The girl they will never have

23.

Dedicated to Crystal_Splendour for being the first reader and leaving those expected comments. Thank you again.

"I like you".

Hmmh. So what am I supposed to do. Should I slap him?Nah,he's tall and well,I'm just a rabbit to this wolf.

I looked at him like yeah,for the first time I did not stare. He is tall. His face doesn't give away that he's a jerk. And his clothes-a blue shirt and jeans. Simple yet he carried off well. He had charm.

"If I say you to stop drooling,I'm sure you will kick me down the stairs,which to be frank I don't want that since I'm already a sort of patient." He said with a slight smirk.

I smiled but a really really small smile.

"You got the second part right and I'm not drooling. I'm just calculating how much of a jerk you might be. But the patient thing?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"So I'm correct in my assumptions towards you. That's a good start. As for your question,I have a scraped elbow and a bandaged knee,so getting more stitches is not appealing,however much prettier the giver might be." Zaid said with a smile.

I couldn't help myself from smiling.

"And how did you get it,I mean the stiches. Don't say you work in a gang or something."

"I would surely love to tell that I work in a gang,mostly because good girls like you are more into the clique bad boy's. But maybe there's an exception in your case. And for these stiches,I had a accident."

I saw his elbow and it had been dressed. And now when I looked at his face,there was a small scratch at the temple. He smiled showing slight dimples on both sides. I had no intention of poking them. Maybe. But no,I wouldn't do that.

"I still don't know your name?" He asked looking in my eyes. Feeling weird,I turned around and thought whether to give him my real name or a fake one.

What could possibly go wrong,huh?

"Xanna."

"Xanna. Nice name."

I rolled my eyes and seeing me do that,he started laughing.

"You would think I do this with every girl,don't you!? But no,I normally don't go to parties like this and neither do I openly flirt with girls."

Okay,hearing this,what should I feel like?. Coz right now,I think I felt something strange within myself and a smaall amount of happiness.

"What are you doing here? I'm sure you are not a party animal looking at those sneakers and the way you have dressed."

I looked down to what I was wearing. I'm wearing a long cream colored top and a light jacket with straight pants and sneakers. I'm not embarrassed by it coz again why would I care about others.

"Forced to come. My friends are somewhere in there." I said pointing to the crowds. I looked at Mila who was dancing and talking to some girls. Like she said,she did not have any drinks,thankfully. I looked at the digital dial in my pocket and its still nine.  I do not wear watches,rather I carry the dial of my favorite watch and surprisingly I don't know how to know the time in those normal watches. I'm too lazy to learn it and it's really confusing.
