Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 22

Riya's POV

It felt like shit past few days. It was like I was at the fault who screwed like professional screwer. Man! Arghhh! Can I concentrate a bit? He's been on my mind almost every second of the day. And most importantly I missed him. Yeh! Call me shameless but I miss him. His presence, his jokes, his food, yum! He cooks too good. I can't wait to have the Alfredo sauce salad. Yummy pan cakes, oh my gosh, heaven with chocolate syrup on it. Ah! I'm dying! Suddenly my stomach growled loudly that it brought me back to sense were I wasn't at home chilling, well I was at office working overtime. "Alas!" I finally signed my stress out. I was off to work. It was too late and I was like only one alive in this world. I headed to home as fast as I can and entered the entrance lobby. And look who I ran into, Will. I felt like I was seeing my ex, well do I have any? Of course stopped the elevator for me to hop in and gradually I entrered. It was awkward than usual. But still we made to talk and asked him for drinks. I wasn't my original plan but still ended up inviting and was expecting him to refuse of course, too awkward but he accepted as he was waiting for me ask. We got in our apartments and firstly got fresh. I imediately hopped in the warm shower and dressed my oversized sweatshirt which was long to hide my thick thighs and socks with my hair tied in messy updo. I inspected for what ingredients I have and found lasagna noodles and ample of cheese, with some tomatoes, bell peppers and onions and garlic and much more for the night. "Hey!" he showed up. Did I ever mentioned how sexy he looked with the smirk on his face. Oh not to mention his dressing sense was much better than me. I never knew guys do dress well too. He wore grey sweat pants and half sleeved deep blue T-shirt and damn he looked so handsome that never knew when I started drooling over him. "Thanks!" he said while snapping at me and brought me to senses. "For what?" I asked showing my back pretending to be busy, hiding my shame and felt his smirk deeping. Suddenly found myself being a bit underdressed and started to pull down my sweatshirt to hide more. "You look beautiful!" he complimented me with half whispered voice that send chill down the spine. Damn! from when did his voice started to an effect on me! I thought to myself "hmm." this was the only thing came out. Here we again! From the reflection on the glass shelf, found his smirk turned into girn. My face was crimson red already and was frowning. "Son of a bitch!" I cursed under my breath and started to search for tomato paste which was high up in the farthest shelf. I stood on tip of the toe to catch it but failed. I tried again to catch it with the jump. I was feeling like a dwarf and in no time I felt something warm behind me. It was him standing only a couple of inches away from me and bring that thing down. It felt like time has stopped and we staring in each others eyes. My heart was racing rapidly and so do his. I wanted to move away from him but wasn't like something glued me to him. The feeling wasn't alarming but was weird like felt it never before. Our faces were just couple of inches away and our breaths were clashing with each other. No one was moving, felt like forever being standing, but suddenly something triggered to me to come back to senses and moved out of his brace catching my breath. My heat was missing his warmth but my mind was still shut down. I ran for water on the island and drank some water to calm my nerves down. What was that!? I was still thinking of what happened. "I'm sorry." I heard him saying and turned back to find him looking at the ground in guilt. "It doesn't matter" I smiled to him. He looked up to me in confusion. Wait! It wasn't me. I should be furious for 'How dare he groped me?!' It was seriously not me, I was too sensitive on sensing kind of it but how I didn't protested against it? "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean that. I was just tryna help you that's it. Are you alright?" he was seriously sorry I guess he looked. "I said, it doesn't matter. Just be careful next time." I shrugged it and started to take out the things. "Uh we have lasagna noodles and some veggies too. Should we?" I tried to change the topic showing him the things and he nodded. Soon he prepared the cheesiest lasagna I ever had. It was so tasty that I wasn't stopping to moan in pleasure. I literally forgot the manners but, everything is fine with this plate full of treasure. Just in the while I peeked out of my plate as I felt he wasn't eating, caught him staring at me. Our eyes locked for a second but in awkwardness he pulled back his gaze. And then I remembered the scene we shared before. Oh god! Why can't I delete that moment from our lives. It was so awkward and the atmosphere so to much uncomfortable. Each of us was silent having nothing but small talks untill finished cleaning.

'Should I stop him for a movie or a talk'. It was my mind as I was missing our movie nights and long talks. Of course it'd been a while I'd good talk with anyone. "Should we go out for a walk? Just near by, not too long." it was when he found me in deep thoughts. "Yeah sure!" I imediately nodded. We were in the community surrounding walking side by side, having talks. He was trying hard to flirt but me, the badass never gave a chance. Not to mention we were back to normal, thank god. That was so suffocating, can't even stand it. We were just hanging out on the side of the drive way when a car violently was about too crash to me. It was Will, who pulled me out of the way and saved my life. "Are you fine? Are you hurting? Riya! Talk to me!" he was waking me up as we fell down and my eyes were closed tightly. In an imediate jerk I woke up coughing hard. He carried me up, made me sit on the near bench and analysed me if I was okay. "Yah I'm fine. I'm good now." I said trying to bring my brain back in performance. "Hey you both okay?" the man of the car ran to us to check on us. "Are you freaking nuts? How do you drive man?! You almost killed her. I'm calling police for this." he took out his phone. "Man, I'm so sorry. It wasn't me really. My cars breaks weren't working. I just brought back from service but guess they didn't do it right. I'm really sorry please don't call police. It'll be a big issue. I'll compensate you medical bills, promise." he apologized sincerely, but what he said was true. It'll be issue for no reason. "It's okay! I'm fine. It's just mere scratches, that's it. I wanted to ask you, are you alright? And what bout your car?" I asked him back. "Yeah, I'm fine. My car stopped, unfortunately guess forever. Anyways I'll get it done. And thanks for asking." he answered smiling which I returned with a smile. "Be careful....."

"I guess we should live, it's getting late." Will cut me off and grabbed my hand to support me. "Will I'm fine, you don't have.... Ah!" suddenly a sharp pain stroked my ankle. "What happened? Are you hurt?" he asked in worried manner. "I guess my ankle twisted."

"Can you walk?"

"Not really!"

"Wait a sec." and he carried me in his arms in bridal style. "What you doing! Put me down!"
