24 Weeks Of Knowing Him

5

"I asked first"

"Because you have something that I like" he reply " now why you stopped and talked to me?"

I didn't know what to say, I try to run my mind faster than the usual but there's no concrete response out of it. Why was I doing what I did? I didn't planned that. I can't answer him.

"Well?" He presses me

"Maybe because I wanted someone to drive me home when I was tired thinking about the distance from there to my house and you were there." I said out of breath louder than I thought it will be

"You use to do it then. Climbing in every car who offers you a drive back home" he change tones "lucky you I'm not on black affair no more"

I don't like that. His eyes is darker than before and a hint of fear pass through my heart making me scared of this guy who's in front of me right now.

"No I'm not" that's all I can say to his direct but true conclusion. Then what he said after came back on my mind "Wait what ?? What kind of black affair? "

"Nothing. Just wanted to scare you about the consequences of your actions when you don't know the person in front of you"

He made me think twice. He's right.
I was thinking about what kind of conversation I can bring to help me get out of this awkward moment

"Why me ?" I mumbled

"I told you, you have something that I like and wanted to ask if you wanna be my girlfriend" he didn't look at me.

What did I just hear ? He... he what ? You can't ask someone that you barely know to be your girlfriend or maybe yes but at least not like that.

He tend his hand to my legs but I stop him and he looked up at me " I just wanna take them to my legs" he said

I glance at him to see if he was kidding but no, he's serious.

"I don't wanna put dirt on your short" I said softly

"It's fine you won't"

"If it is, don't count on me to wash them" I tease when the tension between us slowly decrease

He smirks " just put your legs here" he pats his legs

In a bit of a second I found it really romantic by his part because even my exs didn't do that to me and it would be great if I can take picture of the moment right now but I don't want him to think that I'm a psycho after yelling at him and taking picture of my legs on his's like nothing happened.

"I'm.." I wanted to excuse for my behavior but he did it first.

"I'm sorry for that.  I shouldn't have told you all of that" he excuses.

"No it's my fault" I said

"No it's mine. I..." he paused then continue "I like your hair "  he suddenly said and I scoff " you know I stopped my car because I was looking at you since you were on the road from the beach. I was far but I wanted to see and know who you are." He paused again and I didn't say anything  "I saw you and your boyfriend fighting tho"

"He's not my boyfriend" I make it clear "he's just an old friend of mine who's asking me out but I don't like him he's not my type I mean I don't have type but I can't see myself with him"

"Ah... Then I followed you again because you catch my eyes. With hair like this..." he touched my hair.

Dude who told you that you can touch it ??
I brushed it real quick and he was laughing at my gesture.

"...you can't pass unseen"

We laugh together and I thank him. He looked completely at me now.

"You were lost in your thought like something is bothering you in your personal life maybe"

This sentence make me look quickly at him " what ? you're a psychologist right now?" I jokingly ask.

"I know some things and yeah I learn psychology but didn't focus that much on it" he answered " you don't sleep well and look at your veins " he lift my left hand up and touch my skin " see" he points at something but I can barely see it because my eyes was tired and I didn't bring my glasses "you need more oxygen too cause something blocks them... the stress and a lack of sleep maybe"

Who is this guys?

I take my hand back at me  "who are you ?" Then I looked at the tinted glass " and why tinted glass?" I ask

"I'm Tyler I told you" he jokes " a lot of people know me that's why... privacy"

"If a lot of people know you, they probably know your car too who wouldn't make you passing unseen for them" then I realize something " or you.. oh or you don't want them to see who you're with!" I frown " you're freaking married!!" I concluded and I wanted to take back my legs to the right position but he held them tight not letting me make any move.

"No I'm not" He quickly reply and I raise my eyebrows to give him another chance to correct his self " I swear I'm not but I have a girlfriend"

"Then why did you ask me to be your girlfriend two minutes ago?" I sharply said

"Because I like you plus you told me you don't have a boyfriend"

"I didn't told you that I don't have boyfriend I told you that the guy you saw there wasn't my boyfriend don't mix things and make me say what I didn't say... And I have a boyfriend" I stammer out of shock.

"You're not even sure about what you say"

"Okay" I breathe out "let's get things clear Mr Know-It-All,  I have boyfriend but I don't really know if we're still in together or not because we're ignoring each other for one and half a month now, he didn't text me so why should I? I don't want this kind of relationship, that's not what I'm waiting for."

"So...  you're free?" he indirectly asks.

"No it doesn't make me single for so much"

"Then what it is that makes you scared of?" He questions

"I don't wanna hear rumor as I'm a cheater or something because nothing is officially over" I explain

"But... don't you think the ignorance confirms that it is?"

"Honestly, yes... no, I don't know" I'm confused

"I want to be your new man" he said taking both my hands

I roll my eyes " you're in relationship and I'm in a complicated one your request don't come at the right time" I half laugh "and it's not that we're in this term of 'friendship' and kind of knowing each other after some get-to-know-you questions that I'll fall for you"

"Yours isn't complicated you just don't wanna finish it when it is already over... oh I see. You're afraid to be dumped"

I frown "I'm not! I knew our relationship is devoted to fail after two weeks when he was back to school but I didn't say anything in fault of disturbing him in his study"

"Excuses. You're afraid that he will break up with you" he said

"Ugh I'm not! Fuck! I just don't wanna be with another person when things isn't officially over between us. I'm like that, my mind's working like that!!" I shouted

"Did you have sex with him ?" He asks and I'm afraid I'm gonna loose it.

"NO!!" I yelled

"You're still virgin?" He seriously questions

"Yes"

"Lie" he simply said

"I'm not!! What's wrong with you?"

"You lie straight to my face and you don't know how to hide it"

I close my eyes in defeat trying to find what to say.

"And right now you're finding a way to get out of it." He scoffs " you know the things with lies is that it's like a string tying both of your hands. You can do it first to save you from a situation then again and again but when it comes at the seven times it will be too tight to untie and you'll be trapped"
