CHAPTER-5 LITTLE BANTER

     

                               "WOW"

He is looking so handsome, all dressed up in a tailored suit. I admit our job pays us well. My chain of thoughts cut by his voice "you know, if we don't have a ball to attend I'd love to continue our staring session further more"he stated while smirking at me with amusement in his voice. 

 I must say, he is looking so fascinating, but I won't admit it on his face just to add up his male ego"ha-ha very funny"I replied back with sass. "You are looking beautiful, "he complimented me "thank you, you don't look bad either" he chuckles at this. Roman is handsome, good looking, caring on top of that my best friend.

I admit I like him, like really like like him, but I never told him regarding my feelings towards him. I am just scared about our friendship. I don't want to lose him, so I stop where it is and let my feelings to myself. 

I don't know if he noticed or not, but I love him as my best friend, we are continuing our small chit chat session of 3-4 min until I feel something warm on my leg. 

I look down to this not so welcomed creature, my eyes flicker from him to my leg, then my dress wet in Bruno's pee. I am just blank for a second and emotions rushed in my body like lightning speed "oh my god, what did you do Bruno" I yell at him.

Bruno is my neighbor's dog, the dog and I share a neutral relationship, I mean I like him, but from a certain distance, I never bother him but I don't thing feelings are mutual.

I hear sound of hysteric laughter. I move my head to look at my so called guest roman. He's laughing so hard that tears are flowing out his eyes and his hand is on his stomach clutching it tightly in order to control himself.

If this thing happened with some other person, I would have laughed along with Roman like it's really hilarious, but now that I stuck here with dress wet in pee, I wasted so many hours to get ready.

What am I gonna do now I feel like crying a lil bit, like my mood dropped from hundred to zero when he's done with his laughing session, he looks at my sad face "hey, no need to be so stressed up I won't tell anybody, this is our wet secret"with this he started laughing again.Bruno went inside his house I'll deal with him later .

Urrgghhh to hell with being polite I took one of my heels hold it in my hand and prepared to hit him with it "I am going to kill you Roman" I declared he started running in our lawn with me behind him like a lunatic. One heel in my hand while the other is still holding the wet pee sticking gown, limping all the way to catch up to Roman.

The nerve of this man still laughing like a lunatic, what is wrong with this guy, we are panting so badly from all the running he holds up his hands in the air shouting "okay stop stop I apologize but you really look so funny".

I raise my hand to beat him again, but stopped midair as he continued "wait wait, let me finish girl, we are already late to the party. so, let's go up, clean yourself and get ready like real quick. I am waiting for you in the living room you have only 15 mins for yourself."

I open my mouth to argue that I don't wanna go now, but he cuts me in the middle "if I don't find you all dressed up within next 15 minutes, I will take you to the gala in whatever condition I'll find you . So, hurry up before your time goes up" 

"Go fast" I flinched just a bit as he shouted again. I know him, he'll do as he said, so there's no point in wasting my time.

I went upstairs to my room, starts looking for some other dress like real quick. I pick a golden shimmery dress with high thigh slits along with bare back tied with strings only. It's kinda bold, that's why I haven't picked it up at first, but now, I don't have a choice. 

I quickly got dressed and went downstairs to meet with Roman's back facing me, standing there doing something on his phone screen while tapping his foot impatiently waiting for me. Analyzing him for the few seconds I say "let's go". He turned around at my voice only to be stopped dead in his tracks. 

He looked at me up and down, clearly checking me out in the open. His dropped jaw, parted lips and wide eyes are evidence that he liked my dress a bit more than he should. 

I smirked internally, now it's my time to laugh "like what you see, " he snaps out of his daze "Ella earlier you were looking beautiful, but now you are looking stunning, Bruno did a great job" I ignored the last part but from the inside my heart is doing Summersaults in happiness.

Trying to look unfazed by his compliment, I say again " Thank you so much besti. Come on let's go. we are already late, HURRY UP !"he nods and we exit the door. I lock my main door and sitting inside his car...I sighed in relief. Here we go to our destination.
