She slowly made her way to the closed bookstore. Why did mom have to force me into a stupid book club? Just because I enjoy reading doesn't mean I want to talk about it. She pulled her messenger back higher up on her shoulder and slowly placed her hand on the door knob.
"It's now or never," She muttered to herself as she pushed the door open but the door refused to budge.
"What?" she mumbled as she tried it over and over. She also pounded on the door but frowned as no one responded. She tried peering into through the doors but saw nothing but dark shadows.
"Crap!" She muttered under her breath. "Did I come on the wrong day?" She glanced down at her watch. "Or maybe I'm just early?"
She spots a wooden bench a few doors down from the bookstore and so she sits down there and waits in hopes of someone to come.
After a few minutes she heard footsteps on the deserted street and looked up to see someone walking towards her dressed in full business attire.
It was too dark and his face was being shadowed by the awning on the shops he walked past towards her.
She quickly grabbed the book from her bag and opened it to pretend to read while keeping her eyes on him the entire time. For some reason he seemed to be in the same situation as he tried the knob for the bookstore a few times.
She let out a tiny giggle as he kicked the door and cursed under his breath in pain. "I'uh don't think it's open,"'
He turned towards her and looked at her with no expression in his face. A small smirk played at his lips as he came and sat down next to her on the bench. "You're here for the book club?"
She nodded and held up the book. "I'm a bookworm and so my mother just thought this would be better for me to do rather than waste all my time at home," she shrugged. "I don't know though. I really hate giving my opinions in front of people."
He leaned closer to her and smiled. "I hear you. I head a business corporation, Juneja Industries; and we have presentations day in and day out."
"Juneja?" Her mouth dropped open. "Are you Preet Juneja?"
He smiled and ran his hand through his hair. Why did everyone just assume that he was Preet? "I'm actually Prem. Preet's my younger brother,"
"Oh'I...sorry." She replied smiling.
"No problem. A lot of people jump to conclusions," Prem smiled. "I...uh what's your name?"
She smiled that she was actually talking to one of the owners of such a huge multinational company. "I'm Zahra,"
He put out his hand and she timidly put her's into his.
They both sat there unsure of how long it had been but as the sun started coming up slowly the both realized.
"We should go," Prem said softly as Zahra put her hand to her mouth to avoid showing him her yawn.
She nodded and laughed as he put his hand to his mouth for the same reason.
"Look what you started!" He accused her as he pulled her up beside him. "Do you want a ride?"
Zahra nodded as she linked their hands together. "Sure,"
Throughout the whole night they had spent talking they had discovered various things in common; and likes and dislikes and just there was some sort of compatibility between them and that gave Zahra the feeling of someone being for her. The way he always smiled every time she'd say something embarrassing and the way she'd giggle when he'd reveal a secret.
Something gave her the fact that this whole book club meeting was just a way for the heavens to help her meet the person she was always destined to.
How was it? 😳 I'd love to know what everyone else thinks 😊 Oh and yes I know it's short...but hopefully nice and simple? 😳
Love,
