Boyfriend For Rent

Audrey POV

It’s been a while since I last saw Nora, and I can’t just atop thinking of her. I just wish I gat the chance to at least, let this whole mess off my mind, I really wanna tell her how I feel, even if it’s not gonna work out between us, I think it’ll relieve me, if I get it off my chest.

It’s still early in the morning, and I need to prepare for work, but I don’t just feel like going anyways. I kept tossing on the bed, the more I try getting her off my mind, the more she keeps occupying every inch of my thoughts, and I couldn’t help, but conclude that I’m madly in love with her. I don’t know why Audrey wouldn’t give us a chance together, I mean, we’re friends, right?

The sound of my ringing phone jolted me back to reality, and reaching to it, I scoffed. Speak of the devil, it’s Ivan calling.

“Yo dude!” I said, as soon as I picked the call, but almost froze, when I heard a different voice, it’s Nora.

“Hey Audrey, it’s me Nora.” Her sweet angelic voice came on, and I felt my heart skipped like a million times, as my lips slowly curved into an exciting smile. My heart flustered in excitement, as I felt butterflies in my stomach. Just how much I’ve missed her voice and everything, I really wanna see her, I want to hold her, I want to take in her scent, and hold her in my arms, but that’s just going to be a dream, that will never come through.

“Nor… Nora.” I stuttered nervously. I can’t believe she’s making me stammer, I can’t believe I’m getting nervous because of her. For the whole years of my existence, I’ve never felt this way for anyone, and to know that the only girl I feel this way for, is likely not to ever be mine, hurts like damn!

“Yes it’s me. It’s been a while since I last saw you around, so I borrowed Ivan’s phone to check up on you. How’re you doing?” Her voice sounded from the other end.

For some unknown reason, I felt really happy, hearing that from her, as I felt a strong wave of hope, rushed through me. Knowing that your crush actually cares about you, is something to be happy about, right?

“Oh, thanks alot for checking up on me, just been busy with work, but I’ll sure come over soon.” I said, trying as much as to hide my excitement. I can’t possibly let her know how happy I am, hearing her voice, right? That’ll be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done.

“Ok then, see you around.” She said, before the call finally disconnected.

“Phew! That was close.” I breathed out the breath, which I’ve been holding unknowingly. Staring at the screen of my phone, I kept giggling at nothing, like I just won a jackpot. I know I’m being all crazy, but damn, I can’t stop myself, I can’t help it.

Swinging my legs down the bed, I got on my feet, and stripped out of my clothes, before hurrying to the bathroom. Stepping into my big and spacious bathroom, I got under the shower, and turned it on, as I let the water down my body, relaxing my tensed muscles. I kept dancing under the shower, I just couldn’t control the happiness in me, hearing her voice, made me feel very much alive and energetic.

After spending almost an hour in the bathroom, I finally stopped the shower, and tied a towel around my waist, before stepping into my room, after which I got dressed, and in a few minutes, I was all ready for work, looking as stunning as always.

I took a one last glance at my reflection on the mirror, before I finally walked out of my room. I walked through the hallway, till I got to the deck of the staircase, and without wasting time, I descended down it, and soon, I was in the living room.

I was welcomed into the living room, with the aroma, coming from the kitchen, and I needed no soothsayer, to tell me that Laura, my personal chef, already made breakfast.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

As much as I’m late, leaving home without eating, is what I’ll never do. I don’t do that shit, no matter how late I am.

Walking my way to the dinning, I sat down, and waited patiently for her to come serve me. My mouth was already salivating at the food I haven’t seen, but I know I wasn’t gonna get disappointed, knowing how much of a good cook, Laura is.

She finally came out with a tray in her hands, which contained a covered plate, a bottle of an orange juice, a bottle of water, glass cup, and finally cutleries, laying neatly on the tray. She dropped it in front of me, as soon as she got to me.

“Good morning sir.” She bowed slightly.

“Morning Laura. How’re you doing?” I asked politely, as I started opening the plate. I just couldn’t wait to start devouring the pasta, staring back at me, seeking for my attention. I began eating immediately, and as always, she’s always the best cook. I shouldn’t be so surprised, knowing that to be her area of specialization back in school.

After I was done eating, I cleaned my mouth with the napkin, and stood up, before walking out of the dinning room. Once I got to the living room, I grabbed my car keys from the center table, before storming out, and soon, I was on my way to the parking lot.

Once I got to the parking lot, I hopped in on my car, and turned on the ignition, before driving out of the compound, and soon, I was on my way, driving to the bar. I love my job alot, and I enjoy doing it, not because of the pay, but because I have passion for it.

I was driving down the road, when a car suddenly double crossed me, almost colliding with me, but I was fast to step on the brake, bringing the car to an abrupt halt, making me jerk in the process. As if that wasn’t enough, the car didn’t make a move, as it remained in front of my car.

The heck! Who did that rubbish, huh?

Stepping out of the car angrily, I banged the door hard, before matching to the car. I knocked on the car window, and after what seemed like forever, the glass finally whined down, and I almost froze on my spot, at the sight I behold…
