Apparently I Know You #Wattys2019

Chapter 8

Munira's POV
"Who was that guy?" Chip spoke after Dominic's dramatic departure.
I honestly couldn't gather much of my thoughts.

We walked back to the diner as his car was parked near there.We were setting off for the night.And honestly I was desperate to go home and reflect on what the hell just happened...

Reflection which also means screaming into my pillow then changing into pyjamas and then boiling hot milo and finally tuning in some Stefan Salvatore...That was basically what I did whenever I wanted to escape confusing issues.

Ranting to Chastity could wait.Anyways,getting back to Chip's question...

"Just some weird guy..." I murmured.
Seriously?

"Some weird guy who happened to kiss your hand and call you Princess?And yes he whispers loudly." He commented,a bit annoyed.

"We just happened to meet cos he bought something in the store I work at." I didn't even know why I was gabbling for.

"So he gets to call you Princ-"
I interrupted him now.It was nice for a change.

"My mother knows his mother and we met a few times and he's just really kiddy you know.It's normal." I added,hoping he will change the subject.

"He seemed more flirty than kiddy..." he mumbled to himself.
Well he mumbled loudly...

He held my hand in his all of a sudden.His one didn't feel rough or calloused though.
Great...

The ride back was short as he followed me up to drop me off.We were at my door now.My mind was somewhere else though.

Chip flashed me his swoon worthy smile.It made a lot of girls giggle at the sight.It was charismatic I guess.His teeth were spotless white and perfectly aligned.If I had teeth like that,I'd be grinning the entire day.

"I had a really fun night Chip." I spoke happily.
I truly did though.I didn't mind going out with him again.

"So...uh...Well I mean usually...Well...You know." He stumbled apprehensively while scratching his head again.

I knew what he meant as I chuckled at his rambling.The "ideal" way to end a date night.

I raised on my tiptoes and silenced him with my lips.My hands were lightly pressed against his buff chest.I mean it was just a kiss no big deal.It felt friendly to me.

He deepened it for quite some time and as I backed away,his cheeks turned a crimson red colour.

"Bye Chip." I whispered before shutting my door gently.

Then I slid down against the wooden surface and buried my face into my knees.

How could I kiss someone like that and ignore the fact that I wanted my lips on somebody else's?
I sighed and stretched my hands upwards.I had to practise ballet soon.

Click-clacking of heels reverberated around the kitchen.It was creepy for a second as I lived alone.
Mama?

"Come on Drew...What's the rush? I will break the news soon..."

Why was she here? And what news?

"Yes I know Drew.She definitely isn't going to take this lightly.Drew,she is my daughter."
Okay.

I stalked my way into the kitchen as her voice got louder.

"Drew just relax alright.I don't wanna deal with this right now.I'm having cramps." Her smoky voice sounded stern.
As if she sensed a presence around her,she whipped around to scan me with her big eyes.
