Chapter 9
Flashback...
Getting dressed up in a pink coloured slouchy pullover shirt, ripped high waist ankle length jeans, ankle length boots. Quickly slipping down my rose gold bracelet watch and a stud earring. I reapplied my Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment to complete my look. For hair, I quickly did a top knot and let the rest of my hair fall down in natural waves.
Once satisfied with my look, I picked up my handbag and glanced at the wall clock, it was eleven...hmm..not too late!! I muttered to myself and walked out of my apartment, closing the door behind me. Standing in front of his door, I straightened my half tucked in shirt before pressing the doorbell.
Okay so after fifteen minutes and thirty five seconds, I was ready to hit his door with my leg, when he suddenly opened the door. He gave me a shocked look first and then looked at me from top to bottom before furrowing his eyebrows. Okay, so I get it, I was looking weird now with my right leg hanging midway in the air and both of my arms up in the air as if I was showing my imaginary biceps to someone!
Quickly letting go of my posture, I gave him a big smile while he just gave me a blank look. Rolling my eyes, I marched inside. "Who sleep till eleven in the morning??" I asked turning back at him. "Okay, I understand we all need our beauty sleep even I sleep till two in the afternoon but today we were suppose to go on a date?!" I said raising my hands while he just raised his eyebrows.
Waving my hand in the air, I said, "Okay, not on a date exactly but grocery shopping?" I gave him my cute look. "Are you done?" He asked keeping his hands in his jogger's pocket.
"No" I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Great...because I'm done! Now, leave." He said opening the door a bit more.
Without saying anything, I went and sat down on his sofa. Slowly I removed my boots, folded my legs and made myself comfortable in his sofa. "I'm not in a rush!"
"Good Night!" He slammed the door shut and went inside his bedroom, slamming the door shut, again!
Huffing, I laid down on the sofa.
Since, I didn't had anything to do, so I decided to watch TV.
After thirty minutes, I heard him opening his room door. I turned and waved at him.
"You're still here?"
"And you're still not ready?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"It's called humanity!"
"Listen-" but I cut him off "No, you listen to me Mr.Grey Eyes why do you always keep people away who wants to help you? You like it or not but we're neighbours now. And I'm not understanding why are you being so difficult? All I'm saying is that you need grocery in your kitchen. Even though you don't know how to cook atleast you can fix yourself with noodles or cereals. Outside food is not good on daily basis, why can't you understand such a small thing? I'm not asking you to come with me on a date...it's just a grocery shopping!!" I completed my little speech and took a deep breath.
"You are really stubborn!" He said.
"Well, you have almost all the day to compliment me, Mr.Grey Eyes!!" I said showing him all my thirty-two teeths.
"Wait here"
"Aye Aye Captain!!"
After waiting for more fifteen-twenty minutes, he finally came out of his room.
He was wearing black jogger pant, white tshirt, olive green jacket along with his white sneakers.
"Not bad Mr.Grey Eyes!!" I said standing up and he purposely rolled his eyes.
"Don't make me change my mind!" He said.
"Is that a warning?"
"It's upto you!"
"Great yaar! There's no place for goodness..." I said walking out of his apartment.
"Stop being dramatic now!"
Jumping out of the elevator, I looked at him and he just looked at me with a boring expression. Ignoring his expression, I asked him, "Do you have a car or a bike or should we go by cab or bus?"
"Car!!" He replied
"Actually my car has gone for service--" he didn't even let me complete my sentence and just walked away.
Arrogant!!
Sitting on the passenger side, I looked outside the window, but then suddenly a question came, "Do you even know where to go? Which turn you should take?"
"I'm not a nursery student!" He replied back.
"But you're new here?!"
"And who told you that?" He asked still looking on the road.
"Why are you so arrogant? Why can't you be nice for once?" I asked smiling at him.
"Well, I just don't keep on throwing myself unecessarily!"
