I still sat in acute silence.

What Just happened??

I rubbed my eyes, suddenly feeling tired. I have been mistaken for lot of things because of the way I look. And believe me being called a Gay is still steps higher on the ladder from being called a drug dealer, a mafia –bodyguard and even being called a serial killer (I hit a life phase where I grew my hair out and stopped shaving my beard).

But still hearing it from a Goddess, even before asking her out was a bit too much even for me.

I sat on a very plush chair with all of my clothes and things returned to me. Still I felt empty, like a very important thing is not with me.

Oh God!! I heaved down, put my face into my hands and sighed loudly. I have been doing this a lot today. I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride which is still running & do not know when it will finish its course.

I sighed again.

With all that happened… I couldn't even get her Name.

I don't need her Phone no.

I could get her whole Bio Data with medical insurance details, College marks and even her ancestors’ details... a complete dossier on her life. So I know her Home, Work Place, Restaurants she likes, favorite color, etc....

Shit…

I swiped a hand over my hair. This girl has taken away my damn brain’s functionality and to tell you the truth... even my heart.

Oh that smile.... The whole room lit up around her. She took my breath away. I felt like a boy in his puberty not knowing how to talk to a girl. I couldn't think properly.

I forgot to ask her on a date for lunch tomorrow... to ask where does she wants to have dinner arrangements at night after we marry... to ask how many children she wants... Two, Four, Eight... I could give her a Hundred if she wanted... to ask what would we name our first child?

You know... The important stuff...

Now I have to search her all over again! But how did I lose her?

- A little while ago-

"WHATTT????" I screamed (in a manly way... not a fro fro way)

She looked startled a bit by my scream. Her beautiful and expressive eyes widened and I felt a strand of fear, swept into them.

Oh great... Way to go, Adam!!! Now she is scared.

First rule of Hunting is to try to make yourself invisible when you stalk the prey. After that when your prey relaxes, you stalk it very carefully to move in and closing all ways to exit. When the window opens for a perfect opportunity, you pounce on your prey, taking it down.

You can do it Adam...

You can do it...

First, make her comfortable with you....

I looked away from her and spoke in a low murmur, "Why??"

"Why what??" She tilted her head.

"Why did you think that I was not interested in you??"

"You... You...well…" she paused and thought over her reply "just have a.... Quality, I guess...", then looking at me again, she shrugged.

I was stupendous. What quality???...

Thoroughly confused, I stuttered "Qu...Quality??... What the hell does that even mean???!!!!" I finished with a yell.

She startled. I flushed.

Shit!! I am not handling Step 1 well…

No shit Sherlock... Other part of my brain called out.

Ok ok...

Deep breaths...

Deep breaths...

Breathe in…

Breathe out...

Phew... ok, Now I am ready…

Calming down, I turned to her "Now... Where were we??" She looked... I don't know... Like I was stupid or had a loose screw or two.... I did take a few minutes to calm down.

I cleared her throat "Well, I am not...."

"Hiiii!!!! Excuse me!!!!" Someone exclaimed loudly beside me… Both of us jumped up.

I scowled. Why is everyone yelling today??

And why are they disturbing my time with the Goddess??

Does nobody here care about privacy??
