Chương 12: Similarity!

"Why are you smiling?" Alex asked as he saw a faint smile on her lips, which was wide enough for him to notice. At first, he had decided to let her smile, but then it made him curious.

"Who said I'm smiling? I just remembered a joke." Anna tried her best to lie and it seems to convince Alex. being a bad liar, was in her blood as the look on her face was quite evident.

But Alex simply let it go because he knew that, they aren't that close to ask and go in each other's comfort zone.

After two hours of hard studies, it was time to go back home.

But as she stepped out of the classroom she saw, it was raining. And this was enough for her to understand that she made a mistake by not carrying an umbrella with herself even when she knew it will rain!

'Ufff… I never carried an umbrella with me. How will I go home.' Though Anna to herself.

At that same time Alex also came out and as if reading her mind, and seeing her facial expressions, he spoke

"Come with me. I have a car, will drop you at your home." Giving no chance of denying Alex started to walk towards his car. She looked at him with her wide eyes but then, there was no option left for her because if she walked in rain, it will result in viral for her!

Anna also ran towards his side and sat inside the car. It was a Volkswagen of silver color and from the interior, it was just a simple, middle-class person's car that was best suited to them.

"Where is your home?" Alex asked as he inserted the keys.

" XX road ABC house number." Replied Anna and she was looking outside of the window. Her many memories are associated with the rain, good or bad but still, she hates it when it rains. It's not easy to let go of the memories easily!

As Anna was deep in thoughts, someone came close to her, and Anna's eyes widened seeing him so close to her neck. His hot breath lingering on her neck, giving her goosebumps!

After a few seconds, she noticed he came close to fix the seat belt.

'Don't think of something else Anna. He is a playboy and you need to maintain your distance with him.' By these words, Anna convinced herself

On their way, it was complete silence.

But suddenly Alex Asked, "Anna, have we met each other before?" asked Alex in a serious tone, which equally surprised Anna as she first looked at his face for few seconds and then replied,

"No, I think. But why?"

"Oh, I just felt the similarity between you and one of my childhood friends who died." This gained her interest now.

"What similarity you felt?" asked Anna curiously.

But Alex never answered. He just smiled and this smile was different from the rest of his smiles. It contained some emotions, warm smile.

Soon they reached her home. "Here comes your house."

"You want to come inside? Maybe I can make you some coffee?" asked Anna out of politeness. Not like she was expecting him to say anything or to agree to her request!

"Maybe next time. After all, we are working as a team and who knows someday I need to come to your home for practice." Said Alex.

"Okay.'

She exited the car and before going home she suddenly said, "Drive safe, Alex." She ran inside her home before he can react.

Anna's heart was beating fast, her face was red as a tomato.

After dinner, she went to sleep but her mind was still occupied with Alex's thoughts

Thinking about him she fell asleep.
