Abroad Clićhe

Chapter 33(C). Can I kiss you?

Neha Gupta

"You know we can't send her on a date!!" Dad exclaimed in irritating voice as Mom was to stubborn on sending me with Alex.

"You better control that tone with me,mister! Otherwise you'll get to hug the sofa and no sex for a week!!" Mom backfired with the same pitch of voice.

Suddenly, it was silence from Dad's side. I chuckled softly.

Even if they were upstairs their voices reached down to me. I got to say the thought of not going with Alex made me disappointed and felt something weird like  I'm want to go with Alex even if Dad disagree and that was somewhat disturbing. I block their voices of quarreling and started thinking of Alex.

Why does he make me feel so.. precious? Whenever he's near why I get self conscious?

My thinking was interrupted when I heard  footsteps.

I curled the handkerchief in my palm with nervousness on Dad's decision. My heart was beating faster and faster praying,he'll sent me on this date. Dad greeted me with a smile and little water in his eyes as if he remembers someone or miss them.

"Look at you..you are looking like a  princess. You can go,beautiful" Dad whispered while hugging me softly as if afraid I'll break from his touch.

Feeling overjoyed, I hugged him tightly and exclaim a queue of thank you's. He chuckled at my reaction and pull out from the hug smiling. Mom was looking as us in pure awe and clutch her right hand on her chest.

"You really like this guy huh?" Dad teased me giving me light shoulder push making me blush.

"No!" I quickly answered in denial but knowing that I do a little I smiled.

Dad raised his hands in surrender and smiled. He narrowed his eyes towards the front door from where some whispering noise was coming. He placed his finger on lip signalling to be silent and Mom tiptoed towards me,standing in front of me overprotectively.

Alex Dalton

"Are you going to come in or not?"

I jumped six feet in air as I heard this strong manly voice out of nowhere. I blinked twice and cleared my throat before saying out.

"Ya. Uhm..sure."

I would've asked the same question if I saw a guy waiting around 15 minutes making weird hand gestures and talking to himself. I was nervous as hell was the biggest understatement till now. My hands were trembling whenever I tried to knock the door.

The door knob clicked and the door was opened by Neha's Dad who didn't even blink while giving me a cold and hard stare which made me run home and hide under my bed.

"Don't kill him,Jacob!" A feminine voice shouted from behind.

Oh. That helped! Thanks a lot!

Her dad rolled his eyes and ranked me in disgust like he couldn't believe his daughter's choice is so low.

Pfft.. believe it or not my face-seeing will be a weekly event for you,Mister.
