The next morning I prepared breakfast for us. Ate mine and left for work. I didn't know he was in the house or not. I didn't know he would eat or not but I just felt like making a little more would do no harm.
I let it go for now. Just wanted to focus on work. I went to the hospital.
The groups were divided. I met my batch. A nice group of interns. They were all very sweet and helpful.
We all were posted under Mark.
Mark picked me up amongst the group and asked me to join him on a surgery today.
Everyone looked at me with disbelief. But they just dropped it thinking it was just a random pick and I was relieved by that. I didn't want them to hate me.
But I was feeling ecstatic! But its just professional. I shouldn't be so happy over this.
I went to the surgery and he let me do some minor tasks.
When we came out he said " You did a good work today, Stella!"
"Thanks Mark. You helped me or else I wouldn't be able to do anything".
"Are you free tonight? We could go to have dinner."
"
MARK IS ASKING ME TO DINNER!!!??? OH HELL YESSSS!! SCREAM BITCH!! WOOHOO!
"Yeah, I'm free!"
"Okay then, I'll pick you up at 9pm.
Send me your address!"
Me and Mark exchanged numbers and I couldn't keep my feet on the ground. I was floating!
I rushed to home as soon as we got free from the hospital and went straight away to my room.
I took a bath.
Lied down on the bed and pinched myself to check if I wasn't dreaming.
Ouch, that hurt!
Okay, what to wear now.
I opened my almirah and after thinking for a long time I took out
a dusky teal knotted maxi dress with a front slit and paired it up with beige coloured block heels and accessorised with a pair of white tassels.
I did a light make up and let my hair open and I was just finishing everything up when I heard the doorbell ring. I paced, hopping in my heels and opened the door to see a stupendous view!
There stood Mark, with his charming looks in an all black look. He had a dark grey shirt on, with shiny buttons. One could see his godly body shape that was caught up inside. He wore a black blazer and black trousers. He took off his black wayfarer to reveal those amazing green eyes. His hands were in his pockets and he wore the most beautiful smile on his face.
As I looked at him standing by the door, my heart almost skipped a beat. My eyes shone bright on my nervous face. Breaking the silence, he said "You are such a beautiful woman". I couldnt help but blush. My cheeks were flushing and I thanked him with a stupid nod and a smile. He chuckled at my awkwardness and asked "Shall we leave?".
He opened the door of his car for me and drove us to a grand restaurant.
We ordered our food and talked.
He was single. Thats what my ears were dying to hear.
He was living here with his younger sister a few minutes away from my house.
Mark was only making me like him more and more. He was sweet, intelligent, handsome and I loved it when he was around.
After a good meal and a wonderful time, he dropped me back home.
I was still ruminating on tonight and smiling while entering the house when I saw him, sitting on the couch in the living room. Looking right into my eyes with his penetrating eyes.
Then looked at me up and down and asked me in an, I don't know, angry but disappointed voice
"Where were you? And with whom? You came back so late. I was worried!"
"Who are you? My dad? I can do whatever I want. I don't need to inform you my whereabouts. Stay the fuck out of my business!" I shouted at him and stomped off to my room and shut it.
I had totally forgotten about him and I didn't want to ruin my mood because of him. I changed into comfy clothes and soon fell asleep.
