TWO - An unspoken feeling

Ella POV

Heaving a deep sigh I headed towards the living room with my little sister Lily. There Simon was sitting and having fun chats with my uncle. 

My aunt was first who noticed me and came to me having her loving smile on her face. 

" Awww... My daughter. You are looking like a most beautiful angel. My god save you from all evil eyes." All I can only give her a nervousness filled smile nodding my head. 

As soon as my aunt finished speaking uncle got up from his seat and said with a laugh. 

" Here our princess came. Now hurry up you both young birds. Enjoy your date. And Simon you have to take good care of my daughter, otherwise, I'll break your legs"

All people in the leaving room started laughing including Simon. My uncle and aunt were very happy when they got to know that me and Simon are in a relationship, which I never expected from my family. They were long known for several years. Other than that our families have good relationships. Seeing their smiley faces now I'm feeling much more relaxed. Now I’m rest assured that it's a good discussion of accepting his love proposal. He actually is the perfect match for me and my family. 

Simon was looking more handsome with those Korean fashion blazer suits than he usually used with his casual t-shirts. He is actually not that nerd type even if keeps his studies on top priority...tall, with Indian fair skin colour and straight short hair with deep brown eyes in shorts he is not less than any model star. Actually, he is the star and only gentleman of our college campus. 

Simon stretched his hand asking permission to hold mine. When I gave my hand to him a charming smile crept in his lips, suddenly he kissed in the upper palm of my hand and said with a sweet voice 

" You are looking so pretty, Ella. " what I saw in his deep brown eyes we’re so many emotions, affections and admirations like he was worshipping some goddess. I still can not believe it’s all actually happening and now I’m finally in a relationship with my childhood sweetheart.

“ Thanks! “ I said him in response and he gave me his most charming signature smile. 

“ Alright alright, kids! Now go for your date, don’t waste your time here. Okay! Go and enjoy your times. “ my uncle told waving his hands to us. Simon smiled at my uncle leading me towards the existing door.

Finally, we gave our bids to my uncle, aunt and Lily. 

In between, thirty minutes or so we reached our destination. When I looked at the restaurant what I saw was that this was the most expensive restaurant in Mumbai city. Simon took me to a most expensive luxurious hotel which I never thought that he would do so. I felt bite uncomfortable go further. I mean I never had gone to a luxurious five-star restaurant before ever. 

"Simon, why in this expensive restaurant?? We can go somewhere bite less expensive. "

I said with nervousness. Looking at this most expensive restaurant all those nervousness came back to me which I thought they had already gone. But Simon gave his signature smile and comforted me

"Ella… I know what you are thinking. But trust me I can afford this. And I want every single thing perfect on our first date. Please don't hesitate about it. Just give a try with me. "

Who can deny his charming request? At least I don't have that cruel heart to, deny him. But the problem is the bad feeling which is increasing with every single second.

 Holding his hand I headed towards the restaurant. We reached to the top roof of the restaurant by elevator and as per his private booking, the table sights were all blank. No wonder it is the best restaurant ever I had seen. Simon made me sit first then he took the seat opposite mine. 

As he said, everything from the drinks to dinner was perfect. It was really great the feeling of having him with me. It's not the first time that I'm having dinner with him, but it was a different feeling from others. And with him and his conversations don't know where time flew. As time passed I felt like a unique bonding was starting to form between the two of us. Now I’m feeling more relaxed.

But suddenly I felt an intense gaze on me. But when I looked around there were no one. So I ignored that feeling and started chatting with Simon. 

When we finished our dinner I excused from Simon and headed towards ladies restroom to fix my makeup. Still, I was feeling like that someone is looking at my direction. But again there was no one around me. I fastened my steps and got into the restroom. I can feel my heart is beating from an unspoken feeling. 

What the fuck is this. I must have gone mad. Kicking out my nonsense thoughts I splashed some water on my face and looked at myself on the mirror.” Calm down, Ella. You stupid girl, it’s your first date. What did Lucy say? Take a long breath. Calm down. It’s all just the results of your nervousness and nothing else. “ I calmed myself patting my chest. Then made again some light makeup as my bestie taught me to do. 

But things have not gone how I thought to. When I came out of the restroom suddenly my left wrist was caught by strong fingers and dragged me towards the corner. I could feel the pain of my back which got hit on the wall by a sudden force. 

All these happened in a quick second that I didn't have the time how to react and in the next moment, a pair of lips were on mine. As those pairs of lips touched mine a chill ran through my body. I never thought that my first kiss will be forcefully taken by a stranger psycho on the corner of a hotel.
