The space between them were just few inches apart , their noses were about to touch but , Lu YingJun pulled himself behind , restraining his I'll desires for the one laying in front.
' What were you thinking ? ' , He scolded himself ,
He sat on the opposite couch , waiting for the lights to come back.
After a few hours ,
Ring
.
Ring
.
Ring
.
At the sound of the ringtone , Song Mei's deep slumber was broken , causing her to wake up.
She got up scratching her head , half eyelids open, dazed. The hall was well lighted by candles every where. Her phone was still ringing , she took the call ,
"Hello "
" Were you sleeping ?", It was Wen Sao on the line , she knew from the moment when the call rang more than 4 times .
"Jei Jei ! yes , just a short nap !", Song Mei straightened up , her senses were slowly coming back to work .
" Oh ! A short nap at this hour ? " , Wen Sao asked.
"Huh-" , at this Song Mei rose her head to see the time on the clock , that clearly indicated '8:00pm'.
"Are you sure it was just a short nap , and not preparation for a nap ?...well , let it be , I might be troubling you so let's get straight to the point ",Wen Sao wanted to talk about something important ,
"No no you're never a problem ", Song Mei was yet sleepy , she didn't hear half of the things.
"We might not be able to co...", the voice was not clear , it was breaking
"Hello ? JeiJei ?"
"Hel-... won't be coming.....Hello...He-...*beep* *beep* ", the line had disconnected .
'Damn , this has to happen right now only ?! What on earth she was saying ?! ...Won't be coming .....sigh*' , her monologue started again , but before it could continue further there was a text message , but after openings message app , it was not just one message there were 8 messages .
A few minutes ago
Sao JeiJei : Hey Mei Mei , we might not be able to come today .
Sao JeiJei : Because of the storm . I am not able to call you , there's no signal here . Hoping that these may be useful atleast.
A few minutes ago
Sao JeiJei : I don't know you've seen these texts or not or they've reached you or not .
Sao JeiJei : This storm is not showing any sign of stoping , I think we will be stuck here for a day or two .
A few minutes ago
Sao JeiJei :MeiMei ??
Sao JeiJei : Can you try calling me from there ?
Sao JeiJei : Call .
Now
Sao JeiJei : It's okay we are safe over here ,since ,you saw these text ?!, if yes reply .
SongMei : Okay , take care .
She couldn't reply anything else , "What on earth is wrong today , is it because , Chen MingYu bought that indecent thing in the pen drive ? or because of....No that's too stupid to think ! Huh , No way , " by the thought of it Song Mei felt the horror of her future , because if things like this are happening by spending a mere day then what about the rest? , pushing the thought away she said " by the way.....", looking around, " where is he ?" , Song Mei was looking around . Suddenly she felt a cold stare behind her .
"Please not him , please not him , please not him ", she repeatedly said this as a mantra , she shut closed her eyes , not willing to face him while turning around from her left .
There was no one , she stared that place ,
"Oh..hash!*sigh*",Song Mei sighed in relief .
She felt hot air beside her face ,on the right side ,
"Not me then who ?...A ghost ?", Lu YingJun whispered in Song Ears .
Song Mei gulped , not willing to turn around , she sat there still.
"No , .....uh..I wished it ...wasn't...a-a GHOST !", she turned around with the joy of to able to answer to Lu YingJun .
*LUMB-DUB* *LUMB-DUB* *LUMB-DUB*
They were too close again , Lu YingJun was stone cold , not able to react on time , his expressions were unreadable.
But Song Mei had a Wide smile at first but after realising, it faded into a hard blush.
"Ohh", both responded simultaneously.
"I think I need to drink some water " , Song Mei excused herself , and bolted towards the kitchen .
In the Kitchen,
Pouring herself a glass of water, she gulped down in a hurry ," *sigh* , why is the day so long ?" , seriously , maybe because she was left alone at home with a weirdo . But she noticed something .
Something smelled good , not only good but tasty , sweet and sour ! . And it was coming from the covered pan , kept on the kitchen table.
