A sudden crave

The night was indeed beautiful, offering different intriguing and alluring scenes.

Right now, the garage was quite, eerie quite that a needle released to the ground could make a bit of resonance; catching the ear.

Bel stood at her previous spot, she seems to be in a daze. Staring off into the distance where the car left in.

' I know , we will meet again... '

She proposed in her heart. Though she didn't know when or how it would be! But , there seems to be a formal connection established between the man and herself - over this shortest minute of eye contact.

Either way, the question still remains why?

Why did she suddenly feel this way! What was different about him , like she didn't know him or where to find him. Still she gave herself a hundred percent guarantee that she would meet him again.

Bel felt this way, even though she wanted to give herself this much hope; yet being a rational person, she knew for certain how she doesn't know who he was.

These feelings - like he was the pills she needed so much to calm her raging temper. That pair of eyes that could entrap her own being, leaving her helpless and open before him.

' was this what love at first sight means? '

But , why was it happening with her! And why didn't any of those men who approached her earlier leave her with this kind of feeling and longing to be with either of them.

These questions became spiralling in her head. Causing her to feel lightheaded, while she made it for the exit herself. One thing was certain, she won't be seeing the man anytime soon which made her breath a sigh.

" C'mon... Bel. It's just a man , you would get over it. "

She tried encouraging herself even if the craving was still there. Beside, it's better to kill these feelings than delve more into it; not knowing the identity of the other person she saw.

The next day was surely pleasant, with Bel being accompanied by Katie who was at the pastry shop. The place was nice with fancy decorated seats with a conducive and warm environment for sitting and relaxing.

The girls were currently engrossed in a conversation, though Katie seems to be doing all the talking and Bel seems a bit passive. Scrolling through her mobile phone, her eyes dull.

Her face held no emotion whatsoever, even if she wasn't searching for anything in particular through her phone.

" Girl , I'm really sorry. It was my fault... if only I knew he was like the rest. "

Katie's tone was apologetic. Her eyes were slightly moist while regret was laced in her tone. She placed her hands on Bel's arms.

Sometimes, no one knows a person better than their best friend; this reassuring feeling made Katie more sure that Bel was listening to her words while she carried on.

" Maybe I should have tried... "

At these words, Bel shot Katie a severe glance. That glance that could silence as well as cause a person to cower in fear.

" Katie. Stop , stop blaming yourself already... for the ninth time. "

Dropping her phone down while moving retracting her glance away from Katie. Bel slumped her shoulder towards the back of the seat where she became more relaxed.

Seeing how relaxed her friend was, Katie decided to drop the issue and self blame which she had been feeling ever since she knew about the incident.

Though she was the one who encouraged Bel to give Ken a chance, to try dating him for a chance and see if her opinions about guys would change.

" You really don't have to. Feeling guilty... like hell no. "

" I know , but... seeing how things turned out , not to mention how i insisted on you dating him. "

" Haha... please stop. "

" You know I was really scared. Sacred that as pretty as you are , you might end up pushing all your pursuers away. I know I've not told you that before , but... I was worried. Soon we will be leaving school and you need to loosen up and have fun."

Katie's words were filled with concerns, her eyes glimmering very bright while she tried expressing her point of view to her friend.

" That's... that's nice, but."

Bel saw the look in Katie's eyes , a rare yet very caring look which she knew was very genuine. Like how could she keep a secret from such a kind and open-minded person who loves her dearly.

" Well , I did see someone interesting. "

Bel said through grit teeth. While casting her gaze away towards the other direction, knowing how Katie's ear was very sensitive.

" Umm... and what's that. !"

Katie asked with a wide grin on her face - her eyes gleaming very brighter than before and she moved further in her seat towards Bel who knew how interested Katie was on what she had to say.

" Well , it's nothing really. It's just that , I think I saw someone interesting.! "

Bel manages to release this much, though she wasn't sure of the person herself. Still reminiscing on the feeling was something she couldn't put into words - the only thing she could say was how interesting she thought the man was.

" N-nothing... hello -o -o ! ! ! Maybe if it was someone else , it would be nothing. But... it's you. "

Katie emphasized her point, stretching out her hands towards Bel who seems slightly unsure herself.

Since she had known her, she had never talked about a guy. Talk more of looking at them - now she said ' interesting. ' how unreal were those words, was that still her or someone else!

" Ok fine...I think he was an interesting man."

" He's a man! "

" Yes... probably in his late twenties or something. "

Bel said flatly, rolling her eyes at Katie's unreasonable behavior.

" Yeah sure , no judging. "

" Katie c'mon..."

" I'm being serious. I would like to see this man , that could make my goddess so interested. "

Katie reacted, nodding her head slowly in acknowledgement of her words while she slowly sat up on her seat.

" Yeah , I'm clearly not sure we would get to meet again. "

Bel added, pouring a bucket of water on the slowly ignited flames.

" What , that's fucking stupid.! "

" Tell me exactly... what happened with the both of you.? "

" Oh Katie..."

" Don't tell me..."

Looking at Bel's expression, Katie seems to be able to tell just what happened during their encounter - how Bel nods her head in a slow affirmation to her thoughts proves it all.

" Damn... like that's been shitty. "

Katie said wiggling her brows with a slow laughter creeping into her face.

" Haha...come here you. The city is a small place , you might see him anytime soon.! "

She laughed. Saying these words while hugging Bel across the table.

' mmm...'

They hummed, finding warmth in each other.

" No let's order something.! "
