One by one, everyone was hitting the dance floor. Soon, it was just Ria, Rony, Jacob and Me….
I found the great chance to escape. I stood and turned to see nothing but Ria and Rony liplocking. Yukkkkk! It feels so dirty to see… it is not like I have not tried it but still.
Jacob was familiar with the scene, so he was trying to sit comfortably in his place. Why is he getting uneasy? He is or He was a playboy too…. By seeing the level of his discomfort, I don’t think so… he is… but he was one of the most rumored person during college time.
I don’t want to interrupt their moment, but I have to do it… i can’t bear more anxiety… I cleared my throat, they immediately jumped apart. I said, ” Guys! Sorry… to disturb you.. but I gotta go.. i am feeling tired… i will see you next time”. I was answered by, ” No… you can’t… we all are here… You can’t leave early… you… know enjoy a little”, Riya announced. I was about to deny it but Rony spoke, ” Maya… enjoy a little… go crazy.. a little.. you know be a bad girl… today..”. I shrieked,”No”.
Before I could say anything, Riya dragged Jacob ahead and Rony gave my hand in his. My jaw was left open. Before I could deny it, Jacob had a weird sly smirk on his face. Which was enough to give me haunts for the next few days. I turned to say ‘no’ and Riya announced, ” Guys, comfort yourselves, it will be better… We know how busy you two are… but you two are not going anywhere, we have something to share”. Then they rushed to somewhere, good knows where? But it seemed urgent.
As soon as they left, I immediately dragged my hands away from his. He was still wearing that smirk.
God knows how hard I was trying to escape, but all I can do was to end up here!! I gulped by looking at him and he said,” Hii, Maya, Finally….”. I forced a smile and said,” Hi… JP” stressing more on JP. He chuckled and said,” Oh come on… why you run away every time you see me? I don’t bite you know”.
I answered with my teeth gritted,” I don’t run, I just don’t like being around… you… And I am aware of whom you bite… okay..”.
I turned to leave, I just hate him for him being a cliche… i don’t know but he screams trouble whenever he his around. God knows! How? I had a crush on him at first… he…. he is such… a… player…
It’s not like I have any problem with him being a player, he can do whatever he wants! I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIM!!!!
I grabbed my wallet and cellphone and was about to leave but the bitch inside me was eager to put him in his place. So I turned and said,” If somebody asks where I am? then say them that I am hooking…. up… with… some stupid.. asshole”.
I rushed towards the exit and didn’t bother to have a second look. After , I reached out I booked myself a cab and it was showing that it was few minutes away, when I realized that I forgot my jacket inside…. SHIT!!!! I have to return and take it.
I somehow dragged my feet inside… And the scene which I saw was obscene to my eyes. Yukkk!!!!
I saw a girl sitting on Jacob’s lap. She was busy licking… and kissing his jaw line. She was good in looks but she dressed for the sake of wearing them. She had almost everything from her top spilling out. Her skirt was long enough to show off her panties.
Soon, they started playing tonsil hockey and yup! I was observing this shit. I tried spotting my jacket but it was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, I saw them making out on my Jacket!!! Ewww!!!
I made a mental note to wash it thrice before using it next time. I moved towards them and cleared my throat. But they seem so lost in their bubble that they didn’t notice me standing there observing their heated scene.
I sighed loudly out of frustration and that’s when his eyes turned towards me. He immediately pushed the girl away and said,” Uhmm.. Maya..”. I didn’t bother to have an eye contact with him. I answered,” My… Jacket… you are sitting on it…”. He said,” Oh…” and handed it back to me….
I picked it up with my two fingers and ensured to hold it at a hand’s distance. I reached out and got my cab waiting. I slid inside immediately.
I was feeling so worse and devasted… why do I run whenever I am around him? Why it hurts me to see him like in the previous situation? Why don’t I like it when I hear his so famous hangover stories? Why he is… always on my head… why?? When I have my love why to bother about him?….
I decided to wash my head but then I realized that whom I was waiting for? Who is invisible to me from past six years? Who does not bothered to share his name?…
I was mourning over my thoughts and was trying to regain my composure. I was so lost in reverie that I didn’t notice I already arrived at my home…
I paid the cab driver and made my towards my only place to regain my peace. I crossed the foyer and reached the elevator.
Waiting for the elevator is the most irritating thing when you are in hurry to go somewhere, that’s what I am feeling now!!
I punched 7 on the board. Yeah, I stay on 7th floor. I removed my keys in order to just rush and fall on my bed. The door opened and I hurried outside the elevator.
I opened my door and noticed pitch darkness all over my place. I didn’t remember that I turned of? God knows , Maybe I forgot…
I moved inside and closed the door behind. I switched the lights on and what I saw was unbelievable.
I saw a picture and a page pinned on my wooden tea table placed with a knife. I didn’t remember that I was that angry? When my gaze moved across the room and saw a bouquet of red roses….
I was shit scared, I was sweating badly… I carefully reached the tea table and gulped hard, before having a glance at it.
I saw ” I am back!! My lady” written on it. My body started shivering and when I saw the image, it was me and him kissing with our tilted crowns, it was clicked on prom night.
I checked all the corners of my apartment but he was no where. I was scared a little, you know he is possesive…
I didn’t know that I should be happy or scared…
I whispered to myself,” Welcome back, Mr. Mystery”.
