The extra-ordinary life

Chapter 20

"I have been waiting for you!" Sam said as soon as Pete entered the apartment.

"What's the matter?" Pete asked Sam but smiled when he saw that pink pair of slippers placed beside his.

"Why are you so late today?" Sam asked.

"I went out to a date."

"What?????? How is she? Or is it a he? Oh, whatever!! Just say how that person is!!" Sam squealed , "finally someone moved your heart!"

Pete was grinning from her reaction, "When will you grow up?"

"Don't mess with my hairs." Sam pouted. " Hey, I want to meet her, please please please please!"

Pete scratched the back of his head ," You will."

Angelina couldn't sleep well at all last night. Whenever she closed her eyes, Pete's happy face appeared infront of her. She couldn't stop smiling. It's been long since she was this happy. Everything that happened last night seemed to be a dream to her.

She had hugged him yesterday. They had such a romantic dinner too. He also patted her head before leaving. It was the best first date anyone could ever have!

It was Sunday, her off day. She could have woken up later, but she was way too excited to fall asleep again after her alarm rang. She just couldn't help but smile when she remembered about last night. Yes, he likes her too. Pete likes her.. Yes! Her!!!

Everything was feeling so beautiful today, the rays of sun penetrating through the blinds was beautiful, birds were also chirping so beautifully, even the toothpaste tasted better. She really couldn't stop herself from smiling.

She came out of the bathroom after completing her morning rituals when her message alert sounded. Her stomach was feeling weird from growing anticipation about the sender. Well, her intuition was right. It was, indeed, from Pete.

"Good morning :) ". It was short yet enough to brighten up her already super bright day more. She abandoned all her previous plans for the day instantly. Her soul longed for his presence.

Pete sat with his mobile for quite a long time. His heart skipped a beat when he saw his text was read, after all this was his first time contacting her personally. But his excitement died down when Angelina didn't reply back. "May be she is busy with work." he tried to reason with his heart. But could anyone ever successfully do it?

Sam came out, fully dressed in a jumpsuit, and saw Pete was preparing for breakfast. But his face lacked it's usual brightness.

"Did you not sleep well?" Sam asked as she was changing into her heels.

"Huh? Oh.. yes.. no.. I mean, I am ok. By the way, where are you going so early this morning?"

"Didn't I mention yesterday? I guess I didn't. Hehe, sorry I was too excited to know about your date. I have to cover the Derby match today." she opened the door while talking, "bye bye!"

"This kid!" Pete exhaled a long breath.

He stopped making breakfast and sat on the couch. "Nothing good on the TV as well!" Pete turned the dumb-box off after changing a few channels.

"Aaaaarrrrrghhhh!!!" he rubbed his face frustrated, thinking " what am I doing?? Pete, just stop overthinking! She will not push you away! She won't break her -" his train of thoughts was broken by the sound of calling bell.

He opened the door only to find Angelina standing infront of his door in a baby pink dress, with opened hairs. His heart finally calmed down. His lost smile also made a wild card entrance on his face. Angelina blushed hard on seeing that dazzling smile which had the superpower to mess up with her rationality.

Pete ran his fingers through his silky hairs. Angelina said in a slightly breathy tone " Good morning."

Pete chuckled, "Come on in, my lady".

"Shhhh! Sam will hear you!" Angelina changed into her slippers when Pete's arms encaged her against the shoe rack. He was too close, close enough for her to feel the heat radiating from his body, close enough to get a whisk of his natural manly musk.

"Sam isn't at home today." Pete brought his mouth near her ear and spoke. She shivered, but not from panic. It seemed Pete's closeness didn't have a negative effect on her. She made a mental note of this, she will need to discuss her problem in as much details as possible when she visits doctor.

She turned and faced him, "Where is she?"

"She went to work." Pete shrugged while walking towards the kitchen.
"Let's have breakfast first!" he said.

"Was man in apron always this super hot?" Angelina sat wondering.

Pete felt a pair of extremely gorgeous eyes following his every movement. He was generally not an attention seeker, but this time he was loving all the attention he was getting. He made a simple breakfast- bread toasts and soup. They sat down to eat their first breakfast together.

"Why are you so perfect?" Angelina asked after sipping a spoonful of delicious soup.

"I needed to be perfect in order to become your man" Pete winked making her ears turn red.

"Let's spend our day out today since Sam is not at home. We could go to amusement parks and eat street foods, shop. I will buy you anything you want!" Angelina said enthusiastically.

"Or we could spend a calm day at home watching movies, in each others' company, away from people's gaze. Just you and me. " Pete replied, " I mean, not everyday we can get our home to ourselves."

Angelina's heart did a somersault. "Did he just read my mind?" she was amazed.
