Episode 3

As I was walking down the street, there was a sudden tap on my shoulder which shattered me completely. It was him again.

“ Ohhhhh… God!! Hellll………..p”. that’s all I could utter. He pulled me towards him and closed my mouth with his hands.

I could feel his body rubbed with mine, his hands where so firm. The way he held me in his arms from behind.. I was melting little by little. I could feel his fragrance. His touch was so magical I could hardly resist.

Slowly he removed his hands and warned me not to shout. And there he held my phone in front.

“Miss stop acting crazy, you left your phone at the cafe and so, I had to rush to return it to you.” He explained.

I felt embarrassed at my action, and wanted to run away and hide my face somewhere.

“Am really sorry, I thought you are a stalker.” I apologized.

“What?? A stalker?” he seemed shocked with my reply.

“Miss! for your kind information, I have my own dignity and would never think to do something like stalking.” he tried to make it clear.

“Am really sorry”. I apologized again.

“That’s alright, but be careful next time.” He laughed.

We both smiled and then I realised how foolish I was, how could I think he was a psycho, when he is so handsome and sweet.

“Hi, Am Jane mills”. I introduced.

“David”.

“Am sorry about the other day as well, I mean for shouting so badly. Actually I was in a hurry and I was late for my interview. I was so tensed and just then you bumped... which I could not take it as I was already late”. I explained him.

“That’s ok chill. In-fact I must say sorry, I was busy dreaming and did not realise I created a mess.”

We both smiled again and we finally had to depart. As I turned to continue walking back home, I heard him call.

“Jane”.

I suddenly turned and replied.

“yes?”

“well, don’t you think we might bump into each other again sometime?”

“Hmmm.. could be.”

“So how would I know where you are?” he just said those words in a dramatic tone.

“Sorry??”

“Come-on! Don’t act as if your not getting what am trying to say.”

“Yeah, your right. I really didn't get you.”

“Don’t you think we can be good friends.”

“May be.”

“So what say? Can we be friends.”

“Hmmm.. no.. not at all.”

“But why?” Clearly sadness could be felt in his reaction and tone.

“Simply, because am not interested.” I said and blushed a little. I decided to tease him a little after which I would agree.

I could not stop blushing, but I had to hold on to it.. before he could see. Just then, I could feel as if there was a sudden cold wind that bought a chill in my body. He was so close to me, there was hardly an inch of gap between us.

He then put his finger on my lips, signalling not to speak a word. He then came close to my ears and whispered, I could feel his warm breath. He gently moved his fingers to move aside my hair.. which covered my ears. My body just stopped reacting, I went completely numb.

“You are driving me crazy. The more I see you, the more I want to be with you”.

I couldn’t react. Just blinking my eyes rapidly.

“Don’t ever think of running away, when we meet next.” He whispered again and released me.

“So.. see you soon.” He said in a happy tone and disappeared.

All the way back to home, I kept thinking about him. I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not realise I reached home.

My thoughts where broken.. when I suddenly heard a voice.

“Have you gone nuts? Why are you blushing all by yourself.” Steven questioned.

“Yes honey, you didn't not even notice us nor said hello to anyone of us.” Mom asked.

“ My daughter seems happy today, what’s the matter.. Jane?” Dad spoke as he rushed towards me.

“Look Philomin, looks like she is dreaming about someone special.” Dad said mom in a teasing tone.

“Ronald! Can you just stop it.” Laughingly mom told dad.

I was not able to explain anything to them as I myself had no idea, what I was thinking and what just happened in the street. All I could say was.

“Dad, mom.. there nothing like that, I just met Stella and so am happy. That’s all.” I lied

“Ok then, that’s nice. You go up and get fresh.” Mom said and went back to do her work.

I came back to my room, got fresh and fell on my bed. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. This feeling was really something different. I never felt like this before.

I was lost in my thoughts, I was badly waiting to meet him again. All I thought to do next is call Stella and tell her everything.

I called her, but her phone seems busy, I tried again and this time she picked.

“Hello sweetheart, did you reach home. Are you fine?” she questioned, I could feel that she was worried by her tone.

“Yes, but am not sure.. how long I will be fine.”

“Jane! What happened your making me feel scared.”

“I am lost in my thoughts and did not even realise when and how I reached home.” I told her.

“what!. What kind of thoughts?” she was clueless.

“That stranger I told you today...”

“Wait! Are you still afraid that he is stalking you, babes we can file a complain against him. You don’t have to worry.” She spoke angrily.

“No.. Stella, actually he is not what we thought. After we left from café, he followed me to the street and..” before I could complete my sentence she burst out her anger and I could feel.. how angry she was.

“How dare he, and your telling that he is sweet, bloody pervert. Are you alright, this is getting serious. We will file a complain against him. Don’t worry sweetheart.”

“Stella! Stella! Calm down. It's not like that, he came back to return my phone, which I left at the café in a hurry.” I explained.

“Oh God, I thought he was really stalking. Any ways that’s a relief.” her tone was back to normal.

“yes but I cannot forget his face, the way he spoke I got butterflies in my stomach and you won’t believe.. I was blushing all the way back home and even mom and dad noticed.”

“W-what...!” she said and laughed out loudly.

“Stella! I don’t know what’s going on with me, he is driving me crazy.” I confessed.

“Wow! Looks like someone is in love.” She teased.

“What nonsense.”

“Yes, my love.. You cannot deny.”

“You are gone mad.” And I hung up the phone.

After talking to Stella, I was still more confused. I couldn’t sleep that night, all I did was to think about him. I waited for morning to come so that I could go back to my work and distract my self and somewhere deep down in my heart, I wished to see him again.
