Quarantined with the Mysterious Guy

07

"You jerk!" I shouted as he took my ice cream bowl and ran away. I knew I lost the hope of retrieving it again so I decided to take the entire ice cream box and went upstairs.

"How does stealing tastes like?" I teased him while leaning on his door frame as he ate like a kid with a toothy smile and shining eyes.

"Yummy!!!" He said and I chuckled. I joined him on the floor leaning against the side bed.

We both ate in silence until he shifted a but closer to me. Our shoulders touched and I felt a spark of butterflies in me. The same happened when he was really close to me before he snatched the ice cream bowl. Doesn't he feel anything? He's so mean.

"Give me a bite." He said with his spoon ready to dig in my ice cream bucket.

I immediately moved away. "No way! You already stole my bowl."

"So what, just one bite." And by saying this he sneaked a hand behind my waist because I was leaning sideways at an angle that if I went any further, I'd fall. He softly held me and took a spoonful of ice cream and moved back. I was frozen. His hand is on my waist!!! I was screaming inside!!!!

The moment I regained my normal breathing pace and sat straight I started a conversation.

"So tell me about this work you do there. How's it?" I asked him.

"Oh great. It's pretty lavish. Like we serve at the garden diner because the inside of the restaurant hasn't started yet. It's so beautiful there. And it wasn't much rush today. The crowd is mostly the rich class because of their pending kitty parties and business deals in the past few months so the tip is huge. And the menu is expensive but the food smells delicious. I wish to eat there one day but it's out of my budget." He said the last line looking down.

"That's nice. Hey before school starts, we'll go there on Sunday. Like a family outing!" I said jumping at the idea.

"Your dad's gonna agree to that?" He asked.

"Oh he's not gonna say no to his only daughter." I smirked and he laughed.

Now we were watching Harry Potter's 7th part in his room. It's gonna end soon. What will watch after this? Ohh we can watch Fantastic Beasts. But it only has two parts. I want to spend more time with him.

"So that's what that sign means!" He broke me out of my train of thoughts.

"What?" I asked him.

"The one that's on your study shelf. The triangle, circle and the line. The deathly hallows." He said and I nodded. "Impressive." He whispered once the story of deathly hallows ended and they attacked Luna's house.

We were sitting pretty close. Almost whole of my right part was touching his left. Everytime he moved or shifted a little, I felt something inside. The same way I felt before he was about to snatch my ice cream. That warmth. He smells so good after he has a shower. His axe body wash just ignites something in me.

I've never felt this way, hope I'm not the only one falling in. But he has too much on his plate to even recognise what I feel.

"Hey I'm sleepy, I'm going to my room. You watch as long as you want. I'll get my laptop tomorrow." I said feeling a bit out of place as I got up.

"You sure? It looks really interesting right now." He paused the film to talk to me.

"Yeah, I need sleep."

"Ok good night." He said casually and returned back to the movie.

I went back to my sleep with a disappointed feeling and slept after I was tired of overthinking.
