32. It’s you?
Martina and Terry moved from one store to the other. Martina could swear that her legs were going numb yet the lady seemed energetic as ever.
” Don’t you think this is enough? When will you get to wear all this things anyways?” Martina grumbled unhappily. If it wasn’t for her need to shake off her father, she would never have agreed to accompany Terry shopping. She hated the idea of shopping.
Martina was walking absentmindedly looking around while Terry tried on some of the clothes she had chosen. She was lost in thought when she bumped into a human wall.
The intensity of the collision was so big that she stumbled and almost fell. Dimitri was here to get his mother a birthday gift. He was lazily strolling around looking for something that would please his mother. He could have send his secretary but since he was Free and bored, he decided to do it himself. He had also came hoping to bump to her again.
Ever since he set his eyes on her, he had been pulled towards her. Is this what they call love a first sight? He wondered. But ever since then, he was itching to see her again but it’s like she disappeared into thin air.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
His buddy had also informed him that they were doing their best to locate her because from their research, she didn’t exist in the database. She was like a ghost, present but not present.
He was checking something when something collided with him. He turned to see a lady almost falling from the force and instinctively extended his arms to hold her.
Martina was prepared for the incoming pain and closed her eyes but the pain bevery came. Instead, she was pulled and ended up crashing on a sturdy and broad chest. He guy had his hands tightly wrapped on her waist making the posture intimate. Looking up, she recognized the man instantly. He was the same man she had accidentally bumped Into at the airport. It seems that their destinies were crossed, if not how could they bump Into each other within a span of Less than a week.
Dimitri lowered his head to observe the Lady in his arms. For a split second, he saw his Goddess but after blinking twice, he found that his eyes were deceiving him. It seemed that he missed her Such that he was seeing her in every woman that came his way. He was enraged by his behavior and he ended up pushing Martina away. She was caught off guard and before she could stabilize her footing, she found herself lying on the floor, butt first.
Martina could feel her blood boiling. How dare he push her?
” Miss, be observant on where you are going and don’t bother using Such cheap tricks to get the attention of men, I feel disgusted.” Dimitri spat, his voice full of disdain. He knew that it wasn’t intentional but thinking about making any body contact with a woman who wasn’t his goddess brought repulsion to him. He was known for being indifferent to women and that was with the exception of that soul that captured his heart and soul the instant he laid his eyes on her.
Martina was really mad but hearing his words, she almost spat blood from fury. Cheap tricks? To gain his attention? Was he even worth it? Did she have the time to do that?
She gritted her teeth in annoyance and just as she was about to retort, Terry came running to her.
” Aiyo! Why are you so careless? I only Left you for afew minutes and now you are laying on the floor like a janitor? Just what happened here.” Terry said and rushed to help Martina up.
” Louisa, you have to be careful, the floor is unclean, you might get sick.” She added dusting her friend’s clothes .
Martina did not say anything, she Just glared at Dimitri and turned away. She had to leave before she could beat the shit out of that guy. She was cursing him in her heart. Terry who was confused by her friend’s reaction looked between Louisa and the handsome man dressed in an expensive suit. She couldn’t relate nor fathom what transpired while she was in the changing room. The two parties were exchanging deadly glares making Terry dumbfounded.
” What the hell happened?” She asked no one in particular and when she didn’t get the answer, she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and followed Martina hurriedly trying to catch up with her.
Terry was wearing heels compared to Martina who had sneakers on, her movement couldn’t be smooth like Martina’s.
” Louisa, wait for me!” She called out loudly panting heavily. She had resulted to running to catch-up with the woman who was walking away hurriedly without looking back.
Martina who had just exited the Mall heard Terry calling for her so she slowed her pace.
When Terry finally caught up with her, she bend down, her hands on her knees panting as if she Just finished a twenty kilometer race.
” What’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly leave without saying anything? Did something happen when I was away?” Despite her weariness, her gossiping nature still emerged. She was eager to know what transpired making her friend so pissed off. Ever since she knew Louisa, it was her first time to see her this angry that means someone must have offended her.
” Nothing much, Just an asshole thinking that the world revolves around him.” Martina replied indifferently.
” Huh! You mean that handsome guy ?” Terry asked referring to Dimitri.
” What handsome? He’s not goodlooking at all.” Martina retorted angrily making Terry grin widely.
Terry’s grin brought goosebumps all over Martina’s body.
” What?” She snapped angrily.
” Isn’t this what is called Love hate relationship?” Terry said grinning like a Cheshire cat.
” Bullshit! Who would fall in love with that kind of a man, he’s not only ugly, but sick in the head.” Martina spat furiously.
