"Hello?" I answered with a shaky voice. I was clearly nervous so I tried to take deep breaths and calm myself down.
"Dior, could you come outside for a bit?" his voice was calm as usual. But wait, what?! Was he really outside my building?!
The shock was apparent in me that I didn't even talk. I was blank. I was in pj's for God's sake!
"Hey, breathe," he carefully said.
"Are you really outside?" I blurted out. Of course he was. Otherwise why would he ask you to get out Dior? What should I wear?
"Yes."
"Okay just give me a few minutes," I replied hurriedly. I began freaking out at my appearance.
"Sure."
Damn it. I looked at my appearance in the mirror. I looked horrible with fluffy pj's and glasses. I didn't want to get changed but I didn't want to get in front of him like this either. So I opted for light mummy jeans and an oversized beige jumper that I tucked inside. I combed my hair and left my glasses on. I quickly wore my white sneakers. I sprayed some perfume and rushed out with my phone.
I tried to run down the stairs but I couldn't. So I quickened my steps. My heart was pounding in my chest knowing that I would be seeing Ryan.
As soon as I got out of my building, my eyes searched for him and then I found him.
He was standing under a big tree which had its leaves blowing some wind to him. He looked utopically gorgeous. That was until I realised that there was a crowd of girls gathered around him. They were trying to talk to him or to take selfies with him.
I might have forgotten to add that not only was Ryan a smart hot nerd, he was conveniently rich with a chain of hospitals to inherit. Which was also why many girls wanted him, he was the eligible bachelor that even stars wanted but he always kept a low profile. No one knew much about him. All the assumptions were just from hearsay here and there.
I stood there looking at how he was trying to be polite and smile while saying nothing.
Obviously the girls in the dorm were curious as to what Ryan was doing in front of the building here at this time. Even I was curious. He was so sexily dressed as usual with a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a white shirt and an oversized dark blue jumper on top. His eyes were searching until they met mine. He smiled and I froze.
I couldn't walk as my knees were weak. Not to forget that I didn't even look that great.
This guy was making my heart flutter and I was losing control over it. I had to keep this barrier between but how..? How could I when he was like this towards me?
As soon as he noticed me, he made his way out of the crowd and started walking towards me. I was still in that same frozen step. All I could do was watch him walk towards me, with my eyes not leaving his. I was fully aware of the girls watching us behind him.
And then he was in front of me... He kept looking at me and smiled. I blushed and looked away.
"How come you're here? I thought you'd be at the party," I said quickly.
"I didn't go," he replied.
I looked up to meet those beautiful eyes.
"Why?" my voice was weak.
"I knew you wouldn't be there," his tone was serious. My heartbeat quickened.
"Your friends?" I asked with an inquisitive brow. I was curious. That was probably the first time he didn't go to a party with his friends.
"Ah they're old enough to manage without me now," he chuckled. I felt my skin becoming hot. I was blushing again.
"Anway, I came to give you this." I didn't notice that he was holding a bag. He reached out his hand for me to take it, which I did. I was a bit surprised. "I thought you'd like it."
"What..." I trailed off. My mind was too blank to figure out what to say.
"You looked a bit pale earlier that's why," he said. What?! How did he know it was my time of the month? I unconsciously touched my face.
"Pale?"
"Alright you go inside now, it's still cold out here. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" he smiled.
"Okay," I managed to get out only one word. My ears were hot in this cool weather. "Uhm, thank you. I'll just head inside then," I knew I was being awkward and I knew that he could see it.
But he didn't laugh, he just smiled at me, and it was genuine. I turned around and started walking towards the door.
Before entering, I turned around to look at him. And he was still there. His hands were in the pockets of his jeans. He was looking at me. He mouthed "goodnight" to me. I was so shy. I waved at him and headed inside.
When I got in my room, I opened the bag and saw that it was filled with chocolates and ice cream. Wow, so he knew. I changed into my pj's and started digging in while watching netflix with a small smile on my face. My heart was fluttering and I knew it.
