The night we met

16. chapter (Socialising 101)

Dorks..!
U//w//U

I still can't get over I got 5+views yey!
Moving on

Place: The hotel room
Time: The time just after sunset and the sky is black. I don't have any clue on what that is called.

I woke up

I hate afternoon naps

Bdhshwwh don't you hate that feeling waking up after an afternoon nap

Your body doesn't function normally..
I went in the washroom

Woah, I do like the lighting here. I sometimes wonder why do they have such luxurious lighting in the bathroom? Not complaining though! I like that

I washed my face (because beauty 💅)
And etc stuff to make myself look and feel like a human.
And to make myself look like I belong to the same planet as the rest of the humans living here.
Why do I sound like an alien?

I was just exiting the washroom while rubbing and drying my face with a paper towel. I heard the clicking of the door knob and the creaking sound of the door.

"Y/n you're up?" He asked looking at his phone
"Yeah just now"
"Get ready we'll be going in 15 minutes"
"Someone else's coming too?" I asked collecting my clothing tools
"If you don't want my colleagues to be there then we'll go separately" he said nonchalantly.

Aw
He was ready to turn down his friends' offer because of me. Honestly I'd have preferred just us. No one would like to go out with people they don't know about.
But he doesn't deserve the spoiling of his plans because of me.

"Nah it's fine we'll be together"

He looked up from his screen and smiled.

Ah the things I'll go through for that smile

"Yeah?"
"Yeah"

_ awkward silence_

"I've to change"
"Oh yeah yes sorry, I'll go" he snapped back to earth

After changing back to the dress that I decided earlier. I realised I do look ..
Beautiful? Beautiful isn't appearance. It is a feeling. I felt beautiful. I did my hair, put on some normal accessories.

Not bad I think?
"Done?" I heard C/N outside my room
"Yeah" I got outside

(C/N's POV)

Hi I'm C/N's heart, mind, soul and conscience. You can just consider me as C/N.
She looks like a goddess. Did I mention she never needs to put any effort?

Am I being really not normally romantic? She agreed on the first place to meet my friends and colleagues. She can trust me.

C'mon I do know my eyes would watching her all night. I hope my cheeks don't betray me by changing its colour.

(Y/N's POV)

Was I looking funny?
Or is he lagging like an online game?
Why he staring?

"Where are we heading to?" I asked as we reached near the hotel lobby
"Dinner, is it fine?"
"Yeah, completely.. it's just I thought a club or some"
"Oh"
"We're not some college youngsters" he smiled
"Ah yeah"
College students..
College life
"Nostalgia?" He asked without looking towards me

(Because kids disclaimer: no matter if they're your crush or enemy or anyone. KEEP FOCUS WHILE DRIVING IT'S UNSAFE. Don't put others life on stake)

"Maybe"
"I was so different as youngster than I'm now" I said looking at him for a response
"And what makes you feel that?"

"I was mature back then"
'Mhm' he nodded
"Now I am a trash can" I completed

He chuckled at my statement yet keeping his eyes at the road and said
"Hey, don't think low of yourself"

"I said I'm a trash CAN not a trash CANNOT. I still can do stuff even if I'm trash"

He gave me 'really bitch?' look

"I'm optimistic" I said

"If I were you I'd be looking for a therapist" he laughed

Our ride went like this. With all these funny light hearted conversations or I might say conversations with chaotic idiots which might let in the losing of braincells of people.

On reaching the destination.
For once in this life of mine my expectations of luxurious looking hotels and places straight coming from pinterest night aesthetic meets reality.
Let me repeat that it's rare.

He put his hand towards me as a gentleman's gesture.

Dreams do be coming true though

Entering the place, they did maintain their sophisticated looks from the inside too.
His colleagues were giving me really warm welcoming smile. They made it feel like I was a part of the group like not letting me feel left out of any conversation.
And in 45 minutes or so we were all laughing me and C/N were sharing our old chaotic stories from college occassionally and I got to know many of his colleagues and few of them were our seniors and batch mates.

Such a small world.
(And yet I've never run into Beyoncé)

Now I feel like I know his colleagues more than mine.
I should better start socialising with people at my workplace.
It'd be fun I believe.
Why can't socialising be this easy every where.

While eating those light hearted conversations didn't stopped and I noticed C/N was smiling at me.
He must be proud that I was making friends

Yey..

"So what are your plans after dinner?"

Heyyyy guys!
I do finally have an existing audience.
*Shed tears* ahaha NGL I literally forced my sibling to read this story. But seriously aren't siblings the best ?
Anyways have a great day and I'll see you in the next one (灬º‿º灬)♡ <3
