The crush

Mia's POV

“James Williams, I just cannot seem to forget you.” I say as I look at his business card. It was not written much on it except for his name and cell phone number, maybe other details were not relevant to him or else he could have included them there.

I take my phone and dial his number. I think twice whether to text him or not. I was so nervous, and I could not think straight.

“What are you thinking about. You have been glued to that cell phone of yours for over twenty minutes now. What is going on.?” Amelia asked me.

“What are you saying, girl,” I say, laughing.

“Yes, I have been looking at you for a while now. What are you thinking about.” She asks.

“There is someone I have met today, he gave me his card, and now I am thinking if I should call or text.” I say. Since we share a room, there were no secrets between us.

“Who is he, is he handsome?” she asks

“He is so handsome my friend. He looks somehow rich, too. He even gave me a ride to work today, and since then, I have not stopped thinking about him.” I say smiling.

“Well, in my opinion, I think you should call him right away. Maybe he is also waiting for your call.” She says

I think she is right, I don't know what I was so afraid of anyway. He was the one who told me to call him whenever I felt like it, and here I am thinking about it so much.

I gather my courage and I call right away, I look at my phone until he picks.

James – Hello, who is this

Me – Hello, it's Mia Gilberts. You gave me your card this morning, remember, when you were dropping me off to work.

James – yeah, I remember. I just thought that you won’t call. Thank you.

Me – You are welcome. This is my number, you can save it on your phone.

I said, then hung up. I noticed I was shivering after talking to him. His voice was so deep and unique, I swear I can't get enough of it. I hope he will save my number, so we can start communicating right away. I cannot wait for it.

“What did the handsome guy say? I am curious.” Amelia says.

She was so stubborn. I could not even keep the joy to myself anymore because I busted out laughing.

“He was just happy I had called. I bet he was waiting for my call because he sounded happy.” I say. It is like I had liked him already.

“Don't tell me. You already have a crush on him because I can see it written all over your face.” She says.

“No, I was just happy that he had rescued me from today's cold weather. I wanted to thank him, that's it. That is the main reason I called him anyway.” I lied.

“Either way, just be careful girl, don't fall for him this soon, and you don't even know his character. Men are deceitful these days.” She says.

I know she is right. But what can I do? I can't even control what I felt right now. I mean, maybe it was love at first sight. Or perhaps I was just crushing on him.

“I know my friend, I promise to be careful.” I assure her.

I know I have never fallen in love before. This is the first time a man had turned on my feelings like this I have to be extra careful not to be driven by my emotions.
