Chapitre 4: Chapter 4 left alone
I was left alone with him. What would I do ? I looked at him and he came and sat on couch casually. It was really awkward. He was scrolling on his phone. He ignored me like I didn't even exist. I was standing like a statue. With his gaze glued to his phone he picked up the coffee mug and audibly took a sip from his mug.
He lifted his eyes without lifting his head towards me and scanned me for a second.
" Sit already...." He said in a smug tone. I didn't know why but I felt like I was obliged to do so. I sat on the couch beside him and grabbed my coffee mug tightly and took a sip of it. It was sweet and strong. Bitterness of coffee immediately replaced the sweetness. I would finish my coffee and leave immediately. Yeah that was the plan.
After a minute, I drank the coffee in one go and stood up to go.
I heard a cat meowing. It was coming from inside. I turned towards him and asked,
" Do you have a cat?"
Why couldn't I just mind my own buisness. Why did I have to ask him that. It was none, yeah NONE OF MY BUISNESS if he had a cat or a freaking dinosaur as his pet.
He looked up at me from his phone. He was confused. He said, " No, I don't have one. Why did you ask?"
" Oh, nothing I just heard meowing so I thought you might have one. "
" I didn't hear anything." He said in a straight way.
He could have said that more politely. I heard that again. Anyways it wasn't my business.
" Well then, I am going. Tell your mom I said thanks for the coffee." I said and turned around towards the door to go out but a shadow passed between my legs. My heart jumped to my throat.
"Aahh...." I yelled.
I looked around to see the thing. It was a cat. He did have a cat. I looked at him and he was also on his legs to see the cat. It was really darker in colour. It looked so soft. The cat was pacing the room like she owned it. Her chivalric and majestic steps made her look like a queen. She looked at me and turned her face. Why did I sense disgust in those grey shining eyes of hers?
" You told me you don't have a cat." I said without looking at him.
" It's not mine. Must have forgotten to close the windows of my room."
" So now...."
" Now what....obviously, she needs to leave."
My head snapped to him. He was really going to chase that hairy thing. It looked cute. My mum wouldn't allow me to take a cat in.
He walked towards that cat and said,
" You need to go out. You are at wrong place." He taked to that cat.
As if she was going to understand. He was going to grab her but she pounced on his head and jumped to couch. She landed so gracefully and sat there like she was sitting on her throne.
" Meow..." She said mocking him.
I was chuckling like a maniac. He turned towards me. His ego was hurt. My smile dimmed to negative as soon as his eyes landed on me. He then looked at that cat. He was determined to catch her.
" Help me catch her." He said in a dominant tone.
His so called male ego was hurt. He brushed his hairs with his hand and started walking towards that cat slowly slowly. I also walked down to her gradually. We were so close towards that cat. She wasn't moving. Her ears moved means she sensed our motion. She got up.
"Catch her..." He said loudly.
We both jumped on her to catch her but she was fast and ran inside. We were left with empty air but we recovered quickly and ran inside. I followed him into a room. It must be his room because it was too messy to be his mom's room. There was a desk at front and a single bed on right side of room. A closet was on left wall. The window in the front was open indeed.
The cat was sitting on bed this time. We walked towards her and she didn't jump or ran this time.
" We have to be gentle." I said and bend down on my knees in front of her.
She was just staring at me widely. I hold out my hand to her but she snapped her eyes to him.
I was ignored by this mere cat. My unknown ego was hurt. He came and bend beside me and hold out his hand towards her. She stood up and licked his hand. That was cheating. Was she distracted by his good looks?
He started rubbing her neck. She leaned into his touch and purred. She liked it. She would let me touch her now. So, I moved my hand forward to touch her but she backed away suddenly. She was looking angry. She came towards me in anger and tried to claw my face but I backed away.
" Heeyy stop...." I said to her.
Like should would understand me. I got up in a hurry. My foot slipped and I fell on floor again. It was a loud thud. The marble floor was cold and hard.
"Oyy..." I groaned. She jumped on my head then at table. My eyes went wide when I saw Theo coming towards me in a hurry.
The next thing ,I knew he was hovering above me. I was pinned beneath him. My heart was beating fast. I heard a thud sound. Some stuff from desk fell on his back. His hair curtained his face. His blue eyes were on me. Yeah they were watching me. I focused into his eyes and I could see my reflection. My hair were scattered on floor and my face was red. I was blushing. My cheeks were warm.
My heart was beating fastly. It was doing flipflops. He wasn't touching me anywhere but I could feel him everywhere on my body. His hands on either side of my head. Even I wanted to I couldn't look away. He was magnetic. I wanted to lean into his touch and feel his warmth. I got goosebumps on my whole body with the mere thought of him
What would happen if.....if somehow I felt his touch?
" Meow....." I heard a sound and came out of whatever that was. He got up and went outside. I blinked a several times. Was that a dream? But, it was too real. I got up with a jerk. My whole body was hot and heavy. I was in a daze. I was sweating. Maybe, from heat of summer. I touched my forehead and cheeks. They were burning. I gulped and went out of the apartment. I was on autopilot to my house.
In the afternoon
I was preparing dinner. It was pasta. I was in the charge to make pasta everytime. I didn't mind sometimes and today, it could distract me from his thoughts. What happened today was a fluke? It was nothing. The whole day I was making my dumb brain understand that thing but it wouldn't listen at all. It has its own thoughts. It was imagining every sinful thing in the name of devil.
STOP STOP STOP....
And stop was my mantra for today. Focus on pasta Lyric.
It was almost done. It looked delicious. I covered the pan with a lid and let it boil under steam.
" Lyric...." My mom called for me.
" Yeah coming...."
I walked out of kitchen and went to her in her bedroom. She was reading a book. She looked up to see me when I entered the room.
" I want you to tutor Selena's son biology in the afternoon."
" WHAT?"
" Don't shout. She requested me and I couldn't deny. And what are you even doing? You are free and spent most of your day lazily lying in your bed like a pig. Your brain will start to degrade if you won't use it. Tomorrow go and tutor him at five. SHARP FIVE."
My mom's words were like written on stone now. No one could rub it. She said and it became my destiny. Me going against her words would be considered as a crime more sinful than a murder.
I sighed and walked downstairs. What would happen to me from now on? My life wasn't in my control. I sighed and exhaled audibly through mouth.
" I heard it all. Well good riddance for an hour." Alan told me.
He was smiling cheekily. It made me more annoyed.
" Go away..." I said trying to act bored but in reality I was pissed as hell.
" NERD....." He said and went away.
I didn't take nerd as an insult because I accepted things easily. I accepted who I was. Good or bad. I was me.
I groaned because my simple and normal life was going to become a rollercoaster ride.
