muscles . His chest was moving up and down due to his harsh breathing.

                 He wiped his face with the towel which was hanging around his neck . I am pretty sure , he was freshly showered with the masculine smell of the body gel filling my nostriles . " Who are you ?" he asked .

              Ella didn't say anything , which was too lost in him , anyways who want be. " We are your next door neighbour , we...." I said while Ella  cut me off " I came here to say hello as well as wanted to know , if you needed anything "  she said with extra sweetness , which didn't suit her at all.

               " That's really nice of you both . Please come in " ,  we entered  " I am really for my disposal . I was having shower . I will be right back , make yourself comfortable " he informed.

             While he went I looked around his house , it was decently decorated not too much nor too less , just the right balance .

                 " I am back , anything that you ladies want ? " he asked with a smile which showed off his lovely dimples ." Yes I know what I want " Ella said in a seductive voice while shamelessly eying him .

           " But I don't think I can give u , what you are asking for " he said , as if he knew what this shameless girl wanted .Ella panicked a little by his reply " You got me all wrong " she said defensively " I wanted to say that .....I wanted to know you , so what's your name ? "

              He smiled and he  took a couch from the corner and brought it near Ella and sat on it . " Edward Galardo is my name . What else do you want to know about me , Miss "  he said with a cocky smile . He was such a player and I thought him to be different .

              " I should head home , I have lot of work to do " I said with a straight face and up to leave ." By the way , may I know your name , lady ? " he asked sweetly .

                  But I was in no mood of his flirty little game " Ok if you insist,   its Akira .    Bye " . I banged the door after me in anger . But why was I angry at all , he isn't my type nor do I like him , do I ? .

.....................

             I came from there but I couldn't even concentrate on my work . Four hours have passed , still no sign of her.  What is it thats taking her so long .

            I lingered some more on my bed , but I couldn't control myself anymore . Should I go there and make a complete fool of myself . No I shouldn't but what can I do ?.

 
             I heeard the noise of the main door open , someone has come , maybe Ella .  I was filling with anticipation , but then I saw Ella barging into my room with her ' love sick face ' .

           " He is so great , such a dream guy " she said with mesmerising eyes " Do you know I invited him for my farewell party as well as the convocation ceremony " .

                 " What was his reply ?" the second this came out of my mouth I regretted it .     " He said , he would love to come , isn't he  a darling " she said , almost uneffected by my
question .

          

           She told me everything from top to bottom about her ' date ' although it wasn't.  Thank God , I didn't had to ask her anything Even thought I wanted to know , but that would sound so desperate.

                  After her stomach had become totally  light after diverging all the information . She went to her room .I thought some more about it
