My Fantasy Became True

chapter -23

I raced towards my apartment building as soon as I stepped out of his car. I don't want to see him...ever!

Unlocking the door of my apartment I stepped inside and slammed it shut behind me. How could I have been so stupid? I told him something I am not even sure about. Damn it! I squeezed my eyes shut briefly leaning back against the door. What was I thinking? A shudder ran through my spine as I recalled my words -I can't stop myself falling in love with you. oh god! I can't believe I said that. Ground swallow me up now, please!

I made my way to the room exhausted. Putting my things away I changed into more comfortable clothes then curled up in my nice clean bed and switched on the Television but my mind drifted back to what happened today. Do I really love Richard? or I am just mad at him for kissing someone else other than me or It is because of seeing Harry with Jane?

" Ah...," I groaned grabbing another pillow and shoving it over my face. I am truly a perplexing human being. I am not even sure that I like Richard. Well, I think I do like him...I think. But one thing I am sure about is that I have made everything between us so awkward and for this I should get an honorary award in stupidity.

Absently I picked my cell phone and searched for Richard's number. My finger hovered above his number thinking, Should I call him? I should call him! and with that, I selected his number, before it connected I hung up. Probably not today. I hurled my mobile aside.

I stepped inside the office with one intention today that I am going to fix everything between me and Richard but turned out he was on leave today. That's strange he never takes a day off.

It's been one week now and Richard still didn't show up at the office. I began to feel worried for him. I hope everything is fine with him though deep down some part of me believes that he wants to ignore me. I tried to hate him for some time but failed miserably, to be honest, I am missing him.

Today is Sunday and as usual for a Sunday I woke up late, I decided to take a walk in the fresh morning air. For the first time in my life, I voluntarily went for a run, I found my sweat pants and a T-shirt. After an hour of a stimulating walk in the fresh air, I reached my apartment. Putting on music on my phone I began preparing for breakfast.

"I set fire to the rain watch it pour as I rain," I recite the lyrics loudly as I slice the tomato. This is my favorite song. I hummed the whole song grilling the bread. Suddenly my phone rang bringing the song to an abrupt stop.

My stomach twisted as I saw Harry's name on my screen. Bloody hell! why is he calling me?

I took a deep, steady breath before I received his call. Just be cool.

" Good morning," he said, His tone was clipped, calm, and polite.

" Hi...Good morning..." I don't recognize my own voice. I was all breathy.

"I hope I am not disturbing you,"

"No, of course not"

"Do you have any plans for today?" he asked. My breath hitched. Breathe, Somya, breathe.

"No... not really."

"Good. Would you like to accompany me today for the fundraiser event?"

What! accompany him! My inner goddess started dancing up and down in joy. Without wasting much time I replied." Sure, I would be honored,". I couldn't stop grinning.

" I'll send Enzo to pick you up then" I could hear his smile too.

"Okay, I'll see you there," I was all gushing and breathy- like a child.

" I look forward to it," he said politely and hung up.

I was ready in my white polka calf-length dress. My hair curled and clipped in a relaxed half ponytail. I spent so much time curling them, so I hope they look good. Locking my apartment I went downstairs. As expected Enzo was waiting by the car in his charcoal suit.
