The man then gave me my iced coffee and I went towards the door
But ......
*Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang*
I bumped into someone...
"OMG... I am so sorry" I apologized
"It's Okay..."
The person I bumped into was a guy about my age or maybe a year or two older than me... He was tall and broad-shouldered, with the dark hair and heavy, solemn brows that were offset by a boyish grin. A pair of eyes the color of sea glass gleamed behind square-framed glasses that kept slipping down his long nose... He was wearing skinny jeans and a black plain T-shirt which I accidentally destroyed by my iced coffee...
"It's good that you were holding an iced coffee or else... I would be burning right now "he chuckles
"Yeah... Lucky you" I chuckle "But ... Seriously, I am sorry ..." I apologized again
"No... Don't apologize... I was so busy looking at my phone that I didn't see you ... so it's my fault ... I should be the one apologizing right now" He said, "How about I'll buy you a coffee?" He continues
"No... Thank You, I am getting late my friends are waiting for me" I replied
"How about a rain check?" he asked
"No... Thank you... you don't have to" I replied
"What if I want to? By the way, I am Asad... Asad Khan..." He gave his hand for me to shake
"Okay... Nice to meet at Asad...Asad Khan..." I replied without shaking his hand and pushed the door to went outside
"You know this is the part where you should shake my hand and introduce yourself," He said
I didn't reply to him and went straight to where I parked my car, hopped into it, and drove off to my destination...
---------------------------------------------------------
I parked my car in front of the twins' house, grabbed my bag and books, opened the door and hopped out of the car, locked the door behind me and started walking towards the main gate. I rang the bell, after a minute or two the door opened ...
"ASSALAM U ALAIKUM" Maryam greeted me
"WALIAKUM ASSALAM "I greeted back and went inside the house
"I am making a tea wanna have one?" she asked before entering the kitchen
"Yes, Please" I followed her in the kitchen
"Okay" she smiled
I smiled back and sat on a stool which was near the fridge and placed my hand on the island...
"Where's Rabia," I asked her
"She's at our new neighbor's house" Maryam replied
"And when will she return?" I asked taking the cup of tea from her hand
"She just went to give them one of cake she baked today "Maryam replied after taking a sip from her tea
"She baked a cake for the neighbors?" I raised an eyebrow
"Yes..." she replied with an amused look on her face "she baked one for you too" she continued
"Then why are you not giving me a piece?" I pouted
She chuckled, took the cake out of the fridge and cut pieces, placed them on two plates and put one in front of me on the island and with the other in her hand; she sat on a stool at the other side of the island
