7. Hot Chocolate and Brown eyes

It's been two weeks since that night and iam able to forget that something had happened that night. if I would have that old Scarlett I would have been still in that trance crying every night to sleep and the nightmares would have become frequent but no, I am having nightmares just two or three times but every time the dark figures chase me I am being pulled by something precisely someone with brown eyes.

Sighing for the nth time I started working on my assignments. I have been doing my assignments for two hours and still didn't reach a certain point.it would have completed one hour before but with all the distractions I am not able to concentrate on it.

After trying to concentrate and continue the assignment I gave it up. Without putting your 100% you can't complete anything. I left my room to check up on lilly and zayreen. It's Sunday and after breakfast, I went to my room to finish my project and I don't know what they are up to.

"Hey, guys! Whatcha doing? I asked plopping myself on the sofa.

" Nothing just watching shit loads of romantic movies," lilly said yawning because she doesn't like romantic movies but zayreen is hopelessly romantic and she made us watch all lovey-dovey movies with her. Half of the time I and lilly had fallen asleep watching those movies.

" Ohh stop it lilly, I know you loved them, you are not just admitting it," Zay said getting up from the couch " and guys do you wanna come with me to get a coffee," Zay asked going to her room " if yes then please be ready in 5 mins" she yelled from her room.

" We better be ready, if not she is gonna take us in these clothes if we didn't get ready in five minutes " lilly pointed towards our PJ's.

" I am not gonna leave the apartment in these, I am going to change." I made a face going to my room.

" You better get changed in 5 mins scar" lilly yelled.

" Ya ya, I know lilly" I yelled back.

We went to a cafe near our apartment. the cafe in which I worked is beside our university and it takes 20 minutes but the cafe near our apartment takes 5 minutes that's why Zay chooses this cafe.

" What do you want guys," I asked them.

"I want caramel macchiato," lilly said.

" Velvet vanilla latte for me," Zay said with a pearly white smile. and I love hot chocolate.it is the medicine for everything. I can live with it. My love for hot chocolate never gonna end.

My nana used to make it for me. I used to ask her to make hot chocolate for me whenever I visited her. Unfortunately, she passed away, it's been a year without her. I have always been close to her. She always supported me in everything. She had been my mentor throughout my life. It's have been hard one year without her.

I ordered our drinks and stood in front of the counter watching the girl making drinks.

" Excuse me," someone said from behind and it sounds somewhat familiar. That deep voice sends shivers down my spine in a good way.

I turned around and met with those brown eyes which are haunting my dreams and whenever I close my eyes. It feels like his eyes are swallowing.

" Umm yeah, sorry. go ahead," I said avoiding his eyes and stood beside him.

" Can I have a hot chocolate please" he ordered his drink. Ehhhhhhh Holly Molly he drinks hot chocolate too? He has great taste then. I internally started dancing. Stop why the hell am I being happy and dancing?

Whatever he likes or whatever he does it's his life and it's his taste who am I to feel anything. shut it up scar. concentrate on taking your drinks from the waiter I scolded myself for my stupidity. he didn't remember me if he had, he would have talked but no, he didn't even look at me.

I took my drinks and went to our table where lilly and Zay are talking and whispering.

" Here you go" I handed them their drinks.

" Thank you scar" "thank you, babe," they both said taking their drinks.

" Zay I think I have seen your brother here," I told her sipping my heaven, literally hot chocolate feels like heaven.

" Umm yeah, I know. I called him to come" Zay said casually drinking her coffee.

I choked on my drink and started coughing "are you okay? Came the same deep voice and the same warmth on my back.

" Yeah cough I am cough okay," I said while clearing my throat and coughing.

" Here drink some water you will feel better," omer said lifting the glass to my lips.

I drank the water " thank you" I said while wiping my mouth with a tissue.

" It's okay no problem. Next time be careful" omer said sitting opposite me.

The table which we occupied is looking like a small table in front of this giant man.

" Umm so why you called me here zayreen," omer asked Zay sipping his hot chocolate.

" What! Can't a sister call his brother to come and meet her? Zay said overdramatically with her signature pout.

" Cut it out zay, I know you want something from me or you have some motive that's why you called not because you missed me," omer said rolling his mysterious brown eyes.

" Oh my god, seriously omer you think of me so little, I don't want anything from you. I just missed you that's why I called you here" Zay said smiling like an actor from a toothpaste ad and looking at lilly signaling her something.

" Oh I see," omer said leaning on the table examining Zay like a cop.

" Stop your interrogation omer, if you don't believe me then don't but iam telling the truth," Zay said rolling her eyes and getting up from her seat signaling lilly to get up. " Ohh and scar I and lilly are going to get something from the store near, can you please give company to my brother? Pretty please, I don't want to leave him here alone, it makes me guilty of leaving him behind, please. Zay requested with folded hands and pouting.

" Seriously scar? Why can't we both go and leave lilly here with your brother" I asked fidgeting in my seat and feeling brown eyes on me?

" Nooooo " Zay yelled startling everyone in the cafe.

" Sorry but no babe lilly has to buy something and I am helping her choosing it, so I have to go with her," Zay Said dragging lilly with her.

" Sorry" lilly mouthed and waved at me.

I don't know why she is sorry, I think for leaving me behind.

Iam feeling someone's gaze on me and from the intensity, I know whose it is.

I lifted my head " umm thank you" I said clearing my throat.

" For keeping you company? I should say thank you for giving me company" omer said sipping his drink.

"No not for this but for saving me from that creep and staying with me all night, I said looking at my hands nervously. and I am sorry for troubling you all night. I am embarrassed. I don't know what Iam thinking by clinging on to you and not leaving you. seriously am not like this. iam sorry" I started blabbering not knowing what to say. When I get nervous I don't know what to say and how to behave. I know I am embarrassing myself again in front of him blabbering like a fool.

" Hey hey it's okay. You didn't embarrass yourself. Don't worry, I can understand so don't be sorry and don't think about anything. don't think much about it okay" Omer said holding my hand. His hands are big in front of my small hands and the warmth his hands are giving is calming me down and for the first time, I am feeling safe and not hating someone's touch other than my family and friends.

Iam seriously not a touchy person. I hate when new people hug or touch me. But with omer I am liking, it and his touch is giving me warmth and making me feel nervous and safe at the same time and I am feeling like the whole zoo is in my tummy, not just butterflies.

I never got this feeling with anyone.iam afraid of my thoughts and feelings. They are too intense for my liking. I have never got attracted to anyone this intensely

I hope I can control my feelings and thoughts around him. I seriously have to stop being a love-sick puppy around him.

I don't want to be in the same circumstances from which I am hiding and running.

Feelings, emotions, and thoughts are person destructions. I don't want to destroy anything in me.

Seeing him makes me feel like he is gonna destroy every wall which I built around me.

I hope Iam gonna stop him from doing so but can I seriously make him stop or do I willingly broke every wall which I made for him?
