Julianna’s pov:-
His eyes were something that mesmerised me, so intense and beautiful. He’s a very attractive man. His face has hard and manly features, his high cheekbones, jawline which is sharper than a knife, firmly smooth and thick dark brown hair, bushy, thick angular eyebrows, sharp nose and those pink defined cupid’s bow lips. Not to mention that beautiful flawless skin.
Fuck!
He’s a serious piece of art!
He was tall, so very tall with those broad, muscular shoulders and bulky biceps. He wasn’t all that built up huge man but looked like a sexy hot model. His face was emotionless and his aura was screaming power. He was dressed in a black suit, which fitted him perfectly.
This man is devilishly hot and sexy.
He stared down at my face, his gaze was piercing into my soul. I felt my throat dry as his gaze made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I stepped back while gulping hard. I could feel the tension in the air as he kept gazing at me while I was stepping back awkwardly.
“I’m sorry,” I said and my damn voice came out in such low volume that I doubt he heard it.
What the fuck, get your shit together Julia!
Say sorry and leave, Don’t fucking embarrass yourself.
I glanced at him and cleared my throat, “I”m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that… I was just trying to get away from him…” I said, looking at him, he was listening to me apologising.
“I’m sorry…” I added,
“Are you… alright?” He asked, his voice was deep, calculated, cool and earth-shattering.
His question threw me off guard, “Ye-Yeah,” I replied while blinking in surprise with a small smile on my face. His blue eyes stared into mine and I felt all bothered as those mesmerizing orbs searched mine, I tried my best to control myself.
“Thank you… for umm… helping me… hide… earlier,” I said awkwardly smiling,
What’s wrong with you, Julia? My subconscious kept yelling inside my head.
“Thank you,” I quickly added and turned around. Without waiting for his reply, I quickly began walking away from him. My heart was beating rapidly against my chest and my breathing was unstable.
Why is my heart beating so fast? What is this feeling?
Julia! My subconscious yelled,
What! I yelled back,
You’re walking in the wrong direction, She said,Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
What? I asked,
The direction to the work is that way, not this!
I looked around and realised that I was walking in the opposite, direction, “Fuck!” I cursed. I was so eager to run away from this hot-sexy dude that I didn’t notice where I was going. I slowly turned back while cursing at myself. I noticed that a man was still standing there and watching me.
Jesus, this is so embarrassing! I thought and walked back. I was trying hard not to look at him,
Why am I this silly?
My legs kept walking towards him, his eyes following my movements which made me feel nervous inside. As I walked just past him, I gave a small smile and quickly walked away. I could feel his eyes boring into my back as I partially ran away from him.

I reached my workplace, but my mind was still hazed by those beautiful eyes, they kept flashing in front of my eyes. Those emotionless blue orbs and the way they stared at me. I shook my head, trying to get it out of my head as I entered the Dine. Mike was there doing his work, hearing my footsteps. he turned around and glanced at me. I smiled at him while walking inside.
“How is this now?” He asked,
“She’s resting,” I replied while tying my hair up and putting on the gloves.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you, Liam came by… asking for you!” he said,
“Oh god!” I groaned,
“He’s quite determined to date you… ” he chuckled while glancing at me, I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head.
This guy can never understand anything.
“Why can’t he just give up already,” he added, “You keep running away from him and give excuses and yet… dude never gets it!”
I felt a tinge of guilt as Mike said that I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but I really don’t want to date him. I don’t have any feelings towards him, I really don’t understand how to tell him this.
He’s a good guy and helped me many times. I have to sit down with him and tell him clearly why I can’t date him. He at least deserves to know about it.
***
After work, I took my things headed out of the Dine and made my way to my apartment. Mike and I were the last members walking out,
“Bye,” I said while waving at him,
“Bye,” he said while walking in the opposite direction, I turned back and began walking away. It was pitch black outside, there wasn’t a single person in sight. The cold night breeze and quiet streets of San Francisco were really making me calm, my mind was blank with no thoughts.
I pulled my hands around me and continued to walk, a sigh left my lips as Stella’s condition rushed to my mind. I wish she gets back to her normal self, it worries me looking at her drinking all the time and crying over and over again. She’s a strong woman and watching her breaking down this way was really upsetting.
All of a sudden, I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped, and my heart began to beat rapidly as I felt someone’s gaze on me. I slowly turned back and saw no one behind me. I looked around and panic surged inside me as I saw no one there.
I could still feel someone watching me, I quickly turned around and began walking faster. My heart was pounding inside my chest, and adrenaline pumped through as I felt someone walking behind me.
My legs began to move faster and anxiety arose inside me, suddenly a large hand landed on my shoulder and a loud scream escaped my lips.
“AH!”
