8. A DAY WITH YOU

It was Sunday morning I was wearing a black flare off shoulder top and denim shorts paired with black sandals. I combed my hair and after greeting my parents I left. I was walking to the bustop when Arlen came on bike he was wearing blue jeans white t-shirt and brown jacket with black shades he was looking so fresh and charming. He stopped near me and said " you look pretty." I smiled and set behind him. I was getting use to of his complement now. he turned to right instead of left so I asked him "arlen where are we going you were supposed to take left?" he said "I know I have some work at neon's garage it won't take much time." I nodded and we reach the garage.

"just two minutes I will go and come back quickly" saying this Allen went inside I was looking around it was so quite. I looked at the balcony in front, there I saw an old lady looking at me suspiciously. I move my gaze I thought I should call destiny and tell her to wait. when I reach for my phone there was no network in the garage. I put the phone back in my clutch. After long waiting he came alone I asked "where is neon?" and then he look around and said "actually he is busy with some client." he said "shall we leave now otherwise will be late." "yes come" saying this we left. As soon we reached near the college there was no one around I look at Arlen and he said "wait I will call destiny." saying this he went to the corner and talk with her on phone and then he return to me and said "they left few minutes ago I am sorry Rose" "it's okay but what now?" I ask "if you don't mind let's go on my bike." I agree to him and we left. while riding we talked about our past relationship. I told him about Laurence and he told me about his ex girlfriend after sometime we stop at the traffic signal and then he said "Rose hold me tight" I was surprise I asked "why?" "you will get to know." As the signal turned green he increased the speed and I closed my eyes and holded his shirt tightly. I open my eyes I got down then I saw few people on the beach. I called syndra and she said they will reach in 10 minutes I inform Arlen and then went inside and set on the stone near the water we were talking about family he said "I don't have so many siblings like you it just me and about my family my dad is in Army and mother is teacher in Army Public School but they don't leave together" I hold his hand and said "don't worry just believe in god." He looked deep into my eyes and started creasing my hands.

Some boys of our age came behind us and started whistling. I turned and looked at them Arlen said " ignore Rose." and then one boy from them said " hey! man you are having nice view must be enjoying." hearing this all of them laughed out loud. I was about to say something when Arlen holded my hand tightly and whispered in my ears "listen Rose they are all drunk let's not make any scene here." then he turned to the boys and said "listen We don't want to create any scene here please." they all left giggling and laughing. I said to Arlen angrily "why didn't you fight with them nor did you let me do they were talking rubbish about us." he said in low voice "but what will we achieve after that nothing why to quarrel with those who can't understand." I rolled my eyes then he pulled my elbow toway himself and said "look here I have seen my parents fighting everytime so please I just want to get rid of it." I nodded and he smiled.

we saw our friends coming I waved to them then jake said " did you guys enjoyed the bike ride." In teasing way I gave him a look and everyone laughed. we ate ice-cream near a stall then sat on the sea face enjoying y view and chilling when destiny said " hey ! I remember I also brought volleyball let's play I'll get it from the car." saying this she left.

we removed out shoes and sandals and went inside the water till knee length and started playing. We played long for two hours then Martin said " let's go on top of the rocks there." he pointed towards the small rock hill top and everyone left hurriedly. I came near the shore and was wearing my sandals but everytime my hands slipped due to the wetness I was about to fall when Arlen holded me from my waist and slowly bended down and said " let me help you." saying this he tied the strap of my sandals. I felt butterflies in my stomach I was blushing hard. Then I left a flesh on me. i turned and looked around it was Martin clicking photo of us then he shouted "hey ! love birds come join us." we both smiled and joined them up on the hill top.

We spent amazing time together. it was about to dawn and then syndra said " I think we should leave now." Everyone else agreed. Everyone sat inside the car and I waved bye to them as soon they left I and Arlen also departed. He stopped near the corner of the lane of my house and I said " thanks for the ride bye." e said " your face looks so red why?" "it's nothing serious whenever I come across the sun rays directly my face turns red.it will get back normal tomorrow." I said to him with a smile. he said " but still apply Something and take care bye." he left and I walked till my gate and entered the house. I was tired so I took a quick shower and I doze off.
