It was only then that Samuel came to his senses , got up from his own position and offered a hand to Rita to help her up with a yet again an amused expression .
Rita stared at the hand offered by Samuel to help her up .She just stared at his hand like it was something alien to her . She was already thoroughly embarrassed . And that was not just once but twice , in a row .
Samuel was rendered speechless by the brain functioning of the girl in front of him .
' Is she even a girl ? Why is she not taking my hand ? Has she fallen in love with the floor ? Guess that I have to try sitting once on the floor too . Maybe it's comfortable . What am I thinking ? '
Shoot .. I have been influenced by her . But yeah , why did she not stay in that kind of ... uhhm !! aw ... awkward position for a bit longer ?Not that I complain about that position but it was definitely a lot closer than we've ever been .
(^^)
' If it would have been some other girl , they would have shrieked in excitement or would have taken this such a hard - to -come- by golden opportunity to maybe even kiss up to me ? Was she embarrassed ? Oh yeah !! She was , she must be .
Heh!! So cute . '
Rita stared at the hand for still quite a long time until Samuel suddenly pulled her up with one swift motion .
Rita was again at loss of words as she looked up at him like he had three heads .
" What ? Thank me later . Will you help me with the English activity or not ? "
Samuel said as he could see that Rita won't be speaking until she's brought back to earth .
Rita looked up at him with what seemed like more confusion .
' What the hell does Samuel think he's doing ? But ... but why can't I be the one of not wanting to resist his moves ? '
Rita was lost in her thoughts until she realized that she was now seated on the bench and Samuel was sitting right in front of her . Samuel was looking so intently at her as if he wanted to study her each and every expression with his own expression be like – ' what are you thinking madam ? '
Rita couldn't take it anymore and hence she burst out with a hint of annoyance and tinted red cheeks ,as she felt more self conscious under his intense gaze .
" Hey Samuel !! What are you gaping at ? Can't you see somewhere else ? "
Samuel - " Nothing . I was just trying to study what kind of a face you've got . I mean not only were you not so heavy as I expected but also you had that dumbstruck expression on your face until I carried you here . Until you fell down and had another expression .
And then here when I helped you up and asked you a question , you look at me with some other kind of expression . How fast do you change your expressions ? I'm curious to how many more faces do you hide in that little face of yours . "
Rita - "..."
' Shoot , he's now even getting good at reading me . Am I just too obvious ? '
Rita - " What nonsense are you blabbering about ? And how do my changing expressions have anything to do with you ? "
Rita asked in an annoyed tone as she pouted her lips , making her seem like a spoilt young girl .
But what Samuel said next rendered her speechless . And not just speechless but also left her heart beating erratically with a beat or two having been missed out .
Samuel came a bit near to her so that their eyes were now on the same level and then he said a bit hoarsely near her ears , " Hey Rita !! Don't pout like that . It makes me want to suck your lips up , got it ? And yeah ... you are my very good friend so I must know your mood so that I can be prepared to deal with each one , that's what your expressions are useful for . Your expressions always give away whatever is on your mind . "
Rita could practically feel her hairs stand with goosebumps all over her body and tickling sensation all over . She could practically feel her heart pounding in her ears and she just hoped that Samuel didn't hear any of it .
Her face was growing hot as she could tell that she was blushing . She lowered her head a bit to avoid Samuel from seeing her red tomato face .
Rita was feeling like her whole body was on fire . She couldn't comprehend if this was a dream or just her imagination . Why , no one had ever said all such cheesy words to her , let alone hold her in her arms like that .
Why ? None ever told her that they wanted to suck her lips up if she pouted and here he was , telling her so easily as if reading the daily news bulletin not to pout or else he'll suck her lips up . Does that mean he'll kiss her if she pouted next time ?
