Diamond Ash ( Completed )

Ghost From The Past...

(two months later)

"Beep Beep.... Beep beep... Beep beep...thud.. good morning... " my alarm clock buzzed as a drifted back to consciousness...

Yawning and stretching i slowly raised myself in the bed.. and grabbed that tiny bewiched alarm clock...to shut it up...

"Oh Damnnnnnnn!!!!!! It's already 8....i m gonnnnaaa be ssoooo lattte....Why dont i ever wake up on time?? " i confronted myself while jumping out of the bed...

I checked my phone for any messages while brushing my teeth....i know its odd but you have to multitask when you are this late.... There were 25 missed calls from Aron and Lara and about 50 text messages... Most of them saying...

"Dont Get Late Livvv.... "
"Its a really important meeting for you Livvv... "
"Sleep Early... "
"Dont Forget To Set your alarm clock"
"Dont throw your alarm on the floor and break it like before!!!"
"Etc.."

"God!!!! Am i that predictable??" i voice messaged both of them... While the brush still in my mouth...

Then i put the phone down... Quickly got ready... With my hair lying low... And a skinny black jeans and purple shirt... I think i can make everyone at the office overlook the tiny little fact... that i was late..i gloated in front of the mirror..

I picked up my keys and a sandwich that my sweet roommate i.e Lara... Left for me on the kitchen counter...

Oh yes... I forgot to mention... When i got back...from Vermont... I could not live in the same house as before...all alone... It was... too much...so i moved in with Lara... Got a new job in her office too... As a head secretary... And so far... The two months have been a blast.. And Things were going great...

My phone beeped... Just as i opened the front door... I looked down...it was Aron's voice message...saying

"Yes... Livvv... You are that predictable!!!"

I smiled and decided to leave now... So that i could reach on time for the meeting... But just as i lifted my head from the phone... My smile vanished... Standing in front of me.. Was Himm....The person who took about a month of therapy... And distance from my own house... To get out of my head... And here he was... Standing in front of me... Like a block..of hard stony rock... Looking me in the eye... With those eyes... That could drown  the world in them...

Whyyyyy??

But i had no time for this... No time for him... I had a meeting to attend... A life to live... So i moved past him like he was not even there....locked the house.. And drove to my office... He followed me.. While i walked towards my car.. but never uttered a single word..

He was never much of a talkative person...

And just like that... The stupid head voice was also back again!!!!

Well this time.. Being quiet was helping him because i swear to god if he says a single word... It will not end well for him!!!

When i reached my office...everybody was waiting for me to start the meeting...so i busied myself with my work... The meeting was splendid... And my boss tipped me about a future promotion...

As a matter of fact... When you are angry and feel hollow inside... That is the best time... To do work and business...because you outlet your frustration by working... And make it productive... That is exactly what i did..

Lara came to me and offered to go for dinner together before heading home... But i lied saying that i had some work to do and had to work overtime and promised her that i would not stay hungry...I did not want to lie..but I had to figure this out myself first.. Before telling anyone..so i finished my work or more preciously gathered up the courage to go home till about 10 o clock at night..

I had dinner at a chinese resturant as promised and reached home at 11 o clock. I parked my car near my building and started to ascend the stairs praying that probably he has struck his head somewhere and he not not anywhere near my house!!!

But God and I have not been on listening terms lately.....because there he was....standing right in front of my door!!!!

I had no intention of talking to him still..... So i ignored him... And he did not object...just stood there like a green eyed ghost shadowing me... Looking in my eyes... His eyes telling a  thousand stories at the same time... Some which i knew some of which i did not... While i banged the door of my house shut on his face!!!

I was just not ready to let it all in... Again...knowing what it did to me.. How it ended... But i could not help but notice that he looked a bit different now...a bit thinner and paler... His hair loosely hanging around.. He was in serious need of a haircut and some rest... But even in this condition... He looked surprisingly breathtaking!!!

I cannot believe that you just thought that!!!! Damn you Livv.... You stilll...

"Livv??Why are you standing with your back glued to the door and your eyes closed??"It was Lara

"Umm... Nothing.. Just too tired... " i lied...

"Tired from thinking of whether or not to talk to him?? " Lara chuckled..

"How did you know?? " i pinched her

"Well...i was not blind enough to not notice a complete stranger standing in front of our apartment since i came home... And then the look on you face explained it all... But you know what helps?? " Lara questioned while moving towards the refrigerator

"What?" i asked

"Ice cream!!!... Come on!!! " Lara jumped excitedly.. And i followed her..

After finishing all the ice cream buckets we had in our house...i actually felt relaxed...and wanted to go to sleep.. But just as i went to close the curtains of my room and call it a night... I saw him again...and all the relaxation melted away..

Ahhhhhh.... I could not hold up with this ignoring thing any longer... I decided...

It was now or never
