Recap: Nick kissed Chole's hand and she was wondering whether he could be her Mr.Right. (Continuation of Chapter 4)

Chloe's POV

I splashed some water to my face to clear the crazy thoughts and stared into my own reflection. I didn't know how long I gazed into the mirror. It was my phone ringtone that pulled me back into real world. I took my phone and saw the name "Home" with the photo of gram on the screen.

"Chole ,is that you?" she asked as if my number was PCO (Public Communicating Operator). But I'm used to it as she always asks like that whenever she calls me.

"Yes,gram. It's me." I said, smoothing invisible wrinkles on my dress. Then I picked my clutch bag and exited the ladies.

..........A pregnant pause.......

"Hey gram. What's wrong?" I asked her feeling slightly worried about her heart condition. She had heart attack last two months and found that she had Angina pectoris.

I couldn't hear her voice as there were many people laughing, speaking and gossiping in the hall. So I looked around to find some quiet place to hear the phone. I was busy trying to find the exit and I didn't see the accident coming.

I bumped into a chest, a male one exactly. I knew it was a male since the chest was covered with expensive looking Tuxedo. I muttered Sorry without bothering to look up his face. I knew it was rude but I couldn't spare a minute as I was busy worrying.

Then I fled from that spot. There it was-a garden, the most isolated place that provided the perfect tranquility. So I went there and yelled into the phone.

"Gram Gram!!!"

"Oh my! Apparently my earring ability is still intact. Why would you yell at me, young lady?"

"You called me and said nothing. So, I thought the worst and you are making me worried sick. Can you blame me? Is everything ok?" I knew my face was properly red from anger and anxiety.

" Oh ,don't worry sweetie. I'm perfectly great and why did u think I'm leaving you? I won't leave you until you get married and give me great children. I didn't say a word cos I didn't hear a word you said , so I paused. And I called you to ask when you would come back home and if you took home key."

"I don't know when this will end. I have taken home key so don't wait for me. I know you are worried about me right?" I teased her.

"What makes you think I'm worried about you? I'm just looking forward to hearing how handsome the guys there are. As it's 9:15 already, spare me detail for tomorrow and I'm feeling tired."

"Ok, gram. Love ya. Bye."

"See you at home. Be safe," she said and hung up.

I had stayed at this party only for about an hour and I was feeling that I had lost most of my sanity. I'd felt happiness, excitement, embarrassment, worry like I was riding emotional roller coaster. I sat on a bench and enjoyed the breeze flowing into my hair.

Then my eyes were covered with hands and all I saw was black. At the same time, a familiar leathery manly scent entered into my nostrils. I felt shocked and jumped slightly. Then my hands instantly reached to my eyes unintentionally touched his hands.

" You can't run away from me, Baby C," he whispered into my ears. Then he uncovered my eyes. I opened my eyes eagerly but my vision was blurred.

"You can't even remember my voice, Baby C? Who else call you that name? I thought it was only mine." he said amusingly.
