BROVE BLOVE UNTIL LOVE

Chapter 20: Falling for her?

Prouker

When I entered the ballroom, there she was; standing confidently with her sisters.  She was the definition of beauty, I couldn't take my eyes off her as she wore that black dress, I really missed seeing her that close because she has been weird this month.

When we ran into them after they had bought the dresses, I felt her looking with disgust and each time I heard her door closed I went quickly downstairs but never caught her, she seemed to run away from me. She took her car and avoided any contact or sparing even any glances towards me. I just don't know but her mood seemed to be off, even she is kind of a pink person so why a black dress but surely it looked so damn elegant on her. I couldn't help but stare!

But this oddness worried me! Was there any problem she's suffering lately? What if she wasn't okay? I just couldn't stand this fear that rushed through my veins so I did what I hated the most: I asked Loncent why was she acting this weird? But he surprised me too by saying that he felt the same and that she was ignoring him too and that made me startled because why would she act like that? Maybe her university exams?!

But at this moment I couldn't help myself as I realized that I was walking towards their table, and ogling her beauty as I approach. She looked like a princess or more like a queen; sure that dress cost a fortune! Her makeup was accentuating her look as her eyes were pretty Smoky and that gave her more delicacy as her blue eyes looked more prominent and brave.
The way her eyelashes moved while she was blinking slowly was so eye catchy that I couldn't help but stay silent for a moment before talking because I needed to calm down so that I keep it cool and not fall for her as I feel I am about to.

"I thought this irresistible beauty belongs to a woman I know." Said Loncent.

I was never the one facing problems while talking to any girl but I guess my mind was off this time but I had to control the effects of her charms on me but how?

"Hey I don't like to seem cheesy asking you to dance with me as Loncent would actually think to do but I am more like: do you want to just walk around the palace as we're talking? " I finally blurted out and I felt instant peace that I didn't blow this chance away.

"Okay! " She said so easily, and placed a beautiful smile on her face and that showed how much she had a cute face.

How is she so calm like that? Not like what it was lately!
I guess it was really the stress of her exams then, maybe!
Loncent laughed nervously because as you know he hates me being around her, he really fears I would break her heart but does he really like her or as he says love her ? Should I leave her to him, I mean he's my brother and I really wish he would be happy.
I haven't realised how I was a bad influence to him but after he told me the way I led him to: girls, drinks and worst. Now, he reminded me of the pure child I was.

But why would I change? Would it change anything? Who would love me? Who would be happy around me?

But looking deep in those pure blue eyes, I forget everything.
This girl drives me crazy without even noticing because she doesn't know she's beautiful even in a white t-shirt and jeans without makeup!
She is just perfect with her brown hair that makes her look like an angel.
Just a smile and my heart stops.

"So are we going to walk like that without even talking?" I said.

"What do you want to talk about?" She said so damn easily, I looked into her eyes and told myself

YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME.

"Anything, like how are your studies? What are you planning for your Future? Your life?"

"Well, the studies are good, I guess! I want to be a professional programmer known in well-known companies, that's all."

"Well, life ? You haven't said anything about it?"

"Because I know nothing about it."

"Like there is nothing personal for you going on? Isn't there someone you at least like?"

"I don't know where did this courage come from? No, there isn't and won't be for a while from now. But as an advice to you, you have to promise you won't fall in love with me, huh! Don't come and blame me after that when you get hurt..."

"Really! A walk to remember?" I said chuckling.
"Come on, stop it! As if Landon kept his promise, but I could promise you that and would keep my promise, you know how?"

"How?" She said in a duh voice but, her tone was more challenging!

"Well, I promise I won't because I already have, I love you Wist."

She smiled and said: "Nah! So cheesy, maybe you should try again!" She said chuckling. "Next time, try harder to impress me."

"Isn't there a known answer you should say? Why do you always have to do the unexpected?"

"Who told you I felt that for a moment for you?
And how would I do without even knowing you?
Am I crazy or something?"

"Hey guys, I have been searching for you! Aren't you going to come back to the table to stay with us?" Loncent said suddenly standing looking at us weirdly.

Oh God! He knows the time to end conversation.

Why have I said that to her? Do I really feel that for her? Or am I under my mom's orders? I am in a total mess. I don't know who am I when I am with her, I guess I'll be in so much trouble?

The problem is that when I said it, I felt joy as if I'm happy and relieved to tell her I love her. Weird! I felt a bang in my chest and happiness, was I in love with her without even knowing?
