Chapter nine

We both took our time enjoying each other's presences, talking about our lives.
I didn't really have much to talk about, but I was glad Jimin did. He led an interesting life, completely different from mine and I liked listening to him talk about all the countries and places he visited, all the new things he experienced and all the new people he met.

Even before the accident, I led a normal quite life. I wasn't exactly the popular girl in school, but I did have my share of friends. Friends whom I thought would stick by me through everything, but unfortunately I was wrong.

"I think I had the most amazing time in Norway" He explained to me happily.
"Yeah? It does sound really cool from what I heard just now" I answered him, resting my hands under my chin and smiling.

"What?" He asked, his eyes smiling immediately.

"Nothing its just nice to be able to talk to someone like this" I replied awkwardly, wondering if I was being a total sentimental cliche. I couldn't blame my self. Its been a while since I was out like this and not to add, with a guy like Jimin? It felt too good to be true. Like a good dream and in which I would be woken up and realizing that it was all just not real.

At that moment, he reached over and took my hand, and I could have sworn my heart skipped a beat or two.
His soft hands fit mine perfectly and even by his mere touch I could feel chills, almost as if this is what has been missing all this time.

"I understand how hard it would have been for you to come with me, but you did and I am so proud of you" He said in a soft honey dripping voice.

Okay, hold on cause is this how it feels when people say everything around you suddenly got all blurry and you only see the guy in front of you? I thought that only happened in fiction life but here it was happening with me.

And well, I know I did meet this guy in the most random way ever and just got to be friends with him only like a day ago, not to mention me not knowing much about him, But once again the fact that he was all good looking, kind and sweet didn't help at all- yeah Sue me but I definitely liked how jimin held my hands.

I smiled in return and squeezed his hands and we had a moment just like that, the two of us in our own world totally oblivious of our surroundings.

As disappointing as it was to let go of his hands, I let go first cause I didn't want to come off as clingy. I could have sworn I saw a slight disappointment in his face as I let go, almost as if he wanted to keep holding my hands, but I disregarded the thought cause I am delusional most of the times.

Tamping down the ridiculous smile on my face, I cleared my throat.
"Are we staying here all day"?

Jimin snapped out of whatever he was in and got up immediately. He went over to pay the bills.

I watched him leave not even realizing I was smiling.

"Your boyfriend is really cute" The waitress who was cleaning the table next to ours said with a warm smile.

I looked over to see that she had a name tag.
'Jennie'

I shook my head fast. "He is not my boyfriend. Just.. a friend". I looked down at my hands a bit embarrassed cause I didn't know how to deal with a situation like this.

Jennie quickly kept the cleaning cloth away and looked back to see jimin was still paying, and hurried over to our table.
"Girl! What!! Look I have really good eyes when it comes to love and relationships. Okay if you guys aren't dating then I bet you guys will soon"

I blushed furiously at her words. "Wh..what do you mean??"

"I've been watching you both, and you two look really cute. Not to mention but, the way he looks at you" she nods her head. "I am telling you he likes you."

I was sipping some water, and after hearing that I choked. My eyes went wide as I coughed. "He what?"
I didn't know who this girl was, but she was definitely planting seeds of hope in my delusional head, and I wasn't even sure what I was gonna do with it.

Before Jennie could reply to me I saw Jimin coming, and I mentally groaned because as ridiculous as it sounded, I still wanted to hear why she said that.

Hearing footsteps from behind, Jennie quickly changed the topic. "Oh my name is Jennie by the way. Love the hair. Whats your name" she said sweetly, like she was just randomly striking an introductory conversation with me.

I blinked a few times catching on. "I am.. I am Leah, and thanks." I said not knowing what else to add, because I sucked at conversing with people.

Jennie discreetly winked at me and turned and bowed to Jimin a little and hopped away.

"Did you make a new friend?" Jimin asked, pulling my wheelchair out moving forward to go out.

"Uh.. yeah, I guess." Was only what I could reply with, cause Jennie's words were already haunting me.

Jimin drove me home right after having lunch. Just as we were about to enter my place jimin got a call.

He rolls his eyes at the Caller ID but also smiles and answers "yes Jungkookie. Why are you calling me"

He talked for a while on the phone and turned to me. "I don't know if this is even okay, but Jungkook wants to come over to ask you some questions and taehyung ended up overhearing the conversation and now he wants to tag along cause he is bored and wants to meet you."
He sighs giving me an apologetic look which said 'I'm-sorry-my-friends-are-like-this'

I burst out laughing. "Ofcourse they can come over. Plus I would love to have company. I am glad they liked me though"

Jimin just sighed and pushed me into the house "this is going to be a long night".
