Chapter 2

Natasha POV

I woke up when I heard the alarm voice on my phone. I turned the alarm off and got out of the bed.

I checked the time and saw that it was 6 am. Shit. I am late. I have to reach there within half an hour.

I walked inside the bathroom and did my business then I took a  quick shower and wore a grey top with black denim jeans.

I walked out of the bathroom and combed my hair and put it into a ponytail.

Then I wore my shoes and applied some lip balm and walked out of my room.

I took an apple from the kitchen counter and went outside of the apartment while eating it.

I locked the door and walked out of the building. I started walking toward the Restaurant.

Suddenly I bumped into someone and before I could fall, that person held me from my waist.

I gasped and closed my eyes. My heart was beating so fast that I thought that it would come to my mouth.

I opened my eyes when I felt a pair of hands squeezing my waist. It was a man who was probably in his early 20s.

I licked my lips nervously when I felt his intense stare on me. I removed his hand softly from my waist and took a step back.

"I am so sorry sir. I wasn't looking where I was going. Actually, I was in a hurry. That's why I didn't see you. Please forgive me" I said nervously 

I tucked the strand of hair behind my hair and looked at the man who was just staring at me.

I cleared my throat and he shook his head to clear his thoughts and said "Hey it's alright. I wasn't looking where I was going too."

I just smiled and said, "Again I am sorry." 

I was about to leave when he grabbed my wrist and said: "You didn't tell me your name." 

"You didn't ask me. And it's Natasha." I said softly

He smiled and left my wrist then put his hands in his pocket and said "Beautiful name just like you. I am Liam" 

"Nice to meet you Liam but I should get going. Goodbye," I said with a small smile then walked off from there.

I walked toward my apartment and smiled to myself when I saw the kids in the Park.

They waved at me and I waved back then reached my home. I cooked dinner for myself then ate it.

The next day again I saw Liam on my way. He was in his running clothes.

"Hey, we met again." He said with a charming smile.

He was really handsome. I mean this is the first time I am admiring someone.

"Yeah," I said then bit my lower lip. 

I don't know what to say to him as this is the first time I am talking to someone other than Kelly.

Kelly is my best friend. She is from a rich family and lives with them.

"So where do you work?" He asked me curiously while leaning against the wall.

"I worked in that restaurant," I said and pointed my finger toward the restaurant.

"Oh," he said then asked me with a smile "Won't you ask me about me"

I just shrugged and said "it depends on you. I mean if you want to."

"I worked in Knights Enterprises as a PA of CEO." He replied back while staring at me without blinking.

"Oh, that's nice. I have to go. Goodbye." I said and walked away from him before he could reply to me back.

It has been a week and that's how we are meeting. I am still nervous around him.

I don't know how to speak to him. I always feel shy whenever he talks to me.

I wanted to discuss it with Kelly but she is not here as she is on vacation with her family.

Her parents are okay with our friendship. I mean they would prefer someone else as their daughter's friend.

I shook my head and headed toward my work. I saw him standing beside the restaurant.

He was scrolling through his phone but put it back in his pocket when he saw me.

He waved his hand at me and I waved back and stood in front of him.

"I was waiting for you." As soon as I got there, he told me.

I blushed and lowered my gaze. I looked up and gave him a shy smile.

"Okay I was too nervous to ask this but now I can't control myself. Will you go on a date with me?" He asked me with a nervous look

I looked at him with wide eyes. Is he joking with me? I mean he is so handsome.

Why is he wanting to go on a date with me? I am just average looking or maybe below that.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked him as I still couldn't believe it.

He laughed softly and said "Why would I? I am serious. Will you?" He asked me hopefully.

I don't know what to answer him. My mind is telling me to say no. But my heart is telling me to accept this.

I had always followed my mind this time I wanted to be selfish. I wanted to experience this. 

I smiled at him and said, "yes I will."

He grinned and said "I am so happy that you agreed for this date. I will pick you up in the evening. Is that okay with you "

I nodded my head and said, "yeah it's fine with me."

We exchanged our phone number then I told him my address when he asked me.

"I will see you in the evening beautiful" he whispered and did the shocking thing.

He kissed my cheeks which made me red like a tomato.

"Bye," I said shyly and saw him running away from there.

I sighed and smiled to myself then walked inside the restaurant.

All-day I was thinking about my date. I don't know what to wear. 

I walked toward my home and called Kelly. She picked it up after a few minutes and said "Hello Naty"

"Hello, Kelly. I want to talk to you about something. It's urgent." I said breathlessly

"What happened Naty. Are you okay?" I can hear the worry for me from her voice.

"I am going on a date" I whispered softly.

I don't want to shout this out loud. What if it was a dream and I would wake up by hearing my voice.

I can hear her squealing from the other side of the phone. I giggled to myself after hearing her celebration.

"Finally my Naty is growing up. I am so proud of you Kiddo. So tell me all the details." She said excitedly

I told her everything in detail and I can hear her happy voice from the phone.

"I am so glad Naty. Now wear something casual as it's your first date." She told me

After talking with her for some time, I cut the call and started to get ready for my date.
