The extra-ordinary life

Chapter 24

Her eyes widened on seeing the bed she was sleeping. You pervert, how can you sleep on him like this? Sam mentally face palmed .

She tilted her head as lightly as possible. David was sleeping peacefully. His eyelashes casted a shadow on his undereyes. Sam was admiring the sleeping angel. She slowly lifted her hand and touched his lashes, "Why do I not have such long lashes?" Her fingertip traced his prominent nose, "such a perfect nose... How lucky.. and I have to contour my nose to give it definition." Phew..
She cupped his cheek with one hand and continued admiring the "sleeping beauty."

"Are you done examining my face?" David spoke, making her jump.

" God! You scared me!" She slapped his arm lightly, immediately realising that David was awake the whole time. She lowered her head in an attempt to hide her embarrassment.

"Just admit."

"Huh?" Sam looked up like a guilty puppy caught red handed while chewing your favourite slippers.

"How can I resist this cuteness?" David thought.

He cleared his throat, " Just admit, you like me."

Sam wanted to bury herself .

"Who said I like you?" She said fiercely, avoiding his gaze ,while twisting her hairs around her finger.

David rubbed her head. " Fierce kitten" he said with a chuckle. Sam looked up into his starry eyes. These were the eyes she fell in love with, these were the eyes she wanted herself to submerge into, these were the eyes that pulled her like a magnet towards them. They haven't changed a bit after all these time. Same shine, same brightness, same honesty, same positivity and the same happy gaze still oozed out from them.

Sam suddenly hugged him. " Why did you stop spending time with me? Don't you know how much I miss you?"

David was at loss. He wanted to scream " I miss you too " but he couldn't. He kept reminding himself, "She is off limits, you jerk."

Sam was feeling very low after not getting any reply from him. How long has it been? She felt like she can't keep her feeling to herself any longer. She was choking.

She pulled away, cupped his face and whispered " Peanut..." Oh no! What am I doing? I can't confess so easily, at least not now, not without knowing what is in his heart. What if, what if he loves someone else? Or... Or if he is a gay? No no, he isn't not a gay, I saw him with the girl back then.. What if he says he doesn't like me in a romantic way ? What if he breaks this friendship after knowing it can't be platonic any longer? What do I do?  No no no, I can't confess yet. This is not the right time. Come on, get a hold on yourself Sam!!

David asked raising his brows seeing Sam silent, "What?"

"Ah! I am hungry. Let's eat breakfast first and then report straight to the office."

"Alright."

They called the room service and ordered two servings of steamed dumplings as breakfast.

Sam's phone rang. She grinned.

"Hey babe."

David stared at her face frowning, " Babe? Does she already have a boyfriend?" He continued paying attention to the discussion.

[.................................]

"Finally you are paying heed to my advice!" Sam sighed, which David assumed to be in... relief?

[.......................................]

"Sure thing! See you at my home then! Byebye."

Home? Does that mean she has already introduced him to Pete? I need to see this guy myself.

Sam finished the rest of the breakfast happily. She looked visibly excited.

They checked out of the hotel and started their journey back to the office.

"Sam.. I.. I was thinking of visiting your house this evening. It's been a while since I last went there."

"Why do you need to inform beforehand? Just come whenever you want to. Our door is always open for you, My Lord."

It was nearly six when Sam and David entered the apartment. Pete was as usual, busy in the Kitchen preparing dinner.

"Make an extra serving" David said.

"Good joke! I need to make atleast two extra servings for you." Pete replied.

The bell rang and Pete's eyes sparkled. David was about to get up to open the door, when Pete said "Let me get it."

"Oh" David was sulking. Pete seems to like this guy too.

"Hi!" Angelina said smiling.

"Hey!"

Angelina entered and changed into her slippers. She noticed an unknown guy sitting on the couch. Quite good looking! She raised her head shooting a questioning look towards Pete.

"It's David. My best friend. Remember? I mentioned to you before."

"Ya, I remember now."

"Jello!" Sam came out after taking a shower. She was in her pikachu pajamas. " I have so much to tell you! Wait, let me dry my hairs. I will be quick!"

Sam entered her room to dry her hairs. Angelina walked towards the washroom.

" Is anyone else coming to dine with us?" David asked Pete.

"No, why?"

Eh? But didn't Sam invite her bf over?

"Who is that lady? She looks pretty." David said casually.

But he immediately regretted asking this. Pete gave him a death glare and went back to cook.

Angelina was currently sitting infront of David. She really wanted to befriend him, so she can get to know Pete better.

"Hi!"  she decided to break the awkward silence.

"Hey!" he replied.

"I am-" before she could complete the sentence, she heard Pete call "Angelina, I need some help over here."
