Kurv leaned in, sniffing his scent like it was going to change if she continued.
Elr stared still.. unable to move. `So she's turned from tigress to puppy? `
He blinked,, then why were sparks suddenly flying?
No denying it, she was too cute even up close.
Why was this happening to him? The more he tried to avoid her, the harder she made him fall.
The dead end he'd tried so hard to escape was all around him now.
"It certainly is, Mr. Stalker,, I've finally caught you.."
"... " `This girl.. what is she saying?`I swear, I'm innocent here.`
"I'll leave you with two options, get driving or spend the rest of tonight behind bars--" Kurv began counting her fingers, "under the charges of harassment.. social injustice.. infiltration of personal space.."
" How long are you going to accuse me injustly?" It sounded more like a fact than question.
"Long enough to make anyone believe me." Kurv released him and folded her arms, looking straight ahead.
"Darn you're so good at this."
"At what?"
" Manipulation. " Elr replied sharply, hitting the engine.
"Guess that's the only way you got all those scholarships." He muttered under his breadth.
Kurv Daynes flinched. Eyes wide. Ok, now he owed her a sentence-long explanation of how he knows so much about her.
The headlight flash right above them jolted her out of her thoughts.
"We're here." Kurv beamed.
"Finally!" Elr was the happiest here, bumping into those many portholes was already making him feel nauseous.
Kurv alighted from the car. "Thanks!"
Her smile was the sweetest, anyone that didn't know Kurv would think Elr gave her a free ride on hís own accord.
Without sparing another second, he zoomed off. Hoping never to cross paths with her again.
Back at the apartment, kurv opened the door and walked in. She turned on the lights and slouched on the couch.
"Where have you been!!"
She jolted at the sight of Sammy.
" It's 2 A.M in the morning, where have you been?!" That was Ari, she walked over to the sitting room and sat on the sofa next to Kurv.
Sammy's eyes were red from studying and sleeplessness.
"I can't believe you.. making everyone worry like that.. I couldn't even reach your phone."
" Sorry?" Kurv said, pouting like a bumblebee.
"You know more than any of us that won't work" Ari snapped." Speaking of which.. " her eyes scanned the couch,
"Where's the food?"
"Oh.. no.." Kurv looked for a simple way to say it. How could she forget..
"You forgot it?!" Ari and Sammy stared in unison.
~~~~~~~
`She just ruined my whole day.` Elr hit the brakes. "Another traffic?! Come. On!!"
He plopped off his wig and letting his black wavy hair fall loosely on his shoulders. He leaned back and tossed the long blue wig backwards onto the back seat.
"..."
The sound of polythene nylon caught his attention.
Elr looked behind him sharply, fearing it was a ghost or something scarier. To his horror, it was tons and tons of packaged foods and drinks.
`Why?! Just why`
~~~~~~~~
"How could you forget something so important?!" Sammy fumed at Kurv.
" I--"
The chime of the doorbell interrupted them.
Ari walked over to the door, as lazily as she could. Sammy and Kurv's argument was already weighing her down.
"What sort of visitor could one be expecting at such an odd hour -"
Her jaw dropped when she saw the handsome demi-god, blue hair, sparkly grey eyes that shone brightly behind that gold-tinted square-shaped glasses,, her mouth hung open trying to recollect herself and hoping this wasn't a dream.
She wanted to admire this sight for awhile.
Elr looked up at Ari. He had really expected Kurv to answer the door and was midway launching the takeaways at her face.
When he paused on seeing a different and unfamiliar person instead.
"Where's Kurv?" He asked plainly, his voice lacking any emotion ever existed in history.
Ari didn't mind his rudeness or attitude,, his face was such a sight to bore her eyes and mind into.
`Is she dreamy? Why's everyone around here so weird?`
Ari looked behind her and closed the door a bit. "No.. umh-- she's not awake." She lied.
If she called Kurv over now, then no doubt she would pour all her anger out on Elr. Ari couldn't risk such an embarrassment.
"Is she your friend?" Ari asked.
Elr looked for a very meaningful and less weird way to say it.
`Tch. I'll deal with her later.`
Two bodyguards stepped forward with so many goodies in their hands.
"She left this off at our table. Just stopped by to return them."
Of course he couldn't tell Ari that Kurv forced her way into his car, threw allegations at him, and left all the restaurant dishes in his back seat.
He couldn't tell anyone either.
Elr simply walked away, started his engine and drove off, accompanied by various escorts and cars.
Ari paused,, processed everything, an evil smirk grew on her face and she burst the door open.
Her mind racing with different thoughts she'ld use to tease Kurv later on about this particular incident.
"Sammy, don't kill her yet. Her Prince charming has saved the day." Ari beamed.
Sammy leapt forward, snatching all the foodstuffs that she would consume all by herself.
"What Prince charming?" Kurv asked, clueless. To think that Elr would actually go out of his way..
"Oh, don't diss me off. You have 10 seconds to spill it!" Ari threatened, eyes wide and hungry for rumors.
Kurv threw her gaze off of Ari. She inwardly decided —like Elr, not to say a word about it.
It'ld be weird.. and funny.
