Chapter 17 - To Block Or Not

As Alice stared wide eyes at the gif and the sentence, another message popped up!

It was a cute Cheshire cat with an abnormally wide grin saying, " Happy New Year, new friend."

The self satisfied look on the cat was cute and suddenly Alice could not help but grin too! This was so cute! Just as her smile widened, she realized that she did not do cute. Her grin vanishing, she narrowed her eyes and was about to block the number when another message popped up," Are you thinking of blocking me now?" followed by a teasing emoticon. Was she this predictable. Her jaw tightening, Alice raised her forefinger and was about to stab the 'block' icon when another message turned up! "Hey! You need to return my favorite pair of hoodie and pyjamas! How can you ignore me like this? I can see you are online! You owe me, Miss Alice! First you made me take off my clothes and then you ran away with my clothes! How could you do this! That hoodie was pretty special! I need it back!"

As Alice read the message, she felt a flash of revulsion at the rather dramatic and petty man. And the way he worded the message in such a double meaning type of way! Before she could think better of it, her fingers moved at lightning speed as she messaged, "I burnt it!"

On the other side, lying in bed, K felt triumph course through him as he re read the reply! The silly girl was just the same! Angry at the drop of a hat! He knew just how to push her buttons!

Placing an arm under his head he stared at the message before single handed pasting a link and sending it to her. Single handedly, he typed under it, before placing the phone on the side and getting out of bed. The man's shaggy hair fell across his forehead as he stretched to remove his sleep kinks and the perfect V shape of his lean and slightly muscular body was highlighted from the sunrays behind him... Rubbing his eyes, he walked to the wardrobe and stared at the row of similarly styled hoodies that were lined in there. Taking one, he stepped into the shower, ignoring the message notification that popped up! He could just guess what it was!

And he would have been correct... As Alice stared at the link that he had sent along with the lines," You owe me one then.. Here is the link...My size would be 'L' "

How dare he! She had done a big mistake by thanking this person! Like a leech he had stuck himself to her! And it had not even been twelve hours since she met him! Like hell she was going to buy him a new hoodie!

Opening the search engine, she looked up something and finally having found what she needed, downloaded it and sent it to him! And waited for a reply...

And waited.. and waited! The dam* bastard did not even reply! Finally, tossing the phone onto the other side, she put the car in drive and started out with no destination in mind.

As she drove around aimlessly, her mind was usually full of business and plans was surprisingly clear of all this after a long time. Almost unknown to her, it was occupied by a certain handsome man... Occasionally, she would glance at her silent phone but refused to acknowledge that she was waiting for a reply. Finally, the sound of a message notification popped up and immediately she came to a shoulder in the road and parked the car. Grabbing the phone, she hurriedly opened the message and her eyes widened at the reply and her face flushed...She had sent him a picture of an old woman showing him a middle finger and he had sent her an ok sign and the picture of a wrist moving up and down...

She threw away the phone as if it was lava and glared at it hatefully.. What a perverted man! Her poor phone who had to bear the brunt of her ire, had fallen off the seat and as Alice bent and picked it up, her eyes fell on a life size advertisement banner in front of her and she almost jumped out in fright. The big picture of the man she had just been talking to hung in front of her and immediately her eyes moved to his hands that showed the 'ok' sign and her imagination started to go wild before she shook her head hard.

Staring wide eyed, she realized that he was probably a model.. Her head turned away and as she looked around she realized she had reached the shopping street...
