what?!?!

he likes me??? but how?? since when??

I quickly texted him back

Me: you like me?? since when??

Him: what?? who said that??

Me: you just said that!!

Him: I did??

Me: yes you did... go and read the chats....

there was a small pause. may be he was checking the chats....

Him: oh! I'm so sorry for that... actually that message was not for you... It was for someone else...

Me: oh! sorry I got it wrong...

Me: gotta go...my friends are here... talk to you later... bye..

Him: you want to talk to me later?? :)

Me: oh just let it go....

Him: hmmm.....

ugh!!! why do he irritate me this much... you know what just let it go...

I just took a huge bowl of popcorn and some more snacks to eat... we were all actually hungry... specially me!!

when I was out with every thing, I saw  that Eve was seating on Jack's lap. they were looking so cute together. But then I saw that I had to sit between Jacob and Mike.... great!!

I knew they did not like each other... I saw how they met each other in my cafe...

I just put all the food on the table and stood there for a second thinking whether to sit or not. Then Jacob gestured me to sit beside him. I took no time to sit in between them.

"lets watch some movie, what say??", Eve asked. She was gleaming while saying it...

"yes, why not??", I replied.

"but what should we watch??", Jack asked.

"I have few DVDs I'll just get'em", I got up from my seat to bring the DVDs.  It took me a while to search for them.  I came back with few of them.

"look, I have only these ones", I said giving the CDs to Eve.

"you have a very bad taste of movies Amy," Eve made a stupefied type of face. "anyways I think Blended is good one... I mean its better amongst all the other movies the silly have", she said it with a sigh...

As before I had to sit in between Jacob and Mike. Eve switched off the lights and great!!!! you people don't know that I'm scared of darkness...

I'm scared a lot...

and some how may be Jacob sensed that and put his arm around my waist. "don't be scared", Jacob said assuring me in side his arms... I must say his arms were so long and masculine that he would just wrap his arm around his waist like he was holding a pillow against him.

I felt a bit uncomfortable there then ignored it. I just took a glance at Mike to just see what he was doing.
But to my utter astonishment he was staring at Jacob with an annoyed face. but when he sensed me looking at him he gave me a 'whatever' look and turned his face towards the movie and tried to concentrate on it.

Why?!?! why was he glaring at Jacob??? I had no answer for the question I made for myself. I had no idea for that.

after about one and a half hour when the movie just finished, Eve switched on the lights and Jacob let go of my waist. I had a sense of relief after that. I just got up from there and excused myself.

I just washed my face and came back and saw that Mike was all alone in the living room. I started to feel nervous. I was left alone with Mike in the room. I bluntly asked him where are the rest of the people.

"Evelyn and Jack went out to get some ice-cream and your friend got a call so he had to go", he said the last part in annoyance. I was really astonished to see the way he talked about Jacob.

But why!?!? I didn't know....

I just sat beside him on the couch. I didn't understand what happened next. He came closer to me and held me the same way Jacob held me when we were watching the movie!!!

"Mike, what's wrong with you??", I tried to free my self...

"just stay here", he said in a very cold voice.

"but...", I was reasoning when he interrupted me.

"I said just stay here", he said.

I couldn't help but had to sit there like that. He pulled me more closer to him. So close that my body was crashing into his masculine one. But I didn't know why he did so. I didn't know why I was so comfortable with him. I felt like staying in his arms was the most safest thing or place in the world. it felt really good. I stayed there for a while when Mike hugged me. his warmth was so welcoming that I had to give in. I hugged him back.

few moments later I didn't get what had come to his mind. He just cupped my face and he kissed me!!!

I was so shocked that I didn't respond any thing. His eyes were closed. I was froze at my spot.

"Kiss me back damn it!!" he snapped at me.

so there was no choice left. I had to give in.

I kissed him back!!! I had to give in. Our kiss grew more passionate by then. I was the first one to pull apart.
We were breathing heavily. more like panting. He then let go of me and was looking away. I put my dress proper and stood up to my feet when the door bell rang.

I literally thanked god... because I couldn't take more awkwardness in side my head.

I quickly ran towards the door to check on who was at the door.

It was Jacob. thank god...

wait!! oh god!!! now I all alone with both of them in my house!!! All alone!!!

Now, what should I do?? Think Amanda think!!!!

while I was having all these thoughts in my mind still standing at the door, Jacob snapped his fingers in front of my face breaking my trance. I shook my face like a mad in front of him. ugh!!!

"what's wrong?? is there any problem?? or it's something funny written over my face??", Jacob asked and took out his phone to check out his face. I just gave him a small smile "oh no! it's not that I was just... just let it go... oh you just get in", I tried to change the subject. "oh yeah sure", wit this he entered the house. Jacob held my waist while coming in. Then I noticed Mike was staring at us in anger. annoyance was clearly visible on his face.

But I still didn't get why Mike was behaving like that...

soon Eve and Jack were also at home... I  was happy for that... phew!! I wiped my head with the back of my hand as if I was wiping the sweat off my face...

"ice-cream guys!!" Eve exclaimed. she brought each of us a bowl of...

Any guesses!! it's my favourite flavour!!!

Oh come on take a wild guess!!

Not getting yet... okey I say you...

it's black forest!!!

yeah it might be weird but every one have a choice right!!

oh just let it go...we chatted all along while having my bowl of ice-cream. My throat was so sensitive, so that I used to take a lot of precautions while eating some thing. I don't eat the food prepared during lunch in my dinner.... I mean when ever I was alone I felt too lazy to cook any thing, I used to just reheat the food and have it. But next day I used to wake up with a sour throat. But yet I wanted to have another cup of ice-cream. No one could stop me doing that....

Then they decided to leave because it was already late and they were all tired so I didn't force them.
It was already midnight when my phone beeped again. It was obvious that it was a mail or a message.

I quickly looked for who it was. It was that freak 'prince T'.....

Jacob was in wash room. So I opened his message because I was feeling bored.

Him: hey beautiful ;)

Me: did you even see me that you call me beautiful!?!?

Him: hmm... may be... I have seen you...

Me: what?!?! but when did you see me??

Him: why should I say you... but you look really beautiful... ;)

Me: don't try to flirt with me okey!!!

Him: I'm not flirting with you... don't even think that... ;)

Me: yeah what ever....

Him: I wanted to say you something....

Me: what?

Him: just stay away from that freak...

Me: what? who? why?

Him: that's for me to know and you to find out...

Me: but....

Him: good night beautiful ;)

And he goes offline....

ugh!!! who was he talking about????

oh my mind will burst out like this!!!

Just then Jacob comes out... he was smiling.... "And what more Blondie!?" he asked giving me a small smile... "nothing Jacob... you tell me about you life. You didn't tell me much about yourself", I tried to change the topic. "I was just living... but after I came here I feel like I have a chance for a better living", he was looking intently at me. I started to feel the heat. So I just stood on my feet and "I'm really sleepy and tired. Good night Jacob see you tomorrow", I said him. he looked a bit disappointed but managed to smile "Good night Amanda", he said.

I just gave him a small smile and headed towards my bed room. I just slid under my sheets. they really felt so good. But yet I was unable to sleep. All the events of the day were running a marathon in my mind. I didn't understand what Jacob is thinking. I didn't understand what Mike was thinking. And I didn't understand what that so called Prince T was thinking.

Questions like why Mike kissed me? why Jacob is behaving like this? who is that prince and how does he know about me that much??? were all running in my mind....

I just slapped my face and "just stop thinking you will go insane... come on sleep..."

great!!! now I was talking to my self...

then soon the sleep consumed me....
