My Blue Orange [COMPLETED]

Chapter 18

He was in the mall when Julia came across flashing her white teeth.

They chatted for a while but he forgot that she belonged to the familia of one of those clingy ones and he didn't bit back at his tongue to express his anger.

'Stop acting like a chewing gum.'

She laughed it off taking it as a joke.

'Well you do need this chewing gum tonight.', she straightened his tie and he shook her hand away harshly.

'Come on I'm sorry for last night. I was busy with stuff. But I'll be there for you tonight.', she whispered only for him and he rolled his eyes.

'Lets go for lunch.', she stated taking his hand.

And he obliged. Coz he needed her tonight.

They sat facing each other and she kept playing with her hair.
This reminded him of Rumi.

The way she used to twirl her hair around her finger.

How much he loved that gesture but now he hated it to his guts.

She kept ranting and he looked around after placing the order.

A familiar sight caught his attention and the whole world faded. All he could see was her. She was rioting with her burger blessing his eyes. 

Julia's voice was nowhere to be found now. 

He stared unintentionally.

It felt he had lost his control.

She stood up after paying the bill and was struggling with her shopping.

Her small self couldn't gather those bags in just two hands.

In a matter of mere seconds she was out and he took it as his queue. He shut Julia's plans for tonight and chased her.

'Where are you going?'

'Don't bother yourself for tonight.', he sputtered not bothering to even look at her gobsmacked face.

He escalated down but she wasn't blessing his eyes.

He rushed past the small crowd and saw her departing frame.

A fresh breath was inhaled witnessing her.

'You're here.', he said thinking that she is always there to lighten up the whole town with her smile.

  'Ohh you're saying as if you were not gawking at me for past thirty minutes.', she scrunched her nose up at him and he mentally smacked his head.

Glancing down at his watch he said,'Where are you heading now?'

'Hotel.', she dragged last letter that made her tongue stuck out a bit.

'I'll drop you.', he said as his car halted in front of them.

He brushed off the driver and jumped into the driving seat.

She sat with great care and put all the bags in the back seat.

'Wait! Where is that red chick?', she whispered taking him by surprise.

He didn't took her as a girl saying that 'chick' word, but then again she's surprising him a lot.

'She's gone.', he confirmed her doubts earning a small sigh.

He tried focused on the road bearing but her gaze kept sending tickles down his spine. He felt the hair on the nape of his neck prickle up. After a long while he was feeling something and he liked it.
