Twisted Love

Chapter 14

My phone was ringing.
No. Stop ringing. I hate it when someone disturbs me while i'm sleeping. I don't wanna wake up right now. I ignored the phone and closed my eyes again, feeling the softness of my bed and the pillows. The cool breeze coming from the window hmmm
And my phone rang again. Irritated I picked up the phone without looking at the caller ID.
Before I could say anything, the person on the other side started to speak, no wait, scratch that, someone started shouting.
"Are you seriously going to stay in that bed for the whole day?" 
"I can do that." I replied to Mason.
There was no reply from the other side and I thought he might have hung up on me but I was wrong because as i was about to put my phone down he started speaking again.
"Get ready in 15 minutes. I'm coming." Mason said or ordered i must say.
"What if i.." and the line was dead. Now he hung up on me. Idiot.
I looked at the time and it was already 7:30 P.M.
I stood up from the bed. Stretched my arms and went to the washroom to get fresh.
I came out and quickly scanned through my bag which i haven't unpacked yet.
I pulled out a pair of black shorts and an off-shoulder top. I applied gloss on my lips.
I was wearing my shoes, when i heard a knock on my door.
"Coming." I shouted. It must be Mason.
I walked to the door and opened it.
Mason was standing there, talking on his mobile. His hair were disheveled. He turned and our eyes met. I quickly looked away. I do not want to look in those dreamy blue eyes which always captivates me.
He cleared his throat.
"Shall we leave?" He asked.
I looked at him. "Yeah. Just let me take my phone."
He nodded. I grabbed my phone from the bed and locked the door.
We went to the restaurant 'El Jardin Secreto'. It was a pretty cosy place.
Just like it's name which means 'A Secret Garden', there was all greenery around. Small lights were lit everywhere. I immediately fell in love with is place.
"Wow" i said while looking around.
"You like it?" Mason asked.
I did not realise I said it loudly.
"Yeah." I smiled at him and he gave me his most beautiful smile in return.
No Elena. Look away. I did as my mind commanded me to.
There were couples sitting around making it quite a romantic place given the lightening also suggested the same.
Our waitor greeted us and took our order.
It came quickly. I realized how I hungry I was, when the waitor placed the food in front of us.
We quitely had our food, savoring it's taste.
Talking in between but not too much which was fine with me after what has happened earlier in my room and flight, it's better this way; I think.
When we were finished, Mason paid for the dinner even though I protested but he didn't listen to me.
We were roaming on the streets, walking beside each other, our hands touching in between so I walked a step ahead not wanting any physical contact with him.
The cold breeze hit me and I shuddered a little. Yup. Wrong choice of clothes I thought. I sighed. I hugged myself.
Suddenly I felt a jacket around my shoulders. I looked at Mason.
"It's okay. I don't want it." I told him.
I was about to pull it off but Mason kept a hand on my shoulder.
"No." His eyes were looking at me with so much of intensity that I could not utter a single word. 
This staring game is bad for my health but I don't know why it is happening again and again. It's not like he likes me. Or may be he does?
"I don't want you to fall sick." He said and I felt something warm inside me. Damn don't blush please don't blush. That would be embarrassing. Suddenly he blinked and looked away.
"Anyway we have a meeting tomorrow and you have to be there."
No he doesn't. Without even knowing he gave me my answer.
Why I'm feeling sad. I should not feel like this.
I chuckled. He looked at me, confused but I already started walking.
We came back to the hotel. Whole way we didn't talk. He only discussed a little about the meeting tomorrow and that's it.
As soon as we reached my hotel room, I turned and gave him his jacket back.
"Thanks and Goodnight."
He was looking at the jacket and then at me.
"No problem. Night."
I nodded and was opening my door
When he called me.
"Elena?"
"Yeah?" I turned around and that warm feeling came back. What is he going to say now?
I was looking at him but he didn't say anything for a few minutes then he closed his eyes and started speaking again.
"Mr Juan will be here at 10:00 A.M tomorrow."
Stupid Elena stop dreaming. He does not like you. So stop expecting.
I simply nodded at him. Frankly speaking I don't want to talk about anything right now.
"Umm Goodbye then."
Why the hell I'm getting a feeling that he doesn't want to leave yet. Should I ask him to come inside.
'I don't want you to fall sick. We have a meeting tomorrow' how can I forget those words.
No. I should not invite him inside.
"Bye." I said. I entered my room and closed the door without giving
Mason another glance.
Shit. I have to forget him but this trip is going to make it really hard for me.
I changed my clothes. Brushed my teeth and lied down on my bed.
The only thing that was on my mind before i fell asleep was that intense look on Mason's face and his blue eyes glued to mine.
