DREAMFUL
CHAPTER:27
..."Dez!? Hiii!!!", he said. There's this term called 'shame' which everyone is obliged to have but then there is also this term called 'shameless' which was the perfect term to describe him. Nicknames are meant for people who care, not for people who abruptly end a two-year bond over a stupid issue. Destiny didn't utter a word and started moving toward her bicycle, Milo, Jason's dog followed her. Milo had been Destiny's ultimate favorite, it used to be her pet more than Jason's. She played with him more than Jason ever did.
"Dez.", he said again, "look even Milo loves you."
"Milo loves you?", what does that even mean. She sat up on her bike.
"Just listen, I wanna tell you some-"
"Tell me what, Jason? I think we've already discussed everything one month back".
"I'm sorry for everythin-"
"I don't need those.", she replied back and quickly pedaled away. She was pedaling fast. Like a stream of breeze, it was so quick that she almost bumped into an old couple and almost fell off her bike.'Did I have to see him early in the morning?', she thought.'Avenue 4 to 6 ride turned out bad!'
Riding fast is bad, definitely non-rule-following. But someone approaching a fast peddler from the opposite side looking at his smartwatch and having no clue about the fast peddler is worse. And the fact that you can't slow down quickly when you're cycling too fast is ultra-worse?
"EDWINNNNN! GET OUT OF-", before she could say the rest, she was knocked down, her bike beside her, and some red bruises on her arms and legs.
"Hey, Dez, how are you? Didn't expect you here-"
"ARE YOU CRAZY? I KNOW YOU ARE. I SHOUTED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS TO GET YOU OUT OF MY WAY, BUT YOU DIDN'T ! WHY? OH COZ YOU WERE BUSY LOOKING IN THAT STUPID WATCH OF YOURS!", her face was all red and annoyed. People around looked at them while jogging. Edwin put back his hair and said,
"Well...who rode faster?"
"I HAD REASONS!", she shouted back.
"Absolutely sorry", he said, "Now, come on, get up."
"I can't hear any more sorrys today.", she said, finally returning to her normal voice.
"Okay. No sorry. Get up, Dez.", he said, still stretching out his arm.
"I don't need your help!", she said angrily, picking herself and the bike up. She dusted herself while looking at him.
"What?"
"You look good.", he said with a smile. She let out a sarcastic laugh and said,
"Yeah, yeah, I was just knocked down right here at 7 in the morning and you really enjoyed it.". He laughed.
"Like from the day we met-", Destiny started, but then bit her tongue mid-sentence.
"I mean since the coat ruining episode, you've done so much. First, ruined my new coat, second, I almost fractured my leg when you did that doltish prank in the gym, third, this, and not to forget the mini things you've been doing here and there which have been sooo annoying!", Destiny completed in one breath. He looked at her and laughed one of his heart-melting laughs but it spited Destiny at that time.
"You remember everything, huh? Cool memory, if I had that sharp level of memory I'd have topped college."
"Like yeah whatever", Destiny said, getting up and picking her bike, "you remember things which happened one month back, don't you?", she completed, sitting back up on the seat, took a turn, and started pedaling.
"Listen up!". She rolled her eyes and looked at him,
"Now what is it?"
"You said you had reasons for riding fast, it's dangerous, may I know what were those reasons?", Edwin said, hurrying his bike beside her.
"No, you cannot.", she answered, raising an eyebrow.
"If this question, Dez, I would have asked you at the interview, you would have answered me with all your perfectness like 'yes sir, sure I-.", Edwin said, the last sentence mimicking Destiny. This made her crack up wild.
"No not at all sir!", she said, still laughing while holding one handle of her bike.
"Like hello? Do you want me getting kicked out of the pageant?", she said with a smile. This time, not a sarcastic one, just a genuine one that was heaven to look at. Her phone started buzzing, it was Grace,
"My sister! She always keeps calling! Bye!", she said and turned for home. Maybe, Avenue 4 to 6 ride wasn't that bad.
