EPISODE 3

The next day was pretty boring until I did that.

Ziana after doing her work went to get a coffee for all of us.

''Hey, you idiot. Why don't you go and ask her?'' said Lessie to me. She caught me watching Ziana.

''Huh?'' I pretended not to understand.

''Go after her'' said Lessie and pulled my arm to make me stand.

I stood up and gave her a fearful look.

''Go on'' she said ushing me out of the room.

I went down to the ground floor by using the lift. As the lift's door opened, Ziana appeared in front of me. We were about to collide. But wait! Ziana was afraid of lifts, isn't she? I thought.

''Oh, ah Ziana'' I said watching her hopefully.

''Do you want something else?'' she asked after giving me my coffee.

''Ah no I-I. Will you marry me?'' I asked trying to look into her eyes.

''You're done? Now get aside'' she said after giving me an awful look.

Did she just insult me, I thought and turned around to face her but the lift got close as Ziana had pressed the button, back for the 8th floor.

''Ziana!'' I called and I woke up from my dream.

I was just dreaming. Actually, I was making a sketch and I don't know when I slept over it.

Ziana who was sitting on her chair behind her desk gave me a tilted look.

Lessie who was just in front of me gazed surprisingly.

I looked around and took the eyes of both ladies and felt embarrassed.

Did I scream that louder? I thought while trying to ignore their sights.

''I've done it Lessie! You may review it now and Jay!'' she got to her feet and said and called my name which made my insides get squeezed.

I took her eyes embarrassingly.

''Lessie will let you know the pictures you have to take'' she said and picked up some papers and advanced towards me.

''Read the whole contract and let me know what do you think about it?'' she said and gave me a hopeful look.

I took the papers from her, trying not to catch her gaze.

''Lessie go on with this, I do hope you'll agree'' she said and gave the same papers to Lessie too.

Lessie smiled and nodded.

''Want some coffee?'' Ziana asked politely.

''Yes please'' Lessie said and smiled.

Ziana nodded ''And Jay?'' she asked watching me.

''Err-Mhm Yes'' I said trying to ignore her sight.

She nodded and left the room.

I know she found the situation awkward so she went outside by saying that she needs coffee.

''Ay, you'' Lessie whispered hitting me with those papers.

''What?'' I said and watched her.

''What were you dreaming about?'' she asked taking her chair closer to mine.

''Me?'' I asked awkwardly.

''Yes, You! You screamed Ziana's name'' said Lessie and watched me.

''It was by mistake; this doesn't mean I had a dream about her'' I lied about the dream.

''You're lying! I know you dreamed something about her'' said Lessie hitting me with those papers again.

''Is it that obvious?'' I asked innocently.

''Yes, it is. She even left the room because you made the environment so awkward'' Lessie blamed me.

I just took her eye and felt embarrassed.

''Should I apologies to her?'' I asked watching Lessie innocently.

''Are you mad? Why are you gonna apologise to her? You didn't confess yet, did you?'' she said watching me.

''Confess?'' I said quickly finding her work awkward.

''I never said I like her'' I quickly told her so that the mindset she had, about me, get clear.

''Really? You're so stupid'' said Lessie watching me ''You know what I even know she feels the same too'' she added watching me.

I gave her a doubtful look.

That's why yesterday night she said all those things, I thought.

''But she's not advancing closer to you. I Dunno why?'' she said thoughtfully ''And you, a handsome idiot, is also doing nothing but ignoring his feelings'' she added and hit me a third time with those papers.

Even Lessie know about my feelings then why am I running away from them. I know I badly fell for Ziana then why am I not accepting it? I thought.

''You needa talk to her'' Lessie suggested.

''I cannot do that'' I told her ''You know me, I cannot express my feelings'' I added.

''And the same problem is with her, she's also afraid of expressing'' said Lessie ''I'm wondering what will happen to you guys?'' she added and gave me a thoughtful look.

Is Ziana also making me stay away or just I am running away, I thought.

After some moments, Ziana entered in.

''Here's the coffee'' she announced and put the coffee cups, she brought, over Lessie's desk.

''Thanks'' said Lessie and passed me one.

''Thanks,'' I said slowly.

''Weather's beautiful'' said Ziana watching out of the window.

''Yes, seems like rain's coming'' said Lessie getting up and going near to watch the weather clear.

''I'm leaving '' said Ziana watching Lessie.

''Why so early? I mean you can complete another chapter'' said Lessie trying to make her stay, perhaps for me.

''Yeah, but the weather's more important. I'll mail ya the next chapter after completing it in the night'' said Ziana and went to the desk.

She picked up her laptop and put it in the backpack.

''And I'll mail ya this one too'' she said.

She meant to say the chapter she had just finished.

''Okay, Ziana as you wish'' said Lessie passing her smile.

''Thanks,'' Ziana said and took her long coat and wore it before taking the backpack.

''Will see ya guys tomorrow'' she said and left the room after taking her coffee.

''She's perfect for ya Jay'' said Lessie watching me.

Lessie caught me watching Ziana going, once again.

I gave Lessie a frustrated look.

Lessie who was still standing near the window said ''She's driving a Bike!''.

Lessie was very surprised, watching her driving a Bike.

''That's a Kawasaki Ninja. It's normal for her" I said getting up to my feet and going near the window to watch her.

''That's cool'' said Lessie.

''We should also leave?'' I spoke.

''Yup'' Lessie agreed.

We both left for our homes.
