VERONICA'S POV

"When did you start liking me?" I asked, swallowing a bite of vegetable salad with great difficulty.

"You are not eating poison, and, this food is healthy." He replied enjoying the food as if it is barbecue meat.

"This is grass is kind of gross!" I dropped the spoon down, resting back on seat lazily.

"Sit straight, we are in a restaurant." Ryan instructed which was royally ignored.

I could see people in business attires and I was the only one who was in baggy casuals. 

"This is what you get when you don't buy me non-vegetarian food." I huffed.

Every person walking by was glancing at me as if I am some weirdo from another world. Ryan did not give me a single minute to change my attire and instead, he told that he wouldn't want any man eyeing me. Which means, In this attire, no one would take a glance at me as I look completely ugly.

He wants me to look ugly? 

"You look absolutely cute in whatever you are wearing" He complimented with a smirk.

Did he just read my mind?

Does he know whatever I think?

Is he an alien or a super hero who can just read people's mind?

"I am a human being and I know I am super genius." He smirked again.

"You are diverting the topic! I asked you something."

"Seems like monkey is smart. Like, Mojo-jojo!"

That's it. I cannot take these insults anymore. 

I am going to wreck you up Ryan!

Taking the spoon full of vegetable salad in mouth, I separated peas and started spitting those on Ryan which took him off-guard.

"Die in the ashes of ice cream!" I cursed and threw a cup of ice cream at him. "Never call me a monkey again!" I warned.

"As evil as Mojo-jojo!" He laughed out wiping of the mess with tissues.

"Excuse me ma'm and sir, Would you please pay the bill and leave. Other customers are complaining." There was a waiter standing with stony-faced expression.

"What did you just say?!" My blood boiled up in anger as I stood up, "You are asking us to go out?! How dare you say that! You-piece of-of-"

Ryan got up from his chair and grabbed my waist with one hand and kept the money on the table with another, "Keep the change!" He informed pulling me out of the restaurant.

I came into my senses when we were out of the restaurant.

His arm was wrapped around my waist. Our skins were just a garment far. 

How'd it feel when he touches my waist ?

  "You are turning red again."

I opened my mouth to protest but he interrupted me.  "If you are this crazy when you are not drunk, can't imagine your drunken state" He put me down taunting me. 

"Stop embarrassing me before I punch into your face."

"I am so scared" he fake cried. 

I started walking away and he reached for my hand. 

"I started liking you when I saw you for very first time in the college." He whispered stepping close to me.

I was stunned.

He knew me from the college?

Does that mean he knows about all the rumors? My bad reputation?

Does he know about my past?

"Though I did not know much about you, I felt something in my heart which I never felt for anyone else. I wasn't sure what it was" He continued,"As the days passed, I kinda stalked you and just watched you until I dropped out of college."

Thank God, He dropped out. There is not a chance he would know about me.

"You dropped out?"

"Yeah, I had to. I never believed in exams, marks, bookish knowledge. I wanted to earn and for that, I already knew the route. Didn't you ever read a book called 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' ?" He asked as we started walking down the lane.

"I started but, I am on my way to complete it you know." Seems like I am going to be the queen awkward and embarrassing situations. He chuckled for my response and I just enjoyed the music and sight of him.

"I love you" 

He looked at me in astonishment.

Did I say it loud? I gulped.

UNKNOWN's POV

I lied down on my bed with silk sheets wrapped around my body. The room was dark and silent. Windows were shut down and curtains didn't let a ray of light come into the room.

I love darkness. It is so mysterious. We find a lot of possibilities in darkness, whereas light, Light reveals it all.

Possibility of something being behind you,

Possibility of something being under your bed,

Possibility of something being right in front of you, but, you may not see it.

Just like Ryan doesn't see me.

"Why don't you sleep baby?" The man on my bed asked.

"Because I need to make someone sleep" I replied, "Forever."
