Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (ebook offline txt) 📗

could even bet, that there was surely no road left in this entire town that these wheels didn't cross, in the last few hours. And at last, I found her in the middle of nowhere while she was busy wandering around in the dark? Seriously? “Do you know, for how long I was looking for you? Do you have any idea how worried I was when you dared to cut my call? Do you know how dangerous it is to roam around at this late hour?” I kept yelling whatever came to my mind without a break. Yes, I was indeed angry. My mood was no better in the first place due to the bike incident and now she ended up giving me panic attacks. So, obviously, I am not wrong to act like such. Right? The silent night wasn't silent anymore, at least where we were standing. “Do you know how silly you are?” I was about to say 'yes' to her question unconsciously, just when I realized what she had asked actually. To fool me? No, no, no, don't you dare to make fun of me now. That won't lessen any of the lectures that you have to get for your stupidity. But even before I could say that, I was distracted by a giggle which was not Sam's of course. It was giggle like a sweet melody. Only then I had realized that Sam was not alone, which I did fail to notice earlier. Yes, I was so occupied with scolding Sam for her wrongdoings, that my eyes couldn't see the girl who was standing beside her all along and also watched me to yell at Sam like a stupid. She did watch me embarrassing myself. Everything went blank in my head for some moments as my gaze got fixed on her unknowingly. Under the dim light that was coming only from the headlight of the bike only to take away the darkness, at least for some moment, the first thing about the yet unknown girl which caught my attention and successfully took my breaths away in an instant, was her dimples. They were absolutely gorgeous. I felt my heartbeats getting louder and louder. As if it was trying to tell me something which I was yet to understand. But, Even then I wondered that I never saw her before. How come Sam knows her? Who is she? And what is she doing outside this late at night, with Sam? So many questions kept popping up in my mind, while I totally forgot that I was standing before them just like some statue without any words, while only my eyes kept shifting from Sam to the girl and again to Sam. Of course, I was left clueless all of a sudden. My confidence betrayed me at the very moment when I was desperately looking for it. My mind was telling me to be cautious whereas my heart was behaving like some crazy, who didn't even want to listen to me. But, unfortunately, I became mute. “Okay!!. I think you are done with all your yelling for tonight. As I can see you have no more words to form out of your once nonstop mouth, so, wait here,... I am coming back soon.” As if Sam's words had pulled me out of some magical trap that I kept drowning deep within, without my knowledge. And the strange thing was, it even felt good in some way. What's happening? As if even the wind around us had stopped to listen to her melodic voice, “Oh, no Sam. It's just two more houses to get to my place. See, we are almost there, and you can even see me getting inside, from this spot. So don't worry, I can take care of myself from here. You go with your friend. It is indeed late.” When Sam was about to leave from my sight once again to send her home maybe, that dimple girl whose name I don't know yet, stopped her from doing so, causing Sam to frown at me for no reason. “Still, let me send you home, at least when we came all this way, a little more won't harm.” Sam did reply to her but keeping her stern eyes at me instead, as if she was throwing daggers to kill me for my great sin. It didn't take time for me to realise that it was my queue to apologize for barging in, out of the blue. So without further delay, I tried to avoid the deathly threats that Sam was sending me with her eyes, I opened my sealed mouth again, but with a polite tone... “Yeah, I am sorry for coming all of a sudden to interrupt in... “ But even before I could finish she had cut me off in between my words. “It's okay. I can understand your worries. And don't worry about me, it's just a few steps from here to my home.” Just when she said, I saw her leaving us with a gentle smile on her face, which once again couldn't hide her stunning dimples. This is the first time in my life that I was reluctant to turn away my eyes from someone. As if I am already addicted. Addicted to those dimples. “Who is she?” I asked Sam with utmost curiously, right after when we saw the girl had already gone inside, within a few minutes. “Long story. Let's go home first.” With that, she got on the bike behind me, and I was all ready to take us home as soon as possible. But, if I think, something is not right. I mean, I was super super angry on my way to find Sam, but now, on my way back, I am angry but still, I am happy as well. I know it is confusing. This never happened to me either. I am confused too. You see, How can someone be angry and happy at the same
