This chapter is dedicated to daydreaming24-7

" and so I had to run out of there as if the world was on fire behind me !
All because of you! "

I yelled , red in the face. Phoebe stared at me as if I had grown a second head , then blinked .

" why are you appearing so upset ? "
She questioned , staring right at me . I chocked on the cold coffee that I was drinking .

" It's nothing " I shook my head . She didn't believe it by the look on her face.
I ignored her and looked ahead. 

Looking at my watch , I was surprised to see that it was the end of lunch  "anyway , you should go now "

She nodded and headed out of the cafe.
I looked out of the window , it was a pleasant day , the sun shone bright , live music played behind me .

I closed my eyes and those eyes flashed in my mind . Those charcoal black eyes , they were always there whenever I closed my eyes. Never leaving my mind since the first time I saw them .

I heaved a sigh and got up to leave , the door bell rang and resonated in the cafe . I looked up and was hooked again.  They were staring right back at me .

Those eyes . Just as I remember them . 

The only difference this time was that I could see his perfectly sculpted face . The sharp jawline , tattooed arms . A powerful aura surrounding him , the serous expression that he carried was enough to scare anyone away .

That's when I noticed how his eyes were staring right through me . As if looking at my very soul , trying to figure out my being .

Fuck .

I gulped and my left eyebrow rose on it's own accord . I was pretty sure I looked as if I was challenging him to come at me . I saw a smirk forming on his face and I swear my heart skipped a beat. 

I was forced out of our battle when I saw the arm dangling around his own.  The blonde that was clinging on to him like there was no tomorrow. 

My jaw clicked and my expression hardened . I looked at him again and saw that his smirk was gone and his eyes were searching for mine .

I looked away and put on my sunglasses . I could feel his gaze burning through my head but I didn't look at him and walked towards the door. 

Just as I was about to walk past him , I felt a strong force behind me and I stumbled forward , right when I was about to fall , strong arms supported me and hawled me at my feet in an instant .

I tried to move away from him but he didn't let me . I looked up at him as he stared down at me . My sunglasses were long gone , our eyes battled . I was sure that the intensity could be felt from a mile away. 

I cleared my throat and didn't miss the way his lips lifted up from the corners .

" Thank you " I whispered in a hushed voice but surprisingly it came out strong . He nodded and bended towards my ear .

" You're welcome but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't hide yourself from me " he said in a horse voice , referring to the sunglasses .

He handed me my sunglasses and smirked down at me . My eyes narrowed and I was about to say something when the blonde girl came out from behind him .

" Are you alright , baby ? " I held in a scoff  while listening to the fake concern in her voice .  He just nodded .
Not taking his eyes off me .

I wore my sunglasses again and sent him a short nod before trying to move away .

Key word : Trying .

He held my hand and I was about to question him when I felt a small piece of paper in my hand . He smiled when I looked up at him .

My eyebrows shot up and my mouth was left agap at the beautiful sight of his smiling face . I took a deep breath and looked down , my face broke out into a smile as well .

I shook my head and bit my lip . His eyes followed my action and his arm around my waist tightened . This time I couldn't hold in a chuckle and pressed at his chest .

But I was surprised when I felt the way his heart was racing under my palm .

" Your heart is racing " I whispered .

His eyes closed and my world almost stopped when he opened them again. 
A whirlwind of emotions swirled in his eyes . 

I couldn't bare to look at them for long so I quickly moved away and out of the cafe .

My thoughts jogged as did I . I could feel his eyes following me as I moved out of
view . I brushed my hair with my hand and took a deep breath .

That was an intense first encounter to say the least . I walked home and tried to calm my racing heart .

I felt the paper in my hand and hesitated before opening it . My eyes widened at what was written :

I wanted to give you this the next time we met and I'm glad we did . Let's meet again soon , eh?

In hopes that you will contact me soon , I'm giving you my number .

- Dash .

I stared at the piece of paper and closed my eyes . I leaned back on the couch and rubbed at my forehead when I felt a headache starting to form .

I wanted to call him . I did . But I couldn't. 

Dating and relationships were not for me . Especially not in my field of work.  I couldn't have or give false hope to anyone.

Especially not him.

Still , I saved his number in my phone and soon drifted off into a slumber without noticing .

----------

I was lost in thought the whole time I was in the cafe after she left . My face stoic but my heart trying to escape at the pace it was pumping .

My heart .

That's what she felt before leaving. This irregular beating of my heart . I can't understand it either .

" so , you get it ?" Rachel asked as I looked at her . I sighed and nodded . I was annoyed at everything right now and it showed but she was too oblivious to notice. 

I remembered the way she looked at me , the way her hand fit perfectly in mine . The way her smile lifted her whole face . The way her eyes challenged me , as if asking me to take her right then and there and the way she bit her lips .

Shit .

I could feel myself get hard at the mere thought of her . It was dangerous . The way I reacted to her.  I shook my head to calm down my raging hormones and looked out of the window .

Waiting for her to contact , hoping she would make a move . Waiting for her to call me soon .

Waiting for her to come to me before I lose it.