"So you mean that I'm throwing myself at you?" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"I never said that!" And I could clearly see him hiding his smile.
"I'm not a fool"
"I again didn't said anything"
"You are impossible!"
"Then why are you trying to solve me!"
"Because now, it has become my hobby."
And this time he did looked at me.
Entering the store, I don't know why but I became excited and I ran towards the trolley section. Getting a trolley for myself, I walked towards the first section that was breakfast/dairy items.
"Start with this" I said throwing my hands up in the air.
"Are you always like this or today is something special?" He asked picking two packs of bread and a box of eggs.
"Well, what can I say? You bring out the best in me!" I said picking one more box of eggs and keeping it in his basket.
He squinted his eyes while I just raised my eyebrows.
Picking up butter, cheese, Nutella, jam from the other rack, I walked towards his basket with my hands full. He looked at the items in my hand but his gaze zeroed on the bottle of Nutella.
"I don't like Nutella" he said making a gross face.
"You serious?"
"Very much!"
"Who doesn't like Nutella? I mean...we're talking about Nutella, here!!" My eyes were very much wide enough and I didn't care that my pitch of the tone was high.
"Geez!! Calm down...why are you screeching?" He asked.
"Calm down?! You don't like Nutella?? This is a very biiiggg issuuee..."
"Suck it up!" He walked past by me.
"No, really, Mr.Grey Eyes I mean almost everyone in this planet likes Nutella but how come you don't like it?"
"I might be an alien!!" He gave me a mock smile and then went ahead.
We then went to the biscuits and cookies section and without wasting any time he picked up four packets of Cadbury Dipped Oreo Chocolate Cookies. "Oohh...someone here is a big fan of Oreo!!" I commented and he just glared. After that we picked some random biscuits and some more cookies.
For beverages I picked for him different types of flavoured juices and few cans of Sprite.
"I hope these beverages will last you enough for a month?" I asked him
"More than enough" he replied back. Out of nowhere his cell started ringing and he went towards the other side while talking. Leaving him, I pushed the trolley and went towards the noodles and instant food section. Picking up some random packets of Noodles, Pastas and also some frozen foods, I put them in the trolley and walked towards my favourite section Chocolates and Ice cream section.
Grabbing some ice cream and chocolates along with lots and lots of junks, I quickly put them in the trolley.
"Done?" He asked me
"I think this will be enough...but you can check if you need anything else!" I said.
"No no...it's okay. Shall we go? I've some work" he said.
"Yeah yeah, sure!" I replied back.
While walking towards the counter he suddenly asked, "Why do you always call me by Mr.Grey Eyes? I have a very beautiful name and everyone calls me by that name."
"And may I know your beaitiful name?" I asked.
"Ashar Sayeed"
"Uh..hun!! You see Mr.Sayeed everyone calls you by Ashar, right?" He nodded his head. "But does anyone calls you by Mr.Grey Eyes except me?" He shook his head. "So let it be like that na!" I smiled and started picking out the items from the trolley.
He didn't said anything but when I turned to look at him, he was already staring back at me.
After coming back from the store I decided to make myself Pasta and then I'm gonna sleep the whole afternoon and most of the evening too and that's what I did.
When I got up from the most amazing sleep, it was already dark. Glancing at the wall clock, the time was seven. Woah!! I slept way too much...but still I can sleep some more. Shaking my head, I got down from the bed and went to the washroom to take a shower, so that I feel a bit fresh and not as if I'm about to die!
After taking a shower I wore my sleeping tshirt that falls right above my knees and I let my hair to air dry naturally. I was not really hungry so I decided to make myself a cup of coffee and most probably I'm gonna skip dinner because I'm really full.
Getting comfortable on the couch, I switched on the Tv to watch if any good movie was showing when the doorbell rang. Keeping the mug on the coffee table, I went to open the door when my eyes bulged out of their sockets.
"Mr.Grey Eyes?!"
