Love you Muchly, j j [10 best books of all time TXT] 📗

is driving him crazy. But to me these things are far too common when a guy is working in a reputed firm with a 6 digit salary per month. Adding to that driving a man crazy about me makes me feel proud about me and i like to keep it that way so that i can always surprize him. What is life without surprises. Thats one of my quote about life.

We reached the highly expensive, and classic restuarant of the city. He had already made the reservations, and we took seats in our allocated table.

The waiter handed us the menu and he gave me the look question about the drink.

"Whatever the gentleman chooses" i said with questioning smile, raising my eyebrow towards him.

He took a minute and said "Rum for me and white wine for the lady here please"

Thats the second impression. A man always needs to be a man. Just for the sake of his women, he does not change it. I like it that way and a man should be also cautious about what he offers a women and makes sure it was just to keep her warm and not to knock herself out. Good play. I really started to like him.

"So .... how come a young beatiful lady like you came into this renovation of old nasty things" he asked.

"I beleive and i see beauty not only in young and new, but i see it old and relic." i told him sarcastically pointing out that he was too old for me.

"I see that, as you already see the majectic in old and relic by accepting for a date with a man who is 6 to 8 years older.. to you" he gave again that corner lip smile. This time he outwitted me.

"As you are old enough..i dont want to get you older by beating around the bush.. let me get it straight.. why me?" i leaned forward placing my hand on the table to support my chin and looking through his eyes for the reply.

"Well , to be honest , am yet to decide. The only thing what am sure of is you are unique and different from the rest of the girls i have seen and met."

Thats the third impression he made. He is making it clear what he is thinking and being honest.

I gave him a approval smile. 

We had a good dinner and i really liked his every move. I felt it was so casual and every move was not just for trying to impress me.

We drove back and we both got out when we reached near my place. 

"Where do we stand now?" he questioned.

"Looks like its my place.. " i said. He chuckled and said "It was a bad joke."

I chuckled and spoke "I know .. but lets take it slow.. "

He came close by.. took my hand.. and then rubbed my cheeks softly. 

Oh come on i cannot resist.. i moved closer. We both felt each others breath. 

 

And there was a huge light that flashed on our faces.

 

I woke up tapping my feet louder and gasp. that was a dream or no.. it was no dream. It was my memory from the past. The first date with Alan.

I rubbed my eyes and head and got up and washed my face.  Enough of being inside. I made some coffee and took my cup and moved out to the back door. 

It was a lovely garden and i also found some waste materials lying here and there. i dint want to make any changes here on the first day. Well shelly is good but still i have my trust issues. So i moved out to the front door and went to the opposite villa, nightingale nest.

Old Villa, but clumsy and it was not undermaintained as shelly said, it was not at all maintained. I opened the mail box, and took the key. It was old and rusty. I walked to the door and opened the key. I tried to push the door, but it was stuck. I pushed it further hard and ALAS, the door broke. "WOW... that needs to be fixed.." saying to myself i moved further in.

There was this big receiving room and the kitchen to the left, and to the right there was one small living room, and there was  small staircase leading to the top floor. I heard a knocking and scratching of the door, and i turned back to see what it was.

I started to move towards it and i could hear it more clearly. IT was from the upstairs. i slowly moved up the staircase. i saw a small cupboard, the knocking was from inside it.. I tried to open it, but it was stuck.. i tried to pull it harder, but i got myself knocked out and i fell hitting my head hard on the floor. 

Chapter 3 - Running Scared

Background voice-

I Dont think she got herself into trouble. Magic of love always starts only with the trouble. UH HO..  I should probably go now. I think she is good hands now...

 

Cassie's P.O.V

 

I felt someone shouting my name and thudding me like anything on my chest. i breathed heavily and i could see blurred image of a man carrying me in his arm down the stairs. I could not realise much more than that at the moment. My head hurt. 

 

"There she is.. " heard this from somewhat familiar voice. As i Opened my eyes, i saw Shelly beside me. I tried to lift myself up and push myself to sit up.

