My Only 'One'

Chapter 2-Erik

"What is the meaning of this Erik?" Gabs said.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

Erik rubbed his neck awkwardly and offered her a sheepish smile.

" All this while you deceived me !" she said.

"All this while?" I questioned again. Did they know each other?

"Now you got the nerve to kidnap me and involved my cousin too. I should have known something was up when newly transferred hot guy was interested in me. Did you want her all along and that's why you and your cousin asked questions about her and finally kidnapped her. If you even dare to touch Evelyn I will kill you." Gabs said angrily hugging me even more tightly. Have I told you that Gabs can spit fire? Not literally but you get the point right? "I thought you loved me. Guess I am really a fool to think so." What the hell? Love? How could things develop like that in a week?

"Trust me I have my eyes only on you. Haven't you heard when Blake said we are mates. Mates are like soulmates, the other half to us. We are bound to spend all eternity with our mates and love her unlike anything. The questions about Evelyn was for HIS sake, to know about HIS mate. In fact because of your cousin we had to kidnap you or else we would have some time to know each more, love each other more."

 Because of me they got kidnapped?

"Excuse me! Care to explain what is going on!"

Gabs  turned her head to me. Finally! After a long time of being ignored.

She sighed "Evelyn  he is the guy I told you about."

"You mean he is the Erik, your crush,  your new hot transfer student, whom you talk non-stop about."

"Yes." she blushed. It might have something to do with my saying 'crush' and the constant 'your'. Don't blame me. That's how she describes him. 'Hot' and 'my' was mentioned at least a million times while describing him.

From the past one week  all the conversations we were having seemed to be running around him. She even wanted me to meet him and his cousin. But I refused saying I will if it turns out to be something more than a crush. You see he is also his senior so I doubted if this relation would last long. I don't interact with new people quick.

I thought something was wrong when suddenly a new hot guy (as per her sayings) appeared in her school and  was interested in Gabs. And his friend was in my college which created such a commotion in my college that you would think Harry Potter came to my college to study and he was often mentioned by her and various plans to meet him. And I mean it when I said plans cause in that one week itself she asked me at least ten times to meet them which I refused every time. 

"So are you the  hot guy from my college?" I asked Blake

He gritted his teeth and said yes.  What is with these people gritting their teeth and being angry.

"I was in each and every one of your class but you haven't even looked at me. Remember the guy you crossed multiple times and your heart start beating wildly."

I stared at him wide eyed in shock. How did he knew about my heart beat. I avoided that guy particularly because something was different in me when he was around and I made it my mission to ignore him. I don't wanna have any relationship with any one. I wasn't interested in any one. Every one seemed the same to me. After carnal desires. I don't understand this concept of love. So I decided to stay away from the whole male species.

So I wanted to grow old alone with a dog. Seeing I like dogs more than cats. Not offense to cat lovers but dogs seem more cute to me and they are very loyal. But that  guy without even seeing his face something awoke in me deep inside. A desire to know him. A hope that he would be different. But I was scared with the sudden change in me and avoided him like plague. I don't know anything about him. I only saw his feet, his back and the way he walks or stands. That's it. No more. And even that pulled me to him somehow.
