What Love Is

Serendipity

"I need a break from all of this Kayla"Sandra ranted childishly.
It was Friday(YAAAYYY..) , we had written our last paper an hour ago and were waiting for Paul to come and pick us up.
"Your break is on its way Sandra"I swatted her back playfully.
"Yeah yeah"She winked at me , earning a playful glare .
"I'm single ,remember."I stuttered as we walked to the business school car park.
"It's all in your head lad"She teased.
"Oh please , the guy you have in mind  hasn't called nor texted me since Saturday "I explained , bringing it back to memory.
"Neither have you called him Kayla , putting aside the fact that you were busy."She took her phone out of my pocket.
"Sandra , he's not into me , let's end it like that"I shook my head and looked around for Paul's car.
"Oh I'm sure he isn't , why would he drive to your house at 10pm to embrace you just because you cried minutes ago if he was into you"She ranted sarcastically.
"Whatever,he probably needed that hug as much as I did"I give an excuse earning a burst of laughter.
"Sometimes I feel like I need to send you back to kindergarten , you know that ain't true girl "She looked at me disapprovingly,I looked away shyly.
A white Range Rover , one of the flashiest I've ever set eyes on, drove into the car park. Sandra and I glanced at each other ...damn.. that was the dream .
"Girl don't look too hard , I know that ain't Paul's ride"She nudged me before looking away. I did same.
We heard the car door open and we both sharply turned our head to its direction to check out  who owned a killer ride like that.
"Just the ladies I wanted to see."
Caesar shut the car door and walked towards us .
I glanced at Sandra who currently had the silliest grin ,she winked at me..arghhh.. this handsome fellow doesn't contact me for a whole week and gloriously appears here like nothing happened. He has a clingy polo shirt on that exhibits his perfectly chiseled frame , white sneakers and a dark pair of jeans.
"Kayla ,do you see those muscles ,damn ! You hit the jackpot!"Sandra whispered to me , making squeaky sound afterwards.
"Shut up you trumpet!, He's two strides away from us."I scowled at her before bowing my head. Within a minute,I could smell that goddamn cologne.
He soon stood right in front of me ,holding my chin ,his thumb drew circles on it.
"Chin up Miss K"He huskily muttered .I heard Sandra chuckle ..Delilah..
I swiftly tilted my head up as I try to remember to breathe.
"I missed that flustered face"He said ,my back straightening as his nose brushed my left ear. He's body was pressed against mine at this moment and the warmth between us was maddening.
Hey! ... it's not my fault ,my hormones are taking the best of me.
"Get off me Caesar"I stuttered, saying what I thought was appropriate. When did we get to this level of embrace , I barely knew him. Says the girl who passionately embraced him some days ago- shut up sub conscious mind .
"Hey Sandra"He shook her hands ,She smiled sheepishly.
"Thought we'll never see you again"She said retrieving her hand from the handshake.
"I figured you two would be busy during your exams week so I didn't want to be a distraction"He looked right at me as he said the word 'distraction.' I rolled my eyes.. great ,he knew exactly what he did to me .
"Ahh! ,that was thoughtful Mr Caesar"Sandra said ,  glancing at me.
"It's Caesar , just Caesar"He smiled at her , letting me catch a glimpse of the dimples I had missed so badly.
"Paul's here "I stepped away from them as I saw Paul's car park. I had never been so happy to see him.
"That's my call ,see you later Caesar "Sandra waved as she walked towards Paul's car.
Caesar gripped my hand and pulled me towards him .I flinched , glancing around to see if people were staring.
"What are you doing Caesar! ,let me go."I avoided his eyes.
"Come with me , I'll drop you off"He offered , still having a firm grip on my hand.
"I'm fine , I already have a ride.."I turned to leave before noticing the  now empty spot where Paul's car was parked seconds ago , I spotted his red car on the main road ,Sandra waving her hand .
"That girl"I said under my breath. Great. now I was stuck with Caesar the hypnotist.
"It's me and you now Kayla"He had a teasing tone to his voice .I glared at him.
"This isn't funny Mr Banks"I gained my confidence.
"When did we get so formal?"He lifted his brow slowly almost distracting me again.
"Since you..."I paused , realising he didn't necessarily have to call me during the week ,it wasn't like he was committed to me or anything.
"You were occupied Kayla , and like I said,I didn't want to be a distraction"He studied me.
"You aren't a distraction Caesar"I glared at him..why was I pissed off? ,well he was right after all.
"Wait,why are you mad at me?"He laughed , placing his hands his pocket.
"I'm not"I scowled ,he nodded in amusement ,detecting my lie.
"Erhm ,(I touched my forehead in frustration) I want to be alone"I gave up ,I was already flustered and wasn't ready to make a fool of my self.
"So do I , that's why I'm here"He tilted his head to the side and just gazed at me.
"What?"I looked up at him.
"Let's be alone together"He smiled. That's when I knew I was falling ,so fast .
"Caesar.."I shivered under his touch.
"Please let me be around you"I heard him mutter. I nodded.
He opened the car door and I sat in , completely dumbfounded. the inside of the Range Rover was much more luxurious.
He shut the door and walked over to his side , I didn't blink ,watching his every move.
"He started the engine immediately and drove off ,I tried not to gawk.
"I'm loving the car"I said instead, glancing at him as he stared ahead whilst driving.
"Good , cause it's yours"He lazily said. I almost choked.
"Say what??"I gawked at him.
