Love 'verses' Me

Chapter 6

The reality hit me hard,

It's never too easy to meet your soulmate.

Sometimes, love doesn't grow from first sight,

Sometimes it starts from hate.

-Ashley

I pity myself. I met a perfect stranger who according to me wrote some crazy lovely shits and bam! Turns out that he ain't that perfect now.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, give it a thousand reasons to smile.

I took out that piece of paper from my pocket given to me by Mark. Dave's phone number. I stared for it for too long and contemplated if to call him or not. I don't already like him. The way he crushed my dreams and wasted my time and all the efforts to look good was something i am not going to forgive him for. Well it's not all his fault, i was the one who swooned and dreamt about Mark being my 'Dave'.

I deserve an explanation and an apology too.

It was 9 pm. "It's fine to call him now. No big deal." I sighed to myself and dialled his number from my mobile.

My heart was beating a little bit faster because of two reasons:

1. What if Mark picks up?

2. What will Dave's voice sound like?

Okay! Why would Mark pick up his brother's phone. I wish Dave is unavailable to pick but Mark gets it. The call straight away went to voice mail.

I dialled it one more time and it rang three times before somebody picked it up

"Hello?" A raspy yet sexy voice came from the other end.

"umm. Hi. I am Ashley Waters" i was tad nervous and annoyed at the same time.

"Oh! Miss Ashley, nice to talk to you again."

Again? Wait, what? Was he Mark? Because we have not spoken before this.

"Again? I guess this is the first time i am talking to you Mr. Dave. Or is it Mark i am speaking to?"

"Oh no Ms. Ashley. I'm Dave and we've conversed through that napkin. Remember?"

Right. I rolled my eyes simultaneously.

"oh yeah!"

"So you met my brother? But before that, i am so sorry to be not able to make it up to you today. My boss called at the last moment and well I'd to go for this meeting."

"Oh no it's okay i guess. What do you do by the way?"

"I am basically a businessman but I love to write and meet people who write beautifully." He sounded as if he was smiling.

He was trying to flirt with me. Better luck next time Dave. I don't like you much.

"Well that's why you don't fulfil your promises." I said with an annoyed voice.

He chuckled," like i said Ms. Ashley i am surely a businessman but i've a boss too who loves to order me around and can't watch me happy and making friends."

"Whatever Mr. Dave. It's okay. I'll talk to you later. It's getting tad late."

"No wait Ashley! Can i meet you tomorrow? I don't need to worry about my boss anymore. He has gone to Hong Kong to make some deal or something."

"I'll think about it Dave." I said with a stern voice to tell him that i'm not falling for his invitation again.

"But it is 9:30 already you don't have any time to think."

"Well I come to that coffee shop every day so it's not a big deal for me. See you tomorrow! Bye. Good night!"

"Thank you sweet Ashley. Good night!"

We both hung up the phone. I settled on my bed and sighed. I closed my eyes and played the scenes of the day again. i saw Mark and his smile and his hair and him. Only him. i must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing i know was i was walking somewhere with Mark with my hand in his. That's a dream for sure.

Dave's POV

I hung up the phone and sighed. I know i made a huge mistake and definitely my big brother must've thrown his charm over her face and she will think that I am the bad guy here but it's the other way round.

Mark always see me as his competitor. Always. Any girlfriend of mine after breaking up with me straight away went to my big brother for comfort or hook up i must say. I got their panties in a twist and bam I was always second.

Not only in girls but job too. Guess who is my boss?

Right! That's him. My father left our business to him as well as to me but he being the big brother inherited it and made me the vice president. He treats me like i am a servant or something. I've to follow his orders though because if I denied him, my mother would be the one in trouble.

I went to the bathroom to freshen up since i had come home just when Ashley called and haven't even pulled out my shoes.

I went to the bathroom but on the way stripped myself out of the clothes and shoes. I was just in my boxers. I stared myself in the mirror greenish eyes i inherited from my mother and messy brown hair. i don't know why the girl's fall for that idiotic annoying brother of mine.

I washed my face and went to watch some television. Ashley! She was the only one i was thinking about while watching the tv or i must say while staring at the television.

Her voice is as sweet and beautiful as her poem and when she is trying to be annoyed, the cuteness radiates from her voice. What am i going to do tomorrow? Thank god Mark has to leave. I would have killed him for interrupting one more time. I told him yesterday only that i have to meet a friend of mine and yet that stupid ass gave me some errands to run. Intentionally.

I'll wait up for tomorrow and just think about Ashley and what tomorrow has in the cards for me.
