The incomplete number

A week has been passed since then. For the past few days Athena has been checking her phone in the hope of getting a call or text from Arthur.

"Arghhh... That dummy! If I knew that he can not even manage to gather the last two numbers, I would have given him the complete number. "

She took out her diary from her drawer and started scribbling his name and drew a picture of devil beside it. "Ahh.. what am I even doing? That dummy has really made me mad. I have to clear up my mind. " The more she tried to erase him from his mind, the more she found herself engrossed in his thoughts.

At last, she took out her phone to call Jessica .

"Hello, Jess. "

"What's up Athy? I was going to call you now. Did you check Peter's new post in Instagram? He looks so handsome! "

" You are still stuck on that weirdo. "

"Don't call him weirdo! "

"Yes, yes. But you can't deny the fact that he is a weirdo. That day I saw him riding a seesaw which was meant for only children below twelve years. "

" So, what about you? Did you just call me to say that my prince charming is weirdo?" , said Jess angrily.

Athena with a little bit of hesitation replied, " Well, if a girl can not stop thinking about a boy and also dreams of... "

Jessica raised her eyebrows and asked, " Dreams of what? "

"ki... kii.. "

"Ki what? "

Athena screamed, "kissing! "

Silence overgrew in the atmosphere -

Jessica burst into laughter. " Wow! I can't believe my Athy, who always keeps distance from boys , is seeing dreams of kissing a man. So who is the man? "

"The one who threw football on my head that day in the college. His name is Arthur. "

Jessica dashed her hand on the pillow, " That jerk! Because of him, I missed watching my Peter's perfect abs... "

Athy berged in the middle of her scream . " Can you just stop. It's always you and your Peter! I asked you a question earlier. Reply me that first. "

Jessica took a deep sigh, " Can not you tell it yourself ? I don't know its infatuation or love. Take sometime and you will know it yourself. "

"But how? "

"If you heartbeat increases everytime he is infront of you. If you feel jealous if any other girl approaches him, then you are in love. By the way have you two exchanged numbers? "

"He asked my number a week ago. I gave him eight numbers of my contact number. Who knew that he would be so dumb to not find the other two? "

"You are so childish! Next time when you meet him don't forget to exchange numbers. "

They talked with each other for a long time that night. Athena kept thinking of that lewd dream and cursed Arthur, because he didn't call her even once in this whole week. She decided that next day at college she will give him her full contact number. She was really furious at him.

Meanwhile at Arthur's residence, Arthur had a sound sleep that night.

"I think I have forgotten something important. ", murmured Arthur while laying in his bed.

The matter of Athena's number had totay escaped his mind.
