Dinner invitation

Felix POV

I know by now Ella must have reached home already because it was already 2.00 pm, and she had not texted me yet. I might not love her anymore but I still care for her a lot.

Just some few seconds I hear my phone's incoming message. I take it out and read it.

Ella - Babe, I have reached home safely. Sorry I did not text sooner.

Me - it's ok babe, I understand. I am happy that you are already there.

Ella – me too babe, though I miss you a lot already. I feel like coming back to you.

Me - babe, just enjoy sometime with your parents. I will be fine. Talk to you later, I have some work now.

I did not feel like talking to Ella. She was so stubborn and boring occasionally. I mean we were just together this morning, how could she miss me in just some few hours? It was simply a pretence, and it was boring me so much.

I was happy that she was already at her house. I was a bit worried that she had not texted me, but now that I knew she was alright my heart settled.

I was glad that today's work was over already. I hurry so that I can catch up with Sarah because the whole of today I have been meaning to talk to her. I just cannot afford to miss her now.

"Hey, Sarah.” I almost shout. I was forgetting I was still in the office premises. I ran to catch on to her and I almost slipped. "This is so embarrassing, how can I fall in front of a girl I like."? I ask myself, smiling.

“Take it slow, Felix.” She says. I can notice that she is happy seeing me.

“Ooh, I am sorry I almost fell in front of you. What an embarrassment.” I end up saying. I notice I was beginning to grow fond of her, even though we were not that close yet.

“No need to worry. You don't have to feel shy in front of me, I am just a normal human. Come on.” She ends up saying. I realize that being with her was so sweet and I was really enjoying her company.

“So what is the hurry for. Do you have something important to ask me, maybe.? She asks. I notice she is so eager for me to speak, and I figure that this is the right time to ask her out.

“I just wanted to invite you over for dinner, if you don't mind, that is.” I find my voice. I was shaking out of fear. I don't want her to refuse my offer because that will hurt me so much.

“What are you saying Felix, we have just known each other for such a little time, and now you are inviting me to dinner?” She asks.

I can't find words to say to her. How can I tell her that from the first day I saw her, my mind was only thinking about her? How can I say that I am deeply in love with her and I just want to be with her? To hold her so close to me and just stay that way forever. Oh! How I wish.

“I want to know you better, Sarah. “ I say, looking straight into her eyes so that she could see how serious I was.

“Sure. I will come. At what time, maybe I intend to be ready before the time.” She says.

I cannot believe she had accepted my offer. I seemed.so impossible. I mean, she looked like a straightforward person. I bet she could not resist my looks because I was so handsome. I guess I believe so.

“At 8.00 pm. I will text you my house address. All you need to do is give me your number.” I say. I just wanted her number anyway, and that was just an excuse.

“Sure. Let me write it down for you.” She says, and I give her my phone, so she could save it. I was dying of happiness. Really, I never thought that this moment would ever come. It just seemed so impossible.

“Thank you. I will be waiting for you.” I say, taking back my cell phone. I just wanted to hurry, so i could prepare dinner for us. I just wanted her to taste my food today, so she could judge whether I was a good cook or not. I am surely waiting for that moment when she will come to my house.

“I will be there in no time, sir.” She says as she begins to leave.

I just stare at her smiling like a crazy person.