"UGHH" i groaned. "Keep it lite musket." shelly said. 

"Are you trying to kill yourself eh?" i heard another voice behind my head and turned around. It was Jake. My heart felt some weird happiness when i saw him. But still i dont wish to show it. 

"Why will I take that step when you are around me ready enough to kill me with words of sarcasm!" i replied with out taking my breath out.

"Told you!! she has a great will power.. even when a minute before she was as good as dead.. now she speaks without taking a breath " he sighed Shelly.

"Come on Jake. Be nice" Shelly pushed him aside and brought me a hot cup of tea.

"Here take this. IT will make you feel better" she handed the tea to me.

I took a step and looked at her.

"Why did you go there all alone? i told you to wait! If it was not JAke you would be probably dead now" shelly said.

"I just wanted to go out on a walk. Its not thaat bad."

"How did you fell so very unconcious.?" Shelly asked.

"May be i bumbed into the floor really hard. Am not sure. II.. Rea..llyy dont remember much.. OUCHH" i squeaked suddenly.

"I hurts rite.. Take this sedative.. and get some rest. Dr. Jim said he will check on you again tomorrow. i will clean up and be back soon." she left as she said.

Jake was staring at me. I shook my shoulders and head asking as if what he was looking for.

"huhh.. " he sighed and said "you reaally dont remember anything... becoz  when doctor said that someone really wanted you dead.. i dint believe.. but i found this.." he gaave me stop watch.

I examined it and said "simple stop watch.. may be it was some junk.."

"So its not yours.. ??" he asked

"No.. "

He frowned his eye brow for few mins and then just slipped them into his pocket and said "Ok i will take leave.. keep your legs tight.. dont wander off.. i wont be around for few days to help you out"

"Thanks for this time.. but i dont think i will need your help again.. there are pretty much more good and pleasant people around here to hang around" i replied swiftly. 

he just nodded his head horizontally, walked away waving his hand off.

I dont know when again i slept..

It may be bcoz of the sedative, or the long journey or my mental stress  or my inability to handle my break up.

Cassie's P.O.V

 

It had snowed all night. Its been a long time since i had seen a white christmas. It was so pleasant and nice. I woke up before Shelly and did all the chores. I prepared my spl breakfast for Shelly. 

"Gooo.d..Moor..ning.." shelly said aas she was yawning.

"Good morning. here is your coffee..." i gave her the cup.

"Tha...n..k..s" she saiad with another yawn.. and half her eyes open. She fell on the couch , when the coffee was about to drop i caught it. 

"WAit WHAATT".. Shelly realised.

"What??" I asked her with the same question, reacting in a way that nothing much happened.

"YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OFF THE BEDDD.. and you did... coffee..??" 

"And breakfast too.. And i bet you will love it.." i added.

"Come on Cassie.. a few hrs ago u were literally dead and Jake gave you the PSR..." she stumbled.

"CPR.." i corrected her.

"Whatever.. " she sighed. "If he comes to know that i slept over and you did everything then am done"

"Come on shelly.. am good now. I took rest the whole day. I also had good sleep.BTW Jake wont know. I promise. and why does he matter a lot.. in fact he doesnt matter at all." i said.

"Yes he do.. i saw a light on his face when he looks at you."

"Ohhh so welll you knoww...as if.."

"Yes i do.. becoz he is my brother."

I could not reply anything. I was just dumbstuck. "UMMM.. the breakfast is getting cold.. come on.." i regained myself.

"Am planning to come to cafe with you.. " i said stuffing my sandwich.

"You are going to get me grounded.. " shelly said.

"We aare not kids to get grounded. come on shelly.. if you leave me alone i may again go to that villa .. to kill my boredom and probably kill myself" i gave her that not so threatening look.

"Are you a lawyer?and make some good points by threatening people indirectly."

I just looked at her..

"Alright alright.. i will give the same sentence which you said now to Jake, if he asks me."

I chuckled.

We both left for the Cafe.
