Chapter 13: Our first conversation
At last, Sierra got permission to drink. Although I would love to give her company, I had a sore throat so I decided not to drink or I might have to suffer from a throat infection.
Deep down I knew Sierra would feel alone while drinking and this was the main reason I brought Vicky with me so that nobody would feel left out.
They both cheered and we started a conversation. Sierra and Vicky were drinking so they were not in the mood to have any kind of serious talks.
As for Abraham and me, we started our conversation with intellectual talks. We both had the same tense. We talked about some serious stuff.
I noticed while he and I were talking Sierra and Vicky kept on staring at both of us and giving smiles to each other.
I knew they were smiling because they thought Abraham and I were getting along well.
All of a sudden Abraham got close and asked, "Hey, why are they smiling while looking at the two of us?"
When he said that I couldn't help myself and smiled. I didn't want him to know that I like him.
So, I made up an excuse, "Just ignore them. You know they are drunk."
We then continued our conversation. We didn't realize when our intellectual conversations turned into college stories.
We both started sharing our college incidents. What surprised me the most was that he had to touch my knees to display one of his stories.
He asked, "If you don't mind, can I touch your knee and then make you understand the whole scenario?"
I just couldn't believe that. Ever since I was a child I always wanted a guy in my life who would ask me before he even touched me and there he was sitting right in front of my eyes.
I was stunned. I was extremely happy when he asked for permission for which these days nobody is even bothered about.
That gesture of his had my heart. For the first time, I felt respected and valued. It's the twenty-first century, in this generation people don't even care to abuse others but there I found the person whom I have been searching for since I was in school.
While he was sharing one of the stories from his past Sierra suddenly shouted, "Haw! You have never told me this before. Why didn't you tell me this story? I have known you since my childhood and Naomi is meeting you for the first time and shared this story with her but not with me."
When I heard that, I felt happy. I was happy that he shared something with me whom he barely knows.
Although Sierra's words didn't affect him. He just shut her off. Sierra was annoyed but deep down she was happy that things were going smoothly between him and me.
We kept on talking and I noticed he was having trouble with his back. So I told him to sit in my place because I had support from behind.
At first, he refused but I was stubborn so we switched places. He was a true gentleman.
That day I got to know that he has never abused any single girl in his life. He respected women a lot.
It was almost five in the evening and he had a phone call.
When he hung up the call Sierra asked, "Who was that?"
"That was my mom. She was calling me for lunch," he replied.
Before she could say something I interrupted, "What? You haven't had lunch yet! Not done. Please go have lunch then we will continue."
To that, he replied, "It's alright. Chill! No worries, it's just that we were having a conversation so I thought I will eat later on."
I just felt wow when he said that. That time I knew he was not getting bored. As usual, I had high hopes.
I forced him to have his lunch and he listened to me at last. He reached his place for lunch while Sierra, Vicky, and I started talking.
Both of them were teasing me.
I got curious so I asked Sierra, "Hey, do you think he might have gotten bored?"
Sierra said, "Naomi, I am telling you not to worry. He didn't get bored at all. You two had similar topics to talk about and most importantly he shared his life stories with you which he never shared with me. So just relax and go with the flow."
Sierra was comforting. Even Vicky said that it was a good sign. Finally, both of them consoled me.
We stayed with Sierra for an hour or so. We clicked photographs and made some funny videos.
While talking we three made a plan so that Abraham and I could spend some more time together.
Sierra said that she would convince him to drop us and then we would visit some cafe. Then Sierra would act to shop so that I could stay with Abraham a little longer.
While I was making this plan with them I realized none of my friends had ever helped me in my matters before.
Sierra was the only friend of mine who always took the initiative first and who also tries to help me even without telling me.
I was happy that after so many years I have found a friend whom I have been searching for my entire life. Finally, I had a friend whom I can rely upon without worries.
I always used to take care of my friends but for the first time, she was my first friend who took care of me even though I refused to help. She was so stubborn that she helped me every single time.
She was very considerate as well as a thoughtful person, unlike others. It's very rare to find such people in this modern world.
After a few moments, we went downstairs. We were all set to go and execute our plan.
