Chasing You

Chapter 3

Tyrese POV:

The meeting went well and I was partially successful to control my urges. I found myself taking more rounds to the coffee machine which was facing the library where that nymph had disappeared into, in the hopes of catching a glimpse of her but who am I kidding? I shrugged my shoulders and walked back to my cabin with the eleventh cup of coffee to my desk.

“Hey man! Are you alright? Too many coffee cups here” said my old friend and business partner Eric.

“I’m just having my morning coffee”, I replied as I shrugged my shoulders.

“Dude, one or two cups makes sense but not eleven cups!” he gave a sarcastic remark.

I would agree with him, why was I dosing myself with caffeine, her eyes were intoxicating enough to have me lose my senses. I smiled as I thought of her again.

“Eric, this can’t be true!” I said as I looked at him while putting the hot cup of coffee on the table.

“What can’t be true?” He asked in bewilderment.

“I mean, I’ve seen a lot of women and I’ve had the best beauty begging for me on my feet but, none of them were so intriguing in the first glance! Hell, I don’t even remember their faces so well no matter how beautiful they are” I said as I chortled in disbelief.

“What do want to say, mate?” asked Eric.

“ who is she…?” I said as I raised my head and looked outside the glass window of my office.

I could see the library and there she was! The nymph I had seen this morning, she was still wearing those over sized clothes and walking like a rabbit. Man, I wanted to catch her! She was the reason I was so restless since morning why can’t I just grab her and bring her into my home and have her to my heart’s content.

“Eric, I gotta go! Please handle the meeting in my absence” I said as I prepared to leave my office to chase after that celestial nymph who had my world upside down since this morning.

“Tyrese, where are you going? And we were supposed to talk to stake holders today!” screamed Eric as I rushed out of my cabin

I looked back and said, “ In that case, let’s postpone it! This is urgent! Please handle it bro!” I said as I rushed down the stairs.

My mind was out of control and all the elevators were engaged, I had to go down and catch up with her so I took the emergency stairs and rushed down the twelve floors before finally reaching the lobby.

I dashed outside the main entrance and ran across the street but she was gone. Where did she go? I ran around asking the street vendors if they had seen a young girl in her twenties with an over sized pink coat pass by but, none of them noticed her. The street was quite busy and I could tell that it would be really hard to keep a track of people in such streets.

I rubbed my forehead as I looked around and that’s when it hit me, the cafe! This morning she walked out of a cafe before entering the library. I walked inside the cafe and looked around. My guess was right! She was sitting right there with a book in her hand drinking a cup of hot chocolate with a plate of chocolate fudge cake and vanilla ice-cream.

I licked my lips as my throat began to feel the thirst emerging in my body. No ocean, no river and no water could quench this insatiable thirst for her. Those innocent cheeks and the bright eyes that were engaged in the book so much that she never bothered to check her surroundings. I sat across her table but, she never noticed me.

I pulled out her bracelet to return to her but her calm face seemed to be my delight and I would want to watch her like this for ages so I decided to not break this moment of watching her from afar. I was lost in the light of her pale skin and those slender fingers that turned the pages of the book as her eyes lit up with pure joy. I was mesmerized with her simple act of reading the book that I just sat there for hours watching her read the book.

Soon it was time for the cafe to close and I saw the waitress taking orders. I called the waitress and gave her the bracelet to return it to that beautiful little nymph who was lost in her book. She bowed to me and left.

I got up from my chair and began to leave the cafe before stealing a glance at that nymph who had stolen my heart. She was still involved in the book so deeply as I walked by watching her.

I wanted her! This desire of watching her was slowly making me desire for a little more than just watch her. No matter what, no woman was able to have my attention or trap my heart with just one glimpse. This made no sense to me either but, my urges were now starting grow stronger. It was never like this before but now, she was someone I wanted. I needed her, I had to make her mine.

And that’s how I began to follow her everywhere she went. I followed her around and got to know about her daily routine. She was a freshman in college and was starting her studies in literature. Her name was Helena, such a beautiful name to the most beautiful nymph!

I was happy following her around and I wished to cherish her only from afar but one day, when my angel got on the train to the university our worst enemy, got on to loot the train. The leader of the g**g, Johan was a pig and a big sucker for young girls. As son as I got the information, I rushed to my angel. I knew something was not right. My instincts were right, that bastard was about to touch my pure nymph and I barged in and knocked him off before protecting her.

“Ssssshhhh, I’m right here. I would never let anything happen to you” I said reassuringly.

I never wanted our meeting to be such a awkward one where she fears me or tries to run away but by the looks of it. She looked very much disturbed so I decided to not show my face and leave as soon as I make sure she is safe.s
