Chasing You

Chapter 5

Tyrese’s POV:

I’ve been watching her since the day I laid my eyes on her. Her presence and her beauty had an endearing effect on my licentious self and I had lost to her pure essence in my life. I felt like a moth drawn to the flame, she was like this bright fire of hope that was calling me to her but, I knew if I lost control I’ll be burnt.

At this point, I don’t care if I burn or even die in her fire, what matter the most to me was to satiate this irresistible ache to touch her and that’s why I spent days following her from college to library to her home and during all this time, she never bothered to check her surroundings. I must say, she was quite careless about her safety and maybe that’s why that foolish bastard dared to lay his eyes on what’s mine.

Love is strange and it makes you do things that you never imagined about! I was sending a gift to my angel and it was not some flower or chocolates but, a smart phone. Yes, a smart phone because I wanted to hear her all through the day and night. And by this point, I think, it would only be fair to show up before her so, it wouldn’t be awkward when I meet her for real I thought.

And so, as decided I wrote a letter to my nymph and packed the smart phone in a box and mailed it to her library's mail box. I know, it would be strange to receive such an anonymous mail but nonetheless I was hopeful of some response from her.

I watched from afar where and what she was doing but, to my surprise. I heard the most strong opinionated and blunt response from my love. Helena was with her fellow co-worker and friend when she bluntly spoke of how foolish a person was to spend money so recklessly. I wouldn’t mind being bad mouthed but what caught my attention were those words…

“First of all, there is a good chance I’m being played plus, if that person really did bother about such an expensive phone then why carelessly hand it to some random girl? He must know that this is what happens when you try to gift expensive things, you lose them!

I doubt he wants it anyway, plus, I want my man to be gutsy, what good is a man who doesn’t show up and act all creepy by giving these kind of expensive things. If he cared, he’d be gutsy enough to face me not a creep to send me random gifts!” Said my love as she shut the door of her locker leaving my present behind.

I stood there watching her leave.

If he cared, he’d be gutsy enough to face me not a creep to send me random gifts!

Her words were ringing inside my head and I was holding in these emotions of having my self esteem hurt by her. I’ve never had anyone say this to me on my face or behind my back but, she dared to say something like this without even bothering to get to know me?

I began to laugh hysterically as I recollected her words and imagined myself in her place.

“What have you done to me Helena? I’ve had the prettiest of women begging for me but here I am, acting all strange by sending you anonymous mails.

If you wish to meet the gutsy man, then you shall receive the same” I said as I smiled watching her walk into the street.

Helena’s POV

After that, I walked back home and took a long warm bath as I tried to wash away the stress of the day. Every time I closed my eyes I saw the letter flashing before my eyes, those words were floating before me no matter how much I refrained myself from thinking about them.

It was the first time in my life, that someone found me cute! I was giggling inside as I read the letter once again in the bath. Yes, I slipped the letter inside my bag when Stacy wasn’t looking. That letter was the most precious letter to me for, it was the first time I realized I was a girl too! And that letter had introduced to me to this strange world where I was the center of attention of someone else’s world!

All my life, I’ve watched others getting spoiled by their boyfriends or getting those love letters but this time was different, this time it was for me! I wonder who this person is? Sometimes my heart breaks to think if all of this is really a prank or someone is trying to pull something nasty with me but for some reason I wish to believe that this person really does exist for me with the purest of intentions! And if things go right, I might as well come to love him.

I giggled again as I read the letter once again in bed. BY now, I had the letter memorized in my head and I was playing it over and over again. I know, I sound kinda desperate but if being in love is called desperation then so be it! I’d rather taste and feel this desperation of butterflies running in my stomach than be the person leading a boring life.

I closed my eyes and I drifted off to sleep…

I was in a fairy land with grass meadows and fresh air flowing through the trees and grass as I looked up in the sky. It was a bright morning sky and a pleasant weather as I took a deep breath. It was the most peaceful and satisfying feeling when I saw a man in armor riding a horse (technically a knight ) charging towards me.

He halted his horse and unmounted it as he walked towards me and I stood still watching his shining armor and his helmet covering his face. I couldn't see his face clearly but, he was now running towards me and he slowly grabbed my waist as he nuzzled on my neck.

I felt my heart skip a beat as I felt him kissing my neck. I was having these weird sensations that were slowly making me surrender to his touch and as he removed his helmet, he capture my lips into a passionate kiss stealing my breath away…

I woke up with sweat rolling down my forehead and my chest heaving. I was a virgin and this was the first time I’ve had such a dream. I was scared for a minute! We aren’t supposed to kiss anyone unless we are in love! How did I not resist this man in my dream? I could feel the butterflies in my stomach as I recollected my dream and that’s when I remembered what that stranger, who had protected me on train had said.

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

Why was I correlating different incidents together and dreaming of such lewd things! God, please forgive me for such impure thoughts, I prayed and tried to get back to sleep.
