Chapter 4
"Yo Gurl where you at? Look who is here!!!!!!"
I heard her even before I turned around. Soph! She was finally here. I ran towards the entrance literally bouncing in excitement. And there she was...
"Sophie Wophie!" I squealed in excitement. She was unloading the luggage from the car. She turned around as soon as I called out to her and my god! She had't changed a bit. She was still a mother effing giraffe with her height. She still had the cheeky look to her face..and her eyes held that light that always makes me wonder what keeps her so optimistic. Her hair were dark brown, falling in tresses. Same old sophie! Ah how I have missed her!
"Ams! Mon cherie!" she ran towards and in the blink of an eye she was hugging me like she was cuddling with a teddy bear. I laughed at her eagerness and hugged her back with equal passion. Throughout all this chaos she has been the once constant, that one friend that you need to just be by your side. Even though we weren't face to face all these months but the fact that she was just there for me made it a lot easier for me to keep living. After Mom, Rachi Di, and Jazz she is the only one that I trust the most! She is like the second home for me. Even if I am having a bad day she will say something totally random and optimistic just to make me laugh. When I use to run low on inspiration she would make these cheesy but real remarks just to help me gain motivation. If I fall she'll always be there to pick me up. If I lose she will always be there to tell me never to give up. If I am lost she'll always guide me to the right path. Like she has for months now...which is why she is my best friend. Truth be told I sometimes wonder what good did I do to deserve such a caring and loving friend. Seriously I consider myself lucky that I have Sophie with me as a friend, as a benefactor, and a well wisher or else I don't know where I would have been today.
I could feel her crying while hugging me and to be honest I had tears clogging my vision as well. Ah we were such melodrames!
"Gurl...you'e turned me into a freaking drama queen. You left for a few months and look how I've become. It's all your fault!" Soph said with her usual tone while detangling herself from me.
"Haww! My fault? You vache !!!" I hit her playfully on her upperarm.
"Ok Madame! Arrtez s'il vous plait . I was just kidding yaar! I missed you loads girlie!" she squealed again.
"I've missed you loads too Sophs! So how was your flight? Everything go smooth?"
"Ah don't ask gurl. The flight was awesome but the traffic in INDIA! Grrr...c'est tres mal! I literally had to sit in the car for freaking 5 hours! 5 EFFING HOURS?! Do you know how long that it? Argh my butt hurts from sitting that long" she said hysterically and not even considering the fact that we were standing outside on the road where people passing by could hear her clearly. I shook my head while sighing. Somethings never change!
"Soph I am right here! You don't have to shout so loudly alright? And why don't you go inside first and meet Mom, Rachi Di, and Jazz? I'll bring your luggage in." I said in order to make her stop warna she would have carried on for hours. Literally.
"Oops! I am sowiee. But you don't have to carry these bags alone..I'll do it. Here give it to me!" she said as I was trying to lift a bag from the roof of the car.
"No! Don't..I'll do it. You go inside and meet everyone. They have been waiting for you!" I replied.
"Oh Mon Dieu !!! I have an audience...pehle kyun nahi battaya Ams! Mein challi !" and just like that she ran into the house. Well...Mom, Rachi Di, and Jazz are gonna be surprised!
I turned around to accomplish the task at hand. Lifting the bag from this car...seems to be harder than I thought it would be. It's ok I am going to try again. All those days in the gym weren't for nothing. I gave it another try...and another...and another...but each time I failed miserably. Argh what did Sophie put in here! Mon Dieu! Je suis fatigue.
"Kuch madat kardon ?" said a voice from behind me. I turned around too quickly and bumped into a broad chest. I fumbled a little and hands shot out towards my shoulders to keep me from falling.
I looked up to find...Mantu The Tour Guide standing there just holding me as if it was nothing! Phirse...Why do I keep bumping into this guy? Gawd!
"You again! Are you following me? Because I swear if you are I am going to call the police!" I said vehemently.
"Relax Madam! Hum sirf madat car rah e the!" he said while trying to calm me down. And he was not going to succeed!
"I don't need your help!" I said nonchalantly. What does he think of himself? First buying shoes for me and now offering help. I am not stupid! I know all these tricks! I have lived in Paris for Godsake!
"Yeah I can see that!" He said gesturing towards his hold on my shoulders. Oh...right. I didn't realize he was holding me for this long. Uff! He's getting on my nerves I swear to God!
I shrugged of his hands a little rudely and turned around to lift the bag off the roof again. And this time I am going to get it done! As soon as I kept my hands on the bag I felt his hands encircle around me and reach towards the bags. We were close..closer than comfortable to be honest. I could feel his breath on the back of my neck and good Lord it was doing things to me that it shouldn't be doing! I turned my face to get a better look at him and Oh Mon Dieu! His face was so close to mine! Inches away...from my lips. When people said they feel butterflies in their stomach at a particular moment I used to laugh at them! Hell I even made fun of Soph when she said the exact same thing looking at her crush in 8th grade! It's because I used to think that feeling didn't exist! But now...now I was feeling it! Literally my heart fluttered at this close proximity and I am pretty sure it was beating faster than Usain Bolt runs! At this rate it would pop put me chest in no time. Oh God I hope he can't hear it warna I might as well let an earthquake swallow me into the ground!
I didn't even realize when he lifted the bag, set it on the ground and moved away from me! It wasn't until he snapped his fingers in front of my face that I snapped out of my trance.
"Kahan kho gayi thi madam?" he asked while searching my eyes for an answer.
"Uh...woh...kuch nahi! I have to go Bye!" I said too quickly in order to get away from his presence. He was doing weird things to me that I couldn't recognize and I didn't like it. I swiftly walked past him and was almost to the entrance when I stopped short in my tracks.
"Ruko!" he said from behind me. I turned around to find him walking up to me and giving me the bag. Right...I had forgotten about the cursed bag! Argh if only this stupid thing would have come off by itself then I wouldn't have experienced such bizarre feelings!
"Merci...I mean...Thank you!" I said fumbling with my words. I quickly turned around and started walking inside the house before I embarrassed myself further.
"De Rien!" I heard him reply. Right...he knew french...
