10. Start of a Friendship

He came out of the bathroom and walked into the closet where I was styling my hair looking at myself in the tall mirror. He was fully dressed and I swear his silver eyes could just steal my heart away. I could look into them and not get tired. They had this sucking efect.It's like they were looking at me wanting me to keep staring at them and that somehow made me afraid. The good kind of afraid. I wasn't afraid of him. It's like the afraid of wanting to find out more. (I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry. Hi hi hi!)

I wanted to find out what secret those eyes held. I wanted those eyes to look at only me. I really don't know what was happening to me because it was like my mind was thinking about one thing and my heart was thinking about another. And I was inclined to follow my heart that was obviously winning.

I hadn't known. Adrian for long, just for a day, but here I was. Getting sucked into his lovely eyes and me thinking of wanting those eyes to look at me more. I think I must have been bewitched. *ahem*

"I love your golden hair," he said

as he came near me and it was good because he broke my strange train of thought.

"Is it natural or you have dyed it?" He asked as he brought his hand to pat it.

I never let anyone touch my hair by the way, even Beau who I love from here to heaven and back, but I found my neck bending towards his hand. I was anticipating that touch and oh, it was so smooth. I didn't even care that I had just styled my hair. I leaned in as he touched my hair in these slow smooth motions. I felt like a cat being petted by the owner and I almost purred. (Ah! I need to go to the hospital. I need to get my head and heart checked.)

"It's natural. And it's weird because no one in my family has golden hair. Both my parents had black hair even my little sister," I said as I stood straight breaking away from his touch. If this continues, we wouldn't go to school. I was sure of that.

"It suits you well," He said as he raised his hand to touch it again but I dodged.

"And I like your blonde hair. It suits your silver eyes, well" I complimented him and it was true.

His blonde hair looked so good on him. It made him look... (let me thinkil of the right word)... charming (I mean the hair not him. I know you have already started judging me but it isn't what you think. Okay? Don't forget, me and him are just friends.)

Anyhow, back to the story.

"Why haven't you eaten? The food will get cold," he said as he moved to style his hair too.

I didn't want him to know that I was waiting for him and so I said, "Oh, the food is here already? Let me go and start eating." I walked out before he could say anything and I heard him chuckle. Did he notice my lie? Whatever.

He joined me and we started eating. The food was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. What made me comfortable was that he ate as much as I did. I didn't have to try hard to be myself when I was with him. It's like we had known each other all our lives. I felt a bit, I mean just a little, bit of regret for not giving him a chance much earlier. Anyway, better late than never right?

We finished our breakfast arnd he drove us to school. When we arrived, everybody was looking at us strangely. I didn't know why and I didn't care. It was a good thing none of them had the courage to approach us. I noticed that whenever Aiden would notice someone looking at me, (or was it us?) he would go all cold and that drove people away. He looked scared when he had that cold unfriendly aura all around him but strangely enough, I was not afraid of him.

I took him to his class today. He insisted on taking me but I declined. It was my turn to return all the favours he had done. My turn to show him that I'm gonna try and be a good friend that he yearned for. He was so happy showing me his class and when I told him that I will go for him so that we can take lunch together, he was so ecstatic and I was happy seeing him happy.

Don't ask me why. I just am. (Are those raised eyebrows I see? I swear I just want to be a good and a caring friend).

He was so easy to please. Our friendship started great and I hoped it would stay that way.
