¤¤¤¤¤¤FLASH BACK¤¤¤¤¤
Clara was on her way for lecture, she was quite late, she walked in haste, twice faster than normal.
She heard someone calling her name.
She turned back to look at who it was, while still walking but saw no one.
Ben was also coming, but his gaze and focus was on his phone. He was too engrossed in whatever he was doing.
The deed has been done before clara could return her gaze back to the road.
They both bump into each other.
Ben loosed his grip on his phone and it went flying in the air and crashed to the floor.
They both raised up their head in the same manner and gazed at each other interchangeably.
“hello beauty.”
ben sang out trying to get her attention, coz clara was busy admiring him in her mind.
Ben was the type of those masculine guys with broad chest, he was handsome and his cute voice did not help matters either.
Ben frowned seeing her grinning at him, displaying her white sets of teeth. But he was smiling deep down.
“oh!, I ~ i~ i’m sorry.”
she stuttered, getting hold of herself from the short trance holding and sealing her mouth.
Ben smiled at her fully, seeing the effects he had on her.
“its okay.”
he said and picked his phone from the ground, surprisingly, nothing happened to the phone except for a slight scratch on the screen of the phone.
“i’m really sorry.”
she apologized again.
“oh! C’mon, its nothing, actually its nothing” he replied her smiling.
The phone vibrated in his hand and started ringing, he looked at the caller, it was his hearthrob, nancy.
He answered the call right in her presence.
“hello dear”
ben spoke into the phone.
“yes!.”
“nancy, i know.”
“okay, i’m sorry, i’d make it up to you this weekend, it’s gonna be a surprise.”
“i love you”
“byeeeee!.”
that was all, what clara could decipher from the conversation, ben had with the caller.
It was obvious that whoever, he spoke with was his girlfriend.
She frowned but just shrugged it off.
“i’m sorry for the interruption, i just had to pick the call. Erhm!- by the way, i’m benson.”
he intoned smiling cheerfully at her.
“clara.”
she replied, posing a straight face.
“wow!, nice name, u’ve got”
he complimented grinning at her.
“thank you and nice meeting you”
she said, extending her hand for a handshake.
“oh! It’s my pleasure”
he replied.
“Oops!, i’m sorry, i’m already late for lecture, i hope we see some other time”
she said, hurriedly walking away
“oh! Yeah!, sure. But sorry, clara. Can i ge your digits?”
he quickly added, seeing that she was already walking away.
“sure.”
ben gave her his phone and she typed in her number. She handed the phone back to him.
“thanks very much.”
he appreciated.
“you are welcome”
she replied him and left.
Ben stood there, wondering why she suddenly changed towards him.
He had noticed after speaking with nancy, she had been replying him coldly.
He shrugged and took a last look at her.
Coincidentally, clara also looked back at him. And their gaze met.
She knew she would get him soon, unknown to her, the caller was nancy.
Her friend, they were both course mate. She never told her, that the cute guy, she was admiring, to be hers was nancy’s boyfriend. Until nancy introduced him to her.
