10| Apologies and revenges

Grandma: "Mitch what happened?" In an interrogating tone she asked while sitting in a straight posture on her favourite cough.

Mitch: "I was doing what you said then that guy Harry came in and he said he liked her and I do not know what came in my mind but I lost it." He accepted as he looked down at his feet in a guilty tone.

Grandma: "You need to apologise to her. I think I am pushing her a lot and it might not end well." She frowned her eyebrows.

Mitch: "Or maybe all of this is a bad idea." In an agitated tone.

Grandma: " She likes books. That is the only things she likes. Who was that guy.... Yes Mr.Andrew Davidson she likes him."

Mitch: "Who is he?"

Grandma: "Some science guy she reads his books,articles, listen to his lectures. I think it will be a great idea to bring him."

Mitch: "Where will I find this guy now?" He was agitated the fact that she liked someone more than him pissed him even more.

Grandma: "You should know that. Now go."

He walk out of the room. Gently he shut the door. He was definitely scared of going in now. A part of his heart had fallen in love with her and he did not want her to hate him but at the same time he could not believe that he was at fault.

He entered the room slowly she was in bed and surprisingly she was asleep maybe shouting on him all day made her tired.

He was so good with women but it was always hard dealing with her. He looked at her for a moment. She looked so innocent to him. Her rosy cheeks were slightly out of the blanket. It was the only time she looked vulnerable. His heart was filled with the desire to hold her gently and apologise and say that he just got jealous.

Why was she even with him in cafeteria. He somehow caught himself comparing with Harry. He was definitely her type. They had similar interests and he had a better character. Maybe he deserved her. He went back to bed with such thoughts in his mind. He removed his shirt and took out his phone.

He searched that Andrew guy. He was an old man in his 50s he looked like such a nerd. He searched him whole night finally he found him. He was in California. He offered him a good sum to come to NYC that he readily accepted. He was not that famous obviously nobody liked nerds. He bought him tickets in advance.

He was constantly in contact with him. Even when she woke up in the morning changed her clothes and then hated them and left. In such bad mood even grandma was scared to talk to her. With his beating heart he text her to come out after work at evening. He was out in porch waiting for her in car. He was holding steering with his one hand and he kept looking around.

Finally he saw her coming towards the car. She was frowning and her face looked agitated. She was holding her coat in her hand and without offering him a single sight he sat in and totally ignored him.

She was looking outside the window. Her hair were tied again and he hated that why could not she try to dress up like other girls. He stopped car in the parking area of the restaurant. As she liked rooftops she did not bother to ask him and walked silently at her own pace. She grabbed a seat near the balcony. Table was dressed up with flowers and candles.

She found it funny that he did not knew she hated such things. Whole day she had to listen to people gossiping about the incident and how it was so awkward between her and Harry all because of him. He stained her only relationship with his ego. Suddenly she saw him greeting Mr.Andrew with a smile. After shaking hands with him. He greeted her and grabbed a seat. For a moment she thought it was a dream.
