Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 2

Natasha POV

I woke up when I heard the alarm voice on my phone. I turned the alarm off and got out of the bed.

I checked the time and saw that it was 6 am. Shit. I am late. I have to reach there within half an hour.

I walked inside the bathroom and did my business then I took a  quick shower and wore a grey top with black denim jeans.

I walked out of the bathroom and combed my hair and put it into a ponytail.

Then I wore my shoes and applied some lip balm and walked out of my room.

I took an apple from the kitchen counter and went outside of the apartment while eating it.

I locked the door and walked out of the building. I started walking toward the Restaurant.

Suddenly I bumped into someone and before I could fall, that person held me from my waist.

I gasped and closed my eyes. My heart was beating so fast that I thought that it would come to my mouth.

I opened my eyes when I felt a pair of hands squeezing my waist. It was a man who was probably in his early 20s.

I licked my lips nervously when I felt his intense stare on me. I removed his hand softly from my waist and took a step back.

"I am so sorry sir. I wasn't looking where I was going. Actually, I was in a hurry. That's why I didn't see you. Please forgive me" I said nervously 

I tucked the strand of hair behind my hair and looked at the man who was just staring at me.

I cleared my throat and he shook his head to clear his thoughts and said "Hey it's alright. I wasn't looking where I was going too."

I just smiled and said, "Again I am sorry." 

I was about to leave when he grabbed my wrist and said: "You didn't tell me your name." 

"You didn't ask me. And it's Natasha." I said softly

He smiled and left my wrist then put his hands in his pocket and said "Beautiful name just like you. I am Liam" 

"Nice to meet you Liam but I should get going. Goodbye," I said with a small smile then walked off from there.

I walked toward my apartment and smiled to myself when I saw the kids in the Park.

They waved at me and I waved back then reached my home. I cooked dinner for myself then ate it.

The next day again I saw Liam on my way. He was in his running clothes.

"Hey, we met again." He said with a charming smile.

He was really handsome. I mean this is the first time I am admiring someone.

"Yeah," I said then bit my lower lip. 

I don't know what to say to him as this is the first time I am talking to someone other than Kelly.

Kelly is my best friend. She is from a rich family and lives with them.

"So where do you work?" He asked me curiously while leaning against the wall.

"I worked in that restaurant," I said and pointed my finger toward the restaurant.

"Oh," he said then asked me with a smile "Won't you ask me about me"

I just shrugged and said "it depends on you. I mean if you want to."

"I worked in Knights Enterprises as a PA of CEO." He replied back while staring at me without blinking.

"Oh, that's nice. I have to go. Goodbye." I said and walked away from him before he could reply to me back.

It has been a week and that's how we are meeting. I am still nervous around him.

I don't know how to speak to him. I always feel shy whenever he talks to me.

I wanted to discuss it with Kelly but she is not here as she is on vacation with her family.

Her parents are okay with our friendship. I mean they would prefer someone else as their daughter's friend.
