Destiny calls

"Look Shimmer,  I know you don't like to share what's going on but that habit of bottling up every thing nearly broke you. You know when you collapsed that day I was so worried. In the end when you talked about it, we had been able to solve it. Aaaanndddd, being your friend I also wanted to know what was going on, like maybe our sweet little girl finally started to open up."

"Sorry..." I felt foolish for trying to get angry at her.its almost as if her icy blue eyes could pierce through my veil. 

"uh yeah I know that. Now tell me everything. You were kinda distracted today looking out of the window most of the time. You were looking forward to it so much and I know once you want something, it gets your full attention. So, tell me."

"Uh... It was kind of a few days ahead of a few day ago. So remember the day , we left late from the library..?"

"Uhhuh"

" So, that night I bumped into a person, I couldn't see well and why I don't know I asked who that was. And that day nothing happened like he excused himself and we went our ways. I did have a strange dream about it as well but I will tell you about that later. Well the next day guess what?"

"What? You bumped into him again or something?"

"No, yes, ah I don't know. But he was kinda waiting at the same spot I had bumped into him asking if I was the one who bumped into him? I mean isn't that strange, I would've just not cared about it, I mean who cares about a person you bumped into?"

"Hmmm.. and"

"And somehow I said it was me and then we started to talk. You know I thought he was the owner of Missix but he seemed to be the vice-president."

"Now, stop right there. He is not the owner? But he is the owner, its all over the magazines."

"Well, he said so himself so I guess they are wrong. Maybe something is going on. I think its best not to think about it."

"Yeah, I suppose" She had started pouting.

"And yeaah like from that day onward he was always there whenever I was returning home and we started talking. He was nice but slowly I started felling scared and thought that was creepy. So I asked not to meet again, it was so rude of me."

"Yeah totally, I mean why would you even think that was creepy? Was he flirting with you? Whistling, showing any ulterior moves, touching?"

"No, he kept a safe distance between us and Oh My God I was asking about what he was doing there and all. I was so rude. I am so stupid and I think too much."

"Totally right that. He is such a gentleman. So, you were ashamed of yourself when he was the presenter that's why you were so distracted."

"Yeah."  God I was so stupid.

"And by the way I am coming to your place today, you gotta teach me all those whatever nonsense Prof.9 was talking about that day. You didn't forget, did you?"

"What are you talking about(averting eyes), of course I didn't" Shit I had totally forgotten.

"(sigh) You totally did. And also if you meet up with him, say sorry."

"Can't I let bygones be bygones?"    

"No, if you meet him again, you must say sorry." She said sternly.

"Alright, alright (not that I would meet him again)"

After the classes, while we were returning, why would I have even thought that I wouldn't run into him? Now I would have to go and apologize, talk about embarrassing. We were walking through one path and just from the path in front of us guess who was coming? Right you are, it was mr. Dave. But damn , he was handsome. He had raven black hair glistening under the afternoon sun. He saw me looking at him, shit, lets just turn away. Well beside me was another scary icy blue eyes looking at me. Well looking in front was safer. He then smiled towards us and did a little wave. He was gorgeous. His eyes were the color of Atlantic ocean. I did an awkward little wave.Lynette pushed me forward,(I wanted to cry by now). 

"Umm...Mr Dave" I hesitantly called him.

"Yes Shimmer" Him calling my name, my heart skipped a beat.

"I am sorry."

"Why?" He seemed really surprised.

"Its for that day I asked not to meet me anymore because now that I think about it, I was being so rude. I mean you were so nice and gave me good advice but I acted like you know....(I don't know what I am talking about anymore). I am sorry."

"Thank god,......good gracious lord, thank you" He somehow looked so relieved.

"Ehhh...!" I thought he would just say its okay but why does he look so relieved and happy.

"I thought I did something wrong again, thank god" He had started crying saying thank god.

I took out some tissue and gave it to him. I wanted to hold him, hug him and tell him it was okay like a mother consoling her child.

"you want to talk? I am all ears if you would like that is..."

"Ahh...its okay."

"Are you, really?"

"Actually, can I hug you?"

My stomach did a total back flip. "Alright." For the next few moments we sat there like that holding each other, not wanting to let go. Of course it was for a few moments cause you know my friend Lynette back there was totally piercing me with her eyes. And then I broke the hug.

"I gotta go now."

He nodded and said thank you. His blue eyes looked like the calm of the storm, he looked satisfied but the depth of his sadness must have been immeasurable. 

"Wanna tell me something?" Lynette asked.

"By the way did you tell your parents you would be at my place?"

"Ahh....I forgot. Hehe."

"Don't hehe me. They will kill us, call them now."

"Sorry, sorry, geez!" She said getting sullen.
