Anastasia:
"-nd he took her to date. She then kissed him and they both professed their undying love for each other . Then they eloped together and finally lived happily ever after with dozens of kids." Sera ranted in one breathe.
"God! no. Were you even listening to me?" Sera was a book nerd and a hopeless romantic. I wanted to talk someone . I just wanted someone to listen me without their two points input. Why did I even thought it was great to tell Sera about what went between me and Zack. Obviously I didn't mention our names, I just started the conversation in the form of a made up book.
"So, what happened after that? Is the guy able to woo her over?".
Now what am I supposed to say? Oh let me take a peek at my future, then I will tell you. Stupid Ana! You should have kept your mouth shut. My subconscious scolded me.
Giving her a sheepish smile I told her, " I'm yet to read after that. But I think it will be weird if they got together. The guy's parents and other view them as siblings. If they come out People might consider them as freaks. It will pretty awkward and kind of taboo."
" Naah, As long as they not blood related their nothing freaky about it. I think every story is kind of taboo in its way." She heaved a sigh. "I have stories in which almost every love is forbidden but isn't what it's makes desirable. "
"So, it's all about the thrill and chase of achieving the untouchable. If they get it, the fire within them for it will die down?" My stomach churned at that thought. It left a bitter taste in my mouth.
"No, no,no. You got it all wrong. The chase, the thrill what makes all love stories unique. It is never love if the fire gets died down. It's not love if we want something for a time being. It will be called not love hun." It's been two days Zack took me out for 'date'. I have been avoiding ever since by not accepting his calls
-'We need to talk' is all he messaged me an hour ago. He didn't mention what time though.
"Don't you think the guy in the book is up for something. His sudden interest in the giry is baffling." I asked her quietly. I never thought of Sara to be so quick and witty. I'm really enjoying at the same worried about our conversation. This is something I wish I could talk to Zack but since I am avoiding him , Sera will do.
"Didn't you say he is rich." She inquired.
"Yeah, He is a billionaire." Zack is real life Richie Rich without all those extravagant thing and the dog named Dollar.
"I don't think he has any ulterior motive. Even if the girl was rich, her money won't serve him any good for he was a fucking billionaire. I think he genuinely cares about her. Didn't you tell he was there from her first baby talk till her becoming a grown women. Its natural for the person to feel something if they have around someone too much. Her growing up only intensified his feelings. He just want a chance with her. I don't see anything wrong with him pursuing her."
He doesn't want a chance. He wants a start off. He thinks him and I are the endgame. I couldn't tell her all these things.
"Maybe." I muttered in response.
"Plus I think somewhere in the girl's heart he already has a special place. If she didn't like him she would have outright rejected him or would have not appreciated his efforts on their first date. But She did neither. She could have turned to a nasty bitch to make him reject her. She clearly was in denial, she just needed a little push to acknowledge her feelings. I hope their story come out great." She talked all wisely like an old sage
"Me too." I then let out a quiet gasp at my own subconscious.
No, you won't go that lane. You need to study, take over dad's company and create your own future. I mentally chided myself.
There are very few customers in the cafe. For my last hour shift there were a couple of girls came . I wanted to complete my homework so, I asked Sera if she could attend the cash booth for the rest of the evening. She agreed to me . She is such a sweetheart.
I was nearly done when George, our manager told it's time for to close the cafe for there were no customers for the evening to attend.
Fifteen minutes later. I arrived at home only to find it empty. Something caught my eye in the counter. It was a sticky saying Geneviève and Dustin will be rather late.
Oh well! House to myself.
I went to my room. I took a hot shower. It immediately relaxed my muscles, I could literally feel the tension leaving my body. Both school and cafe have been hectic. I just need a little time to adjust myself since I am practically new to work life.
I turned off the shower. Patted my body dry and wrapped a towel on my wet hair and wore my pajamas.
I quickly made my self some salad and sandwich to eat. In no time, I threw myself on the bed and lulled myself to sleep.
Seconds, minutes, hours I don't how much time left by I was woken up to someone playing with my hair.
I realised two things; there was an intruder and I was laying on a very warm solid check. I opened my eyes, I blinked a few times to get rid of the blurriness.
"Zack." My voice came out a bit groggy. As I realized the situation I shot out from his embrace and tugged the comforter to my chin.
"What are you doing here?"
He didn't seem ashamed of being caught instead it was as if he was anticipating for it.
"Mom said they won't be home till tomorrow evening , they spending some alone time somewhere. I thought you might company since you are all alone."
"You could have stayed in your room."
"I could have but I don't want to." He retorted me. Cheeky bastard.
"Seriously Zack" I peered at my phone. It's past two o'clock.
He just shot me a smug smile.
Suddenly he yanked me towards him , so I was kind of on top of him.
I thrashed around his hold but he just tightened his hold around me and kept me in his iron grip. Damn it!
"Enough, I just want to sleep next to you. You ignored two days remember, you owe me this."
He pulled the back of my head in his chest. I stopped flailing around it's useless anyway he is more stronger and can tackle easily.
I poked his chest and softly said," I don't owe you anything. "
"Yeah,yeah. Sleep now." He said
I was exhausted, with him rubbing my back lulled me back into sleep but before that I head a kiss on my hair and him saying," You are off the hook for now. Don't think I will let it go for you to ignore me."
