Chapter 8 - Give It A Try! (1/2)

After a few minutes, Adam finally broke his silence. ”I don't know whether I like her or not. But there is definitely something different about her. Something which attracts me towards her, making me curious to know more about her. I want to know about her personal life, her choices, what she likes and what she doesn't. I don't know what is happening to me. I have never felt about someone like this. And it's not just because she's beautiful, although she is really beautiful. But it's like, there's more to her, and I want to know it all.”

”It looks like you are interested in her. This was bound to happen one day, sooner or later. Look at you, you are 24 years old but haven't been in a relationship. Not even one. There were girls in the past who were interested in you, but you never even bothered to lay a single glance at any of them. Even now you keep a good distance from all those socialites who keep trying to get close to you during banquets.” Blake replied, leisurely sipping his wine.

”All those plastic beauties want is this face and the wealth that accompanies it.” Adam scoffed.

”But it looks like there is finally someone who managed to get your attention just in one day.” Blake replied.

”It's actually at the first meeting, not in one day.” Adam replied with a lopsided smile.

”Hahahahaha! Hold your horses man. What about her? Is she interested in you?” Blake asked, laughing.

”Do you think we would be having this discussion if that was the case?” Adam rolled his eyes in response. ”She isn't like those girls who jump at the sight of a handsome man, right to him. Moreover, I have felt that she has her guards up against me.” He continued.

”What did you do the poor girl?” Blake asked only to receive a deadly glare in response making hit raise his hands up in the air. ”I am just kidding dude, Calm down. Maybe it's related to her past. You have the resources to look into it. Just do it then.”

”No. That's her private matters and I don't want to do such a thing. If she wants to tell me about it anytime in the future, I am all ears. But I won't look into it on my own accord.” Adam replied in a serious tone.

”Okay, but what will you do then?” Blake asked testing the waters.

”I don't know man.” Adam heaved out a frustrated sigh, running his hands through his hairs. He poured himself another glass and gulped it down quickly.

”Take it easy, I have never seen you drinking like this before. You are going to get drunk like this and it's not the weekend tomorrow. You still have to go to office tomorrow.” Blake said stopping him before he poured himself another glass. ”You have already had more than two glasses.”

”I know that you idiot. I just don't know what to do. She keeps popping up in my thoughts out of nowhere. I have tried busying myself, but it didn't help out. It doesn't matter how much work I drown myself in, it still happens. And it's just been two days. Just two days and I am going crazy over here. You know how I feel when things go out of my control.” Adam replied with frustration.

”Why don't you give it a try?” Blake advised him.

”Give what a try?” Adam asked in confusion.

”Look man, it's pretty obvious that you have taken a liking to her for whatever reason. So why not give it a try, huh?” Blake smiled.
