Being Enthralling

59. This isn't a dream.

Double updates! Enjoy 💃

_______________________________

Minutes of tense silence followed.

Oh God! Why do I have to be like this?!

His drink came and he slurped half of it in one go. "I was hanging out with friends down the street when I saw you, that's why I called you thrice. You didn't pick up, I shout your name a couple of times, but it seems like you have gone dumb and deaf at a time and seeing you at this time on this side of the city I felt odd that's why I came here looking for you." Isaac explained his reason to follow me, ignoring my comment.

"Oh." It was all I managed to say.

My phone started to ring, the call was from Violet. I ignored it.

"Violet has an understanding that you are going to kill her." Issac said probably noticing how I rejected her call.

"Well, she did interrupt me while I was on the stage." I said looking at him with seriousness.

Violet was shocked to see the gossip monger blast and just couldn't control her feelings. According to her, if there is any person in the campus right now whom I should kiss is Issac.

I mean she isn't wrong......

Get a grip lady!

"Why did you follow me Issac? Aren't you disgusted by me?" I find myself asking him the question which has been bugging me since Monday.

He looked taken aback, a crease formed between his eyebrows. "Why would I be disgusted by you, Diana?"

Unbelievable! Ah, the nerve of this man!

"Seriously Issac?" I took a pause, "I have witnessed it myself." I said the words he threw at me in a mocking tone and instantly got up and walked to the opposite side of the bar where I had previously noticed a balcony.

The lights were dim and the sound of music faded behind.

The view of the city look peaceful, I hardly come to this side of the city because I have heard a lot of scandalous things about it. Today however, it was exceptional.

As expected, Issac did come and stood beside me.

"I'm not disgusted by you Diana." He said and gently took my right hand in his. He trailed his thumb up and down between my fingers, igniting flames inside me. "However, I'm sorry." He said and I raised my eyes from our hand to meet his intense gaze.

"I realize, I haven't been on my best behavior since the diner at Blake's and I'm sorry for my rude behavior. It's just," he closed his eyes and sighed "Things back at home are not going well.... I know it doesn't justify my behavior towards you and I'm sorry." He said genuinely.

I fell into a pit of deep thoughts, but I asked him the question again.

"Why did you follow me here Issac?"

I know it's selfish of me to ask about myself and not about his problems, but I know he won't tell me about it.

At least not now, not here.

He has many things on his plate right now, why does he neglect everything and comes to give his shoulders to me?

"I don't want to sound rude, but you don't have to do this you know. I don't know, sometimes I feel like you are pitying me or treating me like some charity case.

"I didn't want to ruin the vibes between us so I'm sorry if said anything wrong It's just when I  think about it.... It would crush me if you talk to me because you feel responsible to talk to me and not because you WANT to talk to me."

I gasp for air as soon as I stopped talking. I licked my lips and look down at our hands. I feel lighter now.

Issac gave a light squeeze to my hand. I craned my neck towards him. "I know, this doesn't make any sense to you. But believe me, I don't see you as a charity case who needs my attention and I'm not here because I pity you." His almond brown eyes held me in a spell while he was talking. There was no ignoring of the feeling I got when he smiled at me, but I pushed it aside.

A long silence reigned as we stood there staring into each others eyes, drowned in our own thoughts.

His thumb was rubbing gently on my palm, caressing, tingling. I bit my lips to say anything which might, no will definitely ruin the moment. I kept my mouth shut and continue to drown in his gaze, which held me captive.

Wow, cheesy I know, but it feels so good to stand this close to him.

"For some weird reason, I care about you Diana."

I blinked and did the only thing which felt right.

Issac must be true, I have really turned into one of those air head bimbos. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rationally thought to do this.

I pulled him by his collar towards me and kissed him.

And I'm so glad, this isn't a dream.
