Next morning I woke up with a jolt and had to rush around to get ready to go meet the girl. I was almost late. Not that we had a meeting fixed or anything. But I was late for the time I went to the library yesterday.

I hurried into the library and up the stairs to the section where I had previously seen her. Thanks to my stupidity I didn’t even check the section I saw her yesterday so I had to follow the route I ran yesterday. My feet jolted the same way when I reached. I really hope I find out why that happens so.  It was starting to give me the creeps.

There she was. She was wearing a white shirt and a red hijab. She was looking beautiful. I walked towards her and sat in the chair in front of her. Then again I had to wave my hands in front of her to get her attention. She looked up at me and this time didn’t even smile. I frowned a little bit and reached for the marker I had specially remembered to keep this morning and scribbled on the table a little close to her so that she could see and wrote. “hey, remember me? I came here yesterday too” she replied (or wrote) “yea” and I replied “im sorry I walked out like that, that’s really rude” and her reply surprised me. “its okay, I expected that” I didn’t know what to say next so I asked her name. I should really find more words and things to talk about otherwise this won’t go ahead. “Aria” she replied. I noticed that she didn’t ask for my name. Yet I introduced myself again and just nodded. So I asked for her phone number so that we could talk without ruining the library tables and her response yet again left me speechless. “You don’t have to write on the table, im mute not you. I can hear you. But no I wont give you my number. Don’t take is personally but I don’t like to socialize and “communicate” with people”

And with that she walked away

I didn’t know why but I took a picture of her writing.

By the time I was about to go home , it had started to rain heavily which did not bother me that much since I had a car. I was heading home when I noticed a lonely girl with red hijab standing in one side of the road. She was completely drenched and the white shirt was sticking to her body. It was very tempting. I could have not left her in a state like that so I called her to come and that I could drop her. She was reluctant at first out first but eventually accepted. I was very happy that she did. She climbed into the seat next to be and I drove off. She had taken her glasses off and the rain made her even paler and she was glowing.

I asked her where she wanted to go and she searched for her phone and typed something and showed It to me. “I don’t know where I am right now, I am kind of lost so just drop me off at a hotel or somewhere” I shook my head and said that I would take her to my home. She was thinking hard for a while and let out a small sigh which I gladly interpreted as a yes. I just couldn’t get the goofy smile off my face.

When we pulled up into the drive way, I could feel her getting tense so I looked at her and said that there is nothing to be tensed about. Then I guided her to my home When we came in Alice was busily preparing the table for dinner. I had to call her and point my finger to show Aria to her. Aria was busy checking out the house. Alice looked at me and I nodded which was enough to tell her that she was the one. When Alice tapped on Aria’s shoulder she got shocked and got relaxed when she Alice introduced herself. Both of them shook hands and Alice left to give some dry clothes to her.

I sat down near the dining table waiting for her return. It seemed like ages since Alice came down the stairs. But when I didn’t see Aria behind her I asked her where she was and she said to look again. And there she was, climbing down the stairs like a bride. She was wearing a long red skirt and a black t-shirt which was clearly a bit tighter so her complete figure was clearly noticeable. She had her red hijab was loosely wrapped around her neck casually. I just wanted to wrap my hands around her waist. Alice had to poke me in the rib to get me out of that fantasy
