The Door to Love | ✔

Chapter 09

"Abby, Phar wants to meet you - " Poppy barged in my room. I quickly shut my laptop. "God, Poppy! You startled me."

"What were you doing in the laptop, huh?" Poppy asked curiously and I rolled my eyes. "None of your business."

"MAMMA, ABBY WAS WATCHING
PORN - " I quickly shut her mouth and hissed, "I was not watching Porn, okay?"

"Then show me what it is," Poppy demanded. "Fine." I sighed and brought my laptop to her. She excitedly sat on the bed and opened my laptop. Her face turned sour and dull when she saw what was in front of her. She asked, "Why were you watching Narnia? We have watched it a million times. And you're finding about antique closets?"

I shook my head. I was curious about this closet and I wanted to relate this incident to someone else's life. I couldn't be the only one in the world except Ted who could have struck in such a situation, right?

I didn't want Poppy to know about this yet. She could keep a secret but to control her excitement would be a difficult task. So, I snatched the laptop from her and said, "Now go away, it's nothing you should bother about. You got what you want so now it's your turn. Get out."

"Whatever," She muttered and just when she was about to exit my room, she turned around. "By the way, Phar wants to meet you. I am sending him up."

"No, you are not! Don't do that if you love your sister."

"Ah! As if I am going to get sentimental about this. I don't want Phar to meet you either but what can I do, he is insisting. Maybe when he will finally realize that you don't give a shit about him, he will come to me. To confess his undying love for me," She said dreamily and fell into a trance.

I chucked a pillow at her and stated, "No boyfriends or involvement with any boys now. You have to concentrate on - "

"Don't be ridiculous, sis. This is the twenty first century. And Phar will come here anyway, so if you play cupid, it will be a great favour to your little baby sister," She said and walked out of my room. I groaned and kept my laptop away.

Phar would be constantly flirting with me. He was a charmer but I did not like that behaviour. He would even try his moves and famous pick up lines on me but it would have no effect on me. I was immune to all that crap.

I couldn't find an excuse to avoid him and Poppy was of no help either. She would normally help me out and that's how things worked between us. But today, she was in a terrible mood and her plans were to make me the matchmaker with whatever was going between them.

I sighed in disappointment and thought of ways to get rid of Phar. I paced back and forth in the room. My attention was immediately diverted to the closet when I heard the footsteps. I had a feeling of déjà vu. Without thinking twice, I ran towards it and yanked the door open. I quickly stepped in the closet and slammed the door shut.
