Seira pov
If Sarah was here, she would have fainted multiple times by now. He was good looking. Like very. Stay calm, you're saying no."Yes. You're Damon, right?" He nodded and outstretched his hand for a handshake. I took it and surprisingly, his handshake was warm and firm.
"Let sit?"We both sat facing eachother. My face must have been tomato red because we didnt say anything for minutes.
Damon pov
I thought of a way of starting this conversation as obviously, how would she start. Her cheeks were flushed and red in this silence and were pretty distracting.
Get a grip.Taking a low breath i started,
"Seira?"
She looked up.
Do you have blue eyes or green? Jeez.
"I bet you know why we are here. Dont you?" I dont her to be here for a second if she was forced. She nodded.
Say something, dammit!"I do." She spoke. I wanna hear that again.
"Ma said that we should meet up and get to know each other. But..."
Please dont say no.
What the fuck Damon? You wanted this. Didnt you?
I lent forward."Hey there. You mind giving your orders now?" The same waitress interrupted and i swear she eyed Seira.
Stop looking at her."You didnt order?" Seira asked looking shocked.
"I was waiting for you." She flushed. I love her blush. So red.
"I would like to have a cold coffee and Damon?" I watched her deep red rounded lips move at the words. Damon sounded nice.
Your name. Dumbass."What would you like?" She asked.
"I would have a no-sugar black coffee. Please." I glared at the waitress and getting my point, she turned on her heels and disappeared.Seira pov
"Dont you think its too cold for a cold coffee?" It was windy out there.
"Umm...to be honest, i sort of regret that now." I said and he got a light frown.
"Im not that intimidating. Dont be nervous."
You are! His eyes are something that catch your eye and send these currents through.
"Im just not sure about what to say. This...has never happened before." My heartbeat raced."Okay. Lets keep it casual then. Hi, Im Damon, and you must be Seira right?" He interwined his fingers and leaned on the table and waved at me. Quite close. I giggled and did the same.
"Hi Damon. Im Seira."
"So Seira, what do you do?"
"Im a neurosurgeon at the Aquarious hospital. And, what do you do Damon?" I thought of Vampire Diaries."Im a businessman. Im into the telecommunications business. Technology."
The waitress was back with the coffees.
"Isnt that very very bitter?" Black coffee without sugar, yuck!
"Im just used to having bitter things." He said that in monotone like he meant it otherwise."Well i also used to drink that at exam times but casually lost that habit too." I said.
Damon pov
"So hows your work going? I heard about your operations." I took a sip and i swear that woman put more coffee to express her anger as bitterness."Yes,i have done ten so far ready for the eleventh."
"What was your most difficult one?" He asked. Well they were all quite hard for her, i heard.
"There is a five year old, Reece that has a problem with tissue swelling that affects his brain."
She said looking all concerned and worried.
"Is it that serious?"
What are you doing? Shut up. Cheer her up.
She nodded. Her constant nodding was so irritating. Cant she just say yes?"Im very fond of him. I dont have any sibling so he is like my baby brother. Im just scared that i may make a mistake and..." i tensed.
He could die.
"I bet it would not happen. You're an exceptional doctor."
Flatterer."Thank you. What about your work, its all about risks after all." She knew that. I like her.
Very much.
"Well, we are having slight problems with delivery right now but i have made my mind. Out the two choices, i made mine."
"What were they?" She looked interested. Hmm.
"Air drop and shipping. I chose air drop.""Shipping is your opportunity cost then." Fuck.
I like you."You know a lot about business i see." It was shocking actually. No girl was ever interested in how i earn.
"One of my friends is into business."
She spoke confidantly and free. She had a sweet attitude. Her beauty was extraordinary, like a cherry on the icing.
How would the cake be like then?
I made her talk most of the time so i could just look and admire her all the time. Her smile, those lips i tell you.
Her skin was flawless despite the little bags under the eyes which were again a cherry on the icing.
Amazing.Seira pov
Before this would go the opposite direction, i had to say no. But how? It could hurt him if he wanted to say yes.Just say it.
"Damon? Would you mind if i tell you my decision now? Here."
He sat up and leaned in again.
"Just say it."
"I...i cant marry you."There! You said no.
"Im quite surprised but why?"
He looked calm and reasonable. Who would say no to him?"You're really good, trust me but i dont think im the 'marriage material' right now. I mean, i have so much to do. I have started my career and i may ruin it for both of us by getting confused all the time." Like now.
Damon pov
Fuck. Dammit. Damon, she said no! No one has said no to me! Whether its business or life. Why Seira?When she gave her reason, it looked okay from her perspective but really was bullshit. She is sensible and gorgeous. Confused. Bullshit.
"Are you sure about your decision? You cant change it then." If we have to break it, we break it right away rather than stretching it like elastic. Waiting for it to snap.
"Yes. Im sure." Nope you are not. She blinked her eyes and played with her fingers under the table.
There is hope Damon.
Seira pov
Damon was really nice. Anyone would have said yes. But i cant. I just started walking on my two feet and here the plan is to make me run. Impossible.I stood up.
"Are you okay?" He asked when the waitress took the check.
"I have some work. Goodbye Damon.""I will walk you out. Come."
"No. I will manage."
I started walking out and Damon still followed and stopped by the entrance.Damon pov
Why?
She turned around before taking another step.
"You are very nice Damon. Dont blame yourself. If i run Damon, i will fall. Pulling you down too. Hurting you. And i dont want that." Smiling, she walked down the street leaving me alone.A hit of realisation came by explaining the immediate loneliness i felt. She cared for me and thats what a relationship needs right?
I need her. I want her.
I want you Seira.
