Can i buy you a book?

Chapter 4 - Date or what?

We walked to the nearest coffee shop and rambling about everything around. Its like this stupid conversation. One minute we argue about which band is best and next about how guys always dominates girls. We had endless arguments might I also add pointless.

We didn’t even realize we were there.

“That was fast.” He said a bit confused.

“Yeah, I didn’t notice either.” I said

We sat down on the corner table since the rest were full. There were couples mostly. Just one group of table had friends gossiping about dresses and shoes and god knows what. Their expressions were so amusing.

“You look so stupid right now.” He said and snap.

I looked at him. He was taking my picture.

“What the hell man.” I tried snatching it but couldn’t. He was tall, which means with those hot muscles he had long hands.

“Giant.” I felt stupid once I realized what just slipped out of my mouth. He was laughing so hard.

I frowned. “Aww don’t cry. I will get you an icecream ok kiddo?” he was teasing me now.

I huffed and crossed my arms around my chest. Fine, I admit I was looking like a kid but that doesn’t mean I am a kid. Not fair. But then ice cream wouldn’t be that bad though.

He was still laughing at me.

“What can I get you two?” asked the waitress. She was pretty. Her thick lashes matched with her baby blue eyes. She had a mark on her neck though and the way she pinned her hair I am assuming she tried very hard to cover it up. I think she even used concealer. I wasn’t sure if that was a hickey or was she abused. But then who would want to hurt such a innocent girl.

“If you are done admiring her would you mind ordering? I am hungry you know lil.” He said annoyed and catching his tummy.

“What is with the nick names? And it’s not bad to admire god’s creation.  I would like something light please.” I told mystery man and then directed my order to the girl, Rachel. He badge was worn out. Must have been working here for long.

“Do you want salad?” she asked.

Ok if you are Bengali you would know what I mean when I say something light. It means anything other than rice.

“Umm get me brownies and a cup of cold coffee.” I told her.

“You sir?” she asked Mystery guy

And I swear I was staring at him with wild eyes as he listed at least 7 items for him.

“What? I can eat as much as I want and not get fat. Be jealous.” And he winked. He effing winked at me.

I had a poker face. I was the same. I ate a lot yet less fats. I think they directly goes down to my thighs.

“Whatever. Can you please tell me your name? “ I said a tad bit annoyed.

What do you expect, I am not going to call him mystery man all the time.

“Why? Why do you wanna know?”  he asked smirking.

I would have punched the daylights out of him but his next few sentences shocked me so much I couldn’t

“It’s not a date so you don’t have to know. What’s interesting is you like me and I like how I am annoying you without not letting you know my name.”

“Absolutely not. Don’t flatter yourself big man.” I scoffed. I mean who the hell does he think he is. And am I not a date material? Mean guy. And ok yes I like his looks heck I love his looks but doesn’t mean I like him.

He was stifling a laugh. God he was annoying.

“Big man?” he let it out. Laughing like a mad man. And attracting this many attention. And the girls who were previously taking about clothes were now talking about us. Maybe drooling over mystery man.

“Alex!” someone high shriek made my ears bleed. I turned around to find a very beautiful girl. She was almost his height. She had cute curls at the end of her goldenish hair. She looked like a model out of a magazine. It was heard not to spot her.

“Hey Alexia.” He replied calmly. Wow same name. Are they couples? I didn’t know what it was but I think abit of jealousy crept into me. Shut up , shut up mind. You are not Ashley. You can’t just be jealous for a guy you met few hours back. No, No. I mental slapped yself.

“So Alex huh?” I said smirking.

“Shit! Alexia. Did you have to say my name? DAyum you.” He said irritated.

Alexia laughed and walked to him and kissed him in the cheeks.

I held back a snort.

“ You are so cute. Who is the pretty lady? Date?” She asked ever so sweetly.

My jealousy went out the window. She was a friend maybe.

“No we are just hanging out. I am Julia btw, Julia hethers.” I smiled

“For her but not for me. We are indeed on a date. She is just pissed I declined her offer to come home after we are done with the coffee.” HE was smiling like he won Olympic medal.

Alexia was laughing.

“Sure Alex. You are just scared to reveal whats underneath this manly figure. Could have just asked me to wait till your sex change operation.” this time I smirked.

His face was priceless. Snap. I took a picture.

“what the hell. Give me your phone.” He ordered. Like I was going to even listen to him

“No” I said

“Yes”

“No”

“Yes”

“No”

“Yes”

“Shut up you stupid morons.” Alexia said between her laughs.

“Alexia you are supposed to be my sister. Take my side.” Alex looked at her.

Oh so she was his sister. And I was wondering why the looked so alike. Explains the same kinda names too.

The food came when they were having a staring competition.

None of them even twitched their eyes.

So I threw a pasta at Alex.He blinked.

“You traitor.” He threw a French frie at me. I threw another pasta while alexia was busy laughing at us.

“Ok both of y”- breath “ou”- breathe –“sto”- breath –“p” she said.

We both looked at her and then we both looked at each other. Someone was right great minds think alike. Not that Alex had a great mind. He was a fag with STD. Then we looked at alexia. And before she could react we threw food at her. She stopped laughing.  That wasn’t scary but then she looked at us with this murderous look. I gulped.

This girl could look like a monster if she wanted; before she could have a fit. Alex me pulled me up and literally dragged me out of the café just saying “Run!” and I didn’t have to do any effort. 

We ran till we knew we were safe.
