Playlist : What Do You Mean

What do you mean? When you nod your head yes but you wanna say no what do you mean..

Adreano's POV :

I was driving to home but slowed down when came across the biscuit shop. The shutter was down. I checked my watch and it showed seven past twenty.

The shop closes at seven. I started the car but something caught at the corner of my eyes. I again looked at the shop, the shutter was an inch up from below and saw someone's moving.

Who will be there inside? Is that counter boy troubling Iva? Several thoughts came in my mind and without anymore thinking I opened the shutter and rushed in.

The counter was empty. I went into the kitchen, checked every corner and no one was there. "Oh no!" I heard a female voice shouting. It was Iva. I ran to the other side of the kitchen and opened the door wide open.

Water was whooshing out from the tap, not from it's regular mouth but from the other side. I turned my eyes and was shocked seeing Iva wearing only a bra on top and trousers below. Where's her clothes?

She immediately placed her hands across her chest. "I am sorry." I turned my eyes away and took hold of the leaked tap with my fist.

"I am sorry, I was changing and I opened the tap to wash the stain on my top but...it...uh.."

"I heard your shout and I ran in. I am sorry too."

"It's my fault." She scoffed.

"You must change fast. I can't hold this for too long."

"Oh..sorry. I'll go outside and change."

"You are wet. I don't think you will want to mess the floor of the shop." She didn't responded. "You can change here. I am not looking." I chuckled.

"Okay." The lights were off suddenly.

"Well, maybe the electricity doesn't trust me." He said and we both laughed.

"I am done." She informed.

"Why is the electricity not coming back?" I asked.

"The switch board has tripped I guess. I will have to check. Can you please switch on the flash of your phone?"

"Okay. But I need something to cover this tap."

"Here take this." She handled me a piece of cloth and I tied the tap. I wiped my hands on my coat which was already wet, thanks to the tap.

The flash was on, "So where's the switch board?" I asked.

"Backside of the shop. Follow me Mr. Stryker."

I was walking behind her. The light was on her. She was wearing a knee length top and the trouser. Her hair, as usual tied in a ponytail.

She took out a big chair and stood on it. "Iva I will do it, you will fall. Come down." I don't know why I said it, it was supposed to be said in my mind. Now what she will think about me? Why I am showing extra care?

"Sir I have done this many times. And it's done." I heard a click and the lights were on.

"Aaaghhh!" She lost her balance and fell on me. In just few moments we both were on the ground. She was above me. I felt something soft on my lips and in no time I found out it was her lips, soft and warm. I opened my eyes, hers was still closed.

I moved my hands from her bosom and she opened her eyes. Wide open. She immediately stood up. "Oops! I am extremely sorry Mr. Stryker. I saw this fly on the wall and I lost my balance. I am so sorry. It's embarrassing." She babbled.

"Calm down. It was an accident." I said.

There was an awkward silence between us. We both were looking everywhere we could except at looking each other.

"Ahem. We must leave now. Shall we?" I said finally.

"No sir, I will go. Ummm. Bye Mr. Stryker."

"Okay." I moved out.

I woke up at four in the morning as usual. I did the gym. After the workout I went for shower. Iva's face was revolving in my mind. Last night I saw her in bra. It's not a new thing to me. I have dated and made on bed with many girls but it was unexpected with a girl like Iva. She's so simple.

Though she was wearing trousers, she was uncovered till the waist. I saw her body. Lean, toned and really great breasts. Her lips, they were so soft. It was a great feeling. I don't know why but I wanted to munch her lips but I controlled.

Thinking of her was poking my senses. Don't think of her! My inner self ordered. I shook my head and came out wrapping the towel around my waist.

I went down at the breakfast table. Grandma was sitting alone waiting for me.

"Good morning gorgeous." I greeted.

"Good Morning son."

"Where's Mom and Dad?" I looked at the empty chairs.

"They had some important meeting to attend, so they both went."

"Left? Didn't even bothered to have breakfast with us?"

"Son you know how workaholic they are. I told them to leave after fifteen minutes but they said they can't delay the meeting."

"Oh great." I collected my anger in my fist.

Grandma saw my angry face. She opened my fist and placed her hands on mine. "Son, one day everything will be alright."

"That one day will come after decades I guess."

"Have your breakfast. Don't think much or else you will grow old soon. God! You will still look so Smarty Pants in those white hairs."

I looked at her and we both laughed. "Smarty pants? Seriously?" I said controlling my laughter.

"Yeah." She chuckled.

"I have to leave Grandma, I am getting late for office."

I took tulips from the nearby florist and drove to the biscuit shop. I reached the 'Ripen Flour." It was closed. I looked at my watch and it showed eight past thirty five. The shop opens at nine. Twenty five minutes to go.

I hate waiting, but still I was not moving my wheels away. Something was holding me, telling me to wait and apologize her. Though it wasn't my fault, I wanted to say sorry.

Several thoughts were poking me. How should I say sorry? Should I smile or not? Obviously I shouldn't smile, she'll not like it. What if my apology reminds her of that kissing incident? Though I don't have any problem but she was literally embarrassed. She was not making eye contact.

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Iva opening the shop. I grabbed the tulips and came out of the car. I moved my steps towards her. She was busy opening the lock of the shutter.

As soon as she pulled the shutter up and went inside and before she could turn, I swooped on the right of the shop away from her eyes. I decided not to go in front of her for few days. She is a simple and different type of girl. I don't want to remind her of the kiss and make her feel embarrassed. She will think of it the whole day.

I sat on the car, kept the tulips on the adjacent seat and drove to the office.

"Sir you have an important call Mr. Takinava on the other side of the line." My assistant Sophia said and transferred the call.

I pushed the button of the telephone. "Yes Mr. Takinava."

"Mr. Stryker what I am hearing, you cancelled the partnership deal?"

"You heard right Mr. Takinava."

"Don't you know this deal is so important for your company?"

"Yes I know but I don't want to stand with this deal anymore."

"You are making a big mistake Mr. Adreano Stryker." His voice was raised from the normal.

"Well, as you said the deal is important for our company and I don't think you should bother much about it. Stop panicking."

"I am not panicking Mr. Stryker! It's because we see a better future with your company and we want to make partnership with you."

"Maybe next time. It was nice talking to you Mr. Takinava."

"Mr. Stryker you are making a big mistake. You are going to pay for it." His voice was deep.

"One more word from your mouth and my lawyer will talk to you."

He was silent. "Bye Mr. Takinava." I disconnected the call.
