8 Match makers?

Two fudging hours? Iam waiting for lilly and Zay for two hours and still there is no sign of them. I have been on my third drink. I don't know how to start a conversation and neither is he starting anything. He has his head in his phone from the past two hours and other than that once in a while he glances my way at the same time I lift my head.

It is so hard to sit in front of him not talking anything just stealing glances. Yeah! I don't like to talk much and iam an extrovert but still once in a while conversation is better than not talking at all.

Every time I lift my head I saw omer watching me moreover scanning me with his brown mesmerizing eyes and every time I fidget in my seat. " Ahem" I cleared my throat.

"don't you think it's been two hours since they left us here?" I asked.

"Yeah iam also thinking the same thing. they are taking a lot of time to shop, better we call them and ask when they are going to come" omer said while dailing day's number.

" Yeah! Iam tired of sitting here doing nothing" I said yawning and stretching my tired limbs, I didn't know sitting at one place and doing nothing also makes you hella tired. I felt eyes on me and I stopped stretching mid-way " what! Why are you looking at me like that? " I asked omer straightening myself.

"Oh! Nothing" he said returning to his phone.

I tried calling lilly and Zay but they are not answering my calls and text messages. Why am I feeling like they are up to something? Whatever it is iam going to find out.

" Zay is not picking up her phone any luck with lilly?" Omer asked with an annoyed expression.

" No, she is also not answering my calls". I said once again texting in our WhatsApp group.

" I think we should leave, it's been two hours and I don't think they are going to come," omer said signaling for the bill.

" Yeah, it's for the best and if I sit here for one more minute iam gonna die of exhaustion," I said.

The waiter approached our table with the bill and I took my money out of my wallet and put it on the table.

" It's okay I got it," omer said while moving my money towards me.

"No it's okay I can pay for myself and I don't like to bother anyone and when I can afford my bill why I want someone else to pay for it," I said giving my money back to the waiter.

Seriously I don't like depending on others financially. I have money to pay then why bother someone. paying my bills makes me proud of myself and feel like iam an independent woman. Sometimes people may think of me as iam overreacting or thinking deeply into it but no, strong women, independent women pay their bills and not depend on others.

" It's not a big deal, I would have paid for us," omer said standing and ushering me towards the exit.

" Yeah maybe it's not a big deal for you but me, it is a big deal. I don't like depending on others financially. I like to pay my bills with my own money" I said Looking at omer's way.

" Hmm, I like women who are independent and pays their bills," omer said giving me a heartwarming smile.his smile made me smile.

His smile makes me warm inside. Whenever he smiles it reaches his eyes and I like his crow feet at the end of his eyes it suits him.

" I think you have forgotten your car," I said while gesturing towards the parking lot.

" No, I didn't. how can I leave you alone and not accompany you to your apartment? if zayreen knows that I didn't drop you and left you alone at the cafe then she is gonna murder me" omer said with wide brown eyes holding his chest dramatically.

" Ha ha ha ha ha......no doubt in that," I said laughing.

" Sometimes she is scary," omer said walking along with me.

" Yes, she is, but she is sweet and caring too," I said with a small smile playing on my lips.

" That is zayreen for you, if you give love then she gives that love a hundred times more but if you tryna piss her off or do something against her then she is gonna hit them back k thousand times stronger," omer said chuckling and shaking his head.

" Yeah, I kinda figured it out," I said smiling along with him.

" Here we go, it's nice talking to you Scarlett," omer said looking straight into my eyes again trying to unravel me.

" Thank you so much for walking with me and thank you for that night too," I said giving a small smile and a nod. We reached our apartment. I didn't know that we are standing in front of my apartment. Five minutes feel like five seconds with him.

" No problem, it's not a big deal. I would have done it for anyone" omer replied.

Anyone? he would have done it for anyone? I know if I had been in his place I would have done what he had done but still listening to him saying it like not a big deal hurt somewhat.

What? Do I need to feel like he is gonna treat me like someone special for him? It's not a big deal for him and it shouldn't be a big deal for me too.

" Yeah! Good, okay then goodbye" I waved at him and ready to turn around.

" Goodbye Scarlett," he said with a nod and a slight twitch of his lip.

One last time I looked at him and unlocked the door and entered the apartment closing the door behind me.

" Woah why iam I feeling like this ?" Do I want to spend some more time with him? Am I missing him?

" Whom do you missing?" Said someone from behind.

" Shit, you scared me zayreen" I yelled holding my chest and gasping.

" Hey calm down scar, iam sorry I scared you," Zay said moving my way.

" It's okay iam fine, I just didn't expect anyone I thought you were still shopping somewhere," I said raising my eyes brow in question.

"Umm, uhh..yeah..shopping right. Yes, yes we just arrived". Zay said nervously avoiding my eyes.

"So, what did you guys bought?" I asked removing my jacket and keeping it on the couch entering kitchen where lilly is cooking something.

" Hmmm, what are you making," I ask lilly opening the fridge for water.

" Oh nothing just spaghetti and meatballs," lilly said stirring in her pot.

" Yummmmm I can't wait to have it," I said rubbing my stomach and planting myself on the kitchen counter.

" So Zay you didn't answer my previous question," I said watching Zay who is standing nervously at the kitchen's entrance.

" What did you asked scar?" Lilly said turning around.

"Oh, I just asked that what did you guys bought," I said while still watching Zay who is trying to signal something to lilly.

"Ohhh We bought nothing scar and we just wanted to... " Lilly stopped herself by completing her sentence.

" Just wanted to what?" I asked while eyeing them both.

" Nothing scar, what lilly wanted to say is the thing which she wanted to buy is out of stock and it will take one or two weeks for the stock to come and that is what she is gonna tell you," Zay said glaring at lilly.

" Why iam not able to believe what you both are saying?" I asked them narrowing my eyes.

" What? You don't believe us? And why would we lie to you?" Zay asked offended.

" I didn't say you are lying, I just said iam not believing you," I said jumping from the counter and walking to my room to change.

" Whatever scar, iam telling you what happened and what we did," Zay said hands on her hips.

" Okay okay Zay I believe you," I said entering my room.

I know something is fishy but I don't want to argue with zayreen. Whatever it is gonna come out soon because lilly can't keep a secret for long.

After changing into my PJs. I went to eat Lilly's famous spaghetti and meatballs. We ate while watching Zay's cheesy romantic film, washed dishes, and cleaned the kitchen in between lilly and Zay's bickering. With these two I forget everything and feel myself at home and these two are exactly like Nathan and Julie my siblings they both fight all the time but love each other a lot. Iam is lucky to have them in my life.

Iam currently laying on my bed staring outside the window at the sky while my thoughts are everywhere.

Are we going to meet again?

What Iam going to say if I see him again. Like today are we going to remain silent?

I don't know why my thoughts are revolving around brown eyes but iam unable to get him out of my head.

He is messing up my head pretty bad. I need to stop thinking about him and his hypnotic brown eyes. Get a hold Scarlett I scolded myself and closed my eyes to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday and I don't want to miss my classes because of a ridiculously handsome man. Ughhhhh, stop thinking about him. I scolded myself for the last time and fell asleep with the brown eyes staring at me in my dreams.
